When connecting cables, ensure that the
RS485+
and
RS485-
ports on the power meter
respectively connect to the
COM+
and
COM–
ports on the SmartLogger.
After connecting cables to the power meter that supports Modbus-RTU, log in to the embedded
WebUI and set parameters for Modbus Meter. For details, see
Devices connected to a same COM port of the SmartLogger must support the same protocol. After
connecting cables, log in to the embedded WebUI and modify the COM port protocol. For details,

4.8 Connecting a Box-type Transformer
Context
The SmartLogger can be connected to a box-type transformer over the RS485 and Ethernet
communication modes.
The SmartLogger provides two Ethernet electrical ports. A box-type transformer that supports Ethernet
communication can be connected to the SmartLogger through an Ethernet electrical port, and then to an
NMS through the northbound interface of the SmartLogger. In this connection mode, the IP addresses of
the SmartLogger and the box-type transformer must be in the same network segment.
This section describes how to connect a box-type transformer that supports the standard
Modbus-RTU or standard IEC103 protocol to the SmartLogger using the RS485
communication mode.
Devices from different vendors may support different protocol specifications. To obtain
information from the connected box-type transformer, correctly configure the protocol
specifications on the WebUI of the SmartLogger based on the protocol specifications
delivered by the vendor.
For the definition of the RS485 communications cable for the box-type transformer, see the
delivered operation guide.
The SmartLogger provides six RS485 communications ports. For the port descriptions, see
