Communications Setup

 

 

Communications Setup

Communication settings are typically configured when the ACCESS meter is initially put into service. Each communications port on a meter is controlled by a single Communications module. The modules’ setup registers define the parameters used for each port, so parameters do vary according to the type of communications channel selected (i.e. RS-232, RS-485, Modem, Infrared, Ethernet).

Module Name

Settings

 

 

Comm 1

COM1 RS-485 port and internal modem 1

Comm 2 2

COM2 RS-485 port or EtherGate 3 port

Infrared Comm

COM3 Optical port

 

 

Ethernet Comm

10Base-T Ethernet port

 

 

Profibus Comm 4

Profibus Communications port

1For 9330 / 9350 meters with an optional modem, COM1 is hardwired for ModemGate.

2COM2 is not available for the 9300 meter.

3For 9330 / 9350 meters with an optional Ethernet card, COM2 is hardwired for EtherGate.

4Available for the 9300 meter.

A communications channel must be configured before you can use ACCESS software (i.e. Vista or Designer). Altering the settings of the channel that is in use causes a loss of communications with the meter. Refer to the online ION Programmer’s Reference for complete details on all the Communications module setup registers.
