Ethernet Communication
Depending upon the style number, each DECS-250N is equipped with a copper (100Base-T) Ethernet
communication port (style xxxxx1x) or a fiber optic (100Base-FX) Ethernet communication port (style
xxxxx2x). The copper or fiber optic Ethernet connector is located on the right side panel. DECS-250N
metering, annunciation, and control is provided through the Ethernet port using the Modbus TCP protocol.
DECS-250N Modbus communication registers are listed and defined in the Modbus Communication
chapter of this manual.
Note
Industrial Ethernet devices designed to comply with IEC 61000-4
series of specifications are recommended.
Ethernet Connection
1. Connect the DECS-250N to the PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. In BESTCOMSPlus, click Communication, New Connection, DECS-250N, or click the Connection
button on the lower menu bar. The DECS-250 Connection window appears. (Figure 143)
3. If you know the IP address of the DECS-250N, click the radio button for the Ethernet Connection
IP at the top of the DECS-250N Connection window, enter the address into the fields and click
the Connect button.
4. If you don’t know the IP address, you can perform a scan (Figure 144) to search for all connected
devices by clicking the Ethernet button in the Device Discovery box. After the scan is complete, a
window containing the connected devices will be displayed. (Figure 145)
