THE DATAPOINTS WIDGET IS AVAILABLE WITH SMARTSERVER 2.5 AND HIGHER. FOR SMARTSERVER 3.3 AND PRIOR RELEASES, THIS WIDGET IS CALLED THE DATAPOINT BROWSER WIDGET.

For SmartServer 3.3 and prior, see Metering Input (Release 3.3 and Prior).

There are two models of the IOX, one with built-in metering and one without. You can use the metering version of the IOX to monitor power and energy consumption of a one-to-three phase power mains circuit. To monitor power and energy with an IOX, you must first connect a current transformer (CT) per phase to the CT inputs of the IOX. You must also connect each of the phases to be monitored to the line input of the IOX. By default, the IOX is configured for a 3-phase circuit and CTs that output 333mVAC for a 5A load, which is a 5A/333mV CT ratio.

This section describes how to configure the IOX for use with 1, 2, or 3 phases and how to configure for different CT ratios. This section also describes the data reported by the IOX and consists of the following:

Configuring the Number of Phases

You can configure the IOX meter for use with 1, 2, or 3 phase circuits. By default, the IOX meter is configured for a 3-phase system.

To configure the number of IOX meter phases with the CMS Datapoints widget, perform the following steps:

Open the Datapoints widget. Click the Expand button ( ).
Set the Datapoints widget device filter () to show the IOX meter device.

The first installed IOX meter will be iox1.meter, the second will be iox2.meter, and so on.
Click the Action button () for the cpPhaseEnable datapoint and then select the Edit Value action.

The view to enable L1, L2, and L3 phases appears.
Set the value to 1 to enable a phase, or 0 to disable a phase.
Click SAVE to store the phase enable changes.

Configuring the CT Ratio

You can configure the IOX meter current-measurement scaling factor. By default, the IOX meter is configured for a current transformer (CT) that outputs 333.3mVAC for a 5A load. This is a 5A / 333.3mV CT ratio. The 0 – 333.3mV range is fixed. You can change the 5A multiplier to match current measured by your CT when it reports 333.3mV.

To configure the CT ratio with the CMS Datapoints widget, perform the following steps:

Open the Datapoints widget. Click the Expand button ( ).
Set the Datapoints widget device filter () to show the IOX meter device.

The first installed IOX meter will be iox1.meter, the second will be iox2.meter, and so on.
Click the Action button () for the cpCtRatio datapoint and select the Edit Value action.

The view to set L1, L2, and L3 current transformation ratios appears.
Set the cpCtRatio datapoint L1_ctRatio.multiplier, L2_ctRatio.multiplier, and L3_ctRatio.multiplier values equal to the load current at 333.3mV for the respective phase. The default value is 5 for a 5A / 333.3mV CT ratio.
Click SAVE to store the CT ratio settings.

Reading Meter Data

You can monitor accumulated energy and instantaneous measurements reported by the IOX meter. To view live updates for a particular datapoint, you need to set poll rate (defaults to 30 seconds) in the Datapoints widget to a non-zero value.

The following IOX meter accumulated energy datapoints are available:

Datapoint Name	Measurement Units	Description
nvoActiveEnergy	Wh	Total present active energy for all enabled phases.
nvoAppEnergy	VA	Total present apparent energy for all enabled phases.
nvoPhaseActEnergy	Wh	Present active energy by phase.
nvoPhaseAppEnergy	VAh	Present apparent energy by phase.
nvoPhaseRctEngery	VAhr	Present reactive energy by phase.
nvoReactEnergy	VAhr	Total present apparent energy for all enabled phases.

The following IOX meter instantaneous measurement datapoints are available:

Datapoint Name	Measurement Units	Description
nvoCurrentRMS	A	RMS current by phase.
nvoPhaseActPwr	W	Active power by phase.
nvoPhaseAppPwr	VA	Apparent power by phase.
nvoPhaseFrequency	Hz	Frequency by phase.
nvoPhaseReactPwr	Var	Reactive power by phase.
nvoPower	W	Total power for all enabled phases.
nvoPowerStatus	pf	Average power factor for all enabled phases and by phase. Power factor is equal to active power / apparent power. The datapoint includes quadrant and THD fields that are not used.
nvoVoltageAvg	VAC	Average voltage for all enabled phases.
nvoVoltageRMS	VAC	RMS voltage by phase.

To monitor the IOX meter datapoints with the CMS Datapoints widget, follow these steps:

Open the Datapoints widget. Click the Expand button ( ).
Set the Datapoints widget device filter () to show the IOX meter device.

The first installed IOX meter will be iox1.meter, the second will be iox2.meter, and so on.
Set the Datapoints widget polling rate to 1 second to update one displayed datapoint per second.
The Datapoints widget displays the meter datapoints.

Refer to the metering input tables in the Reading Meter Data section above for the displayed Datapoint Name and description of the value.
