I have an energy meter schneider conserv em6436h
i want to read data from it through modbus.
Is it possible with the delta,siemens ,allen bradly plcs,
please suggest me the proper method to communicate & requirements regarding this. I have 50 meters in plant and i want to read all my reading form plc.(schneider conserv em6436h )

For em6436h it has Modbus RTU then you can use Delta DVP RS-485 port for connect them by use WPLSoft in menu Wizard -> Program Example Generator -> Communication Program then follow with wizard for comptible with Modbus Register of em6436h.
 
If you want them back to a Rockwell Controller, I would suggest using a ProSoft card to read in the Modbus data.
 
Modbus is never plug-n-play; Modbus is always a project.

There's no short cut to getting a Modbus network up and running, but getting the first meter to talk to the PLC can be a challenge.

If you have the option, Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) tends to be easier to deal with, and Ethernet meters might piggyback onto an existing plant Ethernet network, saving wiring and switches. An RS-485 network will be dedicated to the meters and you'll need at least two separate 485 networks because RS-485 can handle a maximum of 32 nodes. Will the PLC support two RS-485 ports?

Power meters are always a Modbus slave/server. The PLC needs to be a Modbus Master/client. Sometimes that's a licensed firmware and/or hardware option.

I suggest starting with a Windows Master program and a USB/485 converter (or Ethernet) to read some values from a spare meter. Then get the PLC to read those values from the meter. Then execute any writes to the meter.

aye, you are not kidding....!!

We wanted to get the Socomec Diris A40 reading data on Modbus to a ControlLogix PLC, and had to get quotes from System Integrators, ranging from £3k to £11k.....needless to say, the £11k bidder got dropped...

That was a few years back, and now I want to modify the code, so I will need to get my head round it again...........
