Precise acquisition and monitoring of
energy
The new Sentron PAC3200 power monitoring device from Siemens Automation and Drives precisely acquires the current, voltage and energy values of loads in industrial and utility buildings
The device thus creates the necessary transparency for operators to reduce energy costs and operating costs Sentron PAC3200 is suitable for use direct in 690-volt industrial systems and it can take single-phase, two-phase or three-phase measurements

Safety controller suits Category 4 applications
Siemens has a powerful new fail-safe CPU for its Simatic-S7 300 controllers, suitable for use in safety-critical applications conforming to Categories 1 to 4 (EN 954-1) or SIL 1 to 3 (IEC 61508)
Higher voltages can also be measured using voltage transducers.
Thanks to the high level of measuring accuracy in accordance with IEC62053-22, the device can also be used as a meter for company-internal billing.
By virtue of its compact design, the Sentron PAC3200 is a suitable replacement for all conventional analogue indicating instruments.
Using the multi-language plaintext displays and the four function keys, users can operate the device easily and select between monitoring, diagnostics and setting functions in the display menu.
The current values of the individual measurements as well as the min/max values can thus be easily read.
In addition, the active and reactive energy counter provides further information and the working hours counter serves as a runtime control for the connected loads.
Integral digital inputs and one output can be used for control and signaling tasks or for energy metering (S0).
An optionally available expansion module for connecting to Profibus DP is used for communication.
Users can parameterise the device direct onsite or remotely via the communications interface.
In a higher-level power management system, the measured data of the Sentron PAC3200 can be assigned and analysed down to the level of individual loads.
The transparency thus achieved enables users to reduce their operating costs.
