Working Principle

Working Principle Diagram

The instrument is composed of a highly accurate metering integrated circuit (ASIC), management MCU, memory chip, RS485 communication module, etc. The working principle block diagram of the instrument is shown in Figure 2-2:

Metering Part Principle

The special metering integrated circuit (ASIC) integrated six loads in two orders ∑-△ a type of A/D conversion, please take the digital signal processing measured by the voltage circuit as well as all the power, energy, effective values, power factor, and frequency. This metering chip can measure the active power, reactive power, apparent power, active energy, reactive power, and apparent energy of each phase and combined phase, and at the same time, measure current, voltage effective values, power factor, phase angle, frequency, and other parameters, entirely satisfying the needs of the power meter. The chip provides an SPI interface, convenient for metering parameters as well as parameter calibration between the management MCU.

Data Processing Part Principle

Management MCU will timely read the electrical parameters such as current, voltage, power, etc. in the metering chips, judging the current quadrant based on the read data, and judging the current operated rate based on time and time rate, then adding the energy read from the metering chip to the corresponding quadrant energy and total energy based on the rate and quadrant, at the same time, calculating the corresponding combined energy based on the energy combination mode, and then store and backup the energy.

Main Function

Display function

From the displayed interface, the electrical parameter and energy data are all primary side data (that is, the multiplied by current and voltage ratios). The energy measuring value will be displayed in seven bits, with the display range from 0.00 kWh to 999999.9 kWh.

Display Interface

Note:
Combined active energy=Positive active energy + Reserve active energy The communication address of Modbus protocol is 1 terminal data (1-247), and the factory default baud rate is 9600 bps, N.8.1; E1 means even check 1 stop bit, O1 means odd check 1 stop bit, and N1 means one stop bit without check. The above interface is used to show the meaning of the display content. Due to the different functions of the instrument, the display symbols will increase or decrease.

Programming Function

Programming Parameter

Programming Operation

Button description: The “SET” button represents “confirmation” or “cursor shift” (when input digits); the “ESC” button represents “exit”; the button represents “add”. The input code is (default 701).

When input digits, can be used as a cursor shift button; is “add” button, means exiting the programming operation interface or switching to the character interface from the digit modification interface; adding from the beginning after setting the digit to the maximum value.

Note:

The communication address can also be set through the S-Miles App. Open the S-Miles App, tap “Toolkit Meter Location”, and enter the serial number of the smart meter, the communication address will be automatically set to 002. If two meters are required for an AC-coupled system, the address of the grid side meter should be set to 002, and the address of the PV side meter should be set to 001.

Communication Function

It has an RS485 communication interface, and the baud rate can be changed between 1200 bps, 2400 bps, 4800 bps, and 9600 bps. The factory default communication parameter is Modbus-RTU protocol; the baud rate is 9600 bps, with the calibration bit and stop bit to be n.1, and the instrument address is

Energy Measurement Function

The horizontal axis of the measurement plane represents the current vector I (fixed on the horizontal axis), and the instantaneous voltage vector is used to represent the current power transmission. Compared with the current vector I, it has phase angleφ. The counter-clockwise direction φangle is positive .

Note:

1. The measurement method for the combined active energy depends on the contents of character words of the active combined mode.
