PMC-5231M-3GWA 3G Industrial IoT Power Meter Concentrator

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

PMC-5231M-3GWA is the new generation of Power Meter Concentrator for meeting the trend of energy saving and carbon reduction in the Industry 4.0 age. It provides flexible integration with the ICPDAS power meters via RS-485 or Ethernet interfaces and features various functions such as: measure the power consumption of the devices, energy usage analysis, power demand management and alarm notification functions. The PMC-5231M-3GWA features a built-in Micro SD card. After retrieving the power data from the power meter, it will save the power data in data log file, and automatically send back the data log files to the back-end management center for data analysis and statistics.

PMC-5231M-3GWA offers a user-friendly and intuitive web site interface that allows users to implement an Energy monitoring and management system with just a few clicks; no programming is required. In addition to ICP DAS XV-Board and M-7000 I/O modules, the PMC-5231M-3GWA 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/SMS/LINE, the PMC-5231M-3GWA 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.

PMC-5231M-3GWA also supports the Modbus TCP/RTU, SNMP, FTP and MQTT protocols for seamless integration with the back-end SCADA/MES/IT/IoT/Network Management systems. So that the administrator can monitor the status of power consumption of each device and perform statistics and analysis of the power information, thus improving the overall efficiency in electricity consumption to save costs on utility bills. All of these features make PMC-5231M3GWA a perfect concentrator of power meters in the Energy monitoring and management application of Industry 4.0 age.
