Because some electric meters offer energy reading not only via S0 output but via RS485 as well we have added a support for several types of these electric meters into the Solar Monitor monitoring unit.
Reading an electric meter via RS485 brings the advantage of a more precious reaction and more data reading. Those electric meters communicate according to IEC EN 62056-21 norm.
With the Solar Monitor unit you can get not only direct photovoltaic measuring, but also data from the following measuring modules:
ZPA - ED310.DR, ED310.I.DR
Values which will be monitored can be specified within the order.
Phoenix Contact - EEM-MA200
ABB - REX 521
Carlo Gavazzi - VMUE, VMUX
Schneider Electric - PM9, Sepam
