The MIPS AC 220 controller is used as a means of monitoring automation, providing the process of separate measurement of network parameters for three phases. This action is realized by means of a Hall sensor. MIPS AC 220 is used in three-phase three-wire and four-wire networks with a frequency of 50 Hz. Analyzer of power network parameters MIPS AC 220 works as a slave element in industrial automation.
What MIPS-220V(AC) Measures
The controller measures the main parameters of a three-phase power supply on three voltage and three current channels — one per phase:- phase and line voltage;
- current in each phase;
- active, reactive and apparent power — in the range from 2.5 W to 26,600 W;
- mains frequency.
The main functional capabilities of the device “MIPS-220V(AC)”:
- monitoring of voltage and DC up to six independent channels via RS485 interface;
- use of non-contact current sensors in current measuring channels, provides ease of connections and allows to cover a wide range of currents;
- solid-state relay for signaling the occurrence of a programmed event;
- possibility to integrate the MIPS220 device into the automated information and measurement system of commercial electricity metering;
- possibility to configure the device via RS485 interface through the program “Element Manager MIPS220” locally or remotely;
- DIN-rail mounting.
Current sensors, which are installed directly on the cable and connected to MIPS220 with their measurement output. The bipolar voltage required to power the sensors is formed by the power supply, which is included in the device.
Where It Is Used
- Power supply monitoring of remote sites — telecom cabinets, technical rooms and other equipment where voltage and load must be watched without a person on site.
- Technical diagnostics — finding overloads, phase imbalance and voltage deviations in an existing installation.
- Facility automation — MIPS-220V(AC) works as a slave device: a controller or SCADA reads its data over RS-485.
- Commercial electricity metering systems — integration into an automated information and measuring system (AIMSCEM).
Installation and Configuration
The controller is mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. Current is measured by non-contact sensors placed directly on the cables, so the power circuit does not have to be broken during installation. The device supplies power to the sensors itself. Data is read over RS-485 with galvanic isolation at 9600 bps; settings are changed in the Element Manager MIPS220 software, locally or remotely over the same interface.Frequently Asked Questions
What does the MIPS-220V(AC) controller measure?
It measures phase and line voltage, current in each of the three phases, active, reactive and apparent power and mains frequency in three-phase three-wire and four-wire networks. The measured power range is 2.5 W to 26,600 W.
Do I need to disconnect cables to install it?
No. Current is measured by non-contact sensors installed directly on the cables, so the power circuit is not broken. The controller itself is mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail.
How is it connected to a monitoring system?
Over RS-485 at 9600 bps. The controller works as a slave device: a data acquisition controller or SCADA system polls it, and the data can be passed to an automated electricity metering system. Settings are made in the Element Manager MIPS220 software.
What power supply does it need?
A DC supply: from 8 to 60 V on the main contacts or from 6 to 15 V. Maximum current consumption is 90 mA.
