This page describes the device driver and the device window for the KBR Multimess 4F96 mains power measurement device. The driver reads the following measurement values from the device for all three lines of a three-phase voltage:
Configuration settings
The KBR Multimess unit is controlled through Modbus/TCP. The device's IP address must be set as an interface name like with serial devices controlled through a network terminal adapter: "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:502" where 502 is the standard Modbus/TCP port number.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- Shows the actual measurement values
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the device.
