AutoCAD drawings

We have several Omnimeter v4 meters that we are deploying. We need to do mechanical drawings of our entire systems and it would be really helpful if you have AutoCAD drawings (EWG or DXF) of your devices that we could just import. Do you have drawings you could post or share?

Re: RS485 for Relay Outputs

Yep, I figured out the CRC (I determined it was the modbus polynomial of 0xa001). In C# it looks like this: private static byte[] AppendCRC(IEnumerable<byte> data) { var message = data.ToArray(); // skip the first byte var offset = 1; var length = message.Length - 1; var seed = 0xffff; byte high = 0...

Re: RS485 for Relay Outputs

RS485 for Relay Outputs

The documentation on the exact commands to send over RS485 to set the relay states isn't 100% clear to me. This is my understanding so far is that it generally looks like this, but the data in the set parts I don't understand. I'm able to read data just fine. Send Full Meter Request (Master) Receive...
