9: Data Logging
9.1: Overview
Optional V-Switch™ keys 2 and 3 (V2 and V3) give the MP200 metering system mem-
ory for data logging. The MP200 metering system can log historical trends, limit
alarms, I/O changes, and sequence of events. In addition, the MP200 unit has a real-
time clock that allows all events to be time-stamped when they occur. Refer to Chap-
ter 10 (Configuring MP200 Metering System) and Chapter 19 (Viewing Logs) in the
Communicator EXT
TM
4.0 and MeterManager EXT Software User Manual for additional
information and instructions. You can download this manual at:

9.2: Available Logs
The following logs are available for an MP200 unit equipped with V2 and V3. These
meters have 2 and 32 MB, respectively, of non-volatile memory for data logging.
• Historical logs: Each MP200 unit with V2 or V3 has two historical logs. Log 1 is con-
figurable through Communicator EXT
TM
software. Log 2 is pre-configured to log
energy usage for each metered circuit over time for the three phase meter model.
Log 3 is pre-configured to log energy usage for each metered circuit over time for
the single phase meter model. If your MP200 unit has the single phase configura-
tion it will have Historical logs 1 and 3; if it has the three phase configuration it will
have Historical logs 1 and 2.
Note that the meter is configured to automatically store logs and that the logs
default to a 15 minute interval, though the logging interval can be changed.
• For the MP200-Y unit, Historical log 1 records, as a factory default, readings for
Volts Line-to-Line and Line to Neutral, and Frequency; however, the data chan-
nels recorded can be changed using Communicator EXT
TM
software. Historical log
2 records readings for Watt-hours, Interval Energy for each of the eight meters,
and accumulator readings for the four digital inputs.
• For the MP200-S unit, Historical log 1 records, as a factory default, readings for
voltage and frequency; however, the data channels recorded can be changed
using Communicator EXT
TM
software. Historical log 2 records readings for Inter-
val Energy for each of the 24 meters, and accumulator readings for the four dig-
ital inputs.
