Connecting a Communication Cable

There are various ways to communicate with an MD-BMS or MD-BMED meter; and

your choice will determine what type of cabling system to use. To set up the meter,

communication can be established with a USB cable, an RS-485 adapter, or an

Ethernet cable (MD-BMED only). Once in the field, communication between an MD-

BMS or MD-BMED meter and a logger is established with an RS-485 or an Ethernet

connection. An RS-485 connection is limited in speed, while an Ethernet connection is

much faster.

MD-BMS and MD-BMED meters are ordered from Siemens based on the type of

desired communication connection.

Connecting and Communicating using a USB

Connection

The preferred method of communicating with the MD series power meters is through a

computer to USB connection on the power meter. A type "AB" USB cable may be used

between a personal computer and an MD Series Power Meter, and is the preferred

method for setting up an MD Series Power Meter with BACnet (default) or Modbus

protocols. The USB cable will also power the meter when connected to a personal

computer. When using a USB cable with a personal computer, each USB port on the

computer generates a unique Comm port in the ViewPoint software, such as Com3 or

Com4.

NOTE:

A USB driver is installed when you install the ViewPoint software.
