Communications

This section describes the meter communications media types and communications applications. The diagram below shows the 9300 Series meter communication ports with a brief description of how each port is used.

COM 3:

Optical serial connection

All 9300 Series meters provide COM 3, an optical (infrared) port. The optical port (located on the front of the meter) is used for serial communications, and supports these protocols: ION, Modbus RTU, or DNP (9330

/9350). The port can also be used for energy pulsing.

NOTE

The Profibus meter option for the 9300 uses special COM connections.

The meter’s internal modem communicates to the server computer over the telephone network.

MDM

COM 1:

RS-485 serial connection or ModemGate

All 9300 Series meters provide COM 1: an RS-485 serial communications port that supports these protocols: ION, Modbus RTU, or DNP (9330 / 9350).

9330 and 9350 meters with an internal modem can use the ModemGate protocol on COM 1, allowing the meter’s internal modem to communicate with the meter, the WinPM.Net server computer, and any devices that are wired to the meter’s COM 1 port.

Ethernet connection

All 9300 Series meters support the optional Ethernet card. An Ethernet connection supports ION, Modbus RTU, or Modbus/TCP protocols.

COM 2:

RS-485 serial connection or EtherGate

The 9330 or 9350 meter provides COM 2. If your meter has an Ethernet card, then COM 2 functions as an Ethernet gateway (EtherGate) — EtherGate transfers data directly between an Ethernet network and any devices that are wired to the meter’s COM 2 port. If there is no Ethernet card, then COM 2 functions as a serial communications RS-485 port, and supports ION, Modbus RTU, or DNP protocols.

The 9300 Series meter has numerous communication possibilities depending on your ordering preferences. However, not all communications options are available to each model. The standard meter has two or three serial communication ports: an RS-485 port on COM 1, another RS-485 port on COM 2, and an Infrared port on COM 3. Optional ports can include an internal modem, a 10 Base-T Ethernet communication port, or a Profibus port. The table outlines the communication (COM) ports for each 9300 Series meter. Information regarding Profibus — available only on the 9300 meter - can be found in its sections.
