General Description
The SMC 144 is specially designed for remote monitoring of energy consumption and its quality. The DIN rail
display-less design with multiple communication options is suitable for a wide spectrum of automation tasks in
modern buildings, remote supervision of the infrastructure and also remote load management. Absence of local
panel controls (display and keyboard) limits possibilities for hostile user interaction. For advanced protection,
the configuration of SMC 144 can be also locked by a pin.
It is equipped with four voltage inputs and four inputs for external through-hole or clamp-on current sensors
for direct measuring up to 600 A nominal current. It uses serial communication and peripherals, such as digital
inputs and output, secondary serial communication interface for external I/O modules or ethernet module can
be optionally assembled. There are three LEDs for device status indication and alarm monitoring.
