Citectmodbus

This document provides instructions for using Citect SCADA software and the Modbus protocol to monitor and control Relay Monitoring Systems' digital protection relays. It outlines how to configure Citect to communicate over RS485 with the relays using Modbus registers mapped to Citect tags. Settings include a slave ID of 96, 19200 bps transmission speed, and adding offsets to Modbus registers to match internal relay parameters. Sample Citect screen templates and relay-specific Modbus register allocation tables can be downloaded for implementation.

Using Citect & Modbus Protocol with µMATRIX Platform Relays

1. Introduction
This document is intended as a guide for users of µMATRIX platform relays and programmers wishing to utilize
the SCADA communications port available on these relays.
The Citect program has been used to demonstrate the Modbus functionality of the µMATRIX platform. Citect
demonstration discs are readily available from the supplier and sample Citect screen templates (.ctz files) for
µMATRIX relays from our web site.

DPR register mapping scheme


The DPR CDB register mapping scheme is very simple:
• Scalar CDB parameters must have 40000 added to the parameter number and be defined as UINT
type (unsigned 16 bit quantity), and must be divided (scaled) by 100 to convert from Raw to
Engineering units. Reading the Tag (using or displaying in a Citect page) will read from the CDB
parameter and writing to the Tag (setting or modifying in a Citect page) will cause the CDB
parameter to be updated in the DPR.

• Boolean CDB parameters must have 00000 added to the parameter number and be defined as
DIGITAL type (1 bit quantity), and must be defined as 0 Raw to 0 Eng (False) and 1 Raw to 1 Eng
(True). Reading the Tag (using or displaying in a Citect page) will read from the CDB parameter
and writing to the Tag (setting or modifying in a Citect page) will cause the CDB parameter to be
updated in the DPR.

• To define tags (variables) representing DPR CDB parameters, do the following:


• Run Citect
• Create a New Project Named "RMS DPR"
• Select ‘My Projects | RMS DPR | Tags’ from the Projects List.

Using Citect & Modbus Protocol with µMATRIX Platform Relays

• Select ‘Variable Tags’ from the ‘Contents of Tags’.


• Define Tags representing DPR scalar CDB parameters (registers) that will be used in Citect as
UINT (unsigned 16 bit quantities), and add 40000 to the desired CDB register number. In the
example below, CDB register 250 (Setpoint Voltage) is mapped in the ModBus RTU protocol to
register 40250. This register can be read from and written to the DPR. Note the scaling factor of
100: All scalar CDB parameters are stored internally as integers; to obtain the floating point value
for use in Citect, the CDB parameter must be divided by 100, for example, if the scalar CDB
parameter 250 contained the number 12450, it is meant to be interpreted as 124.50 (Volts in this
case).

• Define Tags representing DPR boolean CDB parameters (registers) that will be used in Citect as
DIGITAL (1 bit quantities), and add 00000 to the desired CDB register number. In the example
below, CDB register 936 (Save CDB To Flash) is mapped in the ModBus RTU protocol to register
00936. This register can be read from and written to the DPR. Scaling must be set to 0 for False
and 1 for True.

6. Citect setup for RS485 connection to DPR


The example is based on Citect 5.30 communicating with a RMS DPR 2V164 with the following
communications and ModBus RTU protocol settings:

• RS485 half duplex connection with RTS control of the RS232 port.
• 19200 bps
• 8 bits data size
• No parity
• Default Slave id = 96

An RS232/RS485 converter is connected to the COM2 port of the computer running Citect.

Proceed as follows:

• Run Citect
• Select the project named "RMS DPR"
• Set ModBus Protocol Parameters in Citect

• Select ‘My Projects | RMS DPR | Communications’ from the Projects List.

• The I/O Server - needs no change

• The I/O device - ensure MODBUS and address are set

• Ports - need to add -t1,6 to control RTS timing for RS485 half duplex operation -t (RTS signal
control enabled), 1 (raise RTS for 1 millisecond before transmitting to DPR), 6 leave RTS high for 6
milliseconds while transmitting to DPR)

• Board - needs no change
