Introduction
GE Multilin has set a new standard in
metering technology with the introduction
of the PQM II. This meter, designed on
the latest industry specifications, provides
accurate and reliable three-phase power
metering with an optional Ethernet and
fiber communications module in a small
and modern package. The PQM II can
be used for a variety of applications
including metering of distribution feeders,
transformers, generators and motors.
robust Metering and Power Quality
Capabilities in one Package
Digital Metering
The PQM II is an ideal choice when
continuous monitoring of a three phase
system is required. It provides metering for
current, voltage, real and reactive power,
energy use, cost of power, power factor
and frequency. Waveform capture and
Voltage Disturbance Recorder continuously
monitors power quality. Programmable
setpoints and 4 assignable output relays
allow control functions to be added for
specific applications.
Communications Made easy
Integrate process, instrumentation
and electrical requirements in a plant
automation system by connecting PQM II
meters to a DCS or SCADA system. Meter
provides multiple communication ports that
can provide data simultaneously to multiple
masters such as SCADA, DCS, BMS etc.
Meter supports both ModBus and DNP 3.0
protocol. A computer running EnerVistaTM
software can change system setpoints,
monitor values, status and alarms.
Continuous monitoring minimizes process
downtime by immediately identifying
potential problems due to faults or
changes.
Industry leading software makes
setup simple
The PQM II comes complete with
EnerVistaTM GE Multilin's suite of software
tools for managing the entire lifecycle
implementation of the PQM II. EnerVistaTM
contains all of the tools for setting up and
configuring your PQM II in minutes via
RS232. RS485. external modem or Ethernet
LAN.
ethernet capability
With the optional Multinet module, users
can add Ethernet capability to their meter.
Multinet is an Ethernet communications
module that allows connection of up to 30
ModBus devices, providing ModBus TCP/IP
communications for these devices over
Ethernet. This allows connection to Fiber
Optic LAN and WAN systems for remote
access to data on the PQM II.
standard Features
The PQM II provides continuous monitoring
of a three-phase system. It provides
metering of current, voltage, real and
reactive power, energy use, cost of power,
power factor and frequency. Ethernet
communications are available through the
optional Multinet module.
Metering
PQM II is a true RMS meter with 0.2%
accuracy for voltage and currents. The
PQM II provides advanced features for
monitoring and metering which include:
