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.

Green Class Net 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 Green Class Net meters using a single IP

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

unique IP address.
