T-Mod Protocol Converter

Overview & Applications

The T-Mod conversion module is engineered to interface Itron SL7000 electricity meters via their RS-485 serial user port directly to a Modbus industrial network (RTU or TCP). Depending on the hardware version selected, it enables data reading from 1 or 2 meters.

Meter communication complies strictly with standard IEC 62056-21 (formerly IEC 1107) at 19,200 baud. The module queries the meter and mirrors OBIS registers into standard Modbus registers without altering metrological data.

Providing transparent integration with SCADA, PLC, and building management systems, T-Mod delivers real-time access to active and reactive energy registers, load profiles, and status flags.

Key Strengths

Standardized IEC 62056-21 Protocol

Dedicated interrogation of Itron SL7000 meters via RS-485 serial communication.

Modbus RTU & Modbus TCP Output

Translates meter data directly to Modbus RTU (over RS-485) and Modbus TCP (over Ethernet port 502).

ASCII Frame Handling

Reads OBIS identifiers, data fields, timestamps, and checksums at fixed 19,200 baud rate.

32/64-Bit Register Formatting

Maps energy and demand indices according to standard Modbus 32-bit or 64-bit specifications.

Compact DIN-Rail Enclosure

Double-module polycarbonate DIN housing powered by 9–32 V DC auxiliary supply.
