What’s New in v334

Firmware version 334 (v334) for the ION8800 meter offers Modbus Master over TCP/IP. This allows the ION8800 to read or record data from Modbus slave devices using up to ten available TCP sockets. The Modbus Master over TCP/IP utilizes one specific, dedicated communications connection that is independent of the existing available maximum 4 simultaneous Ethernet connections.

Ethernet Connections for the ION8800

NEW

TCP/IP Modbus Mastering dedicated

TCP port. Connect with up to 10

Modbus slave IP addresses

4 simultaneous connections. Protocols include ION, DNP, Modbus, etc.

SMTP Server (email) outgoing only

NOTE

To support the new features in v334, download the latest version of ION Setup from www.global.powerlogic.com.

Modbus Master over TCP/IP must be configured through ION Setup or ION Enterprise software. See the ION8800 User Guide for instructions.

As a master, the ION8800 can aggregate data from multiple slave devices and then pass it to ION software for analysis. Modbus Master also gives you control of devices on a Modbus network with the meter’s write capability.

There are two communication links to consider when you Modbus Master with the ION8800: the link between the ION software and the ION8800, and the link between the ION8800 and the Modbus network.
