6.13 Ethernet Communications

Ethernet communications connections are available through an optional EKM-E key,

which converts the meter’s RS-485 output to an ethernet connection. The key provides

data only with the EZ-7 protocol and is not designed to support Modbus or BACnet.

NOTE: The meter is not designed to connect directly through an Ethernet connec-

tion, but must utilize an appropriate RS485/Ethernet converter module/

modem.

Class 3200 Ethernet/IP Addressable meters can be tied into a local Ethernet network

individually, or a single Ethernet-connected meter can communicate with multiple RS-

485 daisy-chained conventional (EZ-7) class 3200 meters using a single IP address.

Each device (EKM-E) that is connected directly to the ethernet network requires a

unique IP address. With a public IP address, the system can be addressed with E-Mon

Energy software through the internet for remote reading capabilities.
