Configuring Communications

 

 

Sites, Groups, and Meters

You can create a network of items within ION Setup so that the next time you want to upgrade a meter’s firmware or make any configuration changes, the meter is easy to find and your communication setup is ready.

Sites refers to a communication method. For example, you need separate sites for Ethernet, Serial or Modem types of communication. A site can have many connected devices. You can also have one meter that is connected to two or more sites provided that the meter has the capability.

A group is an optional feature that lets you define a logical grouping of meters. For example, you can have a group of meters for power quality monitoring, or you can have a group of meters defined by location. Groups are always attached to the System icon. Devices within each group are attached to both the group and a communications site (sites are connected to the workstation).

You can add a meter to a communication site or a group. When you add a meter to a group, it is automatically attached to the appropriate communication site. However, when you delete a meter from a group, the meter remains attached to the communication site.

Adding a Site, Group or Meter

1.Close any open windows to return to the Network Viewer screen. Do one of the following:

From the toolbar, click the Insert An Item button, or

From the Insert menu, choose Item, or

Right-click anywhere on the screen to display the shortcut menu, and then click Insert Item.

The New Network Item dialog box appears (see illustration in step 2).

2.Click the item (Group, Site or Meter) that you want to add. In the Attach To: box, select where you want to attach the item.
