Setting up a network site

You can communicate with the EM3570 series meters using the Modbus TCP/IP protocol or through an Ethernet to RS-485 gateway. A gateway device, such as an EGX or ION7650, must be configured first to provide Ethernet communications access. The gateway uses the Modbus TCP/IP protocol to communicate on its Ethernet port.
Before using the ION Setup, ensure that all devices in the system are wired correctly and communications for the devices have been properly configured.
  1. Start the ION Setup in Network mode.
  2. Right-click the System icon and select Insert Item.
  3. Select Site and then click OK.
    The New Site dialog appears.
  4. Enter a descriptive name for the site in the Name dialog. Then, choose Ethernet and select the Gateway box.
  5. Enter the Gateway IP Address details, then choose 502 from the drop down list for the Gateway IP Port and then click OK.
