Lovato DMECD - DATA CONCENTRATOR FOR DME ENERGY COUNTERS - 4U - EXPANDABLE - RS485 PORT - WITH 8 PROGRAMMABLE DIGITAL INPUTS

General characteristics

DME CD is equipped with 8 inputs, which can be increased up to a maximum of 14 and allows to indirectly interface devices without communication as long as they have at least one pulse output.
It is capable of pulse counting that come in from the outputs of meters for energy, water, gas and other types of consumption: All data is viewed on its display or can also be available for PCs through its built-in RS485 interface using Synergy or Xpress software.
It can be expanded with up to 3 EXM series modules by optical interface.
With the programmable functions, average values can be determined for instantaneous quantities, such as power, speed, production rate, gas and water consumption, etc.
DME CD PV1 is specific for the monitoring of solar installations and needs to be connected to at least two DME D… meters (single or three phase). The user can available of data, such as energy produced by the generating installation, energy consumed by loads as well as exchanged energy (difference between import and export energy) with the power supplier.
It is already programmed to automatically calculate the self-consuming index and autonomy, mean power values, production (total and partial values) and the operating status of the AC/DC inverter, if it is equipped with digital outputs.
In addition, it can be customised by the user for load supervision, using the EXM series expansion modules, according to the defined logics and on the basis of the energy available.
