Real Time Synchronization

Introduction

The PowerPlex II (PPX II) is a new Automation Transducer built in the same package as the original PowerPlex, or with digital I/O added, in the M571 case. It is an Ethernet transducer with fast, 1-cycle updates that can be used in SCADA automation schemes and in synchronizing applications in conjunction with PLCs. It is an excellent choice as a replacement for the Bitronics M571 in non-recording applications. Two sets of three-phase voltages that allow direct connect for 600V ac systems are provided.

Communications

No need for PC software – Ethernet service port provides access to web server in the instrument so meters can be interfaced with just a web browser for viewing and configuration.
Ethernet protocol support for DNP3, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP or IEC 6185.
Built-in Ethernet switch allows pass-through from one device to another.
An option for both standard secondary “optimal resolution”or primary units makes communications with SCADA/RTU more flexible.
Optional display port and IRIG-B port.
Optional configurable RS-232/RS-485 serial port supports Modbus or DNP3 serial protocols.

Measurements

Full basic measurement & recording set with demand and harmonic values plus phase angle, voltage differential and slip frequency used in synchronizing applications.
0.2% revenue accuracy.
Updates every 1 cycle.
Optional trend recording.
