Description
The PMC-5231 is a web-based intelligent Power Meter Concentrator developed to maximise the potential of the PM Series range of Smart Power Meters.
It offers a webpage interface, and features various functions such as: power data collection, logic control, power demand management, data logger and alarm notification functions.
The PMC-5231 connects to PM Series Smart Power Meters via RS-485 or Ethernet interface to read the power data measured by the power meters. It then records these power values in real-time in a data logger file.
It can autonomously send the recorded data to a server of choice, where it can be interpreted via PMC Data Server software or SCADA software.
Additionally, further I/O devices can be added to connect to extra sensors (such as Temperature or other Environmental parameters) via use of the XV series of Daughter boards or M-7000 range of I/O modules. The PMC-5231 can also connect to standard Modbus TCP/RTU Slave modules. By working with the I/O modules, and functions such as IF-THEN-ELSE logic rule execution and alarm notification functions including Email/SNMP Trap, the PMC-5231 offers more thought-out power demand management and alarm notification functions, and is able to perform load shedding of the devices if required, and enables real-time monitoring and control of the power consumption of the devices.
Features
- no extra software tool is required, using browsers to perform system operations
-
Support for up to 24 PM series Modbus Power Meters and 8 Modbus I/O modules
(COM3, COM4 and LAN interface can connect to Max. 16 power meters individually) - Display real-time or historical power data (in data table or chart form)
- Provide power data statistics report (Daily and Monthly report)
- Data file auto send-back & recovery when network is resumed after disconnection
- Built-in IF-THEN-ELSE logic engine for thought-out power demand management
- Provide alarm message notification function via Email
- Adjust device operations by its power status via Modbus I/O modules
- Provide Schedule function for operations of I/O modules (devices)
- Support Modbus TCP/RTU Slave protocol for seamless integration with SCADA
- Support Standard SNMP Protocol
- With PMC Data Server software, allow importing the power data into database
