Using the Onboard Digital Outputs

 

 

Energy Pulsing with LEDs

You can customize the operation of two LEDs on the meter’s front panel: the kWh Pulse –

LED and the Alarm LED.

kWh Pulse –LED

By default, the middle green LED on the meter’s front panel is factory configured to be an energy pulser. Like solid-state relay output DO4, the kWh Pulser –LED is controlled by a Calibration Pulser module that has its Source input linked to the kW del+rec output of the Arithmetic module labeled “del, rec.” (This Arithmetic module is linked to the MU Power Meter module’s MU kW tot output.). The LED port outputs a pulse for every 1.8 Wh accumulated (in both NORMAL and TEST mode).

Changing the value for the Kt setup register of the controlling Calibration Pulser module lets you modify the pulsing rate of either channel. If you want to configure the LED port for a different pulsing application, you must re-link the Source input to the output register of a different instantaneous power quantity in one of the Arithmetic modules in the Demand Framework. Ensure that the quantity you choose originates from the MU (meter units) Power Meter module.

Alarm LED

The red (bottom) LED on the front panel of the meter is provided for custom applications. It can be linked to a framework to provide notification to any event. Possible applications include sag/swell alarming, setpoint annunciation, and tariff notification. Like all the other outputs on the meter, this port can be controlled by a Digital Output, Pulser, or Calibration Pulser module.
