units may connect to the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server using serial multidrop
(RS-485) or Ethernet communications (using a serial to Ethernet gateway).
 Wireless PowerMonitor W250
Connects to an Allen-Bradley PowerMonitor W250. FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix uses
an integral Modbus RTU master driver to communicate with this class of device. The
device must be installed in a properly configured wireless mesh communications
network with routers, as necessary, and using a wireless PC Receiver connected with
the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server using serial or Ethernet communications.
 PowerMonitor 3000 (model) on (comm. type)
Connects to an Allen-Bradley 1404 PowerMonitor 3000. The following are supported:
PowerMonitor 3000 (model) on (comm. type)
Connects to an Allen-Bradley 1404 PowerMonitor 3000. The following are supported:
 Models
 M4 and M5 - basic power and energy metering
 M6 - basic power quality metering
 M8 - advanced power quality metering
 Communications types
 ControlNet
 DeviceNet
 Ethernet - the older Ethernet protocol, also known as CSP or PCCC, used with
the Series A Ethernet PowerMonitor 3000.
 EtherNet/IP - also known as CIP, used with the Series A Ethernet
PowerMonitor 3000. Uses DeviceNet addressing.
 Remote I/O - Must have a parent device such as a PLC-5, SLC 500 or
ControlLogix controller.
 Serial - Allen-Bradley DF1 half-duplex master/slave
OPC Server on Ethernet
Connects to the RSLinx Classic OPC server or a 3rd party OPC server such as
Kepware. OPC devices and meters allow FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix to communicate
with a wide variety of Rockwell Automation and third-party devices using OPC.
Connection to third party OPC servers such as Kepware require installation of the
FTEMOPC 3rd party communications option. The OPC Browser may be used for
setting up Devices, Meters and Meter tags.
If the PowerMonitor 500 is configured for data logging via EtherNet/IP, and the
configuration is uploaded or downloaded then EtherNet/IP communication may be
disrupted for a minute or so, while the configuration activity is executing.
Serial communications will not provide adequate performance in most cases. Please contact
Rockwell Automation technical support for more information.
