PQM – The Power Quality Manager

With the new PQM 3.0 as the central unit, all requirements for monitoring energy and power quality parameters are met. Version 3.0 stands out with higher processing power while consuming less energy, providing greater reliability and improved security when processing critical energy data. Enhanced communication options now include support for the MQTT and InfluxDB protocols, in addition to the reliable OPC-UA server and REST interface. This further improves access to cloud systems and IoT capability. The update of the operating system ensures the FRAKO data acquisition system remains future-proof.

PQM – Unbeatable Communication

The NEW PQM – Flexible and Powerful:

  • Easy operation, integration, and configuration
  • ModBus and pulse inputs
  • M-Bus via external gateways
  • OPC-UA, REST interface, MQTT
  • Data export to an external InfluxDB
  • Web server
  • Threshold monitoring for each data point
  • Comprehensive alarm management
  • High protection against cyber attacks
  • Modern processor technology
  • Future-proof with update capability
  • EMVIS 3000 software for EN 50001 included, eligible for BAFA funding

Key Features at a Glance:

To actively shape the digital transformation, the PQM has been equipped with new output protocols that make it easy to connect to external IoT cloud services.

Increased IT and cybersecurity demands require closing discovered vulnerabilities quickly. The PQM’s easy update system makes this simple, ensuring that comprehensive function expansions are continuously developed to keep the PQM current and ready for new energy market needs.

Businesses are constantly evolving. While the PQM is designed as a data collector, it offers much more. It can also be used as a fieldbus extension, gateway (Fieldbus <-> TCP, Fieldbus <-> Fieldbus), or as an input for pulse meters. Its advanced, fully configurable alarm management system allows all values captured by the PQM to be compared to threshold limits, enabling corresponding actions. Applications include leak detection, temperature monitoring (e.g., transformers), and equipment failure detection.

Energy consumption has been reduced while computing power has increased. As a central data acquisition system, the new PQM offers significant potential for future developments.
