Measuring devices for energy management

22 June 2011 Power Electronics / Power Management

The new EMpro energy measuring devices from Phoenix Contact acquire and monitor electrical parameters of systems and machines. Using these network-capable devices, all measured data are centrally and locally available. These products allow direct access to measured values and easy configuration by simply pressing a key. The devices can be expanded at any time using the function and communication modules.

The product family comprises three device types. The rail-mounted, compact EMpro MA250 measuring device is used for measuring tasks in control cabinets directly at the machine. Using the integrated RS485 interface, the device can be simply incorporated in Modbus and JBus systems.

The universal EMpro MA400 in the front panel fulfils all standard measuring tasks in main distribution panels up to 500 V a.c. Using a pluggable RS485 communication module, the product can also be simply incorporated in Modbus and JBus systems.

The EMpro MA600 is especially suitable for all measuring tasks in power supply systems up to 700 V a.c. – from current and power management up to recording harmonics – including a spectral analysis as well as trend calculation. With the pluggable expansion modules, this device is transformed into a communication module and can therefore be integrated into fieldbus systems as well as into network structures. The Web server integrated in the Ethernet communication modules facilitates convenient remote access from a main control room. Furthermore, the following communication interfaces are available: RS485/Ethernet gateway with Web server, RS485, JBus and Modbus RTU, as well as Profibus DP and Profibus DSUB.
