Page 5: Features
IED. • The Multinet-FE is specifically designed for use with the PQMII and other GE serial Modbus IEDs and deployed for use in an Electrical utility or Substation as part of a Large Scale Fixed Installation (LSFI). -
Page 6: Description
MultiNet is environmentally hardened to withstand severe utility and industrial conditions. MultiNet can be used to connect an existing Modbus RTU network over RS485 onto a LAN in order to support multiple SCADA masters or advanced HMI systems. Additionally, the use of MultiNet greatly facilitates the setup and wiring of any serial device to a communications center since it avoids costly RS485 cable runs. -
Page 7: Rs485 Serial Port
PLC, protection relay or any serial Modbus IED is possible. Connect the “+”, “–“ and common terminal of MultiNet to the “+”, “–“ and common terminals of all the IEDs. Correct polarity must also be observed. For instance, the IEDs must be connected with all RS485 “+”... -
Page 8: 10Base-F Fiber Optic Port
Fiber is immune to electrical interference and provides complete isolation. Optical fibers may be connected to the MultiNet supporting a wavelength of 820 nm in multimode. Optical fiber is only available with the MultiNet-FE option (see the Order Code for details). -
Page 9: Input Power Terminals
Input Power Terminals The input power terminals are located on the left side of the green terminal block. MultiNet may be connected to either 90 to 265 V AC at 50/60 Hz or 90 to 300 V DC supply power. -
Page 10: Mounting
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Mounting MultiNet is DIN rail mountable and ships with two DIN rail clips attached on the rear of the unit. The DIN rail clips can attach the unit onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Place the top hooks of the clip against the DIN rail and apply a downward force until an audible click is heard. -
Page 11: Getting Started With Enervista To Setup Multinet
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Getting Started With EnerVista to Setup Multinet The MultiNet setup software is provided to edit settings and configure the unit. The setup software connects to the unit through either the 10BaseT (RJ45*) port or the 10BaseF (fiber) port. - Page 12 Run the installation program and follow the on-screen instructions. vii Once the installation is complete, click on “IED Setup” on the left panel of the screen. You will see a Multinet icon on the IED screen. Double click on it to launch the MulitNet setup application.

Page 14: Configuration
Before starting, verify that the Ethernet network cable is properly connected to the Ethernet port on MultiNet. To connect MultiNet directly to the Ethernet port of a PC or laptop, use a crossover cable; to connect MultiNet directly to an Ethernet network, use a regular pass-through RJ-45 cable. - Page 15 Under network settings, enter the IP address, Subnet and Gateway of the MultiNet network interface. If these values are not known, consult your network administrator. Under port settings, enter the Baud Rate and Parity bit for the MultiNet serial interface.

Page 16: Example: Connecting Multinet To A Pqm
INSTRUCTION MANUAL EXAMPLE: Connecting MultiNet to a PQM The following steps detail how to use MultiNet in order to connect a PQM to an Ethernet network. Wire COM1 on the back of the PQM to the RS485 terminals on MultiNet. The wiring is detailed in Figure 2: Typical Configuration. - Page 17 11. Select the Plug & Play > Create Schema menu item to open the Plug and Play Device dialog box. Ensure that “PQM” is selected within the drop down selection. Click Create to automatically create plug and play screens for the PQM. MULTINET SERIAL TO ETHERNET CONVERTER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
- Page 18 12. When finished, the plug and play menu will appear, showing our PQM labeled as Quick Connect. Click the Dashboard button below the PQM icon to view the device information. We have now successfully accessed our PQM through MultiNet. FIGURE –7: Plug and Play Menu Showing Attached PQM.

Page 19: Example: Configuring A Laptop To Communicate To Multinet Over Crossover Cable
192.168.1.2 has been assigned to the MultiNet, use that address as the gateway for the laptop. Similarly, set the IP address of the laptop to the gateway IP of the MultiNet. For example, set the laptop IP address to “192.168.1.1” if the gateway IP of the MultiNet is “192.168.1.1”. - Page 20 CONFIGURATION section. For this example use the IP address of 192.168.1.2, subnet of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.1.1. Once the configuration of the MultiNet device is complete, return the laptop to its previous settings using the recorded values from step 5. If the MultiNet device was configured properly, communications may be tested on the connected network using EnerVista, as shown in the first example.
