2. In the Protocol box, select the same communications protocol
as you have set in your meter.
3. In the Response Timeout box, define the maximum time that
PAS should wait for the meter response before announcing a
failure.
4. In the Break Timeout box, define the maximum line idle time
that PAS should wait after receiving the last message character
before closing a connection with the Modbus RTU or DNP3
protocol. It does not affect ASCII communications. Note that
this time is added to the message transfer time, and excessive
increasing it may slow down communications. If you frequently
receive the “Communication error” message, try to increase
Break Timeout.
5. In the Retries box, define the number of attempts that PAS
should use to receive a response from the meter in the event
the communication fails, before announcing a communication
failure.
Communicating through the Internet
If you are communicating through the Ethernet port, define the IP address
of your meter on the network.
To configure the meter IP address:
1. On the Instrument Setup tab, select
Internet Site.
2. Click on the Connection tab.
3. Click on the IP address and type in the IP address of your
meter. The default IP address preset in the meter at the
factory is 192.168.0.203.
4. In the Protocol box, select the communications protocol for
the TCP port. The meter provides Modbus/TCP connections on
TCP port 502 and DNP3/TCP connections on port 20000. The
host port is set automatically as you select the protocol. Select
Modbus RTU/TCP for Modbus/TCP or DNP3 for DNP3/TCP.
5. In the Wait for answer box, adjust the time that PAS waits
for a connection before announcing an error.
