SECTION 5— INPUT/OUTPUT CAPABILITIES
DIGITAL INPUTS The power meter can accept two digital inputs designated as S1 and S2. A
digital input is used to detect digital signals. For example, the digital input
can be used to determine circuit breaker status, count pulses, or count
motor starts.
The power meter counts OFF-to-ON transitions for each input, and you can
reset this value using the command interface or by performing a METER
reset under MAINT. Figure 5– 1 shows the status of the I/O function for the
PM750.
The digital input has two operating modes:
• Normal—Use the normal mode for simple ON/OFF digital inputs.
• Demand Interval Synch Pulse—Use this mode to configure a digital
input to accept a demand synch pulse from a utility demand meter.
The digital inputs can also be configured to activate an alarm when
changing status; for example, from OFF to ON. See Alarms on page 27.
Demand Synch Pulse Input You can configure the power meter to accept a demand synch pulse from
an external source such as another demand meter. By accepting demand
synch pulses through a digital input, the power meter can make its power
demand interval “window” match the other meter’s demand interval
“window.” The power meter does this by “watching” the digital input for a
pulse from the other demand meter. When it sees a pulse (an off-to-on
transition of the digital input), it starts a new demand interval and calculates
the demand for the preceding interval. The power meter then uses the same
time interval as the other meter for each demand calculation. Figure 5– 2
illustrates this point.
When in demand synch pulse operating mode, the power meter will not end
a demand interval without a pulse. Either digital input can be set to accept a
demand synch pulse. However, only one of them should be configured that
way at a time.
