Description

The WattsOn-MCM is a modular power and energy metering system. The product consists of a main board, voltage interface, and expandability for up to 20 input cards (3 channels per card) a power supply, and a communication interface card.

The modular design allows for flexible deployment and the possibility of easy future expansion. Each AC power metering card features up to three channels of measurements, and with 20 card slots, this translates to a total of 60 possible metering points.

The on-board communication coordinator features RS-485, Ethernet, and WiFi interfaces. With Modbus/RTU, Modbus TCP, HTTP Post, web server, and API, the architecture allow for flexible integration with many third-party platforms and devices. Additionally, the Elkor Cloud service may be used for monitoring and trending.

Configuration is handled through the on-board webserver, with a straightforward wizard. This allows configuration of existing and newly added cards including proper CT configuration, in addition to channel naming and channel voltage mapping.

Voltages need only be wired once into the voltage interface, which provides a safe, isolated signal to the WattsOn-MCM. This prevents the need for additional wiring and limits the line voltages to a small area of the enclosure.

A highly flexible template and configuration design allow for user-created virtual metering points. This allows a number of math functions to be performed on multiple data points, which may be used to aggregate data from user-specified channels. Using the incorporated math and scripting allows for user-defined calculations to be carried out on arbitrary register sets.

Future expandability means that the system can grow with demand. The plug-and-play design will feature multiple module types including Power Monitoring (Simple, Full, Advanced)**.
