The Smart Grid Interface Module (SGIM) is a ready-to-use system to monitor measured electrical values in switch cabinets and cable distribution cabinets. The mechanical design of SGIM is in line with industrial standards and is especially meant to be installed in a 185mm busbar system.

SGIM is built from two main parts: the installation platform and the Smart Grid Interface Module plug-in unit. These contains all necessary control, communication and measurement functions to provide measured data either to a cloud-based data management system or via standard IEC protocols like IEEE 1815 – DNP3, IEC 60870-5-104 and IEC 61850 as well as industrial protocols like OPC/UA.

The device includes a local web server for the visualisation of the acquired data, the configuration of drivers and communication protocols as well as an interface to the WEB-PLC editor

Benefits of the Smart Grid Interface:

• 3-phase measuring and monitoring up to 14 low-voltage connections measurement of voltage, frequency, phase angle, temperature and humidity sensor (basic information) as well as of current, active/reactive/apparent power, electricity meter (information per channel)
• SGIM energy portal with all measurement data as well as device data, device management and remote update
• configurable via Bluetooth
• modem module for mobile communication
• fibre optic cable communication module
• scalable by modular design
• mounting to DIN standard on 185mm rail system of the cabinet or on a mounting wall
• uninterruptible installation with Plug & Play start-up
• investment protection because of retrofitting capability of functions
• data transmission by standard protocols to any third party software (e.g. GridVis)
