# Modbus Saia Burgess Controls Binding

This binding interfaces the energy meter series ALD1 by Saia Burgess Controls (SBC) via Modbus.

# Supported Things

The following Things are supported:

ald1Unidirectional: 1-phase 32A one-way energy meter ALD1D5FD00A3A00
ald1Bidirectional: 1-phase 32A two-way energy meter ALD1B5FD00A3A00

# Discovery

This binding does not support discovery.

# Thing Configuration

The following configuration parameter applys to ald1Unidirectional and ald1Bidirectional.

Name	Description	Type	Required
pollInterval	Time between polling the data in ms	Integer	yes

The Thing needs a Modbus serial slave Bridge to operate.

One of the following serial settings need to be configured in the Bridge:

9600 baud, 2 stop bit, no parity
9600 baud, 1 stop bit, even parity
9600 baud, 1 stop bit, odd parity

# Channels

The following Channels apply to ald1Unidirectional and ald1Bidirectional if not stated otherwise.

Name	Type	Description
total_energy	Number:Energy	Energy Total
partial_energy	Number:Energy	Energy Counter Resettable (only unidirectional meter)
feeding_back_energy	Number:Energy	Energy Feeding Back (only bidirectional meter)
voltage	Number:ElectricPotential	Effective Voltage
current	Number:ElectricCurrent	Effective Current
active_power	Number:Power	Effective Active Power (negative numbers mean feeding back)
reactive_power	Number:Power	Effective Reactive Power (negative numbers mean feeding back)
power_factor	Number:Dimensionless	Power Factor
