Communications Overview
Thefollowingillustrationshowsallthepossiblecommunicationsconnectionsto themeter.
COM3 (front of meter) Optical serial connection All ION7300 series meters provide COM3, an optical (infrared) port. The optical port is used for serial communications, and supports these protocols: ION, Modbus RTU, or DNP (ION7330 / ION7350). The port can also be used for energy pulsing.
NOTE
The Profibus meter option for the ION7300 uses special communications connections.
Modem port (side) The meters internal modem communicates to the server computer over the telephone network.
Ethernet port (side) All ION7300 series meters support the optional Ethernet card. An Ethernet connection supports ION, Modbus RTU, or Modbus/TCP protocols.
COM1 (back of meter) RS-485 serial connection or ModemGate All ION7300 series meters provide COM1, an RS485 serial communications port that supports these protocols: ION, Modbus RTU, or DNP (ION7330 / ION7350). ION7330 and ION7350 meters with an internal modem can use the ModemGate protocol on COM1, allowing the meters internal modem to communicate with the meter, the ION Enterprise server computer, and any devices that are wired to the meters COM1 port.
COM2 (back of meter) RS-485 serial connection or EtherGate The ION7330 or ION7350 meter provides COM2. If your meter has an Ethernet card, then COM2 functions as an Ethernet gateway (EtherGate) EtherGate transfers data directly between an Ethernet network and any devices that are wired to the meters COM2 port. If there is no Ethernet card, then COM2 functions as a serial communications RS-485 port, and supports ION, Modbus RTU, or DNP protocols.

NOTE
The internal modem option is hardwired to COM1. If you are using ModemGate, then any meter with an internal modem that will reside on the serial loop must connect to the serial loop using COM2. If COM1 is used, then the two modems (gated meter internal modem and serially looped meter internal modem) conflict during communication.

ModemGate is available on ION7330 and ION7350 meters with an internal modem. The factory set Unit ID for COM1 is based on the serial number of the meter, using the last four numbers before the dash. For example, if the serial number is PA-0009B263-01, the Unit ID is set in the factory to 9263. After a factory reset, the unit ID number will default to 100. EtherGate is available on ION7330 and ION7350 meters with Ethernet.

NOTE
Changing the default factory third-party protocol frameworks (or creating new frameworks to enable receive functionality) is an advanced procedure. Refer to the DNP modules and Modbus modules descriptions in the ION Reference, as well as the technical notes DNP 3.0 and ION Technology, and Modbus and ION Technology before proceeding.
MostModbusandDNPmodulesonthemeterarefactorypresetandonlyrequire basicconfiguration,suchascommunicationssetup.
NOTE
Changing these modules from their factory configuration is an advanced setup procedure that requires an understanding of the protocol, as well as an understanding of the meters internal operation. For more information on your meter and these protocols see the Common Modbus Registers document and the ION7330 / ION7350 DNP 3.0 Device Profile.

Pulse Width OutputMode Polarity
Function
This register specifies the width of the output pulses (in seconds). This register defines whether the output is a complete pulse or a transition pulse (KYZ). This register specifies the polarity of a pulse output. It has no effect if OutputMode is KYZ. This register specifies which hardware port the output appears on. Only those hardware channels that are still available appear in this list.

Pulse Width
Function
This register specifies the width of the pulses sent to the hardware channel (in seconds). The Calibration Pulser module maintains a minimum duty cycle of 50% on the output pulse train. The numeric bounded register defines how much energy the module accumulates before a pulse is sent to the hardware channel. An industry standard for energy pulsing is 1.8, or one pulse per 1.8 energy-hours. Specifies the modes of integration that may be selected. This register specifies whether the output is a complete pulse (Pulse) or a change of state transition (KYZ). This register specifies which hardware port the pulse/KYZ transition appears on. Only those hardware channels that are still available appear in this list.

The ANSI C84.1 1989 standard recommends a temporary overvoltage limit of 106% for Range B voltage levels, and a temporary undervoltage limit of 88% for load voltages and 92% for the service entrance. The primary power system voltage is sometimes different than the PT Primary setup register value; i.e. when the PT Primary is used to indicate winding ratio rather than primary voltage.

This is the magnitude above which a voltage deviation is considered a swell. This is the magnitude below which a voltage deviation is considered a sag. This is the nominal power system voltage (used for all Power Quality functions).

The primary power system voltage is sometimes different than the PT Primary setup register value (i.e. when the PT Primary is used to indicate winding ratio rather than primary voltage).
NOTE
If the Sag/Swell modules Nom Volts setup register is set to zero, all Sag/Swell module functions are disabled. Nom Volts is typically set when the meter is put into service. If Nom Volts has not been set, enter a value for your systems nominal voltage (i.e. 120, 277, or 347).

When active, this annunciates the average current exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates when the total kW SWDemand exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates when the power factor goes below specified amount. When active, this annunciates when the average voltage (line to line) goes below a specified amount.

ThemetersSetpointmodulescontainthefollowingsetupregisters:
Register
Description
When the Eval Mode is GreaterThan, this register specifies what limit the Source input must exceed for the Status output register to change to on. When the Eval Mode is LessThan, it specifies what limit the Source input must exceed for the Status output register to change to off. If the Source input is Boolean, the value entered into this register is disregarded, and the High Limit is automatically set to 0. When the Eval Mode is LessThan, this register specifies what limit the Source input must fall below for the Status output register to change to on. When the Eval Mode is GreaterThan, it specifies what limit the Source input must fall below for the Status output register to change to off. If the Source input is Boolean, the value entered into this register is disregarded, and the Low Limit is automatically set to 1. When the Eval Mode is GreaterThan, this register defines the amount of time in seconds the Source input must exceed the High Limit for the Status output register to change to on. When the Eval Mode is LessThan, this register defines the amount of time the Source input must fall below the Low Limit for the Status output register to change to on. When the Eval Mode is GreaterThan, this register defines the amount of time in seconds the Source input must fall below the Low Limit for the Status output register to change to off. When the Eval Mode is LessThan, this register defines the amount of time the Source input must exceed the High Limit for the Status output register to change to off. Specifies how the value of the Source input is interpreted. When Input Mode is Absolute, the absolute value of the Source input is used in Setpoint calculations, and the high and low limits, if negative, are converted to their absolute values. When Input Mode is SIGNED, the Source input is taken to be a signed value. Specifies the criterion by which the Source input is evaluated. It contains either the value LessThan or GreaterThan This register allows you to assign a priority level to the following events produced by the Setpoint module:
Default Setting
High Limit
Depends on specific module
Low Limit
SusUntlON
0.00
SusUntlOFF
0.00
Input Mode
Depends on specific module
Eval Mode
EvPriority
The Status output register changes to on because the setpoint condition is met. The Status output register changes to off because the setpoint condition is no longer met. The Setpoint module is re-linked, reset or disabled while the Status output register is on. Setup registers are changed while the Status output register is on.
128
The priority level you specify applies to all of the above events.
