The Meter as Modbus Master
Your meter can act as a Modbus Master using the Modbus RTU and Modbus/TCP
protocols.
The ION meter acting as Modbus Master can write data to (export), and read data
from (import) Modbus Slave devices, using various ION modules. The data can be
processed by the meter and sent out using other communications methods (email,
ION software, etc.). The meter can also send control commands or data directly to
other devices on a Modbus network.
The Factory Modbus Master Configuration
There is no pre-configured framework for Modbus mastering on your meter. Your
meter’s template contains Modbus Import modules that can read values and
Modbus Export modules that can write data but they must be enabled and
configured in a framework first.
See the Modbus and ION Technology technical for more information on Modbus
Master configuration for your meter.
