Importing Data using DNP 3.0

Data can be imported into the 9700 Power Meter from a DNP control relay or
analog output device. DNP Slave Import modules are used to take a DNP
Analog output or Binary output object and map them into registers.
Using the EtherGate Protocol
The EtherGate protocol can be used on one or more of the XPRESS CARD’s
RS-485 ports, in place of SEAbus, Modbus RTU or DNP 3.0 protocols. The
EtherGate protocol allows the 9700 Power Meter to act as a gateway,
transferring data directly between Ethernet and RS-485 networks.
There are three ways EtherGate can be used to transfer data between
networks. Using the IP Address of the 9700 Power Meter, one of three IP
Service Port numbers (sockets) can be used to direct the flow of data as
follows:
♦ If the IP Service Port is set to 7800, Ethernet data is transferred to both
XPRESS CARD RS-485 ports.
♦ If the IP Service Port is set to 7802, Ethernet data is transferred to the
XPRESS CARD’S COM 2 RS-485 port only.
♦ If the IP Service Port is set to 7803, Ethernet data is transferred to the
XPRESS CARD’S COM 3 RS-485 port only.

Communicating 8LVSYKL the 9700 Power Meter

In the basic EtherGate configuration, your WinPM workstation connects to
the XPRESS CARD’s Ethernet port, and an RS-485 loop of devices connects to
the XPRESS CARD’s COM2 or COM3 RS-485 port (or both, if you have two RS-
485 loops). In this configuration you communicate with the RS-485 loop

through

the 9700 Power Meter (the 9700 Power Meter acts as the gateway).
Using the Internal Modem
This section describes the operation of the 9700 Power Meter internal
modem. This section only applies if you have ordered the –MDM (or –
MDMC) option.
Before installing or using your 9700 Power Meter, make sure that you are
familiar with the FCC and Industry Canada warnings located at start of this
manual, as well as the

Installation and Basic Setup Instructions

included
with the device.
