ACREL Smart AC Power Meter with RS485 Modbus RTU
ACREL Smart AC Power Meter with RS485 Modbus RTU is an intelligent AC power meter designed to measure voltage, current, power and power consumption in AC systems. It provides local readings through an LED or LCD display and supports RS485 communication using the Modbus RTU protocol for connection to industrial control equipment and computer-based monitoring systems. The meter supports rated voltage options from AC 100 V to AC 660 V and 1 A or 5 A current transformer inputs.
Options:
| C: RS485 |
| V: 12V Power Output |
| K: 4DI/2DO |
| F: Mulitple rate |
The ACREL Smart AC Power Meter with RS485 Modbus RTU is designed for monitoring electrical parameters in AC power systems. It can measure voltage, current, power, power consumption, and forward and reverse power, allowing electrical performance to be viewed locally and incorporated into a wider monitoring system.
The meter features an LED or LCD display for local monitoring and an RS485 communication interface using the Modbus RTU protocol. This allows the PZ96L to be connected with industrial control equipment or computers as part of a measurement and control system.
The manufacturer's page lists applications including AC panels, solar power systems, inverters and telecommunications base stations. The meter can work with 1 A or 5 A current transformers, while voltage options include AC 100 V, 220 V, 380 V and 660 V, with 660 V identified by the manufacturer as a customised option.
How it works
- The meter measures voltage and current in an AC electrical system and calculates electrical parameters including power and energy.
- Measurements can be viewed locally on the LED/LCD display.
- RS485 communication with Modbus RTU allows measured data to be transferred to compatible monitoring or control equipment.
- The meter supports forward and reverse energy measurement for applications where power flow may occur in both directions.
