Ethernet communications
-
FTPS and HTTPS are available only in latest firmware versions for the following meter models:
-
PM5560 / PM5562 / PM5562MC / PM5563 / PM5580 meter models: 4.0.0 or later
-
PM5570 / PM5660 / PM5760 meter models: 6.0.0 or later
-
PM5650 meter model: 4.10.0 or later
-
PM5561 meter model: 12.0.0 or later
-
PM5661 / PM5761 meter models: 14.0.0 or later
-
-
IPv6 support is available only in PM5560 / PM5563 / PM5580 meter models with firmware version 4.5.0 or later.
The meter supports Modbus TCP, BACnet/IP, EtherNet/IP, HTTP / HTTPS, SNTP, SNMP, SMTP, FTP / FTPS, DNP3 protocols and can communicate at data speeds up to 100 Mbps through its Ethernet communications port.
The meter supports a single IP address between two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports. The second Ethernet port functions as an Ethernet switch, which allows you to have shorter Ethernet cable runs between the meters without requiring additional Ethernet routers or repeaters. This helps simplify network connections and reduce installation time and costs.
The meter supports a maximum of 128 concurrent TCP/IP connections, that are shared between HTTP / HTTPS, FTP / FTPS, Modbus TCP and other TCP/IP protocols.
The meter supports a maximum of three concurrent connections (sessions) using the DNP3 protocol.
The meter supports dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 networking, allowing both IP versions to work at the same time. Network hosts can communicate with the meter using either IPv4 or IPv6, based on their configuration and network environment.
