Chapter 3 Energy Data Collector Configuration

As soon as power is applied to the PC Receiver unit, the PC Receiver unit chooses the serial mode, RS-232 or RS-485,
according to the DB9 wiring. This mode remains until the PC Receiver is power cycled (just removing the DB9 connector
does not change the serial mode).

RS-485 mode is available on the PC Receiver unit with the date code 10267 or later with firmware revision (or later) 1.5.15
(100 and 200 node) or 1.7.5.15 (10 node). Upgrade of an older PC Receiver (before date code 10267) is not possible, as it
is a different hardware revision.

RS-485 mode sets the device Modbus address to 247. The address cannot be changed. Only point-to-point communication
is supported.

Refer to the PowerMonitor Wireless 250 Monitor User Manual, publication

1425-UM001

, for more information on

installing and commissioning your wireless network.

Configure a PowerMonitor 500 Device

This section shows you how to configure parameters of a PowerMonitor 500 device by using its front panel display. Certain
settings are needed for the power monitor to meter accurately, communicate correctly, and work with FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix software properly. You set the communication parameters, system type, PT and CT ratios, demand values,
and the date and time. Your application may require additional configuration.

Configure with the Display

The PowerMonitor 500 unit provides menu-based configuration (programming) using its front panel display. The
programming menus let you select parameters to edit, select digits within parameters, and increase or decrease the value of
each digit.

During the Programming mode, the instrument provides
this information.

1.

Indicates Programming mode.

2.

Identifies the programming menu number.

Refer to the programming flow chart.

3.

Indicates parameter currently being edited.

4.

Cursor identifies the digit currently being edited.

5.

Allowable range of selected parameter.

Use the Up and Down arrow (7) to increase and decrease the
digit indicated by the cursor (4). To set another digit, move
the cursor to the desired digit by using Escape (6). Each
button press shifts the cursor (4) one digit to the left.
