Use cases for the remotely controlled electricity meter

• Electricity consumption monitoring for machines in the manufacturing industry
• Electric car AC charging control
• Switching power outputs on and off with a mobile app
• Consumption metering and socket control from NETIO Cloud

Open API

The NETIO PowerDIN 4PZ smart electricity meter can be controlled over the Web and the NETIO Cloud at the same time. For Open API communication, one M2M protocol can be chosen at a time from among the following:

• Modbus/TCP
• MQTT-flex
• Telnet
• URL API (http get)
• JSON over HTTP
• XML over HTTP
• SNMP v1
• SNMP v3
• HTTP(s) Push JSON
• HTTP(s) Push XML

The SNMP protocol can be always used in parralel to other APIs.

Documentation for the protocols is available at the manufacturer’s website. The ANxx Application Notes provide useful deployment guidance.

Digital inputs for S0 / momentary switch (dry contact)

The In1 and In2 digital inputs can be used to connect dry contacts that can then be monitored using the Open API. In addition, each input includes an S0 pulse counter for monitoring the consumption with a water meter, an electricity meter or a similar meter.

2+2 outputs

Electrical measurements supported at Out1, Out2

• 2x Current [A]
• 2x Consumption [kWh]
• 2x Load [W]
• 2x TPF (True Power Factor)
• 2x Phase shift [-180...180°]
• 2x Reverse Energy [Wh]
• Voltage [V]
• Frequency [Hz]
• Measurement accuracy: better than 1%

Industrial product quality

The PowerDIN 4PZ LAN/WiFi dual electricity meter is intended for professional use.

• Designed for mounting on a DIN rail (6 units).
• 2-point factory calibrated (temperature compensation).
• PowerUp state – the state of the outputs after the device is powered up is configurable (On/Off/Last).
• ZCS – for switching an appliance on and off more frequently than a few times a day, ZCS (Zero Current Switching) support becomes important in the long term. ZCS makes sure that the relays at outputs 1 and 2 switch when the immediate current is zero.
• IOC function (Independent Output Control) – states of outputs are not affected by LAN connection failures, network layer restarts, or firmware upgrades.

Scheduler function (calendar)

With the Scheduler function, each output can be switched on and off automatically at pre-defined times and days-of-week. A schedule is useful for saving energy and periodic restarts of other equipment.

NFC Config = quick WiFi connection setup

With the NETIO Mobile2 app and a NFC-capable phone, the product can be connected to a WiFi network in 60 seconds.

For WiFi setup without NFC, the product features a built-in WiFi AP as well as a wizard to guide you through the selection of a WiFi network and configuring the connection.
