Note: This edition of the circuit monitor instruction bulletin describes features available
in series G4 or later and firmware version 17.009 (or higher). Series 2000 circuit
monitors with older series numbers or firmware versions will not include all features
described in this instruction bulletin.
If you have Series 2000 circuit monitors that do
not have the latest firmware version and you want to upgrade their firmware,
contact your local Schneider Electric representative for information on purchasing
the Class 3020 Type CM-2000U Circuit Monitor Firmware Upgrade Kit.
WHAT IS THE The POWERLOGIC
Circuit Monitor is a multifunction, digital
CIRCUIT MONITOR? instrumentation, data acquisition and control device. It can replace a variety
of meters, relays, transducers and other components. The circuit monitor is
equipped with RS-485 communications for integration into any power
monitoring and control system. However, POWERLOGIC System Manager
application software—written specifically for power monitoring and
control—best supports the circuit monitor’s advanced features.
The circuit monitor is a true rms meter capable of exceptionally accurate
measurement of highly nonlinear loads. A sophisticated sampling technique
enables accurate, true rms measurement through the 31st harmonic. Over 50
metered values plus extensive minimum and maximum data can be viewed
from the six-digit LED display. Table 1-1 on page 3 provides a summary of
circuit monitor instrumentation.
The circuit monitor is available in several models to meet a broad range of
power monitoring and control applications. Table 1-2 on page 3 lists the
circuit monitor models. Table 1-3 compares the features available by model.
Circuit monitor capabilities can be expanded using add-on modules that
mount on the back of the circuit monitor. A voltage/power module and
several input/output modules are available. See I/O Capabilities in the Circuit
Monitor Reference Manual for a description of the available I/O modules.
