Connecting Energy Meters to Ignition

General Discussion
1

Hi,
We are installing energy meters in our plant and want to connect all of them to Ignition. The meters support Modbus RS485, and we are also considering wireless options.

What is the best and most reliable way to connect all meters to Ignition?
(Wired RS485 gateways or wireless solutions)

Thanks!

I’ve used an MSA fieldbus gateway for Modbus 485.

I would go wired for reliability.

I use the Moxa MB3170, easy to config and reliable.
