HW group introduces Perseus Energy 242

HW group launches another addition to the Perseus platform and the third monitoring device from the Energy family - Perseus Energy 242.

The Perseus Energy 242 is a compact, universally mounting device that offers LAN connectivity for remote monitoring and control of energy consumption via the M-Bus Master.

Perseus Energy 242 is a LAN device in metal case for environmental monitoring of a site of any size and complexity. Up to 100 external meters (and sensors) with 1000 values (variables) can be connected.

Within one metal unit there are 4 1W-UNI (RJ11) ports, 2 DI (Digital Inputs) with S0 pulse counters, RS-485 (Modbus/RTU), one WLD (Water Leak Detection) zone input, an M-Bus Master input, and 1 DO (Relay Outputs).

Perseus Energy 242 can only be powered from 24V. Therefore, power out terminal block provides 24V.

The combination of the RS-485 physical interface on the Perseus Energy 242, M-Bus Master and Modbus-RTU Meters API allows data to be read from third party electricity/gas/water meters, UPS or air conditioning products.

Perseus Energy 242 has a WLD zone input and 1 relay output that can be controlled via the device’s interface or according to the value of a connected sensor or detector, for example to control air conditioning, ventilation, automatic doors, etc.

Features: 

  • Ethernet: RJ45 (100BASE-T); WEB: Built-in web server
