Device-specific information

Manufacturing-related information about the meter is available from the Factory module or using Modbus commands.

The meter’s Factory module stores meter details such as:

• Device Type

• Serial Number

• Vendor Name

• Options

  Note: The Options register holds the device Commercial Reference for devices shipped with firmware version 4.6.0 or later.

You can use ION Setup in advanced mode to view the contents of the Factory module’s setup registers. Similarly, you can use Modbus commands to read the Modbus registers mapped to the corresponding Factory module’s registers.

Note: Not all ION device setup registers are mapped to Modbus registers by default.

For more information see Factory Module in ION Reference help.
