INV / CHG), the system automatically generates a protocol
structure with commonly used commands. This is suitable for
quickly creating standard protocol files for company products.
Blank Template:
Creates a protocol structure without any predefined commands.
Users must define all command content manually. Suitable for
customized devices or non-standard communication protocols.
Set up Basic Information Settings. This step is used to define
the fundamental attributes of the protocol, including its name
and .communication type

Preliminary
Protocol Name
Enter a name that clearly identifies the device or its purpose.
Including the product model or communication purpose is
recommended for easier management and identification.
Note: The name cannot contain the "/" character.
Protocol Type
Select the communication interface used by the protocol.
Currently supported:
CAN (CAN bus)
MOD (Modbus)
PM (PMBus)
Step 2: Protocol Command Configuration
This step is used to create or select the commands included in the
protocol.
The workflow varies depending on the selected creation method.
Quick Template Mode (Meanwell Product Selection)
The system loads a predefined command list based on the
selected product type. Users can use Product Type to quickly
locate command categories and select the required commands
(such as CHG(charger)/PSU(power supply unit), Bi-
PSU(Bidirectional power supply, INV(inverter), etc.)
This mode significantly reduces manual configuration time and is
suitable for standard products or existing models.
5

certain required commands.
These commands cannot be removed. Their purpose is to ensure full
compatibility with supported products.
Even if they are not directly displayed in the UI, it is recommended to
keep them.
Priority
A lower value indicates higher priority. Recommended guidelines:
Real-time event commands (e.g., FAULT): priority can be set
as high as 1.
Measurement commands (e.g., voltage, current, power):
priority can be set as low as 3.
Other commands should be assigned higher values to reduce bus
bandwidth usage

Step 4: Event and Data Logging Settings
This step is used to configure data logging and event monitoring
behavior on the Configure Events page.
Data Logging
When enabled, the system periodically reads data at a fixed
polling interval and stores it in the database.
Suitable for long-term trend analysis (e.g., voltage, current,
power).
Event Capture
When enabled, the system monitors status changes in real time
and triggers events when conditions are met.
Event Mode
Log when value exceeds threshold
Log when value falls below threshold
Log when Bit decoding is non-zero (applicable to BitField
types)
