Connecting Powerlogic P3 Protection Relay to the Smartphone & Tablet Application via Wireless Router

Issue:

How to connect a Powerlogic P3 protection relay to the Powerlogic P3 Smartphone & Tablet application using a wireless router.

Product:

PowerLogic / Easergy P3 Protection Relays

Environment:

Communication setup, WLAN connection, Easergy P3 mobile application

Cause:

Incorrect or unmatched IP addressing between the wireless router and the Powerlogic P3 relay, preventing the mobile application from detecting the device.

Resolution:

1. Connect a wireless router to the Powerlogic P3 device.
2. Match the IP address range of the router’s DHCP settings with the IP address assigned to the device under:
   MENU → COMMUNICATION → Protocol Configuration.
3. Once the addressing matches, the Powerlogic P3 Smartphone & Tablet application will locate the relay based on the IP address you enter when initiating the connection.
4. Alternatively, you may enable DHCP on the Powerlogic P3 under the same menu.
   • The router will automatically assign an IP address dynamically.
   • Ensure you also select “Enable IP verification service” to prevent duplicate IP address conflicts.
