Can a PM5500 series meter have a Modbus TCP/IP and BACnet IP master connection simultaneously?

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.
