The DL4000-PM is a custom interface which is setup to Poll certain files from an A-B Power Monitor 3000 and sends the data to a specified Modbus Slave device and Register range. The DL4000-PM acts as a DF1 Half Duplex Master device to poll the Power Monitor. Translates the data into Modbus RTU and writes the data to a specified Modbus RTU slave device. Contact us for more information.

Easy Configuration
Using the supplied configuration program the DL4000-PM is setup to poll the following from an A-B Power Monitor. The Modbus Slave ID, DF1 Power Monitor Address, and Starting Modbus registers for all seven commands are configurable in the current version.
In the Power Monitor 3000 the following Files and Types are read and this is hard-coded for now. A- B Files and Elements – F15 (14 elements)
– F16 (11 elements)
– F17 (13 elements)
– F18 (10 elements)
– F19 (13 elements)
– N20 (23 elements)
– N21 (23 elements)
