Introduction
This document contains the hardware and software protocol interface definition for theModBus Translator board, hereafter referred to as the ModBus Translator. This document isprovided as a reference for existing MicroTurbine configurations that use the CapstonePower Server, which is no longer manufactured. The Advanced Power Server (APS),currently supplied by Capstone, has ModBus connectivity built in and does not require theModBus Translator.
The ModBus Translator is an electrical device powered from a nominal 12 VDC source thatprovides data exchange between the RS-232 port of a Capstone MicroTurbine System and
an RS-485 ModBus network. The ModBus uses a microprocessor to communicate with theCapstone MicroTurbine System to provide data over a RS-485 ModBus network.
All devices on a bus must operate according to the same electrical standards (RS-232 or RS-485, not mixed). RS-232C standards specify that only two devices may be connected to abus (i.e. only one slave is allowed). RS-485 specifications allow up to 32 devices (31 slaves)on a bus.

Overview
The ModBus Translator is a self-contained pre-programmed unit, designed for instantconnectivity with a Capstone MicroTurbine. There is no customer requirement to open theunit all necessary connectors are on the exterior of the unit.
There are two steps required to prepare the ModBus Translator for use.
Step 1:
When the ModBus is first prepared for use at the Capstone factory, the ModBus codeset isdownloaded from a local PC to the ModBus using a local RS-232 connection.
NOTEThis download does not need to be performed again by the user except underspecial circumstances ! If re-programming must be performed, see Appendix
A, ModBus Codeset Download, for the sequence of required steps.
The figure below shows the hardware connection sequence for ModBus codeset download:
Step 2:
Perform RS-232 connections between the ModBus Translator and the (Model C30 orC60/C65) MicroTurbine Connection Bay. These interconnections are shown on Figures 1 and2.

ModBus Interface
Description
The ModBus network is a MASTER to SLAVE network; that is to say, one node asks aquestion and a second node answers. A NODE is a ModBus device that is connected to thenetwork. All communication is initiated selectively by the MASTER to other nodes byassigning each SLAVE NODE a unique address in the range of 1 to 247. Address 0 is aBROADCAST ADDRESS that can be used with certain ModBus functions to allow theMASTER to address all SLAVE NODES at one time. This device does not respond toBROADCAST messages.
ModBus Address
Each ModBus device responds to a single ModBus address. The address is in the range of1 to 247, and each device must have a unique address.
Transaction Timing
Commands shall be processed and responded to by the ModBus Translator within 50ms.Write commands sent to the ModBus Translator are confirmed within 50ms, but updates tothe Capstone MicroTurbine System may not occur for up to 500ms.
Read registers are updated by a polling operation in the converter. Several read registersmay be updated by the ALLDAT command and are designated with an asterisk (*) in Table 8,RS232 Command column. ALLDAT is sent every 1 second. Other Read registers areupdated in a round robin fashion at varying time intervals designated in the following table.Whenever a Write command is sent, the MicroTurbine will respond, causing certain Readregisters to update. This will occur within 500ms in all cases.
Read Timing:1 Response from Translator: 50ms
2 Read Register update from MicroTurbine: See Table 8
Write Timing:1 Response from Translator: 50ms
2 Response time from MicroTurbine: Max 500ms
3 Update to Read register in Translator Max 500ms

without incurring any obligation either with respect to equipment previously sold or in the process of construction.
Data Format
Information regarding states and measurements made by the MicroTurbine are placed into aset of holding registers (4XXXX).
Registers are defined as READ ONLY (less than or equal to 47999) or WRITE and READ(greater than 48000) registers.
Both Read and Write Registers are converted to two byte values prior to transmission withthe following formula:
Register Number 40001
Example: To read Register 40008, first subtract 40001 resulting in 7. Convert this to two-byte hex: 0007h. This is the register value transmitted.
Similarly, when reading a Write register, such as 48507, the Register number returned wouldbe 213Ah, which is (48507-40001 = 8506 = 213Ah)
All data from the ModBus registers is returned in either word (16-bits) or long word (32-bits)integer format. A long word integer format containing 2 words will always be transmitted highword first (lower address).
Integer data requires either translation or conversion to engineering units. Translations aredescribed as an integer value representing some state or level. Integers may be converted totheir corresponding floating-point representation with the units conversions provided.Information to perform the translation or conversion is described for each register in theRepresentation field of the tables.

ModBus Protocol
Introduction
The ModBus protocol is an open standard that defines a command-response method ofcommunicating digital information between a master and slave device. The electricalconnection between devices is known as a bus. In ModBus, two types of devices attach tothe bus, master and slave devices. A master device issues commands to slaves. A slavedevice, such as the ModBus Translator device, issues responses to master commands thatare addressed to them. Each bus must contain exactly one master and may contain asmany slaves as the electrical standards permit.
When RS-485 ModBus queries are sent to the translator board, the board responds with datait has buffered from the MicroTurbine system. ModBus commands to write registers in thetranslator board are immediately queued up and transmitted to the MicroTurbine system overthe RS-232 network. Both origination and user responses are buffered and can be readback.
The ModBus protocol specifications define two types of transmission modes: ASCII andRTU. This manual describes only the more common RTU mode.
ModBus RTU Message Framing
Each message from either a master or slave consists of a continuous stream of characters.A silent interval of 3.5 characters times (3.5 * 11 bits / 9600 bps = 3.5ms) or more separatesthese communication streams. A typical response from this device would be:
Enable the output interface drivers (RS-485)
Wait 5 character times
Send the response as a continuous stream Wait 3.5 character times
Disable the output interface drivers (RS-485)
ModBus RTU Message Content
The ModBus RTU Message stream consists of an address byte, a function code byte, anumber of message bytes, and two check bytes. The address byte, which is in the range 1 to247, specifies the identity of the slave device. The function code byte in a master commandindicates the operation that the slave is to perform. The function code byte in a slaveresponse is the same value as the master command function code if no error occurs,
otherwise it has 128 added to it.
The message bytes in a command contain additional information needed to perform thecommand. Message bytes in a response contain the data requested if no error has occurredor a one-byte exception code upon errors. The check bytes are generated using the CRC-16polynomial generator sequence (x16+ x15+ x2+ 1) with the remainder pre-initialized to all 1s.The least significant byte of the CRC is transmitted first.

Read Registers
All read registers associated with a write register shall be updated within 500ms of asuccessful ModBus write operation. This provides time for the device to issue an RS-232operation with the MicroTurbinesystem and verify the change has occurred.
NOTERead registers which may be updated with the ALLDAT command areindicated by an asterisk (*) following the RS232 command in Table 8.
Two ModBus Translator modes of operation are Stationary, S in Table 8, and HybridElectric Vehicle (HEV), H in Table 8. These modes are mutually exclusive.
NOTE
The character H in the Mode column of Table 8 indicates both C30 andC60/C65 HEV. If the register does not apply to C30, it is noted by N3 inparentheses. If the register does not apply to C60/C65, it is noted by N6 inparentheses.
Another mode of operation, for connections to a Capstone Power Server (CPS) is alsoprovided. By selecting either mode (Write Register 48021), the system will provide differentcommand options as described in the table below.
