Metering Update Rate
Allen-Bradley HMIs
The metering update rate is a measure of how often the PM3000
calculates new metering results. The metering update rate is not
significant in most applications, but can be important in some control
applications. The metering update rate affects how quickly a setpoint
can respond to an electrical event and affects how often new metering
results are available for communications. The metering update rate is
dependent on the PM3000 model and device configuration.
Table 3.10 contains information that can be used to calculate the
metering update rate for a specific model containing specific
configuration selections.
Table 3.10 Metering update rate calculation based on model and device
configuration
Model and config options
Base metering update rate
If device is an M4
If RMS Resolution = High (see Table A.6)
If catalog # contains ENT, CNT, or DNT
If the Min/Max log is enabled (see Table A.23)
If more than 5 setpoints are configured
If Oscillography is enabled (see Table A.39)
If Transient detection is enabled (see Table A.43)
If Meter Result Set is set to Tranducer mode or
Emergy Meter Mode (see Table A.47)
Table 3.11 lists the minimum and maximum possible metering update
rate for each model based on information from Table 3.10.

55-80mS
M5
45-70mS
M6
45-75mS
M8
40-90mS
Out-of-the-box metering update rates are based on factory-default
configuration data and are listed in Table 3.12 for all PM3000 model
and communication options. Factory default settings for configuration
parameters can be found in Appendix A.
