![]() Note that this mechanism can be used to access an established MG / Adapter / Meters set-up across the Internet. When successful set the rest of the configuration. Run MG / Config, enter the Adapter network IP address, and ‘Test Connections’. ON THE ADAPTER NETWORK, DIRECT TRAFFIC ON PORT 502 TO THE ADAPTER. Parameters can be found at the bottom of this page, under Other Adapters.ĮNSURE THAT PORT 502 (THE DEFAULT MODBUS PORT) IS OPEN BETWEEN THE ADAPTER AND THE METERGRAPHER PC. Wire the Adapter and meters, and configure the Adapter using a PC running the Adapter supplier’s software. If the Adapter to be connected is not on the same network as the MG PC, proceed as follows: This shows that 192.168.1.55 is already on the system, and MUST NOT be used for the new Adapter.ġ92.168.1.57 is not on the system, and can be used. This Address is not on your system, and you can use it for the Adapter. This Address is already on your system, and you must choose another. ![]() (Windows 10): Start Menu / All Apps / Windows System / Command Prompt (Windows 7 / 8): All programs / Accessories / Command Prompt To do this, on the computer that will host MG: However, you must ensure that this does not already exist on your system. It is therefore recommended that adapters are given static IP addresses. If DHCP allocates a different IP to an adapter MG will lose connection until the user changes the MG Config. MeterGrapher must know the IP address of the adapter(s) connected and the user provides this on the MG Config. Depending on the configuration of the DHCP server a different IP address may be allocated. If you wish to connect over different networks, see Connections over Different Networks, below.ĭynamic Host Configuration Protocol ( DHCP) is a client/server protocol that automatically provides an Internet Protocol (IP) host with its IP address and other related configuration information such as the subnet mask and default gateway.ĭHCP provides an IP address on a lease for a specified duration, and when the lease expires a new one is granted. If it’s a simple system: if the PC IP is 192.168.1.116 the adapter may be 192.168.1.55, but see Existing IPs below. The PC running MG has an IP address – this can be seen in the top left of MG’s Config Form (This computer’s IP is: … ) The IP address assigned to the Adapter should be on the same sub-net. IP Addresses are used in communications between devices. If you have an extensive network and an IT guru, call them now! This section includes only the information necessary to set an address in a TCP/IP Adapter connected to MG in a simple system. A how-to video is available showing how to do this. See Adding a New Meter to a Network in the WN Instructions. This is generally straightforward, but updating the ConnectPort X2 IA (Industrial Automation) table requires care. You should see a message as shown in the picture.įrom here on you use the normal MG Configuration and Logging functions – see User Docs When you Run MG config type in the IP address(es) of the adapter(s) and hit Test Connections. (See IP Addresses at the bottom of this page)ĭO NOT USE the BOOTP or Auto-IP protocols ![]() The use of a static IP address is strongly recommended. (Do not connect the Adapter directly to the PC.)ĭigi supply a Device Discovery Utility that will find the Adapter – it can be downloaded using this link:ĭownload the software to a file location of your choice, run it to find the adapter, and select Open Web Interface. The Adapter is connected via Ethernet to a hub or router that is connected to the PC running MeterGrapher. Install the meters in accordance with the WN Instructions ![]() MeterGrapher (MG) requires a modern PC, laptop or notebook with an Ethernet connection to a router that can be connected to the Adapter. This comes pre-configured with the information the adapter requires to communicate with the meters.ĬDI meters according to the user’s specification fitted with wireless modules that link to the X2Ī Wireless Network Data Form showing key details of the System. The system can be easily expanded at any time – See Adding New Meters below.Ī Digi ConnectPort X2 Adapter. The user has specified the quantities, sizes and identifying numbers of the meters required. What is delivered when you order a Wireless system.See Wired Adapters for their details – this section deals with Wireless adapters. Within MeterGrapher wired and wireless adapters can be mixed in any combination. See the Wireless Networking Datasheet for general information. ![]()
