Communications Setup
This section describes how to set up communications between PowerLogic devices and ION Enterprise.
Modbus Gateway
Modbus Gateway is a communications topology where a device provides a Modbus communications link between its Ethernet port and its serial port. The device converts Modbus TCP on the Ethernet port to Modbus RTU on the serial port.
Page 4
© 2008 Schneider Electric. All rights reserved.
PowerLogic Device Support in ION Enterprise 5.6 Service Pack 1
Modbus Gateway allows you to use the ION7550 / ION7650 meter as a “Modbus Master”, which provides Modbus RTU communications support for up to 16 Modbus slave devices on the same serial communications loop.
Modbus Gateway communications is supported on the ION7550 and ION7650 meters (firmware v350 or later). The Ethernet port handles the Modbus TCP communications and converts the data to Modbus RTU format for the downstream Modbus devices connected to the ION7550/ION7650’s RS‐485 serial communication port (i.e. “COM1” in the example below).

This type of communications topology is typically used in applications where you have a high‐end meter monitoring the incoming supply at the service entrance, and mid‐range meters monitoring the feeders.
Defining the Modbus Gateway in Management Console
Use the Management Console component of ION Enterprise to define the Modbus Gateway. In the previous illustration, the ION7650 functions both as the metering device for the mains, as well as the Modbus Gateway communications link for the meters connected on the RS‐485 port.
1.
Start Management Console.
2.
Add the ION7650 as an Ethernet Gateway site.
In the TCP/IP Address box, type the ION7650’s IP address In the TCP/IP Port box, select 502 (Modbus TCP Device)

Other Modbus Gateway-Ready Devices
Modbus Gateway functionality is also supported on the ECC21 communications card for the CM4000/CM3000 series devices, the PM8ECC communications card for the PM800 series devices, or any of the EGX series Ethernet Gateway devices. Refer to the appropriate device documentation for details on setting up Ethernet Gateway communications.
Setting Up the PowerLogic Devices
Typical devices that use serial communications in the ION Enterprise network specify the port parameter setting 8N1 (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit). This is the setting you must specify when adding PM series devices, CM series devices and MicroLogic series trip units to the ION Enterprise network. For example, when adding a PM800 series device to the network, change the PM800 communications settings to:
Protocol = Modbus RTU
Parity = None
Refer to the appropriate device documentation for instructions on how to configure the communications settings.

PowerLogic Device Support in ION Enterprise 5.6 Service Pack 1
Device Address Considerations
Make sure the address (Unit ID) is unique for each device on a serial communications loop. For typical Modbus devices, the supported address range is from 1 through 247. For MicroLogic series trip units, the valid address range is from 1 through 47.
A typical MicroLogic trip unit is comprised of up to four different physical components. ION Enterprise automatically assigns and sets three additional Unit IDs for each of these components by adding 50, 100 and 200 to the unit ID you set for the MicroLogic trip unit. For example, if you assign the unit a unit ID of “2”, ION Enterprise sets the unit ID “52”, “102” and “202” to the individual components of the trip unit.
NOTE
If other device types are connected on the same serial communications loop as the Micrologic trip units,
restrict the address range for the other device types to be 148 through 200 in order to prevent unit ID
conflicts.
Using PMCU
Use PMCU to set up your PowerLogic PM800/PM700 series or CM4000/CM3000 series devices. Refer to the PMCU online help for details.
