%Q Configuration Values
This table shows the settings for Grid 1. The same settings apply to the Grid 2 control bits.
These bits must be set during the first PLC scan when the PLC transitions to run mode. %Q
offset 2, 3 & 4 and 18, 19 & 20 set the PSM for the field voltage and power configuration.
Setting these values incorrectly will yield invalid readings. All remaining bits may be
changed during run mode to adapt to changing field conditions.

3.3.4 Configuration for 120/208 3-Wire Delta system with
Two PTs (Two Wattmeter Method), B-Common
The following shows a typical hardware configuration for a 3-phase, 3-wire Delta power
monitoring application with the B-Phase used as common. This example shows settings for
Grid 1; all the settings can be applied to the respective Grid 2 parameters. Note that the
offset and gain values were found on the IC694PSM001 module faceplate label and on the
IC694ACC200 terminal assembly label. The Nominal Voltage is the anticipated Phase-to-
Phase voltage in the Delta configuration. Though phase-to-ground is 120VAC, the 1:1 PTs
will be connected from phase-to-phase, so the range must be set to 600VAC to
accommodate the 208V phase-to-phase voltage. The maximum Load Current of 87.0A,
through 100:5 CTs will deliver 4.350A to the IC694ACC200 Terminal Assembly.
