Self-configured energy meter (*special support terms apply)
When your energy meter has configurable modbus addresses (or when your energy meter is not in the list of supported devices) , we supply a feature to configure an energy meter yourself. It's a process that allows you to set up the energy meter as a modbus slave, enabling it to communicate with the SmartgridOne Controller.
Attenzione
WARNING: Special support terms apply: *Please note that this feature is provided “as-is” and should be used at your own risk. If you run into any issues or need dedicated assistance, we’re happy to help under a support contract. Contact for pricing and availability.
Step 1
Connect the meter to the SmartgridOne Controller using RS485 or Modbus TCP.
- For Modbus-TCP ethernet: Please follow . For correct ethernet wiring:
- For RS485: Please follow
Also, check your meter's manual for the correct wiring and connection details and check if any settings need to be changed to enable the modbus communication.
Step 2
Collect the following information from your energy meter:
- Modbus address: The address of the energy meter on the RS485 bus.
- Baud rate: The communication speed of the energy meter (e.g., 9600, 19200, etc.).
- Parity: The parity setting of the energy meter (e.g., None, Even, Odd).
- Register information: For each measurement you want to read, you'll need:
- Register address (in decimal)
- Data type (e.g., int16, uint32, float32)
