Modern communication architecture via Ethernet: Cost-effective, fast and safe communication
In many cases the costs for installation and communication (e.g. peripheral equipment for field buses) exceed those for the respective power meters. Integration of the UMG 508 in an existing Ethernet architecture means a fast, cost- efficient and reliable communication. Additional interfaces enable the integration of the power analysers into PLC or building automation systems. The use of open standards offers great flexibility to the user.
Modbus Gateway: Easy integration of devices without Ethernet interface
With the Modbus Gateway function of UMG 508 you can connect less sophisticated Modbus RTU meters to Ethernet. The UMG 508 can be used simultaneously as a gateway for sub-meters or prior instruments existing within the installation. Each instrument with a Modbus RTU interface can be connected, if its data format and function codes correspond. Data can be scaled and labelled.
Highspeed Modbus
The UMG 508 series can transfer data via RS485 interface with a speed of up to 921.6 kB/s among each other device of this series.
Alarm management: E-mail and homepage inform you, wherever you are...
Who would not agree? Just leaving the building the first call arrives about certain problems in production, computer failure, energy breakdown...
By using a webbrowser and IP address you have direct access to the extremely powerful homepage of your UMG 508. You get detailed information about the actual condition of your powergrid from the homepage. Online data as well as historical data and graphs of events are available. Via homepage you can directly calculate the costs of your energy consumption and export it into a CSV-file or print it out.
Alternatively, an e-mail informs you, if overload occurs, short-term interruptions disrupt your production process, harmonics reduce the life expectancy of your technical equipment...
The applications are ceaseless.
