The MiniCloset-5c is typically part of a comprehensive metering system within residential,
commercial, industrial or mixed-use sites. (See Figure 1-2 for a typical Quadlogic PLC
metering system.) This metering system measures electrical usage for each tenant
(customer), cost center, or common area space, and communicates this metering data over
the power distribution wires. A metering system is comprised of two or more Quadlogic
electricity meters and at least one Quadlogic Scan Transponder-5 (ST-5), which is
Quadlogic’s data collector and concentrator. The ST-5 collects metering data for up to 240
metering points via the power lines. Large sites may require additional ST-5s. Multiple ST-
5’s are typically interconnected via a data link network using RS-485 or via a wireless
network.
