I'm using Modscan to check the data from my Integra 1630 Energy meter. 
Often, i will only receive a register value of 0x00 while occasionally a 
good reply. I tried changing the scan rate from 100ms to 5s but nothing 
changes. The wire connected from my RS485 to the energy meter is less 
than 50m.
Anyone has any idea why this is happening and is there any adjustment i 
can do to make the slave send back good reply instead of 0x00?

Here are some readings of the replied data from my Modscan

Found the solution.
There are no terminal resistor between the twisted pair.
After adding a 120ohms resistor between it, i got good reading.

 In my product I am using 8bit micro controller, which is collect the 
data from field in every 5ms once . already we have  implement modbus 
communication  to my module via RS 485 communication.
