This document contains the hardware and software protocol interface definition for the
ModBus Translator board, hereafter referred to as the ModBus Translator. This document is
provided as a reference for existing MicroTurbine configurations that use the Capstone
Power Server, which is no longer manufactured. The Advanced Power Server (APS),
currently supplied by Capstone, has ModBus connectivity built in and does not require the
ModBus Translator.
The ModBus Translator is an electrical device powered from a nominal 12 VDC source that
provides 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 the
Capstone 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 a
bus (i.e. only one slave is allowed). RS-485 specifications allow up to 32 devices (31 slaves)
on a bus.

Overvi ew
The ModBus Translator is a self-contained pre-programmed unit, designed for instant
connectivity with a Capstone MicroTurbine. There is no customer requirement to open the
unit 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 is
downloaded from a local PC to the ModBus using a local RS-232 connection.
NOTE
This download does not need to be performed again by the user except under
special 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 or
C60/C65) MicroTurbine Connection Bay. These interconnections are shown on Figures 1 and
2.

5 28800-E-8-1
6 38400-E-8-1
7 9600-N-8-1

Address Sel ect or
On the side of the ModBus Translator, an 8-position DIP switch that appears as shown:

Each device in an RS-485 ModBus network must have a unique 8-bit address from 1 to 247.
To set the Capstone ModBus Translator address, set the DIP switches to a unique 8-bit
number. Flipping the switches up corresponds to a Logic-1, or ON. Flipping the switches
down corresponds to a Logic-0, or OFF.
Each of the bit positions is numbered such that switch number one is assumed to be the
MSB of the 8-bit address. Remember that for a RS-485 ModBus network to work, every
device on the bus MUST have a different 8-bit address. An example for setting a ModBus
address is shown below.

ModBus Int erface
Descri pt i on
The ModBus network is a MASTER to SLAVE network; that is to say, one node asks a
question and a second node answers. A NODE is a ModBus device that is connected to the
network. All communication is initiated selectively by the MASTER to other nodes by
assigning each SLAVE NODE a unique address in the range of 1 to 247. Address 0 is a
BROADCAST ADDRESS that can be used with certain ModBus functions to allow the
MASTER to address all SLAVE NODES at one time. This device does not respond to
BROADCAST messages.
ModBus Address
Each ModBus device responds to a single ModBus address. The address is in the range of
1 to 247, and each device must have a unique address.
Transact i on Ti mi ng
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 to
the Capstone MicroTurbine System may not occur for up to 500ms.
Read registers are updated by a polling operation in the converter. Several read registers
may 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 are
updated 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 Read
registers 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

Dat a For mat
Information regarding states and measurements made by the MicroTurbine are placed into a
set 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 with
the 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 would
be 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 high
word first (lower address).

Integer data requires either translation or conversion to engineering units. Translations are
described as an integer value representing some state or level. Integers may be converted to
their corresponding floating-point representation with the units conversions provided.
Information to perform the translation or conversion is described for each register in the
Representation field of the tables.
ModBus Prot ocol
Int roduct i on
The ModBus protocol is an open standard that defines a command-response method of
communicating digital information between a master and slave device. The electrical
connection between devices is known as a bus. In ModBus, two types of devices attach to
the bus, master and slave devices. A master device issues commands to slaves. A slave
device, such as the ModBus Translator device, issues responses to master commands that
are addressed to them. Each bus must contain exactly one master and may contain as
many slaves as the electrical standards permit.
When RS-485 ModBus queries are sent to the translator board, the board responds with data
it has buffered from the MicroTurbine system. ModBus commands to write registers in the
translator board are immediately queued up and transmitted to the MicroTurbine system over
the RS-232 network. Both origination and user responses are buffered and can be read
back.
The ModBus protocol specifications define two types of transmission modes: ASCII and
RTU. This manual describes only the more common RTU mode.
ModBus RTU Message Frami ng
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 separates
these 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 Cont ent
The ModBus RTU Message stream consists of an address byte, a function code byte, a
number of message bytes, and two check bytes. The address byte, which is in the range 1 to
247, specifies the identity of the slave device. The function code byte in a master command
indicates the operation that the slave is to perform. The function code byte in a slave
response 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 the
command. Message bytes in a response contain the data requested if no error has occurred
or a one-byte exception code upon errors. The check bytes are generated using the CRC-16
polynomial generator sequence (x
16
+ x
15
+ x
2
+ 1) with the remainder pre-initialized to all 1s.
The least significant byte of the CRC is transmitted first.
ModBus Funct i on and Except i on Codes
The ModBus only supports the function codes shown below. Note that the values are shown
in hexadecimal (base 16). The table below shows the value returned when an error occurs.

The ModBus will return exception codes back to the master upon certain conditions. All
function codes greater than 127 decimal (7F

message byte indicates the exception code. The table below shows error code value
definitions.
Table 2 - Error Code Value Definitions
Code Name Meaning
1 Illegal Function Master command contained an unrecognized function code.
2 Illegal Data Address Starting address is illegal. Note that some registers are read-
only.
3 Illegal Data Value Either the register count is invalid or an attempt to write an
illegal register value was found. Note this can be caused by
attempting to write fewer registers than are required for an
operation.
4 Slave Device Failure Some internal self-test of the device has failed.
6 Slave Device Busy Not communicating with MicroTurbine system
Suppor t ed ModBus Commands
The ModBus supports one read and two write commands. Example transmissions are
provided with the definition of each command below.

Read Regi st er s
All read registers associated with a write register shall be updated within 500ms of a
successful ModBus write operation. This provides time for the device to issue an RS-232
operation with the MicroTurbine

system and verify the change has occurred.
NOTE
Read registers which may be updated with the ALLDAT command are
indicated by an asterisk (*) following the RS232 command in Table 8.
Two ModBus Translator modes of operation are Stationary, S in Table 8, and Hybrid
Electric 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 and
C60/C65 HEV. If the register does not apply to C30, it is noted by N3 in
parentheses. If the register does not apply to C60/C65, it is noted by N6 in
parentheses.
Another mode of operation, for connections to a Capstone Power Server (CPS) is also
provided. By selecting either mode (Write Register 48021), the system will provide different
command options as described in the table below.

Some write registers may be written into without entering a password. However, most do
require password access in order to change the values. Write Registers 48001, 48003
48008, and 48021 48022 may be written without password access. All other Write
Registers will require entering a valid password in register 48004 through 48008 before
modifying a value. Successful entry of the password may be verified by reading back the
value at register 40006 as 1, indicating protected password access has been granted.
The paragraph below demonstrates how to enter a user password.

Entering a User Password

Passwords may be no more than 9 characters
(see Appendix A for character - hex translation)
An additional character is required for a NULL terminator (0x00)
Two characters make up one 16-bit register location
Passwords must be entered starting in location 48004
Fill any remaining register bytes with NULL (0x00)

The example below shows how to enter the default password:

Register Location Byte Contents
48004 0x55h (U) 0x53h (S)
48005 0x52h (R) 0x31h (1)
48006 0x32h (2) 0x33h (3)
48007 0x50h (P) 0x00h (NULL)
48008 0x00 (NULL) 0x00h (NULL)

Several write registers require multiple registers to be updated simultaneously in order to
complete the operation. These registers will be identified with footnotes.
All values written into the write registers can be read back using the standard ModBus read
procedure. This allows verification that the value that was attempted to be written into a
specific register, can be read back from that register. However, this value may be different
from the value of the corresponding read register, which could happen if the host device does
not or was not able to accept the command issued to it. In that case, the command value
remains unchanged and the corresponding read register on the ModBus Translator would still
contain the old value.
WARNING
Several of the registers in this section access MicroTurbine commands that
write to Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) locations. The NVM memory device
has limited number of writes (10,000 writes) that can be executed before
the device fails. All registers that apply (see below) are denoted with an
asterisk (*) character preceding the description name.

Loopback Di agnost i c Test (Funct i on Code 08)
This function performs a communication test. The command requires a Slave Address,
Function Code, Sub function Code, two bytes of user-supplied data bytes, and CRC16. The
entire response should be identical to the command. This command is typically used to verify
the existence of a device at a ModBus address. The example shown in the table below
shows the user data transmission to perform the Loopback communication.

Troubl eshoot i ng
In the event that there is a ModBus problem, attempt the following solutions provided below:
Symptom: Cannot communicate with the device through the ModBus Translator.
Solutions:
Verify that the ModBus Translator Power Indicator light is ON.
Verify that the device that the ModBus Translator is hooked to (MicroTurbine) is
powered up. This can be verified by looking for lights on the display panel.
Verify that the DB-9 serial cable from the MicroTurbine is properly plugged into both
the Turbine unit, and the ModBus Translator.
Verify that the Data Activity Indicator light on the ModBus Translator blinks
occasionally.
Verify that the RS-485 Bus wires are properly terminated, and the screws tightened
into terminals 2 and 3 of the ModBus RS-485 connector. The A-Bus wire MUST
connect to Terminal 3, and the B-Bus wire MUST connect to Terminal 2.
Change the ModBus Translator to a different address.
Change the baud rates of the entire system to a slower baud to verify. It is possible
that by adding a new node to the RS-485 system, a previously achieved baud rate
can no longer be supported. This occurs because the length of the cable and
number of nodes may have changed.
Symptom: The Power Indicator light on the ModBus Translator is not ON.
Solutions:
Verify that the power is correctly hooked to the ModBus Translator. The positive (+)
power wire MUST hook to Pin-4. The negative (-) power wire MUST hook to Pin-5.
NOTE
If these wires are hooked up backwards, permanent damage to the
ModBus Translator could occur!
Verify with a voltmeter, that the voltage at power terminals is DC, and is between
+6.0V and +25.0V.
Symptom: The Data Activity Indicator light on the ModBus Translator is not lit. This light
should never be solidly ON, but should blink ON and OFF periodically. When this light blinks,
it shows that a valid ModBus command was received on the RS-485 Bus.
Solutions:
Verify that the Power Indicator light is ON. The Data Activity light will not work if there
is inadequate power to the ModBus Translator.
Verify that the baud rate selector switch is set to the same baud rate your ModBus
master system is communicating. If data rates are not the same, bit timing will be off
and data will not be understood properly by the ModBus Translator.
If there are still communications problems, then either the address should be
changed, or the host device connected to the ModBus Translator over the DB-9
connector is not communicating.
Symptom: Unable to read back value from a read register that was previously written to a
corresponding write register.
Solutions:
Note that because this is a translator, there may be a 0.5sec to 1.0sec delay before
the write operation is actually processed. Slow down the time between writing a
Write Register and trying to read back the value from the corresponding Read
Register.
Verify access to write the register has been granted by reading register 40006. If a
zero is read back, a password must first be entered by writing registers 48004
through 48008.
Verify the connected port has control access by reading register 40003.
A write operation may require update to multiple registers - rather than just one. If
only one register is written to, the entire entry may be ignored.
Test Modes
Invalid address settings and the baud rate selector shall be used to place the system into
various modes. In addition to normal operation, test modes will be made available for the
Golden System board test operator and Unit-Under Test (UUT) functions.
The table below shows mode selections and corresponding address settings:

Mode Address Setting
Normal 1 247
Unit Under Test 0 and 248-254
Golden System 255

Gol den Syst em
The Baud Rate selector switch provided on the ModBus Translator Board will determine the
RS-485 baud rate.
A Golden System (address set to 255), when powered up will:
1. Delay for 2 seconds in order for UUT to power up. The lower LED shall be ON during
this process.
2. Begin blinking lower LED 250 msec ON, then 250 msec OFF, repeatedly, to indicate
test in progress.
3. Test RS-232 communications by executing a command to the UUT.
4. Send an RS-232 command to initiate execution of a Loopback Command on the
UUT.
5. Verify RS-485 command was received from UUT address (245
d
).
6. Respond to the UUTs Loopback Command (08
h
).
7. Verify the RS-232 response contains the correct data from the Loopback Command.
8. Execute steps 4 through 7 for nine (9) more iterations to verify operation.
9. Report that the test was successful by leaving the lower LED turned ON. When a
failure has occurred, the lower LED shall be turned OFF for 2 seconds. This OFF
period will be followed by a continued blink of the lower LED to indicate the Test Code
below followed by a 2 second OFF break. The blink rate shall be 50 msec ON
followed by 250 msec OFF.
The table below shows reported test codes:
Table 12 Reported Test Codes
Test Code Description
1 Test Successfully Complete
2 RS-232 Communication Failure
3 RS-485 Communication Failure
Uni t Under Test Mode
When powered up, the UUT will respond to commands issued by the Golden System, and
utilize functionality already implemented by the Debug Mode. The Baud Rate selector switch
provided on the ModBus Translator Board will determine RS-485 baud rate. The system will
be capable of receiving RS-232 commands that execute functions over the RS-485 ModBus
interface.

Remappi ng ModBus Regi st er s
In some implementations, it may be desirable to re-map the ModBus register assignments.
This may be done to fill in the gaps in the standard table, allowing for longer multi-byte read
operations. It can be accomplished by using the following Relocate commands.
1. The commands to assign both read and write registers are MBASGN and MBSAVE and
are available at the Capstone prompt (which is enabled by setting all address dip
switches to "off" and connecting the RS232 program to the RS232 port). When new
firmware is installed, the assignments are reset. A batch file can be created to load all
the changes at once.
The command MBASGN works as follows:
MBASGN <enter>: lists all current assignments stored in memory (not NVM)
MBASGN =0 <enter>: clears all current assignments in memory (does not Write to NVM)
MBASGN =<MODBUS addr>, <capstone addr>: assigns default capstone register to new
ModBus Address
MBASGN =<ModBus addr>, 0: deletes ModBus assignment in memory restore default
MBASGN =<ModBus addr>: displays current assignment for specified ModBus Address
shows assigned default
MBSAVE: saves current assignment list to NVM to be loaded on next boot
2. When a new ModBus address is assigned to a Capstone default register, that Capstone
register will no longer be valid at its original address and may not be assigned to another
ModBus address. In other words, it is not possible to have a Capstone default register
(read or write) appear at more than one ModBus address; nor is it possible to have more
than the original number of valid registers available at one time.
3. When re-assigning multi-word registers, only the first register location needs be assigned;
the others will follow automatically. If an attempt is made to assign a register in the
middle of a multi-word bank, a warning is generated and the command is ignored. For
write registers, the multi-word banks are obvious, may be up to 6 words long, and are
indicated as such in the documentation. For the read registers, the multi-word registers
are only those returning pure 32-bit values and may only be 2 words long. To remap
multi-word registers more than 2 words long, the user needs to reassign each word of the
multi-word register. For ex., in case of the fault register, register 46002 will need to be
remapped separately from register 46000, and that separately from register 46004, etc.
4. The MBSAVE command actually writes the assignment list from RAM to flash memory.
The next time the ModBus controller is booted, the new assignments are loaded back
into RAM and used. The MBASGN=0 command can be used to clear the RAM copy of
the assignments; to reload the assignments from NVM use the REBOOT command.
5. By using the MBASGN command to list assignments and RS232 program's "W"
command to save this to disk, a verified batch file for assigning the registers in a
production situation can be created.
NOTE
A register re-assignment map may become invalid after a software upgrade.
The registers per the new software will need to be reassigned once again
after an upgrade.

Perform the following steps to download the ModBus Codeset:
1. Copy the MODBUS software file (ex: 512620-005.crc), version 1.11, to your
hard drive, and rename the file to MODBUS.crc.
2. Ensure that the power to the MODBUS Translator Board is off.
3. The ADDRESS selector must be set with all switches in the OFF position. This
represents address 0. The position of the rotary switch does not matter.
4. Connect the MODBUS to the COM port of a PC using a straight-through
RS232 serial cable.
5. With CRMS inactive, run the RS232.exe program.
6. Within the RS232.exe interface, enter the command F1 PSSWRD=A4D5M6N!
7. Turn on power to the MODBUS translator. As soon as the Capstone Turbine
logo is seen, press the F1 key.
8. The prompt MNTADM>> should appear. If the prompt does not appear, there
is an apparent failure and earlier steps should be repeated.
9. At the prompt, type LB C:\MODBUS.CRC 70000 10000 (this will actually be the
directory of the copied crc file)
10. The next activity seen at the screen will be several lines of dots or periods;
otherwise, a series of ones and zeroes will appear. When the sequence
finishes, you will receive a 'Downloading Complete and Verified' message.
11. Enter the command DLTEST to query the checksum of this MODBUS
Application Code segment. This checksum should match that of the version
description document.
12. Enter the command DLBURN to burn the MODBUS Application Code into flash
memory.
13. Upon completion of the burn operation, type the command FLEXEC to execute
the MODBUS Application Code.
14. Upon completion of this execute operation, the message MECHO 25 is seen.
15. At this point, shut off power to the MODBUS. However, leave the RS232.exe
program active.
16. The ADDRESS selector must be set to an address in the range 1-247. The
recommended address is 55H.
17. Turn power on to the MODBUS.
18. Watch for the Capstone Turbine logo, the Boot Code version string, and the
MODBUS Application Code version string at the screen.
19. The MNT> prompt should appear.
20. Verify the Boot Code version string has the correct version number.
21. Verify the MODBUS Application Code version string has the correct version
number.
