Modular power meter

7 March 2012 Test & Measurement

Panasonic’s KW2G Eco-Power meter enables energy management in application areas such as manufacturing and process automation; building automation (for industrial and non-industrial applications); monitoring of air conditioners and cooling devices, eg, in the food and beverage industry, in grocery stores and shopping malls; and public facilities such as swimming pools, schools, universities, etc.

Users can add up to seven expansion units to the device, permitting them to gather data for several circuits at once. It provides simultaneous measurement of power and pulse input and is designed for mounting on DIN rails, making installation easy. The KW2G includes an RS485 interface (Modbus RTU/MEWTOCOL), enabling connection to other devices, and a USB port to connect to a PC for configuration.

All values can be displayed graphically on a PC with KW Monitor software. This simplifies collecting and analysing key data so that the necessary steps for improving energy efficiency can be instigated.
