a MINT II, or a CONI card in a
personal computer. Note: MP-3000 and IQ 1000 II application
may require a mounting bracket.
The Ethernet PONIs attach a device
directly to an Ethernet network.
An Ethernet network is often applied
as the high-speed backbone network
for larger facilities.
The RS-485 PONI is also applied in a
daisy-chained configuration. However,
the RS-485 PONI communicates the
Modbus RTU protocol via an RS-485
network. The RS-485 PONI is a slave
device connected to an RS-485 Mod-
bus master. By using Modbus function
codes, the RS-485 PONI can pass host
product commands/data directly to
the attached host product.
PONIs enable continuous remote
communications of all metering
parameters, protective settings and
device status to a remote monitoring
device. Each PONI uniquely identifies
its associated device on the network
with a unique three-digit hex address,
IP address in the case of the Ethernet
PONI, or a Modbus address with the
RS-485 PONI. BPONIs, IPONIs and RS-
485 PONIs include a terminal block for
terminating the twisted shielded pair
network cables. The Ethernet PONI has
an RS-232 port for configuration and
firmware upgrades along with an RJ45
Ethernet port.
