How many meters can be comfortably interfaced to a Com'X

[swil]

Q1a. If using a Com'X210 / Com'X510 as a datalogger with F/W 6.8.4, how many metering devices can be comfortably interfaced to without causing hardware stability issues?

Q1b. Is it typical that an energy monitoring system would have one single Com'X configured to log data from serial meters downstream of all Link150s on the network? 

Q2. Does the Com'X slow down during configuration as each additional meter is added?

Hi,

Check out this document, especially page 36.  It may help answer some of your questions.

Thanks a lot @Randi_Dolan. The page reference provided was viewed and it provides piece of mind. 

I'd be interested to hear from anyone to hear how long it takes per additional meter to configure the com'x, save device, change the local ID to match the slave ID and save again, for instance, when there are 50,75, or 99  metering devices configured. 

From memory it's about 5 minutes per additional meter at about the 50th meter.
