Using OPTA with the 7M Series smart energy meters

One of the many applications of OPTA, the Finder PLR is to work in conjunction with the 7M Series smart energy meters.

Among the many applications in which OPTA can be used, working in conjunction with Finder's 7M Series smart energy meters is a valuable tool for the certified monitoring of energy consumption in single-phase, three-phase and Industry 4.0 applications.

The various installation environments in which OPTA can be installed along with energy meters in order to improve resource allocation and optimize their management include garages, campsites, electric vehicle charging stations, machinery and manufacturing plants.

One of the ways OPTA can be used with 7M Series meters is through the RS485 port with Modbus RTU communication protocol, which enables rapid data acquisition. Once acquired, it can be processed through the cloud or smart devices.

Automating energy management with OPTA allows for the creation of customized logic to optimize power usage, selecting, for example, areas where more power is required, or to open (or close) circuits based on specific usage conditions.

In addition, OPTA is a PLR that can detect anomalies or outages, even remotely, ensuring continuous monitoring and the ability to take immediate action on the system.
