Anonymous scenario
Factory Energy Meter RS485 Collection
An anonymous factory scenario collecting RS485 energy meter data for remote energy monitoring.
Anonymized buyer
A facility team comparing energy data collection options across panels.
Challenge
The buyer wanted submeter visibility but had different panels, CT ranges and an existing operations platform.
Site context
- Multiple electrical panels
- RS485 meters and CTs under review
- Energy data needed for operations reporting
Approach
- Confirm phase and CT range before meter selection
- Group meters by RS485 bus where practical
- Define gateway output for the customer platform
Hardware plan
- DIN rail or multifunction energy meters
- Split-core CTs
- RS485 gateway
- Optional temperature or cabinet status sensor
Integration path
- Modbus RTU meter polling
- Modbus TCP or MQTT gateway output
- Data fields aligned with facility reporting
Outcome
- The buyer could compare meter count and panel layout first
- Gateway scope was separated from dashboard ownership
- The RFQ became specific enough for sample and pilot pricing
Quote inputs
- Panel layout
- Meter count and phase type
- CT ratio
- Platform protocol and reporting interval
