We are excited to announce the launch of our new firmware for some of our Advanced Metering offers.
Firmware version V4.0.0 is now available on se.com for the ION9000, ION7400, and PM8000.
Our latest release continues our efforts to secure our devices by introducing Secure ION. This will now allow for encrypted communication between the device and our software offers over the ION protocol. Standard ION protocol support remains available for those with legacy software systems. Furthermore, we have added support for increased passwords lengths, moving from 6 alphanumeric characters maximum to now 16 alphanumeric characters. Note that you will need to update your respective software to support these new features.
Secure ION, will be immediately supported by ION Setup in it’s latest version. Shortly we will be adding support for Secure ION in Power Monitoring Expert (PME) with PME Cumulative Update 2022 and in the future with Power Operations as part of the Q1/Q2 – 2023 Release.
It is highly recommended that you upgrade your meter firmware to the latest version of firmware to benefit from increased robustness in your product.

Hello @Rajakumar_K ,
A lot will depend on what you mean by "Compatible". Will PME collect onboard logs? yes*. Will PME be able to show real time values? Yes **. Will Designer have latest framework file? No.
*Assumes meter has been configured with advanced security, this security is default since V3.x.x.
** May not show the latest version of diagrams or Vista pages. May default to a generic diagram

Charles

Hi, regarding Secure ION... Do we know how this might apply to an ION meter acting as a Modbus Gateway (Modgate) to downstream connected serial meters? Could the Gateway configured in PME (which would be the meter) be configured for Secure Connection on Port 802, while simultaneously being configured for Secure ION Connection on port 7443 to the Meter Device itself? Thanks.

Hello @Nicholas_Brown ,
Meters currently do not support Secure Modbus, this includes Modbus Gateway (ModGate).

Could the release update for ION9000 include details similar to the PN8000 update in version 4.0?
