<How to calculate>

(1) Calculate the appropriate power to be measured from the unit of the integral power pulse output.
Unit for pulse output > (Max. measurement power [kW]) / (3,600 sec × 1 pulse/sec)
When the pulse output unit is 0.001, the maximum power that can be properly measured by pulse output is 3.6 kW (3,600 sec × 1 pulse/sec × 0.001).
If the load is higher than this value, the output pulses cannot keep up with it, and the number of pulses becomes small.
In such cases, set the pulse output unit to the value immediately above.
(2) Calculate the appropriate pulse output unit from the instantaneous power to be measured.
(Max. measurement power [kW]/3,600 sec × 1 pulse/sec) < Unit for pulse output
When the maximum power to be measured is 10 kW, the pulse output unit required for the correct pulse output is 0.01 kWh/pulse, which is the value immediately above this one:
10 W/3,600 sec × 1 pulse/sec = 0.0027

Notes:

(1) If the pulse output unit is set to output one pulse or more per second, the Eco- POWER METER® cannot correctly output pulses.
(2) If the pulse output OFF time is set too short, count errors by connected counters, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) may occur.

Notes:

1) MEWTOCOL is the protocol for PLC from Panasonic. DL/T645 is the China powermeter standard. Only DL/T645-2007 is supported.
2) For RS-485 converter on the computer side, we recommend SI-35 and SI-35USB (from LINE EYE Co., Ltd.). When using SI-35, SI-35USB or PLC from our company (which can be connected up to 99 units), up to 99 can be connected.
In case using this system with the other devices, up to 31 can be connected.
3) Please check with the actual devices when some commercial devices with RS-485 interface are connected. The number of connected devices, transmission distance, and transmission speed may be different according to using transmission line.
