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 5000 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 class 5000 meters using a single IP address. Each

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

SEE SECTION 10 FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON CHANGING ID AND IP ADDRESSES.
