Typical areas of application

  • Substitution of analogue and digital power meters
  • Consumption data collection and evaluation (load profiles)
  • Continuous power quality supervision (e.g. as quality control at hand-over points to energy suppliers)
  • Cost centre management, assignment of energy costs
  • Avoiding costly and even dangerous power peaks
  • Ethernet gateway for sub-meters
  • Remote control and supervision of plants and processes
  • Protection of grids

DIN rail mounting (6TE)

reduction of installation costs

Measurement equipment is usually installed in the low voltage main distribution as an integral measurement instrument for the switchgear cabinet door. Installation and connection costs are significantly reduced by the installation of the UMG 604 on a 35mm DIN rail. This means that the panel cut-out and wiring to the cabinet door is no longer necessary. In order to make use of the extensive functions of modern measuring equipment, the interconnection and central analysis of the data plays an important role. This means that the on-site display generally serves the purpose of the initialisation and service only.

The decidedly compact UMG 604 is suitable for installation in low voltage main distribution panels and machines as well as in installation distribution boards which is particularly of interest for applications in building services engineering, information technology and data centres.

High-speed Modbus

The device of the UMG 604 series can transfer data between the units using the RS485 interface at a speed of up to 921.5 kB/s.

Modern communication processes through the Ethernet

affordable, rapid and safe communication

The costs for installation and communication (e.g. periphery for field buses) often surpass the costs of the equipment. By connecting the equipment to an existing Ethernet system, a fast, optimally priced and reliable communication system can be developed. Additional interfaces allow the integration of power analysers in PLC systems or in central building management systems. The use of clear standards offers the user a high amount of flexibility.

Modbus Gateway

the affordable connection of units without an Ethernet interface

With the Modbus gateway function, simple Modbus RTU-units can be connected to the Ethernet using the UMG 604. For example, the UMG 604 can be used simultaneously as a gateway for subordinate measurement points or older units which already exist in the installation. Each unit with a Modbus RTU interface, where the data format and function codes match up, can be connected. Data can be marked and scaled.

The e-mail and homepage inform you wherever you are…

Who hasn’t experienced it before? You are hardly through the door and the telephone is already ringing. There are problems in production, computers are crashing and the energy supplies are lost. You have direct access to the extremely high performance homepage of the UMG 604 with a web browser and an IP address. Extensive information is already available to you on the homepage. Online data are available together with historical data and graphs recording events. The homepage can be used to directly convert the rates into costs and be exported as a csv file or printed. As an alternative, you can let yourself be informed by e-mail anywhere in the world if your energy supply becomes overloaded, if short-term interruptions to the voltage supplies bring your production processes to a standstill or unauthorised harmonics reduce the lifespan of equipment.

The application possibilities are endless.
