NOTE: Configuring the serial communications settings using this method may cause 
ION Setup to lose communications when the changes are sent to your meter. You must 
reconfigure ION Setup to match the new settings to re-establish communications with 
your meter.

1. Configure the serial communications converter’s settings to be compatible with the 

meter’s default serial communications settings.

2. Connect the meter’s RS-485 port to the serial communications converter.

3. Connect the communications converter to the computer.

4. Start ION Setup in Network mode.

5. Add a serial site and set its properties:

— Comm Link = Serial
— Comm Port = select which serial (or USB) port the communications converter is 

attached to

— Baud rate = 19200
— Format = select a format with even parity

6. Add a meter to the site and set its properties:

— Type = PowerLogic PM5000 series Power Meter
— Unit ID = 1

7. Use the setup screens to modify the meter’s setup parameters.

8. Use the RS-485 Base Comm setup screen to modify the meter’s serial 

communications settings.

9. Click Send to save your changes to the meter. You need to reconfigure ION Setup 

to match the changed settings in order to re-establish communications with your 
meter.

NOTE: If you set the protocol to ASCII 7, ASCII 8 or JBus, you cannot use ION Setup 
to reconnect to the meter — ION Setup does not communicate using these protocols.

10. Exit ION Setup.

NOTE: Configuring the serial communications settings using this method may cause 
ION Setup to lose communications when the changes are sent to your meter. You must 

Protocol

Modbus RTU, JBus, 
ASCII 8, ASCII 7

Select the communications format used to transmit 
data. The protocol must be the same for all devices in a 
communications loop.
ION Setup does not support ASCII 8, ASCII 7 or JBus 
protocols.

Address

1 to 247

Set the address for this device. The address must be 
unique for each device in a communications loop. For 
JBus protocol, set the device ID to 255.
This value is used in both Ethernet and serial 
communications; you may need to update your Ethernet 
settings to re-establish Ethernet communications.

Baud Rate

9600, 19200, 38400

Select the speed for data transmission. The baud rate 
must be the same for all devices in a communications 
loop.

Parity

Even, Odd, None

Select None if the parity bit is not used. The parity 
setting must be the same for all devices in a 
communications loop.
