Powerlink™ Energy
Management (EM)
Lighting Control System, Relay Panels, and Switches
Class 1210
The Powerlink Energy Management (EM) Lighting Control System incorporates the same features found in the
Powerlink G3 3000 level system, in addition to integral branch circuit and optional main metering for energy
monitoring and verification of the lighting system. Integral metering is accomplished using the PowerLogic™
Branch Circuit Power Meter (BCPM), which is a highly accurate, full-featured multi-branch circuit power meter that
provides unrivalled low-current monitoring.
The Powerlink G3 system reduces electrical energy consumption associated with lighting and other loads by
automatically switching loads off during non-occupied periods. The Powerlink G3 system is often ideal for reducing
th epeak demand by switching unnecessary lights off in response to an automated response signal or when high
time-of-day energy tariffs occur.
Features
• Integral individual and optional mains metering to provide utmost flexibility in assurng a sustainable metering and
verification program
• Monitors current, voltage, energy consumption, demand, and power factor for complete energy profiling
• Accumulated metering information transmitted via Modbus communications interface
• Data updates occurring within seconds to provide timely preventative maintenance information
• Optional EGX web interface for storing and reporting data via standard web browser (suggested for applications without
Energy Management System [EMS] software)
• Alarm indication when parameters approach user-configured thresholds
• 16 hard-wired inputs available for connection to devices with physical dry-contacts
• 64 communication inputs available for network connection
• 16 independent time schedules, each can be configured into 24 distinct periods
• 7-day repeating clock with changeable automatic daylight savings time
• Automatic sunrise/sunset tracking with offsets
• 32 special event periods
• 32 remote sources for sharing input status, time schedules, or zone status between controllers
• Full custom logic capabilities, including full Boolean functions and synchronization services
• RS232 and RS485
• Serial communications using Modbus ASCII/RTU, BACnet MS/TP and DMX512 protocols (metering Modbus only)
• Ethernet 10BaseT communications using Modbus TCP and BACnet/IP protocols
a Recommended for application where EMS software monitoring is not provided.
