The Electroswitch 25-1000 panel mount Battery Monitor is a breakthrough in battery
monitoring and ground fault detection. This highly accurate panel mount instrument is
powered by the same battery it monitors. It displays charging voltage, ripple voltage,
ripple current (with optional current probe, 25-1100-H1) positive/negative ground faults
and high impedance faults based on ripple voltage and ripple current.
The alarm outputs are designed with form C relay contacts and can indicate +bus / -bus
leakage, ground shorts, over/under voltage, high ripple voltage, low ripple current, loss
of AC voltage to the charger and high impedance due to corrosion buildup.
Also included, an additional feature that generates a pulse through the ground fault path
enabling the operator to locate the exact location of the short circuit using the optional
model 25-1100-GF handheld ground fault detector.
All alarm set points and system functions are stored in on-board non-volatile memory
and will not be lost even when power goes down. Fail safe operation is provided by relay
contact when power is lost. The instrument also provides a time delay alarm feature
that allows the operator to delay alarms up to 60 seconds preventing false alarm
indications. The 25-1000 Battery Monitor supports DNP3 or Modbus serial
communication protocols over a RS-485 data line. Industry standard baud rates up to
19.2K. Additionally the instrument provides 4-20mA or 0-1mA analog outputs.

This section describes the Modbus communications protocol of the 25-1000 Series Arga Battery Monitor
(ABM), and how to exchange information with the ABM switch utilizing the Modbus protocol. The ABM Series
communicates by emulating a subset of the Modbus protocol in the operational software of the Lockout
Relay. Modbus communications uses a Master-Slave technique in which only the master can initiate a
transaction. This transaction is called a ‘Query’. When appropriate, a slave responds to the query. When a
master communicates with a slave, information is provided or requested by the master. When a slave device
receives a query, the slave responds by either supplying the requested data to the master or performing the
requested action. A slave device never initiates communications on the Modbus network, and will always
generate a response to the query addressed to it unless certain error conditions occur. The ABM Series is
designed to operate only as slave device.
Device Address
The Device Address contains the unique Modbus address of the slave being queried. Modbus protocol limits a device
address from 0 to 247 and even though addresses beyond this range can be selected they will be ignored. Address 0 is
the broadcast address but not all functions support "broadcast". The address and baud rate are user selectable in the
SYS menu.
Function Code
The Function Code in the query message defines the action to be taken by the addressed slave.
The Arga battery monitor stores user input information into holding register address space in the following
order fault alarms, battery voltage, fault voltage, minus ground voltage, ripple voltage, and ripple current.
They start at the programmed first register location. This device supports the following function codes;
Function 03 (03h) – Read Holding Registers
–
Used to read the measurements of the meter.
Function 05 (04h) – Read Input Registers
–
Used to read the measurements of the meter.
Function 08 (08h) – Diagnostic Sub function 0
–
Used to test the relay.

DNP3 Protocol
This section describes the “DNP3” communications protocol used by the ABM, and how to exchange
information with the battery monitor utilizing the “DNP3” protocol. The battery monitor communicates by
emulating a subset of the “DNP3” communications protocol in the operational software and is self-certified to
level one. This implementation of the DNP3 protocol will respond to single fragment and will only generate
single fragment responses. Unsolicited responses and application and DLL level retries are not supported.
The ABM is referred to as an IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) and will respond to a DNP3 message if there
are no detected errors in the message. The address of the ABM switch matches the address of the destination
field in the message, and message requires a reply. The addressing range of the ABM switch is 1 to 255. See
below for a description of valid messages, their actions, and replies.
Device Address
The Device Address Field of the Data Link layer will support addresses from 0 to 255 and 65535 which is the
“BROADCAST” address. All devices will act on the broadcast address so care must be taken in using it. The
ABM switch will not send a reply to a broadcast address. Each ABM switch can have its personal address and
baud rate set or changed by entering the system menu.
