Typical Meter Setup Parameters
Some setup parameter groups are common and available to all meter types (such
as Basic Setup, for configuring PT and CT ratios and other system parameters).
Other setup parameter groups are available only on meter types that support
certain features (such as Waveform Capture). Refer to your meter documentation
for information on how to set up the features supported by your meter. For
information on how to use ION Setup to configure devices that are not based upon
the ION protocol, refer to the ION Setup Device Configuration Guide.
Modbus protocol considerations
Serial communications (Modbus RTU): To avoid communications problems,
make sure all devices on the serial communications bus are set to the same data
format.
8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit) is the default serial communications port setting for most ION
meters.
Ethernet communications (Modbus TCP): For meters that use Modbus TCP to
communicate through Ethernet, enter “502” in the IP Port box when adding the
meter in ION Setup (port 502 is used for Modbus TCP communications).
