What is HWg-PWR
HWg-PWR is an Ethernet-enabled device for remote monitoring and metering of electricity, heat, water or gas consumption using electricity, water, gas, heat, or other meters equipped with the M-Bus interface. In addition to metering, the device also supports alarming through e-mail or SNMP traps whenever allowed values are exceeded.
HWg-PWR is designed for remote reading of values from meters equipped with the M-Bus interface. Each meter can provide multiple variables, depending on the meter type and model. Typically, electricity meters provide the total electricity consumption and also the immediate value at the time of reading, line voltage and/or line current; water meters indicate total water consumption as well as immediate consumption or liquid flow rate; and so on.
Note: HWg-PWR is designed to be universal; hence, all discovered values are read out from every connected meter, until a specified limit is reached. To improve user comfort, it is possible to enable or disable each discovered value (disabled value is hidden from view), and to turn on or off the recording of measured readings for each enabled value (in order to increase the available recording time for the remaining values).
The M-Bus protocol allows to read value names, units, or tariff information from the meters. The user can customize all of these data (e.g. change the unit of measurement or its multiplier).
Usage examples
Remote monitoring of electricity meters in small server rooms and BTS Monitoring of energy consumption in rented premises Reading out energy consumption in remote or inaccessible areas Control over energy costs Checking for individual line overloads in three-phase wirings Checking for undervoltage in electric wirings
Monitoring the flow of liquids

Automatic discovery of meters:
1. At the Device Base Parameters page, fill in the M-Bus Scan section:
- Address – Range of M-Bus addresses where the meters can be discovered. The default is 0-252; however, a smaller range can speed up the discovery process significantly.
- Serial Baudrate – Communication speed. The default is 2400 but this can differ for various meters – see the meter documentation.
- Serial Parity – Communication parity. The default is Even but this can differ for various meters – see the meter documentation.
2. Click Scan.
3. The M-Bus Device Scan Status section displays the discovery progress (Actual scan state) and discovered meters (Found Device).
4. After the scan is complete, Actual scan state changes to Stopped.

page 13
5. Write down the addresses of discovered devices and return to the Device page.
Note: If HWg-PWR does not find any connected meters, re-check the M-Bus connection (in particular its polarity) and the baudrate and parity configuration, or try to look up these values in the documentation of your meter. Repeat the search until you find all meters.
When only some of the meters are found but not all, the problem may be in different communication parameters. Repeat the search with other Serial Baudrate and Serial Parity settings.

page 25
Edit y.Value on x.Meter section
Name – Value name. Identifies the value (variable). Unit – Physical unit of measurement. Identifies the unit of the value being
measured. Together with its exponent, it can be used to convert the value to a custom format and unit (W/kW, kWh/MWh, dm3/l and so on).
Exponent – Allows you to change the order of the displayed unit of measurement. Tarif – Identifies the tariff in multi-tariff meters. Zero Offset – Bias. Allows a modification of the displayed value by adding
(subtracting) a fixed number. Typically used to monitor differences for a given time period.
Logging Enabled – Enables the recording of readouts into the internal memory.
Recording interval is specified at the Log tab. When logging is enabled for fewer variables, more records can be stored.
Value Alarming – Enables alarming for the current value. This is useful for making
sure that a value (line current, flow rate etc.) stays within its allowed range. This function can inform you about overconsumption or suspiciously low consumption and help avoid further problems.
SafeRange Hi – High limit. Alarm occurs if the measured value exceeds the value
specified here.
SafeRange Lo – Low limit. Alarm occurs if the measured value falls below the
value specified here.
Saferange Hyst – Allowed hysteresis. Suppresses false alarms if the measured
value oscillates near the threshold. The hysteresis only applies in the direction
