powerconfig
Note
Relevant only for devices with an RS 485 interface.
The powerconfig software is the combined commissioning and service tool for
communication-capable measuring devices and circuit breakers from the SENTRON family.
The PC-based tool facilitates parameterization of the devices by saving a great deal of time, in
particular when several devices have to be set up.
You can use powerconfig to parameterize and operate the measuring devices via various
communication interfaces, and to document and monitor measured values.
