1 INTRODUCTION
This document is a complement of the Communication pack that ITRON provides after the
signature of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that ensures confidentiality of provided data and
information. It completes the description of the communication possibilities of the CORUS with the
description of the MODBUS RTU protocol.
The communication pack also includes :
Description of data and protocol (document for the I-FLAG protocol)

Drivers for integration of I-FLAG protocol low layers (DLL)
Document that explains how to use the DLL
Zip-file containing all available Mapping files
General information concerning CORUS protocols
The first protocol to have been implemented into the CORUS is based on SEVC-D one, called I-FLAG
(based on IEC61107). This allows warranting a compatibility of low-layers of the protocol.
To complete ITRON offer and achieve compatibility with most of AMR and SCADA systems, the
Modbus RTU protocol has also been integrated within CORUS since firmware version V0.74 (and
above) and also MID versions.
The Modbus RTU protocol does not replace the I-FLAG protocol. Both are present simultaneously
in the CORUS.
The result is a fully flexible communication system that usually reduces communication duration
and improve reliability, with a large choice of compatible AMR or SCADA software.
The CORUS is able to answer alternatively to requests of both protocols. However, the MODBUS
RTU protocol has no wake-up phase. So, the communication port must be set to the appropriate
communication speed (no auto-bauding function as for IFLAG protocol).
The current document includes two main parts :

3 Description of data access using MODBUS RTU
Data access using MODBUS RTU protocol can be split in two:
Reading and programming CORUS parameters,
Database reading (events, parameters and calendar and interval logs).
3.1 Access to the parameters
Addressing parameters using MODBUS is achieved using WORD format (2 bytes) and all
parameters of BYTE or FLAG format are given a complete address, meaning a WORD.
The management of MODBUS protocol in Corus requires new parameters:

MODBUS address table for parameters (one single address per parameter).
Description of the structure for database logs.
Etc..
3.1.1 Parameters
A table is giving the user the possibility to configure the MODBUS address for each single
parameter.
The table also contains the data formats and the access level.
Example:
Param_ID Param_Add_Mb Param_Format Param_Acces

0 0x0000 FLOAT R/W | LEVEL0
1 0x0002 FLOAT R | LEVEL1
2 0x0004 BYTE R/W | LEVEL 5
3 0x0005 FLAG R
4 0x0006 ULONG R
5 0x0008 INDEX R
6 0x000C
Rows description:
Param_ID ID-number of the parameter (same as for IFLAG protocol

mapping)
Param_Add_Mb MODBUS address
Param_Format Data format in MODBUS
Param_Acces Access (Read/Write) + access level
Param_ID is the same ID as in the IFLAG mapping file.

Param_Add_Mb is the address of the first Word of the parameter.
Param_Format can be used to include adaptation mechanisms to the format required by the user.
Example: Conversion of an INDEX to ULONG (integer part).
7/42
Param_Acces indicates if the parameter is only accessible for reading or reading/programming,
and defines the access level.
8/42
4 Database logs reading
The MODBUS address table doesnt give access to all data at the same time. So, a specific
mechanism has been defined to read the database.
The basic idea is to have a part of the database (the most recent) always visible with direct access.
The size of this part is configurable.
The rest of the database remains accessible with two modes Pages and Frames.
The Frames mode allows the reading of a restricted address zone (125 words) and uses the same
principle as the reading with the IFLAG protocol.
The Pages mode gives access to the integrality of the address zone reserved for database that is
split in pages. The number of pages must be specified to load the corresponding data into the
visible part.
4.1 Definition of the address zones for database logs

Each log has a structure defining its direct addressable zone. The format of this structure is the
following:
Name Function Type

DB_Start_Add Starting address of the database R/W WORD
DB_Nb_Record Number of directly visible records R/W WORD
DB_Mask_Data Mask for the fields of the database (option) R/W ULONG
DB_Record_Size Size of records in words R BYTE
These structures are parameters that can be accessed via MODBUS.
Example: The interval database must present 720 records, composed by all data of the database
(with DIM mask full), starting from address 0x10000.
The structure of the database is the following:
Name Value
DB_Start_Add 0x10000
DB_Nb_Record 720
DB_Mask_Data 0xFFFF
DB_Record_Size 38
Consequently, the MODBUS memory space reserved for the interval database will be:
0x10000 0x16AE0
The minimal size of the memory space for a log is one record.
Warning: The address space must contain at least 252 bytes (126 words) to enable the reading in
Frame mode.
9/42
4.2 Reading with direct access
If data are in the direct access space, the reading is done with the standard MODBUS commands
for the reading of registers (0x03).
A locking mechanism is activated to block the recording of new data in the database during the
reading. The mechanism is activated immediately after receiving the reading request for this
specific space, and remains active until the reading is completed for this space.
4.3 Reading with extended access
As previously indicated, there are two modes of extended access:
Frame Mode
Page Mode
These two modes are accessible through a programming command having the following structure:
Name Function RW Type

Num_DB Database number RW WORD
Mode Reading mode RW WORD
Num_Page Page number RW WORD
Num_Start/Date_Start Number and date of the first record RW ULONG
Num_End/Date_End Number and date of the last record RW ULONG
Total_Nb_Record Total number of records associated to the R WORD
reading request
Nb_Record Number of records on the current page R WORD
Nb_Pages Number of pages on the request R WORD
Record_Size Size of one record R WORD

Bit 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8
Error code
Current session = If the value of this bit is 0, the lock of the database is activated.
During the reading of the other pages, this bit should be set to 1 to maintain the
coherence between pages.
Error code = Following a programming command of the structure (reading command of

database), its possible to detect if the command is correct by reading this field again.
The following error codes are managed:
Code Error
0 OK
30 Empty selection (Database empty or error on start/end)
31 Programming command of a database structure not correct (num_db, type, etc..)
32 PAGE: Page number not included on selected range
64 FRAME : No previous frame (start_add on frame 0)
65 FRAME : size superior to 124
66 FRAME : address different from start_add or start_add+1
67 FRAME : end of selection

12/42
4.3.1 Frame mode
The principle of the frame mode is to read the complete database by frames of 246 bytes, always
on the same MODBUS address. It allows the reduction of the direct addresses space of a database
to its minimal size and to be able to read all data.
Frame 0
Frame 1
Frame 2
Direct
Frame 3
Frame 4 Frame X
Frame 5 MODBUS

Hidden zone
Frame N
The principle is the following:
1) Programming of the reading structure (Selection request).
This action defines the zone of the database that we wish to read.
Name Function
Num_DB Number of the data base
Mode 0x02
Num_Page Not used
Num_Start/Date_Start Number or date of the first record
Num_End/Date_End Number or date of the last record
13/42
2) Check of the reading structure.
Name Function
Num_DB Number of the database
Mode Reading Mode
Num_Page 0x00
Total_Nb_Record Total number of records associated to the
reading request
Nb_Record Not used
Nb_Pages Number of frames on the request
Record_Size Size of one record
The error code of the mode determines if the previous command has been acknowledged
correctly.
The Total_Nb_Record gives the total number of records selected by the request.
The Nb_Pages gives the number of frames of the selection.
The Record_Size gives the size of a record.
3) Frame reading
The reading of frames is uniquely made on the first MODBUS address of the direct access space
(Start_Add) + 1.
If the reading of the frame is correct, the next reading at address Start_Add+1 automatically
increments the pointer on the database. If there is an error during the reading, the next reading is
done at the address Start_Add, and, in this case, the pointer is not incremented so that we can
read the same frame again.
14/42
The reading of the structure is the following:
PDU format only. The Header and CRC must be added.
Word 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 124
Num_ Data
Frame
Num_Frame : number of frame in the selection.
If the last frame is not complete, the remaining space will be filled with 0xFF.
4) Example

Records numbers 10 to 100
Frame mode.
The structure describing the Interval log accessible memory is the following:
Name Value
DB_Nb Record 720

The process is the following:
1) Programming of the reading structure (Selection request).
This action defines the area of the database that we wish to read. By doing this, the database is
locked and new incoming data cant modify the selected area.
Name Function
Num_DB Database number
Mode 0x01
Num_Page 0x00

2) Check of the reading structure.
The check is not mandatory but gives the size of the zone covered by the request.
Name Function
Num_DB Number of the database
Mode Reading mode
Num_Page 0x00
Total_Nb_Record Total number of records associated to the
reading request
Nb_Record Number of records in a page
Nb_Pages Number of pages in the request
Record_Size Size of a record
The error code of the Mode determines if the previous command has been acknowledged
correctly.
The Total_Nb_Record gives the total number of records selected by the request.
The Nb_Record gives the number of records in a page.
The Nb_Pages gives the number of pages in the selection.
The Record_Size gives the size of a record.
3) Pages reading
Once that the selection is done, the reading of data is made through standard MODBUS frames
(register 0x03).
To change the page, the user must send a selection request where the bit Current Session of mode
field is set to TRUE. The number of the new page is in field Num_Page of the same request.
After sending a request to change the page, its possible to read again and check the field
Nb_Record to know the number of records contained in the page.
The sequence for reading the pages has no importance. The same applies for readings inside a
page.

Reading of a page
Reading of N (1 N 125) words at address Add_Read = 0x10000

Answer
Word 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 N
Address_real from 0x0000 to 0x0000+N
Reading of M (1 M 125) words at address Add_Read = 0x10000+N+1

Answer
Word 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 N
Address_real from 0x0000+N+1 to 0x0000+N+M+1
The real address is the position of data within the selection done on the database.
Address_real =
(Num_Page x DB_Nb Record x (DB_Record_Size/2)) + Add_Read - DB_Start_Add.
Add_Read = Reading address of MODBUS frame.
Page change (Page 1)
Name Value
Num_DB 0x00
Mode 0x81
Num_Page 0x01
Reading of page 0x01

Reading of N (1 N 125) words at address Add_Read = 0x10000

Answer
Word 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 N
Address_real from 0x0980 to 0x0980+N
Reading of M (1 M 125) words at address Add_Read = 0x10000+N+1

Answer
Word 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 N
Address_real from 0x0980+N+1 to 0x0980+N+M+1
Programming of end of reading request
Name Value
Num_DB 0x00
Mode 0x00
This operation restores the direct access (page 0).

5 Special Functions
The MODBUS table of addresses is user-configurable. For this reason, mistakes made on the table
may affect readings using MODBUS and even make these readings impossible. In order to
overcome any possible problem, some special functions have been added to the protocol:
Address reading of the addresses table.
Priority to the addresses table in case of address discrepancy (overlap).
Possibility to reset the table to default settings.
5.1 Address reading of the addresses table
The addresses table is a table containing all the MODBUS addresses of the parameters used in
CORUS. The table also contains its own address. If the table must be modified in case of problem,
two information items are needed:
The MODBUS address of the table.
The position of this address within the table.
Its possible to access these data with a reading request of two WORD at the address 0xFFFF. This
operation is normally prohibited as we are outside the valid range of addresses for MODBUS, but
this limits the conflicts with other existing applications.
Reading request
0x01 0x03 0xFF 0xFF 0x00 0x00 0xC4 0x2F
Answer
Id XCMD0 Add XCMD0
0x01 0x03 0x00 0x00 0xF2 0x04 0x85 0x98 0xA3
Remark: The values are coded in little endian .

ID-Number XCMD0 = 0xF2 (Dec. 242 ).
Add XCMD0 = 0x485 (Dec. 1157 ).
5.2 Priority of the addresses table

Its possible to know the status of the MODBUS memory mapping by reading the parameter
XCMDF.
XCMDF = 1 Mapping OK
XCMDF = 0 Overlap in addresses
In case of overlap (XCMDF = 0), the priority for the address is given to the addresses table.
21/42
5.3 Reset of the addresses table
In case of a major problem concerning coherence on the MODBUS addresses, its possible to reset
the addresses to default values.
To do so, the user must program the value 0xDD100867 to the address 0xFFFF.

The communication pack also includes :

Description of data and protocol (document for the I-FLAG protocol)

General information concerning CORUS protocols

The current document includes two main parts :

Description of new functions and detection of the communication protocol

DATA EXCHANGE PHASE DATA EXCHANGE PHASE

2.1 I-FLAG Protocol

The I-FLAG protocol for CORUS is described in the document:

2.2 MODBUS RTU Protocol

The reference documents for the MODBUS protocol are:

[DG1] MODBUS Application protocol specification V1.1 (04/06/04)

[DG2] MODBUS over Serial Line V1.0 (02/12/02)

[DG3] MODBUS messaging on TCP/IP implementation guide V1.0a

These documents are available at www.modbus.org

3.1 Access to the parameters

The management of MODBUS protocol in Corus requires new parameters:

Param_ID Param_Add_Mb Param_Format Param_Acces

Param_ID ID-number of the parameter (same as for IFLAG protocol

Param_ID is the same ID as in the IFLAG mapping file.

4.1 Definition of the address zones for database logs

Name Function Type

These structures are parameters that can be accessed via MODBUS.

4.3 Reading with extended access

As previously indicated, there are two modes of extended access:

Name Function RW Type

Num_DB Database Logs

Error code = Following a programming command of the structure (reading command of

The following error codes are managed:

Date/Num = Reading mode

The principle is the following:

1) Programming of the reading structure (Selection request).

The Nb_Pages gives the number of frames of the selection.

The Record_Size gives the size of a record.

PDU format only. The Header and CRC must be added.

Num_Frame : number of frame in the selection.

Programming of the reading request

Reading of 125 words at address 0x10001

Reading of 125 words at address 0x10001

Reading of 125 words at address 0x10001

Reading of 125 words at address 0x10001

Programming of the end of reading request:

This operation returns to the direct access mode.

The process is the following:

1) Programming of the reading structure (Selection request).

The Nb_Record gives the number of records in a page.

The Nb_Pages gives the number of pages in the selection.

The Record_Size gives the size of a record.

The real size of the Interval log is:

Programming of the reading request

Check of the request

Reading of M (1 M 125) words at address Add_Read = 0x10000+N+1

Add_Read = Reading address of MODBUS frame.

Page change (Page 1)

Reading of page 0x01

Reading of M (1 M 125) words at address Add_Read = 0x10000+N+1
