Description
This message displays when you have navigated to the extreme left of the Trending Display Graph where the plotted data starts. When you have navigated to the extreme right of the Trending Display Graph where the plotted data ends, this message appears. This displays when a logged data value is not within the minimum or maximum range. You can view the out of range values on the Data Log screen. This never displays if you use the default Trending Display screens. This message will display if the default Trending Display framework has been modified so that a minimum value is larger than a maximum value. It also displays when a Display module configured for Trending has not been linked to a Data Recorder module, so there are no values to plot. This message displays whenever an invalid log value is recorded. In addition, trend graphs cannot be viewed.

Communications Overview
Communications Overview
Thefollowingillustrationshowsallthepossiblecommunicationsconnectionsto themeter.
COM 4: Optical port serial connection COM 4 provides an ANSI Type 2 Optical port (located on the front of the meter) that is used for serial communications, and supports these protocols: ION, Factory, Modbus RTU, or DNP 3.00 Ethernet port This connection provides optional 10Base-T or 10Base-FL Ethernet communications. The meters internal modem communicates to the server computer over the telephone network.
COM1: RS-232 or RS-485 serial connection COM1 is actually two ports: RS-232 for direct connections, and RS-485 for serial connections. Both ports support these protocols: ION, Factory, EtherGate, GPS, ModemGate, Modbus RTU, Modbus Master or DNP 3.00. Note that you cannot use the RS-232 and RS-485 ports on COM1 simultaneously.
COM 2: RS-485 serial connection COM 3: Internal modem COM 3 provides an optional internal modem. COM 2 provides an RS-485 serial port that supports ION, GPS, EtherGate, ModemGate, Modbus RTU, DNP 3.00, Modbus Master, and Factory protocols.

NOTE
Changing the default factory third-party protocol frameworks (or creating new frameworks to enable receive functionality) is an advanced procedure. Refer to the DNP modules and Modbus modules descriptions in the ION Reference, as well as the technical notes Multiport DNP 3.0 and ION Technology, and Modbus and ION Technology before proceeding.
MostModbusandDNPslavemodulesonthemeterarefactorypresetandonly requirebasicconfiguration,suchascommunicationssetup.
NOTE
Changing these modules from their factory configuration is an advanced setup procedure that requires an understanding of the protocol, as well as an understanding of the meters internal operation. For more information on your meter and these protocols see the Common Modbus Registers document and the ION 7550 / ION 7650 DNP 3.0 Device Profile.

Pulse Width OutputMode Polarity
Function
This register specifies the width of the output pulses (in seconds). This register defines whether the output is a complete pulse or a transition pulse (KYZ). This register specifies the polarity of a pulse output. It has no effect if OutputMode is KYZ. This register specifies which hardware port the output appears on. Only those hardware channels that are still available appear in this list.

Setup Register
Pulse Width
Function
This register specifies the width of the pulses sent to the hardware channel (in seconds). The Calibration Pulser module maintains a minimum duty cycle of 50% on the output pulse train. The numeric bounded register defines how much energy the module accumulates before a pulse is sent to the hardware channel. An industry standard for energy pulsing is 1.8, or one pulse per 1.8 energy-hours. Specifies the modes of integration that may be selected. This register specifies whether the output is a complete pulse (Pulse) or a change of state transition (KYZ). This register specifies which hardware port the pulse/KYZ transition appears on. Only those hardware channels that are still available appear in this list.

Function
These setup registers define the dates for each active season. When a season is active, the Time of Use module will use the applicable rate schedules. These setup registers specify seasonal weekday rates. These setup registers specify seasonal weekend rates. These setup registers specify a season's daily rates during the days specified in the Alt 1 Days setup register. These setup registers specify a season's daily rates during the days specified in the Alt 2 Days setup register. These setup registers specify a season's daily rates during the days specified in the Holidays setup register. This register defines the days of the week for all seasons. The rates in the Season (1, 2, 3, or 4) Weekday Rates setup registers are used on these days. This register defines the weekend days for all seasons. The rates in the Season (1, 2, 3, or 4) Weekend Rates setup registers are used on these days.

Function
This register defines a set of alternative dates for all seasons. These dates generally have different rates from weekdays, weekends, or holidays. This register is similar in function to Alt 1 Days, but contains a different set of dates. This register defines the holidays for all seasons. The rates defined in the Season (1, 2, 3, or 4) Holiday Rates setup registers are used on these days. This setup register defines the dates and times that the Self Read output register will pulse. If no time is entered in this register, the Self Read output register will pulse on the date specified at 12:00 AM.

Function
This is the magnitude above which a voltage deviation is considered a swell. This is the magnitude below which a voltage deviation is considered a sag. This is the amount a voltage signal must change during a disturbance to be considered a new sub-disturbance. This is the nominal power system voltage (used for all Power Quality functions). The priority assigned to Sag/Swell and Transient module events (0 to 255, 255 is highest).

When active, this annunciates when the total kW SWDemand exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates when the current on phase A exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates when the current on phase B exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates when the current on phase C exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates if the voltage unbalance exceeds a specified percentage. When active, this annunciates when I 4 exceeds a specified amount. When active, this annunciates when I 5 exceeds a specified amount.
NOTE
There is usually no need to change any of the Relative Setpoint modules setup registers for normal operation of the meter.
