1Introduction
1.1 WaveStar Color Monitor Summary
The WaveStar®Color Monitor is a 7-inch color touchscreen which displays power management
information for up to twenty (20) Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS) devices and other PDI
devices in the Monitor’s downstream Modbus network.
The Color Monitor is incorporated into PDI products, such as PDUs, RPPs, or JCOMM®s, and can
also function as a stand-alone power monitoring station.
Figure 1 shows the Monitor used in a JCOMM®.
Figure 1 WaveStar Color Monitor Installed in a JCOMM
1.2 Power On and Access
The Color Monitor does not have an on/off switch. The Monitor automatically powers-on whenever
power is applied to the unit in which it is installed.
When the unit is powered on for the first time, the Home Screen appears (Figure 2).
The Color Monitor is accessed by touching the screen. If the unit is powered up and is not touched for
15 minutes, the backlight will turn off to save power. The backlight turns back on when the operator
again touches the screen, showing the last displayed screen.

2Color Monitor Networking
2.1 Supported Protocols
All protocols supported by the Color Monitor can be used simultaneously.
Downstream Protocol The downstream device network has fixed parameters of Modbus RTU, 9600
baud, EVEN parity.
Upstream Protocols There are separate upstream ports for Modbus RTU and Ethernet, supporting
these protocols:
•Modbus RTU
•Ethernet port
•TCP/IP, used by the web page server (see Chapter 7, Web Pages)
•Modbus TCP/IP
•SNMP Version 1
2.2 Monitor Network Connections
The Color Monitor’s backpanel has Modbus RTU and Ethernet ports (Figure 4).
For Color Monitors embedded in PDI products (PDUs, RPPs, or JCOMMs), Modbus RTU backpanel
connections are typically made in manufacturing and extended to a terminal block or external panel
for convenient customer access. See 2.5 Customer Modbus RTU Connections.
The customer’s Ethernet cable is connected directly to the Monitor’s Ethernet port.

2.2.1 Modbus RTU Ports
The Color Monitor has four (4) paralleled Modbus ports:
•J1 and J3 are header/plug connections for connecting to most devices.
oJ1 is the upstream port.
oJ3 is the downstream port.
•J2 and J4 accept standard RJ12 phone cable plugs for connection to an M4G PDU
board.
oJ2 is the upstream port.
oJ4 is the downstream port.
The Modbus RTU interface is isolated, and pin designations are given in Table 1:

2.2.2 Modbus RTU 2-Wire vs. 4-Wire Configuration
PDI devices have two (2) jumpers near their Modbus ports for configuring 2-wire vs. 4-wire Modbus
RTU (see Figure 4). The Monitor’s 2-wire configuration jumpers are W1 and W2 (upstream) and W3
and W4 (downstream). Upstream and downstream chains can be differently configured.
For 2-wire configuration:
•At least one device in a device chain must have both jumpers jumped on its Modbus
connection. If any device in the chain has jumpers installed for 2-wire, all of the device
chain is 2-wire. To avoid confusion when troubleshooting, all of the devices in the chain
should be jumped in the same way.
•TX+ or RX+ on the Monitor (either one, because the on-board 2-wire jumpers short them
together) wires to TX+ or RX+ on downstream devices.
•TX- or RX- on the Monitor wires to TX- or RX- on downstream devices.
•The + and - signal wires should comprise of a (twisted) wire pair residing in the same
shield.
For 4-wire configuration:
•All of these jumpers must be removed from every device in the chain.
•TX+ on the Monitor’s PCB or on the customer Building Management System (BMS) wires
to RX+ on a device PCB (see Figure 5).
•TX- from the Monitor or BMS wires to RX- on device PCB (see Figure 5).
•A second pair of wires connects the other pair of TX+ / RX+ & TX- / RX-.
•The TX+ & TX- going to the RX+ & RX- should be in the same shield. Do not run the +'s
in one shield and the -'s in another. Doing so may lead to sporadic communication.

WaveStar Color Monitor_____________________________________________________________
Ctrl Nr: PM375103 Revision: 003 12
•Run a dedicated ground wire with the signal wires and only ground the shield at one end.
2.3 Modbus RTU Cables
2.3.1 Cable Specification
RS485/RS422 cable length can be up to 4000 ft. if you use the proper cable:
•The cable resistance should be ≤ 27 ohms/1000ft @ 1 kHz and the mutual capacitance
should be ≤ 14pf/ft @ 1 kHz.
•4-wire cabling:
oRS422 is typically 4-wire.
oUse a shielded cable with two (2) twisted pairs and a shield/ground wire.
oThe two transmit lines must be in one twisted pair and the two receive lines in the
other twisted pair.
•2-wire cabling:
oRS485 is typically 2-wire and is slower than RS422.
oUse a shielded cable with one (1) twisted pair and a shield/ground wire.
2.3.2 Cable Biasing and Termination
PDI devices have soft biasing (27K pull-up and pull-down resistors) on the + and –transmit and
receive lines. Therefore, if the customer’s Master device allows for control, PDI recommends that the
user turn on biasing and turn off termination, which may “fight” the biasing. Biasing the Master
device’s lines is not critical because the Color Monitor is already biasing the lines. If termination is
needed because of an extremely long cable run, PDI recommends that a small capacitor be put in
series with the terminating resistor.
2.4 Ethernet Cables
The maximum length of Ethernet cable depends upon the customer’s choice of Ethernet cable.
2.5 Customer Modbus RTU Connections
When a Color Monitor is embedded in a PDI product (PDU, RPP, or JCOMM), the customer does not
typically wire Modbus RTU directly to the Monitor. Downstream Modbus RTU links are typically to
internal devices and are wired at the factory. The upstream Modbus RTU link is extended from the
Monitor to a customer connection port, which differs by unit.

2.6 Modbus Addressing
Refer to Figure 10, “Modbus Addressing,” with the following bullet points:
•The Monitor is a Modbus master to its downstream devices. The upstream Modbus
master cannot directly address these devices, but rather addresses them through the
Monitor. Upstream and downstream are separate Modbus segments.
•The Monitor’s upstream address can be set to from 1 to 255, but you must leave enough
addressing capacity for downstream devices. The monitor will not respond to a command
sent to address 0. The address is set in Monitor Setup. See Section 3.2.3 “TCP/IP and
Modbus TCP/IP Setup.”
•The Monitor’s downstream devices must be assigned consecutive addresses starting at
address 1.
•For upstream addressing these device addresses are remapped as successor addresses
to the Monitor. If the Monitor has upstream address 30, the downstream addresses 1, 2,
3, 4 are remapped to 31, 32, 33, 34 as seen from the BMS or other Modbus Master.
•Modbus addressing is the same for Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP.

Downstream Modbus addresses must be

2.7 Communicating with the Monitor: Commands and Replies
2.7.1 Modbus Commands and Replies
Upstream Modbus on the Color Monitor supports three (3) Modbus commands only (with typical flag
and data values shown in hexadecimal) for communicating with the points lists of the Monitor or
devices in its chain:
1) Read Slave ID (command 11)
Sent Hex: 01 11 C0 2C
Reply Hex: 01 11 0D EA FE 52 50 50 20 44 69 73 70 6C 61 79 A3 A6
2) Read Multiple Holding Registers (command 3)
Sent Hex: 01 03 00 00 00 01 84 0A
Reply Hex: 01 03 02 00 00 B8 44
3) Write to a Single Register (command 6)
Sent Hex: 01 06 00 00 00 00 89 CA
Reply Hex: 01 06 00 00 00 00 89 CA
It is important to carefully verify early in system bring-up that the registers you are addressing are the
correct ones. In a points list or Modbus register map, the first analog channel is numbered 1 but is
accessed in software with an index value of 0. Consequently, it is common for a system to be one
register off. Because adjacent registers often have similar readings, being one register off is not
necessarily apparent.
Most analog values are 2-byte integers representing a measured parameter such as input voltage or
current. KWH uses two (2) adjacent 2-byte integers. Some parameters require scaling and are so
noted in the points list.
2.7.2 Limit on Open Sockets
When using Modbus TCP/IP, the Color Monitor can have at most five (5) sockets open at any one
time.
2.7.3 SNMP Commands
Only SNMP version 1 is supported.
The following commands are supported and are typical for the product:
•snmpget
•snmpgetnext
•snmpset
See the MIB file for specifics. The MIB can be downloaded from the PDI website. Reference the
Bibliography in this manual.

3Setup: Monitor and Network
You set configuration parameters and other information for the Color Monitor in three ways:
•The SETUP screen has system parameters, such as banner name, password, and
network addresses.
•Device SETTINGS screens let you set device names, specific device configurations, and
software versions for each BCMS device in the Monitor’s chain. (See Chapter 4, Device
Chain: Settings.)
•The SOFTWARE VERSIONS screen lets you add the model information for the unit
mounting the Color Monitor.
3.1 SETUP: Miscellaneous Parameters
Touch SETUP to display buttons for several configuration items (Figure 11).
A password is required to access and change setup parameters. Enter the password (default is
“PDI”). The user can navigate through any of the screens and come back to SETUP without having to
re-enter the password for 10 minutes. Touch PASSWORD to change to a new password.
Touch buttons in the initial SETUP
screen to link to miscellaneous setup
functions:
PASSWORD: Keyboard appears, enter
password, then type new password.
HORN DISABLED: Toggle Monitor’s
audible alarm to ENABLED/DISABLED.
BANNER: Banner setup (here shown
as “PDI DISPLAY”) is on same screen
as Modbus setup (Figure 7).
TIME & DATE: Set time and date; used
on HOME screen and alarm
timestamps.
CALIBRATE GUI: See next figure.
See 3.2 Network Setup.
CALIBRATE GUI: Color Monitors
are calibrated at the factory and
should not need calibration in the
field. However, if necessary, touch
CALIBRATE GUI and follow on-
screen instructions, as shown at

3.2 Network Setup
Note: Improper configuration of a WaveStar Color Monitor may conflict with other monitors or
devices on the network.
3.2.1 Downstream Modbus Device Chain Setup
To set Modbus device chain parameters, touch DEVICES/MODBUS (Figure 13):
•Number of Devices should equal the number of devices in the Monitor’s device chain.
Up to twenty (20) devices are allowed. The Monitor uses this number to determine how
many devices to search for in its downstream chain.
•When you add new devices, increment this counter, then press “ENTER”. The Monitor
will automatically start a new search and find all of the downstream devices. The devices
will then be listed in the DEVICES Screen, where the added devices will initially show up
as generic device names.
•For each new device the user should then enter a unique device name. Unique device
names are needed to isolate alarms and measurements to specific devices.
3.2.2 Modbus RTU Setup
Downstream Modbus settings cannot be changed.
Upstream Modbus provides network characteristics on the upstream side of the Monitor.
•Address is the address that the upstream Modbus master, such as the Building
Management System (BMS), uses to address the Monitor. The downstream device
addresses are incremented sequentially from this address. So if the Monitor has address
20, the next three devices will appear 21, 22, and 23 to the upstream master device. (See
Figure 9, “Modbus Addressing”.)
Modbus Device Chain:
Banner Name displayed on top line.
Number of Devices should equal

•Upstream Modbus settings for Baud rate and Parity must match those for the upstream
Modbus master.
3.2.3 TCP/IP and Modbus TCP/IP Setup
For TCP/IP, the customer must provide an Ethernet cable connected to the Ethernet port (RJ45
header J11) on the Monitor. (See Figure 4, “Color Monitor Network Connections”.)
