With a Siemens logo, a few relays want to switch based on the start stop generator function.
If I now want to read the conditions of the start I get the following message (see attachment).
I have also tried to read the manual start. I then give start address 3501 and then I get no error and my relay of the Logo does switch. Does anyone know what is going wrong or what the correct starting address is?
Based on the screenshot you posted, 3 registers are read starting from 3501. But according to the Victron CCGX modbus tcp document, only 3501 and 3502 exist. For the latest version of the modbus tcp document Rev. 40 register 3503 is still not used. Try to read only required and of course existing registers. For generator they are:
3500 Manual Start 3501 Condition that started the generator 3502 Runtime in seconds ---- 3504 Runtime in seconds ---- 3506 Generator start/stop state 3507 Generator remote error 3508 Generator not detected at AC input alarm
The register 3501 is read only and shows the generator start reason based on auto start / stop settings. If you need to start or stop the generator via modbus with a remote PLC relay, you must configure the GX - Generator auto start / stop first. Venus device built-in Relay 1 will control the generator by default. In your case, for the remote PLC relay, read register 806 CCGX Relay 1 state unit ID 100 and 0 = generator stop and 1 = generator start.
Hello Mikhail,
Thanks for your comment.
I just want to read out why the generator starts and then Q1 should switch from my Logo.
I try to request 3501 via the logo, but then I get the error at the modbus page in Cerbo.
It is the start address that is in the Modbus list, but does not become strange movements.
I have the auto start stop function on with a hairdryer loaded in the system until I have to start my generator automatically.
@JS92 Try to check Logo's settings. Based on the CerboGX error report, Logo is trying read three registrs instead of one. And one of these three registers does not exist in the CerboGX. So, Logo should read register start address 3501, guantity 1 (instead of quantity 3).
i change the guantity 1 and now it wil work.thanks for that.
But now I come across the following again.
When I start the generator on SOC I also get the start for overload.
To check, I used Q2 for overload.
So both relays turn on when I now start on SOC of Overload, it doesn't matter.
I the pictures you can see it.
