5.5 Power supply A marked and easily accessible current limiting switch in accordance with IEC 60947-2 has to be arranged in the vicinity of the device for turning off the power supply. Fusing should be 10 Amps or less and must be rated for the available voltage and fault current. 5.6 Relays When the device is switched off the relay contacts are de-energized, but dangerous voltages may be present.
Active inputs (no external power supply required) Example with meter pulse and status inputs Technical data acc. EN62053-31, class B Open circuit voltage ≤ 15 V Short circuit current < 15 mA Current at R =800Ω ≥ 2 mA 5.8 Digital outputs The device has two standard digital outputs for which an external 12 / 24 VDC power supply is required.
5.9 Analog outputs Analog outputs are available for devices with corresponding I/O extensions only. See nameplate. Analog outputs may be remote controlled. Connection to an analog input card of a PLC or a control system The device is an isolated measurement device. The module outputs are galvanically connected, but the modules isolated from each other.
5.11 Fault current detection Each fault current module provides two channels for monitoring differential or fault currents in earthed AC current systems. In any case, measurement has to be performed via suitable current transformers, a direct measurement is not possible. The module is not suited for monitoring operating currents of normally live conductors (L1, L2, L3, N).
Page 23
Example: Fault current monitoring in a TNS system Hints (1) If the current transformers for the fault current detection needs to be grounded on the secondary side this has to be done via the COM connector. (2) Note that all conductors have to pass through the opening of the residual current transformer in the same direction.
5.12 Temperature inputs Each temperature module provides two channels for temperature monitoring. They can be used in two ways: a) Temperature measurement via Pt100 sensor • Measurement range: -50 up to 250°C • 2 configurable alarm limits • Configurable alarm delay time for ON / OFF •...
5.13 GPS time synchronization The optional GPS connection module serves for connecting a GPS receiver as a very accurate time synchronization source for the measurement device. The GPS receiver, available as an accessory, is used as outdoor antenna to process data from multiple GPS satellites simultaneously. GPS receiver Only use the receiver Garmin GPS 16x-LVS (article no.
Page 26
Connecting the GPS receiver Never connect the RJ45 connector of the connecting cable directly to a network device such as a router or switch. These devices could be damaged. The GPS receiver is plugged directly into the GPS connection module. The connection cable has a length of 5 m.
6. Commissioning Before commissioning you have to check if the connection data of the device match the data of the plant (see nameplate). If so, you can start to put the device into operation by switching on the power supply and the measurement inputs.

Ethernet installation 6.3.1 Settings Before devices can be connected to an existing Ethernet network, you have to ensure that they will not disturb the normal network service. The rule is: None of the devices to connect is allowed to have the same IP address than another device already installed The device can be equipped with multiple Ethernet interfaces whose network settings can be configured independently.
Page 30
For a direct communication between device and PC both devices need to be in the same network when the subnet mask is applied: Example 1 decimal binary 11000000 10101000 00000001 01100101 192.168. 1.101 IP address 11111111 11111111 11111111 11100000 255.255.255.224 Subnet mask xxxxx variable range...
Time synchronization via NTP protocol For the time synchronization of devices via Ethernet NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard. Corresponding time servers are used in computer networks, but are also available for free via Internet. Using NTP it's possible to hold all devices on a common time base. Two different NTP servers may be defined.
6.3.3 Connection of the IEC61850 interface The RJ45 sockets X1 and X2 serve for direct connecting Ethernet cables. Both ports are equivalent and internally connected via a switch. Interface: RJ45 sockets, Ethernet 100BaseTX Mode: 10/100 MBit/s, full / half duplex, Auto-negotiation ...
6.3.5 MAC addresses For uniquely identifying Ethernet connections in a network, a unique MAC address is assigned to each connection. Compared to the IP address, which may be modified by the user at any time, the MAC address is static. Standard Ethernet interface IEC61850 Ethernet interface PROFINET Ethernet interface...
6.4 IEC 61850 interface The features of the IEC61850 interface are described in a separate document: >> IEC61850 interface SINEAX AMx000/DM5000, LINAX PQx000, CENTRAX CUx000 This document is available via: >> https://www.camillebauer.com/am2000-en 6.5 PROFINET IO interface The PROFINET interface provides a cyclical process image, which can be freely assembled by the user. 6.5.1 General stations description file (GSD) The GSD file describes the functionality available via the PROFINET interface of the device.
Before a device can be used in a project, the associated GSD file must be imported in the configuration tool (e.g. TIA Portal). 6.5.2 Parameterization of the device As soon as the GSD file has been imported, the device is available in the hardware catalog and can be integrated using drag&drop.
Page 36
Further steps during parameterization are: • Assigning a unique device name via DCP protocol • Assigning an IP address to the device, normally an automatic procedure • Assembly of the cyclical process image (see below), maximum of 62 measurements • Integration in the topology of the complete system Because these steps are device independent and do rely on the used tool only, further details are not given here.
6.5.3 Validity of measurements The following measurements can be used in the process image: • Instantaneous values of voltages, currents, active/reactive/apparent power, frequency, load factor • THD voltages and currents, TDD currents • Odd harmonics of voltages and currents up to the 25 •...
6.6 Simulation of analog / digital outputs To check if subsequent circuits will work properly with output values provided by the device, using the service menu Simulation all analog or digital / relay outputs may be simulated. This is done by either entering analog output values or selecting discrete states for the digital outputs / relays.
6.7.2 Secure communication using HTTPS HTTPS provides encrypted communication using TLS (Transport Layer Security). Such as bidirectional encryption of communications between a client and server protects against eavesdropping and tampering of the communication. HTTPS creates a secure channel over an insecure network. Before HTTPS communication can be used a root certificate needs to be installed.
Agree to install the certificate when the below security warning appears: Customer certificate Upload your certificate and private key via the Settings of the Security system in the item Web Security. 6.7.3 Whitelisting clients It is possible to define an IP address list of up to 10 clients allowed to have access to the device.

Incoming / outgoing / inductive / capacitive The device provides information for all four quadrants. Quadrants are normally identified using the roman numbers I, II, III and IV, as shown in the adjacent graphic. Depending on whether the system is viewed from the producer or consumer side, the interpretation of the quadrants is changing: The energy built from the active power in the quadrants I+IV can either been seen as delivered or consumed active energy.

7.6 Alarming The alarming concept is very flexible. Depending on the user requirements simple or more advanced monitoring tasks may be realized. The most important objects are limit values on base quantities, the monitoring of fault-current, monitoring functions and the summary alarm. 7.6.1 Limit values on base quantities Using limit values either the exceeding of a given value (upper limit) or the fall below a given value...
7.6.2 Monitoring fault-currents Each (optional) fault current module provides two channels for monitoring residual or fault current. For each of the channels an alarm and a pre-warning limit can be defined, which can be used as follows: … Activating a summary alarm when the alarm limit is violated or a breakage occurs (2mA input only) …...

7.6.4 Monitoring functions By means of monitoring functions the user can define an extended condition monitoring, e.g. for triggering an over-current alarm, if one of the phase currents exceeds a certain limit value. The states of all monitoring functions …will be shown in the alarm list (“Alarms” via main menu) …build a summary alarm state Logic inputs Up to three states of limit values, fault-current or temperature monitoring, logic inputs or other monitoring...
7.6.5 Summary alarm The summary alarm combines the states of all monitoring function MFx to a superior alarm-state of the overall unit. For each monitoring function you may select if it is used for building the summary alarm state. If at least one of the used functions is in the alarm state, the summary alarm is also in the alarm state. If an optional failure-current monitoring is present, the detection of an alarm state or a breakage of the measurement line (2mA inputs only) activates directly the summary alarm.
7.7 Data recording The optional data logger provides long-term recordings of measurement progressions and events. The recording is performed in endless mode (oldest data will be deleted, as soon as the associated memory is full). Depending on the version ordered, the following data groups are available: Group Data type Request...

Displaying the chronology of meter contents The chronology of meters is available via the menu Energy and is divided in two groups: • Pre-defined meters • User-defined meters From the difference of two successive meter readings the energy consumption for the dedicated time range can be determined.
Data export as CSV file the time range of the data to export can be selected. A CSV (Comma separated value) file will be generated. This can be imported as a text file to Excel, with comma as a separator. The same file contains data for all quantities of the respective group.
7.7.3 Micro SD card Devices with data logger are supplied with a micro SD-Card, which provides long recording times. Activity The red LED located next to the SD card signals the logger activity. When data is written to the SD card the LED becomes shortly dark.
7.8 Timeouts The device is designed to display measurements. So, any other procedure will be terminated after a certain time without user interaction and the last active measurement image will be shown again. Menu timeout A menu timeout takes effect after 2 min. without changing the present menu selection. It doesn’t matter if the currently displayed menu is the main menu or a sub-menu: The menu is closed and the last active measurement image is displayed again.

Reactive power Most of the loads consume a combination of ohmic and inductive current from the power system. Reactive power arises by means of the inductive load. But the number of non-linear loads, such as RPM regulated drives, rectifiers, thyristor controlled systems or fluorescent lamps, is increasing. They cause non- sinusoidal AC currents, which may be represented as a sum of harmonics.
