The PM5500 and PM8000 series meters have two Ethernet ports on the same body which allow users to cascade meters in a single network with less wire and communication equipment such as hubs or switches.

Ethernet Communications

Cause

The user may require information on limiting factors when cascading devices via Ethernet.

Each meter has a unique IP address, so depending on the network supporting the devices, the number could be extremely large. It is similar to asking how many computers can be on a network. In essence, the network is the limiting factor. Therefore there is no number of devices that can be definite.
