Warning notice system
This manual contains notices you have to observe in order to ensure your personal safety, as well as to prevent
damage to property. The notices referring to your personal safety are highlighted in the manual by a safety alert
symbol, notices referring only to property damage have no safety alert symbol. These notices shown below are
graded according to the degree of danger.
DANGER
indicates that death or severe personal injury will result if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING
indicates that death or severe personal injury may result if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger will
be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning relating to
property damage.
Qualified Personnel
The product/system described in this documentation may be operated only by personnel qualified for the specific
task in accordance with the relevant documentation, in particular its warning notices and safety instructions.
Qualified personnel are those who, based on their training and experience, are capable of identifying risks and
avoiding potential hazards when working with these products/systems.

SM 1238 Energy Meter 480VAC (6ES7238-5XA32-0XB0)
Manual, V2.0, 01/2019, A5E37457453-AB 3
Preface
Purpose of the documentation
This SM 1238 Energy Meter 480VAC (6ES7238-5XA32-0XB0) device manual complements
the system manual for the S7-1200 Programmable controller
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/107623221). Functions that generally
apply to the PLC system are described in the S7-1200 system manual.
This manual and the system manual provide the technical information necessary to develop
and commission energy metering automation.
Conventions
Please also observe notes marked as follows:
Note
A note contains important information on the product described in the documentation, on the
handling of the product, and identifies parts of the documentation that are important to
understand.
Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions constitute one element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants, systems,
machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should only be
connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent such a connection is
necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g. firewalls and/or network
segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial security measures that can be implemented, please
visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as soon as they are
available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of product versions that are no
longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates may increase customers' exposure
to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed visit (https://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).

Documentation guide
1
The documentation for the SIMATIC S7-1200 programmable controller is arranged into three
areas.
This arrangement enables you to access the specific content that you need.
Basic information
The S7-1200 system Manual and Getting Started describe in detail the configuration,
installation, wiring, and commissioning of a SIMATIC S7-1200 programmable logic control
system. The TIA portal and STEP 7 online help also support you during configuration and
programming.
Device information
This device manual contains a compact description of the module-specific information, such
as properties, terminal diagrams, characteristics, and technical specifications.
General information
The function manuals contain detailed descriptions on general topics regarding the SIMATIC
S7-1200 system (for example, diagnostics, communication, Motion Control, and Web
server).
You can download the documentation free of charge from the Internet
(https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home/products/automation/systems/industrial.html).
Changes and supplements to the manuals are documented in a Product Information
document.
