Minimum/Maximum values
When any one-second real-time reading reaches its highest or lowest value, the
meter saves the minimum and maximum values in its nonvolatile memory.
From the meter display, you can:
• View all minimum/maximum values since the last reset and the reset date and
time
• Reset minimum/maximum values
All running minimum/maximum values are arithmetic minimum and maximum
values. For example, the minimum phase A-N voltage is the lowest value in the
range from 0 to 1 MV that has occurred since last reset of the minimum/maximum
values.
The meter provides time stamping for 6 minimum/maximum values.
The following table lists the minimum and maximum values stored in the meter:

Demand calculation methods

Power demand is the energy accumulated during a specified period divided by the
length of the period. Current demand is calculated using arithmetical integration of
the current RMS values during a time period, divided by the length of the period.
How the meter performs this calculation depends on the selected method. To be
compatible with electric utility billing practices, the meter provides the block
interval power/current demand calculations.
For block interval demand calculations, you select a block of time (interval) that
the meter uses for the demand calculation and the mode the meter uses to handle
the interval. 2 different modes are possible:
• Fixed block - Select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1 minute
increments). The meter calculates and updates the demand at the end of
each interval.
1. Available only through communications

2. Available only on the display
18 DOCA0006EN-07
• Sliding block - Select an interval from the range 10, 15, 20, 30, 60 minutes.
For demand intervals less than 15 minutes, the value is updated every 15
seconds. For demand intervals of 15 minutes and greater, the demand value
is updated every 60 seconds. The meter displays the demand value for the
last completed interval.
The following figures illustrate the 2 ways to calculate demand power using the
block method. For illustration purposes, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

Peak demand
In nonvolatile memory, the meter maintains a maximum operating demand values
called peak demand. The peak is the highest value (absolute value) for each of
these readings since the last reset.
You can reset peak demand values from the meter display. You should reset peak
demand after changes to basic meter setup such as CT ratio or power system
configuration.
Energy readings
The meter calculates and stores total and partial energy values for active energy,
reactive energy, and apparent energy.
You can view energy values from the display. The resolution of the energy value
automatically changes from kWh to MWh (kVAh to MVARh).
The energy values automatically resets to 0 when it reaches the limit of 1 x 106
MWh, 1 x 106 MVAh, or 1 x 106 MVARh. Manual reset of total energy is not
allowed. You can reset the partial energy values including partial energy import,
energy by tariff, and phase energy manually using the display.
Energy values can be reported over communications as 64-bit signed integers.
The units are always Wh, VARh, or VAh.
The following table lists the energy readings from the meter:

Power quality analysis values

The power quality analysis values use the following abbreviations:
• HC (Harmonic Content) =
• H1 = Fundamental Content
• THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) = HC/H1 X 100%
THD provides a measure of the total distortion present in a waveform. THD is the
ratio of harmonic content to the fundamental and provides a general indication of
the quality of a waveform. THD is calculated for both voltage and current.
The following table lists the power quality values of the meter:

efficiently.
3. Available only through communications
20 DOCA0006EN-07
You can view energy values and read data by scanning the QR Code displayed on
the meter screen. The dynamically generated QR Code contains a URL that

Alarms configuration
For the standard alarms, you must configure the following features by using the
display or communication:
• Pickup setpoint
• Trigger delay (Pickup/Dropout delay)
• Dropout setpoint (Deviation percentage from pickup setpoint)
Among the standard alarms, dropout setpoint and trigger delay are common
features of all the alarms. Pickup setpoint is identical for each alarm.
For more information on how the meter handles the setpoint-driven alarms, refer
to the following figure:
A The value of the variable monitored by the alarm.
B Trigger delay (Pickup or Dropout delay)

NOTE: The time delay is satisfied only if during the delay, the actual
Pickup setpoint value does not fall between the pickup setpoint and dropout setpoint.
Dropout setpoint
C An alarm is active. The meter records the date, time, and value when the
pickup setpoint and time delay are satisfied. The meter performs any tasks
assigned to the event such as: switching on a digital output, and flashing the
backlight or the alarm symbol.
Time
D Alarm period
E An alarm is inactive when both the dropout setpoint and the time delay are
satisfied. The meter performs any tasks assigned to the event such as
switching off a digital output, and ceasing to flash the backlight and the alarm
symbol.
For the Over Energy alarm, you also need to configure the method, which refers to
the energy accumulation and detection period.
The 3 options are:
• Day method: the energy accumulation starts at 8:00 A.M. every day and
clears up at 8:00 A.M. the next day.
• Week method: the energy accumulation starts at 8:00 A.M. every Sunday and
clears up at 8:00 A.M. the next Sunday.
• Month method: the energy accumulation starts at 8:00 A.M. on the first day of
the month and clears up at 8:00 A.M. on the first day of the next month.
When the accumulated energy pickup setpoint and time delay are satisfied, the
alarm is active. When the accumulated energy dropout setpoint and time delay are
satisfied, the alarm is inactive.
22 DOCA0006EN-07
Viewing alarm status on the display

The alarm status summary page includes the following items:
• Tot Enable: displays total number of the alarms enabled by the user in the
alarm configuration.
• Tot Active: displays total number of the active alarms. One active alarm with
several entries is considered as one. For example, over current at phase 1
creates the first entry, over current at phase 2 creates the second entry, but
the total number of the active alarms is one.
• Output: refers to the association with digital output (DO).
The alarm level 2 page lists the number of entries of the active and logged alarms.
The logged alarm entries include the active alarms and the historic alarms. One
alarm that has occurred several times can create several active or logged entries.
The alarm level 3 page lists the detailed information of each active/log entry.
NOTE: When an active alarm is not present and you enter the log entry list,
the meter considers that you have acknowledged all the logged alarms.
Alarm activity and history

The active alarm list holds 20 entries at a time. The list works as a circular buffer,
replacing the oldest entries with the newest entries. The information in the active
alarm list is volatile. When the meter resets, this list is reinitialized.
The alarm history log holds 20 entries of alarms that have disappeared. The log
also works as a circular buffer. This information is non-volatile.
Using an alarm to control a digital output

You can associate a digital output with an alarm. Refer to Input/output capabilities,
page 23 for more information.

is performed by applying a proper combination of ON or OFF signal to the
inputs. Each combination of ON or OFF signal results in the meter registering
the energy in a particular tariff register. Refer to the following table for input
coding.
• Input metering: You can configure the meter in input metering modes to
collect the pulses for WAGES application. To activate this function, set the
input metering pulse frequency (pulse/unit). The meter counts the number of
pulses and calculates the number of units. Pulse width or pulse stop less than
10 ms is invalid for pulse counting.
• Energy reset: Energy reset function resets partial energy, energy by tariff, and
energy by phase. Reset is activated by an ON signal lasting for over 10 ms.
The following table describes the input coding in binary format:
Input voltage Active tariff
Meter with 4 tariffs:

DI1/DI2 = OFF/OFF Tariff 1 active
DI1/DI2 = OFF/ON Tariff 2 active
DI1/DI2 = ON/OFF Tariff 3 active
DI1/DI2 = ON/ON Tariff 4 active
Meter with 2 tariffs:
(Always associated with DI1, and DI2 can be left floating or configured as other mode)
DI1 = OFF Tariff 1 active

DI1 = ON Tariff 2 active
Pulse output (PM3210)

Pulse output is used for active energy pulse output only. You can configure the
pulse frequency (pulse/kWh) and the pulse width. The minimum pulse width is 50
ms. The pulse stop is equal or longer than the pulse width. The pulse output
indicates the primary energy consumption considering transformer ratios. You
should set a proper value of pulse frequency and pulse width to avoid pulse
missing due to over-counting.
Digital outputs (PM3255)

The meter has 2 solid-state relay outputs (DO1 and DO2). The relay outputs have
4 operation modes:
• Alarm: The output is controlled by the meter in response to an alarm
condition. The output turns ON (relay closed) when at least one alarm is
active. The output turns OFF (relay open) when the alarm is deactivated.
• Energy Output: You can use DO1 only for active energy pulse output and
DO2 only for reactive energy pulse output. You can configure the pulse
frequency (pulse/kWh or pulse/kVARh) and the pulse width.
• Disable: The digital output function is disabled.
• External: The output is controlled by the meter in response to a command
21000.
Multi-tariff
The meter provides multi-tariff energy accumulation. It supports up to 4 tariffs.
24 DOCA0006EN-07
The tariff switching has the following 3 kinds of control modes:

• Digital input
• Communication
• Internal real-time clock (RTC)
You can configure the control mode by using the display (all the 3 modes) or by
using communication (not for RTC).
Command number 2060 is used to configure the control mode by communication.
Refer Communication via Modbus section for more details.
The following table presents the rules to change multi-tariff control mode by
Modbus command:
From To
Disable Communication
Digital input
RTC Communication
Communication Disable
DI control mode (PM3255)

In the DI control mode, the tariff switching is triggered by the change in input
status of DI. Refer Digital inputs (PM3255), page 23 for more details.
NOTE:
• If you change DI mode to other operation modes (normal input status,
input metering, or energy reset) while multi-tariff control mode is in DI
control mode, the multi-tariff function is automatically disabled.
• If you change multi-tariff control mode to other control modes
(communication or internal RTC) while DI is configured for multi-tariff
function, the DI operation mode automatically changes to normal input
status.
Communication control mode (PM3250 / PM3255)

In the communication control mode, the tariff switching is triggered by command
number 2008. Refer Communication via Modbus section for more details.
Real-time clock (RTC) control mode

In RTC control mode, the tariff switching is triggered by the real-time clock.
You can configure RTC control mode by using the display. The configuration
includes the selection of schedule mode and the setup of 1 or 2 schedulers
depending on the schedule modes.
The 2 schedule modes for RTC trigger are:
• Day mode: weekdays and weekend share the same peak and peak-off
duration and only 1 scheduler should be set.
• Week mode: the tariff management of weekdays and weekends are
controlled separately, and 2 schedulers should be set.
DOCA0006EN-07 25
Weekdays Weekend
Day mode
Week
mode
A scheduler supports a maximum of 4 time segments (Ta, Tb, Tc, and Td) for
maximum 4 tariffs (T1, T2, T3, and T4). You can assign Ta, Tb, Tc, or Td to any
tariff if any adjacent time segment has a different tariff. A valid scheduler always
starts from Ta segment, and skipping time segments is not allowed.
In the setup of a schedule, you should define the tariff switching time for each
target tariff. In the application, when the set switching time is reached, the tariff
switches automatically.
Data logging (PM3255)

Energy log
The meter provides energy logs. Energy day log can be read as a log file. The 3
types of energy log can be read as registers.
The following table lists the maximum number of entries of each log:
Log type Maximum entries stored
Energy log (daily) 45
Energy log (weekly) 30
Energy log (monthly) 13
The meter has the log for accumulated active energy.

The energy log entry structure is shown in the following table:
Log Entry Log date / time 4 registers Energy value 4 registers
The 3 log types are:

• Day: The log interval is 1 day. The logging occurs at 8:00 A.M. every day and
the accumulated active energy for the previous 24 hours is logged.
• Week: The log interval is 1 week. The logging occurs at 8:00 A.M. every
Sunday and the accumulated active energy for the previous week is logged.
• Month: The log interval is 1 month. The logging occurs at 8:00 A.M. on the
first day of each month and the accumulated active energy for the previous
month is logged.
You must use the display to configure the energy log. The day log, week log, and
month log are enabled or disabled together during the configuration. However, the
26 DOCA0006EN-07
energy accumulation always starts from the fixed log time instead of the time of
log enabled.
You can access day log, week log, and month log by reading the registers.
NOTE:
• If the date/time is not set by the user after the date/time resets due to
previous power interruption, energy keeps accumulating. After the date/
time is set and the log time is reached, all the accumulated energy is
written into the log.
• If you reset the date, the log entries with log date after the reset date are
not erased.
• When the log time is reached, the meter checks the enable/disable status
of the energy log. The meter logs the accumulated energy if the status is
enabled and discards if the status is disabled. The accumulated energy
resets to 0.
• The energy log is circular. If the number of the log entries exceeds the
maximum, the oldest log entries are overwritten.
Flex log
The meter has the following list of flex logs:
Log type Maximum entries stored
Flex log (power demand log) 4608
Flex log (KWH_KVAH) 2336
Flex log (KWH_KVARH) 2336
Flex log (KVARH_KVAH) 2336
Flex log (KWH_KW) 2336
Flex log (KWH_KVA) 2336
The following table describes the flex log types and format. The date and time
recorded in the log are accurate as per the meter's internal clock.
Flex Log (KWH_KVAH / KWH_KVARH / KVARH_KVAH / KWH_KW / KWH_KVA)
Log type Log date/time Log value1 Log value2
KWH_KVAH 4 registers 2 registers (KWH) 2 registers (KVAH)
KWH_KVARH 4 registers 2 registers (KWH) 2 registers (KVARH)
KVARH_KVAH 4 registers 2 registers (KVARH) 2 registers (KVAH)
KWH_KW 4 registers 2 registers (KWH) 2 registers (KW)
KWH_KVA 4 registers 2 registers (KWH) 2 registers (KVA)
The first 4 registers of the record provide the timestamp, the next 2 registers
provide the first value (for example, kWh in the KWH_KVAH flex log), and the last
2 registers provide the second value (for example, kVAh in the KWH_KVAH flex
log).
The data format of the values from the flex log depends on the values you
configured the flex log to provide.
• Energy values are provided in Float32
• Peak demand values are provided in Float32
DOCA0006EN-07 27
NOTE:
• Only one flex log can be selected at a time. For example, you can log
either power demand or KWH_KVAH, not both.
• Synchronize the time on the meter regularly to avoid incorrect flex log
timestamp values. To synchronize the time, use ION Setup.

PM3200 series Power, energy and power factor
Power, energy and power factor

Power (PQS)
A typical AC electrical system load has both resistive and reactive (inductive or
capacitive) components. Resistive loads consume real power (P) and reactive
loads consume reactive power (Q).
Apparent power (S) is the vector sum of real power (P) and reactive power (Q):
S= P2 + Q2
Real power is measured in watt (W or kW), reactive power is measured in var

(VAR or kVAR) and apparent power is measured in volt-amp (VA or kVA).
Power and the PQ coordinate system

The meter uses the values of real power (P) and reactive power (Q) on the PQ
coordinate system to calculate apparent power.

Power flow
Positive power flow P(+) and Q(+) means power is flowing from the power source
towards the load. Negative power flow P(-) and Q(-) means power is flowing from
the load towards the power source.
Energy delivered (imported) / energy received (exported)

The meter interprets energy delivered (imported) or received (exported) according
to the direction of real power (P) flow.
Energy delivered (imported) means positive real power flow (+P) and energy
received (exported) means negative real power flow (-P).

Power factor (PF)

Power factor (PF) is the ratio of real power (P) to apparent power (S).
PF is provided as a number between -1 and 1 or as a percentage from -100% to
100%, where the sign is determined by the convention.
P
PF = —
S
A purely resistive load has no reactive components, so its power factor is 1 (PF =
1, or unity power factor). Inductive or capacitive loads introduce a reactive power
(Q) component to the circuit which causes the PF to become closer to zero.
True PF
True power factor includes harmonic content.
PF lead / lag convention

The meter correlates leading power factor (PF lead) or lagging power factor (PF
lag) with whether the current waveform is leading or lagging the voltage waveform.
Current phase shift from voltage

For purely resistive loads the current waveform is in phase with the voltage
waveform. For capacitive loads, current leads voltage. For inductive loads, current
lags voltage.

NOTE: The lagging or leading distinction does NOT equate to a positive or
negative value. Rather, lagging corresponds to an inductive load, while
leading corresponds to a capacitive load.

PF sign convention
The meter shows positive or negative power factor according to IEC standards.
PF sign in IEC
The meter correlates power factor sign (PF sign) with the direction of real power
(P) flow.
• For positive real power (+P), the PF sign is positive (+).
• For negative real power (-P), the PF sign is negative (-).

Power factor register format

The meter performs a simple algorithm to the PF value then stores it in the PF
register.
Each power factor value (PF value) occupies one floating point register for power
factor (PF register). The meter and software interpret the PF register for all
reporting or data entry fields according to the following diagram:
DOCA0006EN-07 73
-0.5 +0.5
-1 ≤ PF < 0 0 ≤ PF ≤ 1
-1 +1
-1 < PF < 0 0 < PF < 1
