Display and Monitoring for MGEs Power

Management Module (PMM) and Remote Power
Management Module (RPMM)

MONITORING OPTIONS
MGEs Power Management Module (PMM) and Remote Power Management Module (RPMM) are
available with four optional monitoring systems: the Multi-Circuit Monitor (MCM), the Circuit Monitor
4000 (CM4000), the Power Meter 800 (PM800), and the DMMS300. All four monitoring systems are
equipped with RS232 and/or RS485 serial communications. A stand alone web server / Ethernet gateway
is an option with two of the monitoring systems, multiplexing the data from multiple PMM/RPMMs and
placing it on an Ethernet network. The Ethernet cards also allow the PMM/RPMM data to be accessed
directly over the internet without requiring a web server.

MULTI-CIRCUIT MONITOR (MCM)

The MCM provides detailed power information and can be configured to monitor the power both on the
input and output side of the transformer. When input monitoring is selected, all defined parameters are
monitored for the line and the load side of the transformer and displayed on a single LCD large format
display. The MCM monitors all standard features on the PMM/RPMM except harmonics. The MCM
comes equipped with serial RS485 and infrared communications, and is designed to accommodate
optional features such as Main Circuit Current Monitoring, Branch Circuit Current Monitoring, and
Panelboard Main Circuit Breaker Current Monitoring.
Features include:

Dry contact alarm output

Alarm log

IR port for downloading to Palm Pilot

RS485 serial output

True RMS values

Branch Circuit Monitoring (BCM) (optional)

Panelboard Main Breaker Monitoring (optional)

Nonvolatile Memory

Input / Output Monitoring Option (optional with MCM only)

The MCM can be configured to monitor the power both on the input and output
side of the transformer. Note that when the PMM is used with the STS (PMM Plus configuration), the
STS will provide input power monitoring via its local display. Consult the MCM manual for details. This
option is not available with harmonic cancellation transformers.

Panelboard Main Breaker Current Monitoring Option (optional with MCM only)

The Panelboard Main Breaker monitoring displays the current of the panelboard main
breakers (panelboard main breakers or distribution breakers). In the event the current
approaches the trip rating of the breaker, the monitor will alarm via the LCD display.
Since the panelboard main breakers are rated at 225A and panelboards can potentially
feed in excess of 600A of branch circuit breakers, monitoring prevents accidental tripping
due to overloaded panelboards.

Branch Circuit Current Monitoring Option (optional with MCM only)

The Branch Circuit Monitor (BCM) monitors individual current of all 42 branch circuit
breakers on a standard SQ-D panelboard. In the event the current exceeds a threshold
(custom programmable via a PC on every pole for pre-alarm/summary alarm and vital
alarm thresholds), the alarm will be activated. Alarm parameters and currents are
available via the MCM LCD display, serial output, or can be downloaded to a PDA via
the IR port on the MCM display (serial port is disabled if IR port is enabled).

EGX Ethernet Gateway Web Enabler Option

The EGX Gateway puts the MCM and BCM data on an
Ethernet network and web enables the data allowing it to be
accessed over the web without the addition of servers or
complicated interface hardware. A number of PMM/RPMMs
may be daisy chained via their serial ports and linked to one
EGX monitor. The result is faster alarm notification,
increased data transfer rates, and easy access to data using
only a web browser. An open protocol means that other
devices may be interfaced with EGX to web enable them, as
well.
Features include:

Remote configuration using a standard internet browser

no special software required

Step-by-step online setup pages no instruction manual

required

Small size makes installation into power equipment fast

and easy

Power Meter 800 (PM800)

The PM800 is a multifunction, digital instrumentation, data acquisition and control device. The PM800 can
be configured to display the output (load side) voltage, current, kVA, kW, frequency, and other parameters
defined below. All measured values are displayed on a large format LCD display.
Features include:

True RMS values

Nonvolatile Clock/Memory

Set-Point controlled alarm & relay functions

Min/Max reading of values for real time readings

Power quality readings

Dry contact alarm output

Alarm log

RS485 serial output

Password protected
PM800 Manual

DMMS300
The DMMS300 displays 23 instantaneous electrical parameters. Values for each parameter are accessed
through the keypad on the meters front panel. The DMMS 300 displays four current measurements, six
voltage measurements, seven power readings, and six parameters of total harmonic distortion. All
readings are faceplate accessible. All measured values are displayed on a large format LCD display.
Features include:

True RMS values

Output metering

Nonvolatile memory

Min/Max reading of values for real time readings

Power quality readings

CIRCUIT MONITOR 4000 (CM4000)

The CM4000 is intended for customers seeking a premium monitoring solution with virtually every
feature including harmonic analysis and waveform capture. The CM4000 can also be web
enabled serving web pages directly off the monitor (no server or PC required) using the optional
Ethernet Gateway Card (ECC). The CM4000 can be used in conjunction with the Branch Circuit
Monitor (BCM) option, however it will not be possible to display local BCM alarms or locally view
each branch breaker current. This information can be made available remotely via the BCM's
serial interface, or by integrating the BCM's serial output onto the CM4000 network. Both
CM4000 and BCM data can be placed on an Ethernet network.
Features include:
True RMS values
Output metering
Branch circuit current monitoring (optional)
Waveform capture
Integrated Ethernet/web enabled output
Detailed harmonics monitoring
Nonvolatile memory
Min/Max reading of values for real time readings

Ethernet Communications Card (ECC)

Based on plug and play technology, the ECC plugs into an expansion slot on the circuit monitor providing
direct connection to the Ethernet network using either UTP or fiber cabling. An RS485 MODBUS master
port on the ECC supports a daisy-chain of up to 31 additional devices without a repeater, allowing the
CM4000 with ECC to act as an Ethernet gateway for the devices. The ECC supports MODBUS and TCP/IP
protocol. Embedded HTML pages allow for easy device setup and supply real-time power system
information from the CM4000 circuit monitor through a standard web browser. Similar information can also
be viewed for devices daisy-chained to the ECC's onboard RS485 port.

ALARM INFORMATION
The PMM/RPMM are equipped with one dry contact alarm which is activated when a metered value
exceeds a preset parameter, in the event of transformer over-temperature, TVSS failure, or activation of
the EPO (Emergency Power Off) trip. An audible alarm will also sound in the event the dry contact alarm
is activated. To obtain more detailed status of any monitored parameter, it is necessary to interface with the
communications port of the PMM/RPMM monitor allowing alarms to be annunciated via software systems.
Standard alarms include:

One dry contact signaling general alarm conditions

Audible alarm

LED signal on MCM meter
