The Modbus address, baud rate, parity, and response time can be set.
Input/output
- Measurement method [Reg. 40008]
- Enable energy storage in flash memory [Reg. 40008]
- Channel for frequency calculation [Reg. 40008]
- Transformation ratio for voltage and current [Reg. 40009 - 40011]
- Measurement filtering [Reg. 40007]
- Display threshold for current and power [Reg. 40013]
- Choice: “Power factor” I have technically translated as power factor (PF); that is the usual Dutch term in electrical measurements.
- Usage: “Real Power” is translated here as real power . In technical documentation, this is often referred to as active power , especially when the unit is W.
