Supported Devices

Device Type	Modbus TCP (Ethernet)	RS485	Instruction video
Pilot SPM33	✅	✅

The RS485 terminals are located on the back of the device.

For correct RS485 wiring: follow the RS485 wiring guidelines.
If the wiring shown in the table below is incorrect, please let us know.
There is no general industry consensus on the use of A and B for RS485 polarity, so the naming may be counterintuitive for some devices.

Device	SmartgridOne Controller model OM1	SmartgridOne Controller model IG8	RS485-USB converter	RS485-Ethernet converter
13 (A+)	RS485 A	RS485_POS	RS485 A	TX+
12 (B-)	RS485 B	RS485_NEG	RS485 B	TX-
14 (Shield)	RS GND	GND	Not available	G

Power Supply Ensure the device is powered using terminals 1 (L/+) and 3 (N/-). The auxiliary power supply range is AC 85-265V or DC 100-300V.

You MUST give each device a unique address on the RS485 bus. Check the device manual for instructions.
Use lower addresses first (1, 2, ...) because the SmartgridOne Controller will find them faster!
For each device, it is generally recommended to keep the factory-default baud rate, parity, and stop bits. The SmartgridOne Controller will scan those first.

Use the following Modbus settings in the Controller's device wizard. These are the default settings for the meter:
