protocol (Protocol) with serial number 10153802 (Serial). It has total 4 words data length 

(Register) and 1

st

  data is 8 digit BCD type (Value) from Modbus address 0x0000  ~  0x0001 

(Register) and 2

nd

 data is also 8 digit BCD type (Value) from Modbus address 0x0002 ~ 0x0003 

(Register). The GW-7838-M  will update the meter data as fast as per 60 second one time 

(Cycle).   

 

 

 

 

Note: If GW-7838-M updates all meters data faster than setting cycle time 60 second, the 

all meters data will be update every 60 second. But if slower than 60 seconds, GW-7838-M 

will update all meters data as soon as possible.
