It's always difficult but crucial to the supervisors to figure out how much energy is consuming. ICP DAS brings the most powerful, cost effective, advanced Compact Power Meters, PM-213X series, to the markets.

With its high accuracy (1%, PF=1), the PM-213x series products can be applied both on low voltage primary side and/or medium/high voltage secondary side and enable the users to obtain in real time the reliable and accurate energy consumption readings from the monitored equipments while in operation. These compact size and cost effective Power Meters are equipped with revolutionary wired clip-on CT (various types support input current up to 200A) and standard Modbus communication RS-485 protocol for easy deployment. It works with input voltages ranging 10V ~ 500V, supporting a wide range of applications.

ICP DAS offers PM-213X family in a full range of Single-phase and Three-phase compact power meters for power monitoring. The products offer a rich feature set combined with easy-to-integrate communications.

The PM-213x-CAN series power meter provides the CAN bus interface for users to easily gather the real-time power consumption information in their CAN applications. The PM-213x-CAN provides the Auto-Response mode which responses messages at regular intervals automatically. It makes the communication more efficient when collecting a lot of remote power information. The polling mode offers the precise information of every step required by the monitors. In addition, the PM-213x-CAN also owns the arbitration mechanism which can avoid data collision and error detection.

The PAC family of ICP DAS is a modular network-based PAC with the capability of connecting I/O either through its own dual backplane bus or alternatively through remote I/O units and remote I/O modules. Applying the PM-213x-CAN into the PAC based system, the user could use the CAN converter or CAN module. Nowadays, the user has better choice. The user could use I-8120W with power meter firmware inside. The power meter firmware manages all the PM-213x-CAN power meters and collects all power data automatically. We provide the development API and the management utility which is shown as the following picture.

ICP DAS has been developing various CAN products for several years, including PCI interface, converter, uPAC and slot module CAN products. In addition, we can provide CAN bus solution for our customers. Applying the PM-213x-CAN into the PC based system, the user could use general CAN converter or PCI CAN boards. Nowadays, the PISO-CM100U with power meter firmware inside would be the better choice. The power meter firmware manages all the PM-213x-CAN power meters and collects all power data automatically. We provide the development API and management utility which is shown as the following picture.
