D232, DUSB and DNET Communications Specification v0.4

Overview
The D232 and DUSB provide a communications interface to the Plasmatronic’s Dingo product range.
The D232 and DUSB conform to the Modbus protocol, with some noted limitations.
Complete Modbus protocol specifications are publicly available from:
http://www.modbus.org/specs.php.

Please note that the DUSB and D232 are powered via the connection to the Dingo.

Communications Parameters
All communications are RTU mode.
As per the Modbus specification, the default communications parameters are:
 9600 baud
 8 data bits
 Even parity
 1 stop bit
 No flow control
The default server (slave) address is 0x08.

Alternate values are supported and are configurable via software settings.

Changing Communication Parameters

To prevent accidental loss of communications with the device, there is a special procedure to change the slave
address, baud rate, parity and stop bits used. Changing these parameters requires two writes. The first will
change the active parameter in use. The second is write is done at the new settings to confirm that
communications are successful at the new settings.
If the second write is not conducted within 20 seconds the active parameter will revert to the stored value.
The active parameter is what is currently in use by the device. The stored parameter is what is kept in non
volatile memory. When a register is written with a value matching the active value then that value is stored in
persistent memory so that the parameter change is preserved across power cycles.

Modbus Function Codes

The following function codes are supported:

Function Code Comment

Read Holding Registers

0x03 A maximum of 16 registers can be read simultaneously.
Read Input Registers
0x04 A maximum of 16 registers can be read simultaneously.
Write multiple registers. EEPROM and RAM only.
0x10 A maximum of 8 registers can be written simultaneously.
Read Device Identification – ‘Basic’ options are supported.
0x2B /0x0E

Function codes 0x03, 0x04 and 0x10 all refer to an identical register space.

D232, DUSB and DNET Communications Specification v0.4

Register Map
The address space is divided into 65535 contiguous
registers, each 16bits in size. Register addresses are Segment PDU address
specified as the PDU address (starting from 0). An
address can be either: Valid, Reserved, Internal, 0x0000
LEGACY
Invalid, Legacy. 0x0FFF
Valid addresses support reads and may support 0x1000
writes. Internal addresses can be read but should 0x100F
not be written to. Reserved address ranges are 0x1020
INFO
Any query attempting to read from or write to an 0x102F
invalid address will fail.
0x1040
Read and write behaviour for Legacy address ranges
0x104F
are undefined and should be avoided.
0x1200

The available registers are divided into discrete 0x120D

segments. The register address space is partitioned 0x1210
so that these segments are separated and multiple 0x121D
segments cannot be read or written within a single 0x1220
transaction. History data should be read in two day
OTHER EXTERNAL 0x122D
chunks (16 registers at a time, starting address
DEVICES 0x1230
aligned to nearest multiple of 16).

Property ID
For ease of reference a label is attributed to some registers.

Data types
All registers are 16 bits wide, but can have varying representations.

Type Description
UINT8 Unsigned 8 bit integer. The upper 8 bits can be ignored.
INT8 Signed 8 bit integer, 2’s complement format. The upper 8 bits can be ignored.
UINT16 Unsigned 16 bit integer.
INT16 Signed 16 bit integer, 2’s complement format.
BITMASK Treat as UINT16.
ENUM Enumerated type. Consult the reference manual for meanings of specific values.

Data Mask
Some registers contain multiple properties within a single register. In such cases a mask of the appropriate bits
is specified to show the significant bits. The value itself is shifted the same amount that the mask would need
to be shifted so that the lowest set bit of the mask moves into the least significant bit. For example a value with
mask of 0xF0 would be shifted 4 times to the right after applying the mask to the data.

Units and Scaling

Values may have a scaling applied in order to be able to report fractional quantities. Such a value may have
units expressed as ‘Volts/10’, indicating that the reported quantity is in tenths of volts: divide this value by ten
to get the decimal value in volts.

Minimum and Maximum ranges

These give the minimum and maximum allowable values to write to a register. The values are specified in their
raw (unscaled) form. The MIN and MAX identifiers are used to show where the allowable value range is
determined by the data type.
Attempting to set values outside of the specified ranges will result in the set value being clamped to the
appropriate maximum or minimum.

Plasmatronics Software
wwww.plasmatronics.com.au has python and vbs example scripts (DSCRIPT) and
Excel and OpenOffice Calc spreadsheets (Dingo.xls and DinglLO.ods) using
this protocol for downloading data. Also PRISM software for Dingo Remote
operation from MS Windows.

Example Queries
Here we assume some familiarity with the Modbus protocol, as well as hex numbering and notation (0x00 etc).
There are many good beginner tutorials available on the internet, and the Modbus protocol specification itself
is an excellent reference.

Please note that as per Modbus protocol, the D232 and DUSB do not reply to queries with an invalid or missing
CRC. The Dingo scripts at www.plasmatronics.com.au include CRC calculation routines.. Another online
resource for calculating Modbus CRCs can be found at http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/crc-
calculation.html (but please note that the byte order of the output is wrong! - use the example below as a
reference). Other PC programs are also available, such as RealTerm, which can automatically append correct
CRC bytes to manually constructed queries.

Read Battery Voltage

In this example we send a modbus request to device address 8 to read a single (1) register whose PDU address
is 0x1004. The request has a total length of 8 bytes and includes a valid CRC computed from the first 6 bytes.
We receive a valid response with a valid CRC saying that the register value is 0x007C, or 124 in decimal. The
units of this register are Volts/10, so to get a reading in volts, we multiply by 10 to get 12.4 volts.

Tx (Send):
0x08 0x04 0x10 0x04 0x00 0x01 0x74 0x52
Rx: (Receive):
0x08 0x04 0x02 0x00 0x7C 0x64 0xD0

Changing the Float Voltage

Say we want to set the float voltage to 14.0 volts. The PDU address for this setting is 0x3024, and its units are
Volts/10. The required register value to write is therefore 140, or 0x008C hex. Even though we only want to set
one register, the D232 and DUSB only supports function code 0x10 (write multiple registers), so we use this
request, specifying one register only (i.e. 2 bytes).
The response confirms that one register at address 0x3024 was successfully written. (The Dingo may take a few
minutes to make the changes become active.)

Tx:
0x08 0x10 0x30 0x24 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x00 0x8c 0xFB 0x42

ESS
XLMI_RESET Special register for soft reset. 0x5FFF UINT16
To prevent unintended resets the device requires a
specific procedure of reads and writes in order to reset
properly:
1. Write any value to the XLMI_RESET register
2. Read the XLMI_RESET register and retain the result
3. Write the read value into the XLMI_RESET register.
The device will reset immediately and will not respond.
A maximum of 4 seconds is allowed between each
step. If this time out expires, the sequence must be
restarted.
