1. Description

Expert Power Meter (EPM) is a 19" device, that makes it possible to measure energy consumption for two channels.

It operates as an energy consumption meter and measures current, voltage and active/apparent power. All of these information can be requested by Ethernet or directly at the device.

The energy consumption meter measures the spent energy on two counters, one shows the total energy consumption since starting-up EPM, the other counter is resettable.

2. Hardware

2.1 Extent of delivery

Included in delivery are:

• Expert Power Meter (EPM)
• Power supply cable (IEC)
• CD-ROM containing Software and Manua

2.2 Starting up the device

1.) Connect the power supply cable to the EPM Power Connector on the back side of Expert Power Meter.
Your EPM is now booting and shortly after ready for being connected to consumers and the Ethernet.
2.) Plug the Ethernet cable into the connector on the front side of EPM.
3.) Connect the power cable of one or both consumers to the power-out connectors on the back side of EPM.

If a consumer is active, EPM will automatically start to count the energy consumption.

2.4 Status LED

The Status LED (8) shows different states of the device:

• Status LED red: Device is not connected to the ethernet
• Status LED orange: Device is connected to the ethernet, TCP/IP settings are not allocated
• Status LED green: Device is connected to the ethernet, TCP/IP settings allocated, device is ready to use
• Status LED blinks alternately red and green : Device is in Bootloader mode.

3. Confi guration

3.1 Automatic configuration by using DHCP

After power-up, EPM looks for a DHC server in the network and requests a free IP address from this server.

Please check at your DHCP server, which IP address was provided to EPM and make sure, that this IP address will reserved.

3.2 Configuration by using Gbl\_Conf.exe

To change the TCP/IP settings of your EPM you need the tool Gbl_Conf.exe. This tool can be found on the CD-ROM or is free to download from our website www.gude.infc.

Additionally you can update the firmware, deactivate password and IP ACL and set EPM back to default settings, when you use this tool (see more in chapter 5).

To check the current configuration, please choose your EPM from the list in the left window.

If the displayed IP address is the default IP addre (192.168.0.2) no DHCP server is located in your network or it was not possible to provide a free IP address to EPM.

In this case, activate the bootloader mode of EPM and enter a valid IP address and the network mask. Save your confi guration Program Devic→Save Confi.

Deactivate the bootloader mode of EPM. Then choose Search→All Devices to refresh the status of Gbl_Conf.exe.

Now Gbl_Conf.exe shows the updated TCP/IP configuration of EPM.

3.4 IP Access Control List

IP Access Control List (IP ACL) acts as an IP filter EPM. Wether it is active hosts and subnets only can contact EPM, if their IP adresses are stated in this IP ACL.

e.g.: „http://192.168.0.1“ or „http://192.168.0.1/24“

If you locked yourself out by mistake, please activate the bootloader mode of EPM, start Gbl_Conf.exe and deactivate IF ACL.

You can find more information about configuration of IP ACL in chapter 3.3 or have a look at www.gude.info/wiki.

3.5 SNMP

To get detailed status information of EPM SNMP can be used. SNMP communicates via UDP (port 161) with EPM:

Supported SNMP commands:

• SNMPGET: request status information
• SNMPGETNEXT: request the next status information

You will need a Network Management System, e.g. HP-Op View, OpenNMS, Nagios etc., or the command line tools of NE ^™ SNMP to request information of EPM via SNMP

SNMP Communities

SNMP authentifi es requests by so called communities The public community has to be added to SNMP-read-requests and the private community to SNMP write requests. You can set the SNMP communities like read/write passwords. SNMP v1 and v2 transmit the communities without encryption. Therefore it is simple to spy out these communities. We recommend to use a DMZ or IP ACL.

MIBs

All information, that can be requested or changed, the so called „Managed Objects“, are described in „Management Information Bases“ (MIBs)

There are three MIBs, which can be requested from EPM:

„gadsepm“ (GUDEADS-EPM-MIB="gadsepm") was created especially for EPM.

At least, there are so called Object Identifiers (OID) subordinated to those three structures. An OID describes the location of an information inside a MIB.

You can find more information about configuration of SNMP in chapter 3.3 or have a look at www.gude.info/wiki.

3.6 Syslog

Syslog messages are simple text messages transmitted to a syslog server using UDP

Linux OS regularly have a syslog daemon installed, e.g. syslog-ng. For Windows there are some freeware tools available.

On following events, EPM will send a syslog message:

• Booting up
• Switching off
• Activation/deactivation of syslog
• Load more than 10 A, load again less than 10 A

You can find more information about configuration of Syslog in chapter 3.3 or have a look at www.gude.info/wik.

To activate the Bootloader mode of your EPM press the buttons „select“ and „ok“ simultaneously for three seconds.

Whether EPM is in Bootloader mode, you can see by using the Gbl_Conf.exε: „BOOT-LDR“ is added to the host name of your EPM. Moreover the status LED blinks regularly and the following information is shown on the LCD-Panel:

Bootloader V X.X „Current IP Address“

While your EPM is in Bootloader mode you can update the firmware, deactivate IP ACL and passwords and reset the device to fab settings.

To deactivate the Bootloader mode, press the buttons ,select" and "ok" again simultaneously for three seconds.

5.2 Firmware update

To update the firmware EPM, you need the software too Gbl_Conf.exe and an up-to-date version of the firmware
