Phoenix Contact EMpro measuring devices

Phoenix Contact has updated its range of EMpro measuring devices so they can be monitored and analysed remotely via a web interface. This is made possible by two ethernet communication modules with an integrated web server that allow measuring devices to be quickly and easily integrated into existing ethernet networks.

Important electrical machine and plant parameters, including current, voltage, power, energy and harmonics, can be accessed remotely using the server. The energy-measuring devices in the control centre can also be configured in this way. This makes it possible to customise the way measured data is stored and alarm messages are generated.

The RS485 ethernet gateway allows access to multiple measuring devices using one IP address, with the EMpro MA600 integrated into the ethernet network as the master. All other measuring devices are connected to the device network as slaves via the gateway.

The range is suitable for a variety of measurement tasks, from simple data collection for local consumers with the compact rail-mounted EMpro MA250, to power feed measurement tasks up to 700 VAC with the EMpro MA600 front panel device.
