Chapter 4—Remote meter setup

PowerLogic™ PM5500 series user manual

reconfigure ION Setup to match the new settings to re-establish communications with 
your meter.

1. If applicable, disconnect all serial devices presently connected to the Ethernet 

gateway’s RS-485 port.

2. Configure the Ethernet gateway’s serial port settings to match the meter’s default 

serial communications settings:

— Baud rate = 19200
— Parity = Even

3. Connect the meter’s RS-485 port to the Ethernet gateway.

4. Connect the Ethernet gateway to the LAN.

5. Start ION Setup in Network mode.

6. Add an Ethernet gateway site and set its properties:

— IP address = IP address of the Ethernet gateway
— Port = 502 (for Modbus RTU)

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

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

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.

After the meter’s RS-485 port is configured and connected to the RS-485 network, you 
can use ION Setup to configure all other meter setup parameters.

See “Setting up serial communications” on page 39 for details on using the meter’s 
display panel to configure the RS-485 port.

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; if you change this value, you need to 
update your meter properties in ION Setup 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.
