WinPM.Net also offers two ways to remotely view information through a web
browser: WebReach and Microsoft Terminal Services.
WebReach only requires an URL to display a meter’s real-time data and select
views of historical and waveform data from a web browser; there is no client
machine configuration. WebReach is a data display application; there is no
control functionality available through it.
Microsoft Terminal Services enable full WinPM.Net functionality, including
control features. Some client machine configuration is required.

ION Setup™ Software

ION Setup is a meter configuration tool designed specifically to configure and test
meters. ION Setup offers an intuitive graphical interface for performing basic
meter setup, installing templates into meters, viewing real-time and reset
accumulated values, verifying meter calibration and measurements, and setting
up advanced security.
Communications Protocols
The 9300 Series meter can be integrated into various industry-standard
networks. Data that is measured by the unit can be made available to other devices
using ACCESS, Modbus, and DNP V3.00 (9330 and 9350) protocols. The 9300
meter also has the option available to communicate using the Profibus protocol.
You can also configure the meter to import data from devices on these networks.
With these advanced communications functions, the power of the meter can be
utilized in most existing power monitoring systems. Any data display and analysis
software that works with Modbus or DNP devices will also function with the 9300
Series meter.
The standard meter has one infrared port and one or two RS-485 communications
ports (the 9300 has one, the 9330 and 9350 have two). These ports are capable of
data rates up to 19,200 bps. The infrared port on the front panel is compatible with
an ANSI C12.13 Type II magnetic optical communications coupler. It can be used
to communicate real-time measurements via ACCESS, Modbus, or DNP protocols.
The RS-485 and infrared ports can communicate simultaneously. Ordering options
can include a 10Base-T Ethernet port, a 33.6 kbps internal modem, and a Profibus
port, depending on the model type of your 9300 Series meter.
Digital and Analog I/O Options
The 9300 Series meter offers a variety of analog and digital I/O combinations. I/O
connections to the meter are made via captured-wire terminals on the meter. The
analog I/O option can be specified for any 9300 Series meter, allowing you to
monitor a wide range of conditions, such as flow rates, device cycles (RPM), fuel
levels, oil pressures and transformer temperatures. You can output energy pulses
to an RTU or perform equipment control operations.
