Acquiring and monitoring electrical parameters of systems and machines, the EMpro energy network capable measuring devices from Phoenix Contact make all measured data centrally and locally available. They set themselves apart as a result of the direct access to measured values and easy configuration by a simple pressing of a key. The devices can be expanded at any time using the function and communication modules. The product family comprises three device types. The rail-mounted compact EMpro MA250 is used for measuring tasks in control cabinets directly at the machine. Using an integrated RS485 interface, it can be simply incorporated in Modbus and JBus systems. The universal EMpro MA400 in the front panel fulfills all standard measuring tasks in main distribution panels up to 500 V AC. Using a pluggable RS485 communication module, the product can also be simply incorporated in Modbus and JBus systems. Offering a spectral analysis as well as trend calculation feature, the EMpro MA600 is especially suitable for all measuring tasks in power supply systems up to 700 V AC; from current and power management up to recording harmonics. With pluggable expansion modules, it can be integrated into Fieldbus systems as well as into network structures. The Web server integrated in the Ethernet communication modules facilitates convenient remote access from a main control room. Further, the following communication interfaces are available for the measuring device: RS485/Ethernet gateway with Web server, RS 485, JBus, and Modbus RTU, as well as Profibus DP and Profibus DSUB.
