USE OF POWER QUALITY METERS IN A MANUFACTURING PLANT

How Mini EnMs APP works

• Mini EnMs App makes it possible to view real time and historic measurement value data of master and slave meters in graphs right from your energy meter.
• The master device collects the data from the connected slave devices and displays them on its own homepage.
• The app has been designed for small applications without a GridVis-use!
• Can connect and record data from up to 16 slave devices.
