2. Quick Start Guide for the Meter
2.9. Programming the Meter via the Optional Communications Expansion Card
The Optional Communications Expansion (CE) card (see Figure 5 below) provides LAN/
WAN Web Ethernet communication via either Fiber (CE1) or UTP/STP Cat5 cable (CE2).
It also provides communication via Modbus RTU (CE3 & CE4 - see Appendix A of the
manual for Modbus instructions).
Note:
The CE card is generally installed by the factory at time of manufacture. If the card
is installed as an after sale option, follow instructions for physical installation that accom-
pany the card or refer to the User and Installation Manual (IM02601004E). To set up the
card, follow these steps:
A. The PXMCE ships with CE2 enabled for DHCP. Once connected to the Lo-
cal Area Network supporting DHCP, an IP will be assigned (this may require
a power cycle to the PXM4/6/8K). Once energized, the PXMCE CE1/CE2
port LED “DH” will be illuminated. The assigned IP address for PXMCE
CE1/CE2 can be determined either through an attached display (PXM468K-
DISP-12 or legacy PXD-MMG) or by using the CM1 “Local Configuration”
web server interface.
B. If the PXM4/6/8k was ordered without the PXMCE and is now being in-
stalled, follow the instructions that accompany the PXMCE or refer to Power
Xpert PXM 4000/6000/8000 User and Installation Manual IM02601004E.
C. The PXMCE CE1/CE2 Ethernet settings can be modified by accessing the
PXM4/6/8k CM1 “Local Configuration” web server interface. This will be
required if DHCP will not be used.
D. Power cycle the PXM4/6/8k to initiate DHCP.
