Appendix D.
Configure with the Display The PowerMonitor™ 500 unit provides menu-based configuration
(programming) by using its front panel display. The programming menus let
you select parameters to edit, select digits within parameters, and increase or
decrease the value of each digit.
Place the unit in Programming mode by pressing Program/select (8) for about
2 seconds. The front panel displays the PASSWORD? menu page 0 in Editing
mode. Enter the correct password by using the Up and Down arrows (the
default password is 0) and press Program/select. The front panel then displays
the BACKLIGHT menu page 10.
See the programming flowchart that begins on page 28 for a view of the
organization of programming menus and submenus. Each page is identified
with a number, which is displayed in the top right corner. Menu page numbers
end in zero, while submenu pages end in 1 through 9. For example, the System
page is menu 40. Likewise, the Dmd page is menu 70, and the demand interval
Time page is menu 72.
While you are programming the power monitor, the display items and control
buttons function one way when you are navigating between menu or submenu
pages, and another way when you are editing a menu page.

Digital Filtering Operation Digital filtering smooths out the display of fluctuating values. The parameter
FILTER S defines the operating range of the filter. This operating range is
represented as a yellow band (each small square is one digit). While the
measured value (red curve in Figure 23) is within this band, the filter is active.
Once the value exceeds the operating range, the filter is deactivated and a new
band is active around the new value. The range of fluctuation (in digits) is a
good starting value for such parameters.
The parameter FILTER CO represents the filtering coefficient. The higher the
FILTER CO, the smoother the curve of the displayed values (black in
Figure 23). There is not a theoretical rule to define this parameter, it is set in
the field. One rule is to start with the value of the FILTER S coefficient and
then increase FILTER CO until the desired stability is reached.
The digital filter affects the values retransmitted both via serial communication
and analog output.
No filter action
Digital Fluctuation
Example 1
This example describes how to stabilize the displayed value of the VL-N
variable, which fluctuates between 222V and 228V. The parameters of the
digital filter have to be programmed as follows.
FILTER S: The variable fluctuates within the mean value whose amplitude is
equal to ±0.75% of the full scale rated value of the variable itself, which is
obtained by the following calculation:
(228 - 222)/ 2= ±3V, then ±3*100/400V= ±0.75%
where 400V is the line-to-neutral rated value of a 1420-V2 unit input
The FILTER S parameter, which represents the action range of the digital
filter, is programmed to a value that must be slightly higher than the percentage
amplitude of the fluctuation, for example, 1.0%.
FILTER CO: if the new value that is measured by the instrument is within the
action range of the filter, the new displayed value is obtained by adding
algebraically the previous value to the variation divided by the filtering
coefficient. As a consequence, a value higher than this coefficient implies a
longer settling time and therefore better stability. You generally obtain the best
result by setting the filtering coefficient to a value equal to at least 10 times the
range parameter value.
Example 2
This example describes how to stabilize the value of the displayed System Real
Power (W), which fluctuates 300...320 kW. In this example, the load is
connected to the instrument with a 300/5 A CT and a direct measure of the
voltage.
FILTER S: the variable fluctuates within the mean value whose amplitude is
equal to ±2.78% of the full scale rated value of this variable. This value is
obtained by the following calculation:
(320 - 300)/ 2= ±10 kW,
then ±10*100/360 kW= ±2.78%,
where 360 kW is the rated value of the System Real Power of a 1420-V2
unit input, at the CT and VT ratios and obtained with the following
formula:
VLN * VT * IN * CT * 3
Where:
IN = rated current (5 A)
FILTER CO: if the new value that is acquired by the unit is within the filtering
action range, the new displayed value is obtained by adding algebraically the
previous value to the variation divided by the filtering coefficient. As a
consequence, a value higher than this coefficient implies a higher settling time
and therefore better stability. Therefore, the best result is obtained by setting
the filtering coefficient to a value equal to at least 10 times the value of the
range parameters. In the example, 3.0*10=30. To improve the stability, you can
increase the filtering coefficient; the admitted values are included within
1 and 255.
Example 3
To be able to manage the alarm function and activation and deactivation of the
relay, this value is not to be subject to continuous fluctuations. In this example,
we have considered using a 500/5 A CT. Program the parameters of the digital
filter as follows:
FILTER S: the variable fluctuates within the mean value whose amplitude is
equal to ±1.60% of the full scale rated value of this variable (obtained with the
calculation:
(486 - 470)/ 2= ±8 A, then ±8*100/500 A= ±1.60%
where 500 A is the value referred to the primary of the transformer being
used).
The FILTER S parameter, which represents the action range of the digital
filter, is programmed to a value slightly higher than the percentage amplitude
of the fluctuation, for example 2.0%.
FILTER CO: if the new value that is acquired by the instrument is within the
filtering action range, the new displayed value is calculated algebraically adding
to the previous value the variation divided by the filtering coefficient. As a
consequence, a higher value of this coefficient implies a higher settling time
and therefore better stability. Therefore, the best result is obtained setting the
filtering coefficient at a value equal to at least 10 times the value of the range
parameter. In the example, 2.0*10=20. To improve the stability, you can
increase the filtering coefficient; the admitted values are within 1 and 255.
Analog Output Configuration These examples apply to units with catalog numbers 1420-V1A and 1420-
V2A.
Examples
Example 1: Power value retransmission with a 0…20 mA analog output.
In this example, the unit is configured to retransmit the whole range of the
allowed values for the PF with a signal from 0…20 mA. The value of the PF
variable can vary between C0.001 and L0.000 (for each phase); these values,
when retransmitted, correspond to 0 mA and 20 mA. When the PF value is
equal to 1, the analog output value corresponds to the middle of the scale,
which is 10 mA. Program the instrument as follows:
• VARIABLE: PF L1 (or L2 or L3 or PFΣ)
• MIN OUT: 0.0%
• MAX OUT: 100.0%
• MIN INPUT: C0.001 (the C symbol shows a CAPACITIVE value)
• MAX INPUT: L0.001 (the L symbol shows an INDUCTIVE value).
L0.001 has been chosen as minimum value to be set to avoid undesirable
rapid changes of the outputs
Alarm Configuration These examples apply to units with catalog numbers 1420-V1P and 1420-V2P.
Example This example describes an alarm when a measured real power value exceeds a
programmed threshold. For example, when 300 kW are exceeded, the alarm
occurs and the load that is controlled by the relay output is disconnected.
300 kW
295 kW
Notes:
Communication
TIP The Ethernet hardware address (MAC ID) is printed on the unit label.
The PowerMonitor 500 unit provides nine Assembly Instances that contain
real-time, maximum, demand, energy, and status data that can be read by a
client by using implicit messaging (Class 1) or Explicit Messaging (Class 3 or
UCMM).
Appendix A lists the Assembly Instances, sizes, data types, and other details.
The power monitor returns EtherNet/IP data as little-endian, the same byte
order that is used in the Logix family of programmable controllers.
15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
The EDS file is used to convey device configuration data that is provided by the
manufacturer. You can obtain EDS files for the PowerMonitor 500 unit by
downloading the file from the following website:
http://compatibility.rockwellautomation.com/Pages/MultiProductDownload.aspx
You can install EDS files on your computer by using the EDS Hardware
Installation Tool that comes with RSLinx® Classic software,
RSNetWorx™ for EtherNet/IP software, or other tools.
We assume that you are familiar with basic message programming in a Logix
controller. Once you configure the logic, message tag, destination tag, and
message instruction, follow these steps to configure the message. This example
uses a CompactLogix™ controller, revision 20.

4. Enter the setup parameters as listed in this dialog box and explained in
Table 7.
You can use additional programming to show the data in another way.
Instances 101…107 show data in the REAL, or floating point, format.
However, Instance 100 combines ASCII characters with numeric byte (SINT)
values.
The destinations of the CPS instructions are in a tag with a user-defined data
type.
Modbus Communication For a complete description of the MODBUS protocol refer to the following
documents that can be downloaded from http://www.modbus.org:
• Modbus_Application_Protocol_ V1_1a
• Modbus_Messaging_Implementation_Guide_V1_0a
IMPORTANT We recommend that you use Modbus TCP/IP to configure or write to the
PowerMonitor 500 unit and that you use Ethernet/IP to read the
PowerMonitor 500 unit.
In this section, Modbus addresses are indicated in two ways. The ‘Modbus
address’ is expressed as the 6-digit input register address (example: 300123),
used with Modbus function code 0x04. The ‘Physical address’ is the
hexadecimal representation of the word address that is included in the
communication frame.
Modbus function 0x04 can be used with the Modbus address by substituting a
4 for the first digit (example: 400123). With that distinction, functions 0x03
and 0x04 return the same data.
Value= (-1)sign*2(Exponent-127)*1.Mantissa
Modbus registers are 16-bit words that are organized as shown in the following
diagram.

LSW (least significant word) to MSW (most significant word) order.
Notes:
Summary of Data Tables The Data Table Summary Index table summarizes all data tables available and
their general attributes.
Geometric Representation of Power and power factor values are signed values in accordance with EN 62053
and as indicated in the diagram. Inductive or lagging power factor (Quadrant I
Power and Power Factor and III) is indicated by a positive power factor value. Capacitive or leading
power factor (Quadrant II and IV) is indicated by a negative power factor
value. The PowerMonitor™ 500 unit indicates the quadrant by using +/- L or
+/- C as shown in Figure 25.
Data Tables These tables detail each specific data table and its associated elements, such as
address, length, description, and format.
IMPORTANT In the data tables, the symbol is used to indicate 3-phase or system
values. The context determines whether the symbol indicates average (for
example, voltage) or total (for example, power) values.

This section describes the specific CIP Objects, Instances, Attributes, and
Services that are supported by the PowerMonitor™ 500 system. This information
is for anyone wishing to integrate the PowerMonitor 500 system into existing or
planned shop floor networks.
General For this device profile, we use a PowerMonitor 500 unit and an EtherNet/IP
communication module to provide power and energy metering data via an
EtherNet/IP network. The data is accessed as instances of the device Assembly
Object.
This profile documents objects that are proprietary, or in some way that is altered
from their generic behavior. Standard CIP objects that are generic in their
interface are documented in the EtherNet/IP specification.
Object Model and Interface The PowerMonitor 500 system is represented by the following Object Model.
Object Class Class Code Instance Numbers Number of Connections
Identity 0x0001 1 0
Assembly 0x0004 100d…108d 18
Identity Object - CLASS CODE The Identity Object is used to provide identification information about the
device. Each node supports at least one instance of the identity object. The
0x0001 Identity Object is used by applications to determine which nodes are on the
network. The Identity Object supports Class Attributes (Instance 0) and
Instance 1.
See Section 5-2 of the CIP Common Specification for full details of this object.
The Get Attribute All service returns a concatenation of all class or instance
attributes.
The Get Attribute Single service returns the single attribute that is specified by
the parameter Attribute ID.
Request Parameters
Parameter Data Type Description
Attribute ID UINT Identifies the attribute to be read/returned
Assembly Object - CLASS CODE The Assembly Object collects attributes from multiple objects, allowing data to
or from each object to be sent or received over a connection. Assembly Objects
0x0004 are used to produce and/or consume data to/from the network. An instance of
the Assembly Object can both produce and consume data from the network.
Assembly Instance Size (No. of elements) Data Type Data Table Description
100 20 UINT Product Information
101 12 REAL Real-time Voltage and Current
102 18 REAL Real-time Power, PF, Frequency
103 12 REAL Max Voltage and Current
104 17 REAL Max Power, PF, Frequency
105 12 REAL Demand Voltage and Current
106 17 REAL Demand Power, PF, Frequency
107 18 REAL Energy Meters
108 2 UINT Alarm and Output Status
The Get Attribute Single service returns the single attribute that is specified by
the parameter Attribute ID.
Connections
Heartbeat Instances
With the Assembly Instances shown earlier, the communication module also
recognizes two heartbeat instances. A heartbeat instance is a virtual output
instance that is specified by devices wishing to establish Input Only and Listen
Only Class 1 I/O connections to the communication module. Data cannot be
read from or written to a heartbeat instance. The heartbeat instance is merely a
programming construct that serves to keep the connection active.
The communication module heartbeat instances are Instance 98 for the Input
Only connection and Instance 99 for the Listen Only connection.
Behavior
Technical Notes This section lists additional technical information about Ethernet network
communication.
Parameters
Modbus TCP/IP
IMPORTANT We recommend that you use Modbus TCP/IP to configure or write to the
PowerMonitor 500 unit and that you use Ethernet/IP to read the PowerMonitor
500 unit.
ACD
If an address conflict is detected from the communication module, then the base
module displays ‘ACD Found’. In that case, it is necessary to check the network
configuration, resolve the problem, and then cycle control power to the power
monitor to re-establish communication.
TCP/IP Port
You can reassign the default Modbus TCP/IP port: 502 (0x01F6).
Configure with the Display The PowerMonitor™ 500 unit provides menu-based configuration
(programming) by using its front panel display. The programming menus let
you select parameters to edit, select digits within parameters, and increase or
decrease the value of each digit.
Place the unit in Programming mode by pressing Program/select (8) for about
2 seconds. The front panel displays the PASSWORD? menu page 0 in Editing
mode. Enter the correct password by using the Up and Down arrows (the
default password is 0) and press Program/select. The front panel then displays
the CHANGE PAS menu page 10.
See the programming flowchart that begins on page 90 for a view of the
organization of programming menus and submenus. Each page is identified
with a number, which is displayed in the top right corner. Menu page numbers
end in zero, while submenu pages end in 1 through 9. For example, the Change
Password page is menu 10. Likewise, the Dmd page is menu 80, and the
demand interval Time page is menu 82.
While you are programming the power monitor, the display items and control
buttons function one way when you are navigating between menu or submenu
pages, and another way when you are editing a menu page.

IMPORTANT To save programming changes, navigate to the End menu page 260 and
press Program/select. To exit the Programming mode without saving any
changes, press Exit and confirm by pressing Program/select. If no buttons
have been pressed for 2 minutes, the power monitor exits Programming
mode without saving any changes.
TIP You can make programming changes by using the PowerMonitor 500
software.
10
To modify the decimal point position and the multiplier, use the Up and
Down arrow (7) to select the desired value.
Configuration Flowchart The following flowchart shows the configuration menus and submenus that
are accessed through the display. To navigate through the menu pages, use the
up and down arrows. To enter Edit mode or to access a submenu, press the
Program/select button. The menu pages available depend on your module
type.
• 0 PASSWORD?: enter password by using up and
down arrows to change the digit. Use the Exit button
to move the cursor between digits. Press the
Program/select button to confirm password. The
default password is 0.
• 10 CHANGE PAS: this function lets you modify the
PASS value with a new value (from 0…9999).
• 20 BACKLIGHT: adjusts backlight time from
0…255 minutes (0 = always on).
• 50 SYSTEM: this function lets you select the type of
electrical system.
See pages 19…22 for descriptions and wiring
diagrams that correspond to the system type
designations, such as, 3P and 3P.n.
• 60 CT RATIO: this function lets you select the value
of the CT ratio (primary/secondary ratio of the
current transformer being used). Example: if the CT
primary (current transformer) has a current of 300 A
and the secondary a current of 5 A, the CT ratio
corresponds to 60 (300 divided by 5).
• 70 PT RATIO: this function lets you select the value
of the PT (VT) ratio (primary/secondary ratio of the
potential/voltage transformer being used). Example:
if the primary of the connected PT is 20 kV and the
secondary is 100V, then the PT ratio corresponds to
200 (20,000 divided by 100). If the voltage level is
such that PTs are not required and are not in place,
configure the PT ratio to 1.0.
