OPERATING LOGIC
- The module measures the following electrical quantities: Vrms, Irms, Watt, VAR, VA, Frequency, Cos and Active Energy, and provides the values in the corresponding MODBUS registers.
- In three-phase environments, measurements given above corresponding to any phase are available, other than the three-phase value (except the frequency). These measurements are rendered in both floating point and normalized format (except Frequency and Active energy) between 0..+10000 (-10000 ..+10000 for VAR e Cos). Active energy value is stored in memory and when the instrument is switched off, the last value before switching is kept in memory.
- The module output can transmit one of the following quantities: Vrms, Irms, Watt, cos as either a current or voltage value. If the instrument is set for three-phase measurements, it transmits automatically the three-phase value of the selected measurement. However, via MODBUS register, the user can choose to transmit the measurement corresponding to any phase: A, B, C.
- The user can set through MODBUS the values MIN and MAX of the measurement to transmit corresponding to 0% and 100% of the analog output. For example, if the signal is transmitted as current 4..20 mA and the quantity to transmit is voltage Vrms in the 10..300 V range, (therefore MIN=10, MAX=300), then if Vrms measured is 10V, analog output will be 4mA, while if Vrms=300V output will be 20mA. In the intermediate points the behaviour is linear. The analog output values saturate at approximately 11 V for voltage output and at 22mA for current output (analog output clamped at 110 %).
- If network frequency oscillates more than 30 mHz from rated values (50 o 60 Hz), it’s possibile to compensate errors on measurements of Power and Energy caused by these variations. This option is selectable via MODBUS register. Vrms and Irms measurements are not influenced by these variations.
- When the module is switched on, the appropriate setting coefficients are measured (depending on the choice of 50 or 60 Hz frequency). All the settings made will be automatically loaded when the module is reset.
NOTE: without load connected to the S203TA-D, only the (displayed) voltage and frequency assume a corrected value.
