About Registers
For registers defined in bits, the rightmost bit is referred to as bit 00. Figure B–1 shows how
bits are organized in a register.
The power meter registers can be used with MODBUS or JBUS protocols. Although the
MODBUS protocol uses a zero-based register addressing convention and JBUS protocol
uses a one-based register addressing convention, the power meter automatically
compensates for the MODBUS offset of one. Regard all registers as holding registers
where a 30,000 or 40,000 offset can be used. For example, Current Phase A will reside in
register 31,100 or 41,100 instead of 1,100.
Floating-point Registers
Floating-point registers are also available. To enable floating-point registers, see “Enabling
Floating-point Registers” on page 91.
