The ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon makes use of DIP Switches for many of its settings. There are 3 banks of DIP Switches on the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon, but on the ProtoCom-Lon the S bank of DIP Switches is disabled, as it is not used. See the figure below.
Recommended Procedure to remove the top cover: Using a flat-sided screw driver or similar tool, gently insert it into the 4 slots in the back of the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon, alternating between slots until the cover is loos- ened enough to be removed. Refer to the diagram below.

3. Unhook the clip from the top of the DIN Rail. 1.9.2: Mounting on a Panel The ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon has mounting holes in its tabs for installation in a panel. Mounting Holes Figure 1.12: Location of Mounting Holes 1. Using a #1 flat-blade screwdriver, unscrew the two screws holding the DIN Rail clip to the back of the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lom (see Figure 1.11) and remove the clip.
1: Introduction to the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon 1.10: Navigating This Manual Chapter 2 explains how to use the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon with EIG meters, including configuration and wiring. Chapter 3 contains information on device communication. Appendix A contains the EIG meters points list for the supported protocols.

Com/ProtoCom-Lon and an EIG meter. 2.1: Step One - Configure Modbus Communication Settings The ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon is designed to connect to either the RS485 Modbus port or the RJ45 Ethernet port of an EIG power meter and to convert the serial or Ethernet communication to the desired protocol.
Page 32
Data Bits Stop Bits 1. Assign a Modbus Address to each of the devices attached to the ProtoCom/Proto- Com-Lon. The Modbus Address needs to be uniquely assigned between 1 and 255. 2. Record the Modbus Address assigned to each device.
Modbus/TCP, Metasys N2, EtherNet/IP, or DF1 (refer to Section 1.6 for an explanation of the DIP switches). Note that the ProtoCom’s default setting enables BACnet, so you don’t need to change this setting unless you want to use another protocol.
Auto‐Discovery Settings Auto‐Discovery ON ‐ Build New Configuration Auto‐Discovery OFF ‐ Save Current Configuration When installing the ProtoCom for the first time, set S3 to the ON position to enable Auto-discovery. The ON position is when the DIP switches are set closest to the inside of the box. NOTE: Some meters, such as PQMII, may not be auto-discoverable. In this case, you need to set them up using the Web Configurator.
ProtoCom. 2.4.1: Set MAC Address - for BACnet MS/TP Protocol Only • Note that only 1 MAC address is set for the ProtoCom, regardless of how many devices are connected to it.
2: Using the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon NOTES: • Refer to Appendix C.1 for the MAC address DIP switch chart. • When using Metasys N2, Modbus/TCP, and DF1 the A Bank of DIP switches are disabled and not used. They should be set to the OFF position.
2.4.3: Device Node-ID for Metasys N2, Modbus/TCP, and DF1 Protocols The Modbus Addresses that you assigned to the devices attached to the ProtoCom in Section 2.1 will be the Metasy N2, Modbus TCP, and DF1 Node_ID's for the field protocols. You don’t need to set up any other identification.
For Ethernet devices being connected to the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon: • Make sure the device’s protocol is set to Modbus TCP/IP. • The device must be on the same IP subnet as the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon and the PC being used to make communication configuration.
Switches is disabled for Metasys N2 on ProtoCom, since they are not needed. • The B bank of DIP switches is disabled for the ProtoCom-Lon. • The default setting of the ProtoCom is 38400. The following table shows the Baud Rate DIP Switch selection. Baud...
For RS485 serial communication, the six pin connector at the bottom of the Proto- Com/ProtoCom-Lon (labeled HOST) is used to connect the ProtoCom to the EIG meter and to the power supply. (See Section 1.5 for detailed information on the ProtoCom/ ProtoCom-Lon’s connections).
Page 41
Figure 2.5: Connecting RS485 between DMMS 425 and ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon For Ethernet communication, use an Ethernet cable to connect from the device’s RJ45 port to the RJ45 port on the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon - see Figure 1.10: ProtoCom/ ProtoCom-Lon Ethernet Port, on page 1-11.
ProtoCom. Refer to Section 1.8 for instructions on removing and replacing the unit’s top cover. The ProtoCom has 510 Ohm resistors that can be used to set the biasing. The default position of the Biasing jumpers is OFF. The OFF position is when the 2 RED biasing jumpers straddle the 4 pins closest to the outside of the board of the ProtoCom.
1.8 for instructions on removing and replacing the unit’s top cover. If the ProtoCom is placed at one of the ends of the trunk on a long RS485 cabling run, turn the Blue RS485 End-of- Line Terminating switch to the ON position.
Figure 2.8: FIELD RS485 Wiring NOTE: The RS485 GND (Pin 3) is not typically connected. If the ProtoCom is the last device on the BACnet MS/TP, Metasys N2, or DF1 trunk, the End-Of-Line Termination (EOL) Switch needs to be enabled. See Section 1.8 for instructions on removing and replacing the unit’s top cover.
2: Using the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon ProtoCom-Lon: Wire the Field Port to the LonWorks Network Connect the ProtoCom-Lon to the field network with the LonWorks terminal using a twisted pair non-shielded cable. LonWorks has no polarity. Figure 2.10: LonWorks FIELD Terminal 2.8: Step 8 - Connect Power to the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon...
The S3 DIP Switch for enabling Auto-discovery was set in step 3, Section 2.3. Once power is applied to a ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon that is set to enable Auto-discovery, the unit takes about 3 minutes to complete the discovery of all of the EIG meters attached to the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon and the loading of their data points.
2: Using the ProtoCom/ProtoCom-Lon 2.10: Step 10: Additional Configuration Depending on the protocol being used and the specific needs of your application, you may use the following configuration instructions. 2.10.1: Use the Web Configurator to Configure IP Address for BACnet IP and EtherNet/IP Follow the instructions in 1.8: Web Configurator, on page...
