  N60/N30/N20/N10/M30 CT selection and Load MAX current formula
Posted by: admin - 09-03-2025, 11:47 PM - Forum: N10 - No Replies

   
every CT clamp input channel will have two resistance. for example, CT2 channel are R23, R24
   
use the formula let input voltage <700mV

if your CT clamp sensor is 2000:1
Load current=30A,
input voltage = 5.1R*2*30A/2000=153mA (VIPN)

so if input voltage <700mA , use 5.1R resistance on PCB, 2000:1 MAX can detect 137A AC220V load.

if you want support more large current, you can change the  resistance or change CT 2000:1 with other models. Just use by the  formula.

Exclamation KC 868-A16 RS485
Posted by: daudrimu - 09-03-2025, 08:34 AM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (1)

Hello,
I am trying to connect a pressure sensor to my KC868-A16 board using RS485 communication. The sensor works via Modbus RTU, and I want the KC868-A16 to act as the master.
Here are the issues I am facing:

  1. On the web configuration page of KC868, I can see General Protocol and Custom Protocol, but I am not sure which one I should use for the pressure sensor, since it is not listed in the default devices.
  2. I have tested the RS485 line with a USB-RS485 adapter and Modbus Poll, and I can see the sensor replying with values (e.g. 500, 0, 500, …). So the sensor is working correctly.
  3. When I try to scan for slave IDs from Python via the KC RS485, I only get timeout errors. TX is active, but RX never receives data.
  4. I have already checked the wiring (A↔A, B↔B, and GND connected), baudrate, parity, stopbits, and slave ID, but still no communication between KC and the pressure sensor.
So my questions are:
  • How should I configure KC868 in the web interface to read registers from the pressure sensor?
  • Do I need to use General Protocol or Custom Protocol?
  • Is there any example of how to set the registers mapping for an external Modbus RTU sensor?
Thanks in advance for your help!

  M30 CTs for Industrial Loads
Posted by: Kryd - 09-01-2025, 03:25 PM - Forum: KC868-M16 / M1 / MB / M30 - Replies (3)

Greetings,
We recently bought a kincony M30 unit and would like to measure industrial power three phase consumptions. We have 4 breakers rated 630A, 630A, 340A and 320A. Is it possible to use 2000/1 current transformers for this measurement? if not, can we use a higher transformation ratio like 3000/1, 4000/1 or 5000/1 and adjust in software to keep the secondary current low?

I've read in others threads that 2000/1 CTs are okay but that the M30 limit is 50ma of secondary current or 1V.

Any workaround to make this measurement possible?

Thanks!

  I2C and UART on GPIO
Posted by: swiercz - 09-01-2025, 03:03 PM - Forum: T16M - Replies (1)

Hello,

While T16M board doesn't explicitly have I2C and UART connectors as per the product description,  I was wondering if using GPIOs can be a way to have I2C and UART interfaces.
The documentation says GPIO ports exposed on screw terminals (GPIO8, GPIO9, GPIO10, GPIO15, GPIO16, GPIO17, GPIO18) have pull-up resistors and can be used for 1wire sensors.

My questions are:
1. What is the pull-up resistor value? 4.7k?
2. Is there ESD protection diode for these pins?
3. Can these GPIOs be used for I2C and UART? (typically: GPIO8 and GPIO9 for I2C, GPIO16 and GPIO17 for UART)

  No output DO1-DO16
Posted by: jeftevag - 08-31-2025, 04:10 PM - Forum: KC868-A16S - Replies (2)

When D1 input is pulled low, the input symbol i the web interface turns green, but the D1 output does not respond. The input push-switches does not do anything. In IFTTT i have: IF DI1  single click, THEN DO 1 ON. When i click RUN, it works fine, but not when i pull DI1 input low og push the DI1 switch. I run firmware version KCS_KC868_E16P_V2.2.14
