1. Introduction to Ethernet

Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox and then further developed by DEC and Intel.
This networking technology uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CDSM/CD) protocol and provides transmission speeds up to 100Mbps.

Ethernet is a not a network but more of a standard. It is the most current communication

standard Local Area Network(LAN). This standard de󳆂nes the type of cable that is used and

the method of Signal Processing.

2. Functional Description of the Ethernet module

The L-WEB module supports the Modbus-TCP protocol. When connected to the Acuvim L
series meter, it is a slave device that can only respond to queries. The default value for the

Modbus Port is 502, however the user de󳆂ned range is 2000~5999.

This module supports the SMTP protocol, which allows the user to send emails based on

a speci󳆂c time interval or when a triggered event occurs. It can send mail from encrypted
servers and servers that use di󳆁erent SMTP ports.

The L-WEB module supports the HTTPS protocol, it is used as an HTTPS server where the
default value of the protocol port is 443. Using the HTTPS protocol, the L-WEB can send post
requests to both HTTP and HTTPS servers.

The following are all the protocols supported by the L-WEB module:

• Modbus TCP

• SNMP

• DNP 3.0

• SMTP, SNTP

• HTTP/HTTPs

• FTP

• sFTP

•

BACnet

4. Installation Method

The L-WEB module is linked to the Acuvim L series meter by a communication plug. Oth­er extended modules such as the IO modules can be linked to the Acuvim L series meter
through the L-WEB module.

1. Remove cover from the back of the Acuvim L series meter which will expose the sock­et.

2. Insert the installation clips to the grooves in the Acuvim L series meter and then press
the L-WEB module lightly to establish a linking between meter and module.

3. Tighten the installation screws.

NOTE: Installation with power to the meter is forbidden.

NOTE: If using extended I/O modules with L-WEB module, ensure that the L-WEB module is

attached to the meter 󳆂rst followed by the I/O modules. If the L-WEB module is not con­nected 󳆂rst it will not be able to communicate with the Acuvim L meter.

Chapter 5: De󳆂nition of RJ45

5. Denition of RJ45

The L-WEB uses a standard RJ45 connector to access the Ethernet network. The mechan­ical and electrical characteristics of the connector are consistent with the requirements

of IEC 603-7.

6. Initializing the Ethernet module

The default settings in the Acuvim L series meter are as followed:

DHCP: Manual
IP Address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Primary DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS Server: 8.8.4.4
Modbus Port: 502
HTTP Port: 80

This information can be found by using the buttons from the meter display. The following is

how to con󳆂gure the Ethernet module settings from the display:

• Press the 'H' and 'V/A' buttons simultaneously on the Acuvim L series. Release the

buttons and the meter will enter the meter selecting mode, as indicated by the 󳆃ashing

'Meter' cursor.

The L-WEB can be connected to a computer using a crossover cable(standard 568A). The
L-WEB module supports Modbus-TCP and HTTPS Functions for this method of connection.

To connect meter directly to the computer, the following can be done using a computer
running the Windows OS:

• Manually connect the meter via Ethernet cable to the computer

• Right click on the connection icon

• Select "Open Network and Internet Settings"

following IP address” and enter in an IP number so that meter and computer are in the
same local network range. For example, if the meter has IP address of 192.168.1.254, then
the computer must be assigned with a IP 192.168.1.xxx, where xxx can be any number but
cannot be the same as the value the meter has.

• Once you have entered in the IP address, press the Tab key on your keyboard
to automatically populate the sub mask setting for the computer.

• Before selecting the OK button make note of the IP address you have as­signed to the meter and then press OK.

NOTE: The meters DHCP setting must be set to Manual in order to connect to
the meters web interface using a direct meter to computer connection.

8.2 Direct Connect to Router/Switch

The AXM-WEB-PUSH can be connected to a router or switch using a patch

cable. The DHCP can be con󳆂gured to Auto to have the router assign the meter
with an IP address or the DHCP can be con󳆂gured to Manual to set an IP

address using the information in Chapter 5.

9. Description of Modbus-TCP Protocol

The Modbus-TCP protocol is used as one of the communication protocols in the L-WEB. The
protocol establishes a master and slave connection in Ethernet. The master device (client)

󳆂rst sets up a TCP-IP link with slave device (server). The master device then sends a request

to the slave device and the slave device in return sends a response to the master device. The

󳆂gure below shows how the Modbus-TCP protocol works.

9.1.3 Function Field

The function code 󳆂eld of a message frame contains eight bits. Valid codes are in the range
of 1-255. When a message is sent from a client to a server device, the function code 󳆂eld

tells the server what kinds of action to perform.

9.1.4 Data Field

The data 󳆂eld is constructed using sets of two hexadecimal digits, in the range of 00 to FF.
The data 󳆂eld of messages sent from a master to slave contains additional information
which the slave must use to take the action de󳆂ned by the function code. This can include

information such as the register addresses, the quantity of registers to query and the count
of the actual number of data bytes. For example, if the master requests a slave to read a

group of holding registers(function code 03), the data 󳆂eld speci󳆂es the starting register

and how many registers are to be read.

If the master needs to write data(function code 10 hexadecimal) to a group of registers

in the slave, the data 󳆂eld speci󳆂es the starting register, how many registers to write, the
count of data bytes to follow in the data 󳆂eld and the data to be written into the registers.

Click on the 'Metering' tab to visit the metering data web pages. There are 8 kinds of meter­ing parameter web pages. They are 'Basic Metering", "Power & Energy", "Min/Max", 'THD',
'Harmonics', "Phase Angles", "Sequence", and "I/O" . Each web page shows data from the

Acuvim L series meter.

Basic Metering:

The Basic Metering web page includes the data of real-time parameters for the Acuvim L
series meter. This includes the Line Voltages, Phase Voltages, Current, Neutral Current, Ac­tive, Reactive and Apparent Power, Power Factor, Frequency, Load type and Wiring status.

The parameters on this page are updated every 5 seconds.

The values displayed in this web page will depend on the wiring con󳆂guration mode of
the meter. For example, if the meter is con󳆂gured as '3LL' then the metering web page will

display '0.00' for the Phase Voltages/Powers.

The L-WEB supports the SMTP protocol where users can setup the email function to enable the

meter to send emails based on a speci󳆂c time interval or whenever there is an alarm or SOE
event or a combination of both. The Email con󳆂guration page can be accessed by clicking on

regarding their SMTP server, which can be provided by users' IT personnel.

There are three modes available for sending emails that the user can enable.

The 󳆂rst mode is 'Triggered Sending' where emails are sent immediately when there is a new
alarm, SOE, or waveform event.

The second mode is 'Timed Sending' where users can receive emails at a certain period of
