Configuring GE EGD Production Exchanges
The PM172 provides a GE EGD (Ethernet Global Data) data producer that
supports four data exchanges. Each data exchange is individually
configurable and can produce and send data to the same or to different
consuming nodes. For EGD implementation and configuration details, see
the PM172 GE EGD Communications Protocol Reference Guide.
To enter the Setup dialog, select the device site from the list box on the PAS
toolbar, select Communications Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then
click on the GE EGD Producer Setup tab.
To configure an EGD exchange:
1. Select a desired exchange ID.
2. Specify a destination IP address of the data-consuming
node.
3. Specify the production period for the exchange. The
PM172 exchanges provide production rates from 70 ms to
10 minutes in 10 ms increments. Though lower settings
are allowed, the actual production period in most cases
will not be less than 70 ms.
4. Select “Enabled” in the Exchange Status box to enable
the exchange operations.
5. Define address ranges for the points to be sent via the
exchange and the data element type for each address
range. Up to 30 point ranges can be selected for each
exchange that may identify a single point or a range of
contiguous points.
Specify the data ranges using the range start point and
end point identifiers (ID) in decimal notation. For the
available device data points and their IDs, refer the
