LED Color Function

L1 Red Pulses once for every 1.8 Wh of energy measured
Blinks slowly to indicate CPU operation. It blinks rapidly to indicate communications through one of its

serial ports1
Remains on while an Ethernet carrier is present; if this LED is off, the Ethernet connection cannot be
Ethernet LINK Yellow2 established
Ethernet ACTIVITY Yellow2 Blinks to indicate Ethernet traffic
Profibus DE Yellow Indicates communications between the Profibus Master and the meter have been established
Profibus PWR Red Shows that the meter is powered

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 DNP 3.0 and ION Technology, and
Modbus and ION Technology before proceeding.
MostModbusandDNPmodulesonthemeterarefactorypresetandonlyrequire
basicconfiguration,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
ION7330 / ION7350 DNP 3.0 Device Profile.

Modbus RTU is available on each of the meters communications ports, and multiple ports can
communicate using Modbus simultaneously. Only a single port can use the DNP 3.00 protocol at any
