9340 and 9360 Devices in WinPM.Net
9340 and 9360 Devices in WinPM.Net
The following sections provide information on using 9340 and 9360 devices with
WinPM.Net.
Configuring Devices to Communicate with WinPM.Net
Before you add a 9340 and 9360 device in WinPM.Net, you need to configure the
device using ION Setup.
The following table outlines parameters that need to be set in a particular way for
the device to communicate with WinPM.Net when the device is on a serial
communications loop:
Device Parameter
Required Setting
Unit ID1
Between 1 and 247
Protocol
Modbus RTU
Parity
None2
1
Each address (Unit ID) must be unique for each device on a serial communications loop.
2
This is the suggested setting for an WinPM.Net system. If you set the parity to a setting other than
None, ensure that all devices on the serial communications loop are set to the same parity.
NOTE
If you are using a 9340 and 9360 device with the optional 9340-60-ETHER card, you need to adjust the
Unit ID in Management Console to match the Unit ID of comm port 1 of the device.
Configure other settings as required for your system.
See the ION Setup Device Configuration Guide for more information on configuring
this device using ION Setup.
NOTE
Trying to communicate to the device with the same communications port at the same time using two
software programs (for example, configuration software and WinPM.Net) can cause communication
problems. To discontinue communication between WinPM.Net and the device, right-click the device in
Management Console and select Disconnect. To restart communication between WinPM.Net and the
device, right-click the device in Management Console and select Connect.

Using 9340 and 9360 Devices with WinPM.Net
ACCESS-Compatible Device Support in WinPM.Net 4.0
Using 9340 and 9360 Devices with WinPM.Net
After you have configured the device, use Management Console to add the device
to your WinPM.Net network. See the online WinPM.Net Help for more information.
The following sections outline considerations when using the device with
WinPM.Net.
Time Synchronization
For the 9340 and 9360 devices, time sync requests are sent every hour. You
cannot manually send time synchronization signals to these devices from
WinPM.Net. For information on enabling or disabling time synchronization, contact
Technical Support.
Viewing Historical Data using Web Reporter
The following default reports are available to generate reports on historical data
using Web Reporter:

Power Quality

Load Profile

Energy Cost
Other reports can be used with the 9340 and 9360 devices but may require further
device configuration to be useful.
NOTE
For 9340 and 9360 devices that support power quality features (such as voltage sag/swell detection on
the 9360), disturbance monitoring needs to be set up before you can create Power Quality reports using
Web Reporter.
Setting Up 9340 and 9360 Data Logs for Load Profile and Energy Cost
Reports
The 9340 and 9360 devices by default do not log all the measurements required to
generate Load Profile and Energy Cost reports using Web Reporter. To generate
these reports, you must first use ION Setup to configure the meter to log these
measurements.
Use ION Setup to configure the onboard data logs as follows:

Add “Reactive Energy Into the Load” and “Real Energy Into the Load” to the
Billing Log.

Add the log containing basic values into the Log Files for Data Log #1. Make
sure the following settings are set as noted:

Page 4 of 5

Ensure Enable is selected.

Ensure the Logging Interval Mode is set to Continuous.
Configure other settings as required for your purposes.

WinPM.Net Priority Numbers for 9340 and 9360 Events
9340 and 9360 device events are mapped to WinPM.Net event log priority
numbers in the following way:

Upgrading Device Firmware
Use DLF3000 to upgrade device firmware.
CAUTION
Disable communication from WinPM.Net to the device before attempting to upgrade your device
firmware. You could seriously damage your device if you try to upgrade while WinPM.Net is trying to
communicate with the device. To discontinue communication between WinPM.Net and the device,
right-click on the device in Management Console and select Disconnect. To enable communication after
the upgrade is complete, right-click on the device in Management Console and select Connect.
