I have a energy meter. This energy meter will connect and log the data to other devices over ModbusTCP protocol.  
In ignition we have the option to connect to the device over modbusTCP connection. Traditionally, We need to change network IP of ignition to the energy meter connected IP series.  
But In AWS hosted windows server, how I can configure the Energy meter to ignition hosted there.  
Any idea will be useful for me !.

I can't understand what you're trying to ask.

If you need to configure a Modbus connection from Ignition to an energy meter, then you just create a new Modbus device connection in the Ignition Gateway and put the publicly reachable IP address of that meter into the Hostname setting.

If your energy meter does not have a publicly reachable address you'll have to figure out some way to get it onto the same network as your cloud-hosted gateway (VPN, etc...)
