ASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1.1 Description of the device The three-phase energy meters WM3-6, WM3M6 (MID certified) are intended for energy measurements in three-phase electrical power network and can be used in residential, industrial and utility applications. Meters measure energy directly in 4-wire networks according to the principle of fast sampling of voltage and current signals.
ASIC DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1.2 Three-phase energy meters application Energy meters have built-in optical (IR) communication port on the side as a standard. Special WM-USB adapter (size 1 DIN module) can easily be attached to it. It can be used for direct communication with a PC to change settings of devices without any communication installed.

FIRST STEPS 3 FIRST STEPS Programming a three-phase electrical energy meter WM3x6 is very transparent and user friendly. Numerous settings are organized in groups according to their functionality. In this chapter you will find basic programming steps: NDIVIDUAL PHASE MEASUREMENT UNIT ISPLAY OF DEVICE INFO OFTWARE FUNCTIONS LCD U...
FIRST STEPS 3.1 Individual phase measurement unit The microprocessor is used to process the voltage and current samples from the AD converter. It calculates the RMS voltage, RMS current, active and reactive power, U-I phase angle, first harmonic of voltage, first harmonic of current, the DC voltage, DC current, peak to peak voltage, peak to peak current, THD of voltage and THD of current.
FIRST STEPS For MID approved meters only active energy is approved – non resettable counters. The approved active energy counters are coded with the following codes: 1110 – Import Active Power, Tariff 1 1120 – Import Active Power, Tariff 2 1130 –...
MID meters). Password Level 2 – enables all available settings and resets. If meter password is forgotten, device serial number should be sent to Iskra, d.d. to receive device default password. WM3-6 supports MODBUS protocol. RTU mode is used. RTU messages start and end with a silent interval of at least 3,5 character times (t1-t2-t3-t4 as shown below).
FIRST STEPS 3.4 LCD User Interface The LCD display allows displaying the following measurement values: Four Energy registers: Energy counter 1 (mandatory) Energy counter 2 III. Energy counter 3 IV. Energy counter 4 Actual measured values: Active Power, total, ph1, ph2, ph3 Reactive Power, total, ph1, ph2, ph3 III.

FIRST STEPS 3.4.3 Set device ModBus address Non configured devices have the same factory Modbus address set to 33. One of the options for changing the Modbus address is the following. Holding the button for more than 6 seconds, the energy meter will switch to Modbus address configuration mode (you will see the screen below).
Page 31
FIRST STEPS 3.5.1 Limit A User can set the ON state of an output A, when the threshold is reached (any from the above specified measured values can be set as a threshold). Likewise the OFF state can be set, when the same measured value falls below the OFF state threshold.
Page 32
FIRST STEPS Limit A AND Limit B Limit A AND Limit B is a logical operation, which sets the output A AND B ON, when both output A and output B are in ON. Figure below (example 3) shows the example of output A AND B being ON. For clearer picture refer also to output A (example 1) and output B (example 2) figures.

FIRST STEPS 3.6 Freeze counters 3.6.1 Meaning Since WM3-6 energy meter does not support internaly synchronised real-time clock (RTC) for the purpose of simultaneous capture of measurements, the freeze function is implemented. Use is enabled only when the meter is on. Freeze function enables using WM3x6 smart meters for billing or sub-billing purposes and to compare sub-metering data with main energy meter.
Page 36
FIRST STEPS 3.6.5 Status register of freeze (41905) The purpose of the status register is to test the reliability of RS485 communication. Enter the broadcast command of different identification codes between 1 to FFFD in the freeze status register (41905). Repeatedly send a different identification code to the freeze status register (41905) in order to increase the reliability of receiving commands.

A user-friendly interface consists of five segments: devices management (Connection), instrument settings (Settings), real-time measurements (Measurements), data analysis (Analysis), and software upgrading (Upgrades).
Page 39
SETTINGS MiQen version 2.1 or higher is required for programming and monitoring WM3x6. Software installation is stored on a CD as a part of consignment or it can be downloaded from https://www.iskra.eu/en/Iskra- Software/MiQen-Settings-Studio/ PLEASE NOTE MiQen has very intuitive help system. All functions and settings are described in Info window on the bottom of MiQen window.

SETTINGS Set device Modbus address number Each device connected to a network has its unique Modbus address number. In order co communicate with that device an appropriate address number should be set. Factory default Modbus address for all devices is 33. Therefore it is required to change Modbus address number of devices if they are connected in the network so each device will have its unique address number.
