GREEN CLASS NET METER

6.7 RS-485 Wiring

RS-485 communication allows a computer or modem to communicate with one or

more Green Class Net meters. You can connect as many as 52 meters along a 4000-

foot RS-485 cable run.

There are four communication protocols available through the Green Class Net RS-

485 connection. They are EZ7, Modbus RTU, BACnet MS/TP, and Lonworks FT-10.

The protocol is chosen when ordering the Green Class Net meter. A second protocol is

available through the Ethernet port. The Ethernet protocol is also chosen when the

meter is ordered. See ordering information for the available choices.

Daisy-Chain Method

This is the simplest method for connecting meters together.

Fig. 9. Daisy-Chain Configuration.

1. Connect the +(high) terminal of PORT 1 of each meter together so that the + ter-

minals on all meters are linked, + to + to +...

2. Connect the -(low) terminal of PORT 1 of each meter together so that the - termi-

nals on all meters are linked, - to - to -...

3. Connect the GND terminals of PORT 1 of each meter so that the GND terminals

on all meters are linked, GND to GND to GND.
