6.5 Modbus Settings
Modbus RTU Settings
Device Address: In a Modbus network, each device must be assigned a unique
slave address. Valid Modbus addresses are 1-240 (the VerifEye
®
48 channel
meter requires 15 addresses beyond Element A). The slave address of the power
meter sets the register address for Element A. Adjacent elements B, C, and D are
accessed by incrementing the slave address by one. The slave address of the
VerifEye
®
meter must be set to match the address expected by the RTU and is part
of the network specication. The default address for Element A is 1.
Modbus TCP Settings
Modbus Port: The VerifEye
®
meter uses the industry standard Port 502 for
Modbus, but even though you can change this port number, leave it set to 502,
unless it generates a conict in the host system. If you must change the port
number , change it from the Power Meter Viewer Utilities software interface.
6.6 BACnet Settings
BACnet Device ID: In a BACnet network, each device must be assigned a unique
Device ID that is common to BACnet MS/TP and BACnet IP protocols. Besides the
standard ability to change this from a BACnet explorer tool, you can change it from
the Power Meter Viewer Utilities software, VerifEye
®
Web App, or LCD.
BACnet MSTP
Device Address: VerifEye
®
meters are Master devices and must use MS/TP
addresses in the range from 0-127. These addresses must be unique on the network.
Max Masters: The default setting is 127 and does not need to be changed.
Max Info Frame: The default setting is 1 and does not need to be changed.
BACnet IP
BACnet Port: The BACnet default port is 47808 and does not need to be changed.
BBMD: The BACnet/IP Broadcast Management Device is set to 0.0.0.0 by default,
but can be changed through a software tool to allow discovery across networks.
