6.13 Ethernet Communications

Ethernet/IP communications connections are provided through an RJ-45

connector(J8) in the lower right corner of the main power board. This port can be

connected directly to a network port of a PC using a Cat. 5e crossover cable.

Two LEDs are provided directly above the connector. The LINK LED is yellow and

when lit, indicates ethernet connectivity. The ACT led is green and when lit, indicates

communication activity.

The communication protocol for the Ethernet port is selected when ordering the meter.

The available choices are EZ7, Modbus TCP/IP and BACnet IP. See the ordering

information for the available choices in combination with the RS-485 output.

Class 3400 Ethernet/IP Addressable meters can be tied into a local Ethernet network

individually. Multiple RS-485 meters to Ethernet requires optional “EKME” device.

Each device that is connected directly to the ethernet network requires a unique IP

address.
