Configuration 2 port Ethernet of LINK 150

[Anonymous user]

Hi all,

I want a configure 2 port Ethernet of Link 150 same image below.

It mean, I have two LINK 150 and one PC.

I will connect (Cable Ethernet) from port Eth1 of LINK 150_A  to port Eth2 of LINK 150_B

After, I will connect (Cable Ethernet) from port Eth1 of LINK 150_B to port Ethernet of PC.

Can i do it? Yes or No and If no, why not?

Thanks very much

Hi DICEA,

But, case LINK 150_A include 5 PM5350 ( Connect modbus RS485)

         LINK 150_B include 5 PM5350 (Conncect Modbus RS485)

So, also with a connect above, LINK 150_A will transaction total 10 PM 5350 to PC?

Thanks DICEA

Your ModbusTCPIP Client software will be able to see the meters grouped under 2 x IP addresses.

You will not see 10 meters under 1 IP, that of Link 150_B (192.168.1.20). You will see only those 5 meters that are connected over RS485 to this meter.

You will not see 10 meters under 1 IP, that of Link 150_A (192.168.1.30). You will see only those 5 meters that are connected over RS485 to this meter.

1 x Link 150 = 1 x ModbusTCPIP Server = 5 x PM5350

Ethernet Ports on Link 150_B (192.168.1.20) will act as a simple Ethernet switch and will pass over the ModbusTCPIP frames to your PC (ModbusTCPIP Client).

HI DICEA,

It mean i can use 5 PM 5350 for once LINK 150.

Image below. Can I read value of PM5350 ID: 4. on PME software?

Thanks very much

[Adrian_Dicea]

Yes. That should work.

In fact, because you will access the ID=1 and ID=2 under different IP than ID=3 and ID=4, you can even have the same IDs: ID=1 and ID=2 for the meters under the second IP, as for the meters under the first IP.

Link 150 (EGX150) dosen't support Daisy chanin on the Ethernet ports.this will not work

The architecture in the picture should work right

Hi Mahmoud,

If you have troubles with such configuration, please raise a support ticket.

As far as I know (and tested in my lab) this configuration works without issues.

Ta Cong​ have you implemented that configuration? Was it working for you?

Thank you for feedback.

Regards,

Adrian
