Daniel MeterLink uses the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the Daniel 3410 Series 
Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter electronics instead of Modbus ASCII or RTU. The TCP/IP protocol only 
works across either Ethernet, RS-485 full duplex (4-wire) or RS-232. Daniel MeterLink
 
can 
communicate with multiple meters if they are multi-dropped using 4-wire, full duplex RS-485 
mode. The meter electronics is HART capable and provides communication flexibility with 
Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters.
Note: 
Port B for RS-485 full duplex communication is not supported.
The HART® output provides communication with other field devices (e.g., Field Communicator 
and AMS™ Device Manager software) and ultimately, communicates key diagnostic information 
through PlantWeb® architecture.    
The Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter electronics auto-detects the protocol used 
and automatically switches between TCP/IP, Modbus ASCII, and Modbus RTU so it is not 
necessary to make any meter configuration changes to the protocol.
If not using Ethernet, a full duplex serial connection is necessary for Daniel MeterLink to 
communicate with a Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Meter.
