5.4Ethernet PC, HUB, or LAN connections

This section provides information on how to connect the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter for communication using Ethernet directly to a PC, to a PC via an Ethernet hub, or to a LAN via an Ethernet hub.

5.4.1Direct connection from a Mark III to a PC

When connecting a Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter directly to a personal computer (PC), an Ethernet adapter cable (Daniel P/N 3-3400-079) is required.

Plug the Mark III Ethernet adapter cable Phoenix end into the meter Field Connection Board connector J8 and connect the RJ-45 end into the PC Ethernet connector.

Using Daniel MeterLink on the PC, either modify an existing meter directory record for the meter (such as from initial communication set-up) or create a new meter directory record for the meter. Modify the record’s Ethernet parameters to the user-configured values.

5.4.2Connect a Mark III to a PC via an Ethernet hub

When connecting a Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter to a PC via an Ethernet hub, refer to the wiring diagram (see Appendix I, drawing DE-21056) for instructions on wiring the Daniel Mark III Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter Ethernet connector to one of the Ethernet hub ports.

Plug one end of a straight-through patch cable into another of the hub ports and the other end into the PC Ethernet connector.

The Ethernet adapter cable (Daniel P/N 3-3400-079) is specifically for connecting the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter to a PC Ethernet connector. It cannot be used to connect the meter to an Ethernet hub.

Do not connect either the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter or the PC to the hub UPLINK port. Also, most hubs do not allow use of the port immediately next to the hub UPLINK port when the UPLINK port is used to connect the hub to a LAN.

Using Daniel MeterLink on the PC connected to a LAN, either modify an existing meter directory record for the meter (such as from initial communication set-up) or create a new meter directory record for the meter. Modify the record’s Ethernet parameters to the user-configured values.
