Modbus Current Transformer

Modbus Current Transformer

The QI-300-V-485 from Qeed is a versatile AC and DC ModBus current transformer featuring Modbus RS485 and 0-10 Vdc outputs. This device offers selectable current ranges of 0 to 150 Amps and 0 to 300 Amps, powered by a 12 to 30 Vdc power supply. It ensures safety and reliability with an isolation of up to 3000V between input and output.
The QI-300-V-485 accurately measures AC True RMS and DC currents with bipolar directionality. It can display key metrics such as Maximum Current Value, Minimum Current Value, and Amps Used on its registers. The RMS current values are available as a signed 16-bit integer, a 32-bit floating-point number, and a swapped 32-bit floating-point number. Additionally, Amp-hours Min/Max values can be reset.
The transformer is user-configurable with DIP switches or free software available on our website, allowing adjustments to Baud rate, address, measuring range, and AC/DC settings. It supports easy installation on DIN rail or with screws.
This QI-300-V-485 is particularly valuable for solar panel applications and battery charging networks because of its bipolar current measurement capability.

DIP Switch Settings

To use the EEPROM settings with the software and a PC, set the DIP switches to off. Otherwise, use the DIP settings to suit your applications. The EEPROM settings offer more options, such as setting the address from 1 to 250 and adjusting the Baud rate up to 115200.
If you want to set up the current maximum range or the bipolar output to 0-10V without using the EEPROM, set the address to 0001.
All changes to the DIP switch settings must be followed by a power reset; otherwise, the changes will not take effect.
