Customizing the Modbus Master Front Panel Display

You can create custom front panel displays for your Modbus master device. Use Designer software to add a new Display module to your meter’s Display framework. Refer to the online ION Programmer’s Reference, and the technical note Custom Front Panel Displays.

Controlling the Data Logging Capabilities

There are two Data Recording Modules included in each Sub Meter folder that log several important parameters from each meter. A folder within the framework called Data Recording Control contains a Periodic Timer Module (named 15 Minute Timer), and an External Boolean Module (named Modbus Log). The Periodic Timer will trigger the Data Recorders every 15 minutes. The External Boolean is used to turn data logging on or off and must be controlled using the Vista application. Data logging is OFF by default.

2.Open the File menu and select the Open option.

3.Give your new diagram a descriptive name (e.g. Modbus Master Control) and click OK.

4.Open the Options menu and verify that the Show Toolbox option is checked.

5.Click and drag a Control Object from the toolbox onto the Vista diagram.
