VP-EC-DCIM-BCM Gateway

Branch Current Monitor Gateway

The VP-EC-DCIM-BCM is a complete breaker panel branch current monitoring system. Up to 2 VP-EC-BCM-42CT Interfaces can be connected for a total of 84 breakers. Each interface transmits its current readings to the gateway via Modbus RTU RS485 protocol. The VP-EC-BCM-Gateway's built in web server allows the user to program all alarm and operating settings for the breaker variables. Email alerts are programmed for Warning, High, and Zero Load Alarm.

Standard Features of the VP-EC-DCIM-BCM Gateway:

• DIN Rail Mount Enclosure for simple installation
• Low Power 24 VDC (External 120 VAC to 24 VDC Power Supply supplied with every Gateway)
• LCD Display, Menu Pushbuttons and Status LEDs
• Ethernet TCP/IP Port for connection to the Enviro-Cloud application
• 2 Local RS485 Modbus Ports for connecting VP-EC-BCM-42CT Interfaces
• Remote RS485 Modbus Port for optional connection to building management systems
• Optional RS485 port for remote LCD display (VP-EC-RDU)
• One optional RS845 port
• Built in web server for local access for programming and data display
• Email Alerts
• Programmable Breaker Alarms
• Standard Gateway can be programmable for up to 84 Breakers
  (24, 30, 36, 42, 60, 72 and 84 Breakers)
