Issue
A customer needs to connect one PM5500 meter to two different sites using two different protocols.
Product Line
PM5560, PM5563
Environment
Communications, commissioning.
Resolution
Bacnet and Modbus are different protocols. Bacnet is a broadcasting protocol, where devices are constantly listening to the master and when it's their turn (token) they respond to the master. MODBUS is a request/reply protocol and offers services specified by function codes. MODBUS function codes are elements of MODBUS request/reply Protocol Data Unit.
The PM5500 meter is capable of communicating to both sites at the same time without any issue.
Released for: Schneider Electric Egypt and North East Africa
