Acrel ADW210 Overseas Global Module - Supports multiple mainstream communication modes such as 4G, NB-IoT, and LoRa

In the wave of economic globalization, multinational corporations are emerging and their overseas businesses are expanding continuously. However, behind this prosperity, power monitoring and management has become a major concern for many companies. Communication networks vary across different countries and regions, from 5G networks in Europe and America to 3G networks still prevalent in some developing countries. Achieving stable communication across borders and networks has become a key challenge for real-time power data transmission. The complex power grid environment also presents a headache. Some countries have weak power grid infrastructure, large voltage fluctuations, and severe harmonic interference. Furthermore, different countries have vastly different power grid standards; for example, Japan uses 100V, while the United States uses 120V, and frequencies also differ between 50Hz and 60Hz. This necessitates power monitoring equipment with strong adaptability.

The Acrel ADw210 overseas global communication module was developed against this backdrop, acting as a "bridge" to open a new chapter in overseas power monitoring. It breaks down communication barriers, supports multiple communication modes, and ensures smooth data transmission in both cities with advanced networks and remote areas with weak network coverage. Facing complex and ever-changing power grids, the ADw210 Global Communication Module remains unfazed, demonstrating strong compatibility and stable performance. It measures power under varying voltage, frequency, and harmonic conditions, providing reliable power data for businesses.

What exactly is the ADw210 Global Communication Module? Before delving into its remarkable features, let's first understand its "birthplace"—Acrel. Since its establishment in 2003, Acrel Electric Co., Ltd. has focused on providing energy efficiency management and power safety solutions for enterprise microgrids. Through years of development, it has grown into a high-tech joint-stock enterprise integrating R&D, production, sales, and service (stock code 300286). Leveraging its deep industry experience, Acrel has built a complete product ecosystem, from cloud platform software to terminal components. Over 10,000 of its system solutions are operating stably both domestically and internationally, providing users with a solid defense for efficient and safe energy use.

The ADw210 Global SIM Module is a shining star among Acrel's many innovative achievements. From a hardware perspective, it features a compact and robust casing design, adaptable to various harsh installation environments. It operates stably in both the hot and humid Southeast Asia and the dry and dusty Middle Eastern deserts, and also possesses electromagnetic interference resistance, effectively mitigating the impact of complex electromagnetic environments on device operation. In terms of communication technology, the ADw210 Global SIM Module is an all-rounder, supporting multiple mainstream communication modes such as 4G, NB-IoT, and LoRa. Taking 4G communication as an example, its high speed and low latency enable instantaneous power data transmission, meeting the needs of scenarios with high data timeliness requirements, such as real-time energy consumption monitoring in large factories. NB-IoT, with its low power consumption and wide coverage, is suitable for small sites in remote areas, ensuring stable data uploads even in areas with weak network signals. LoRa technology plays a crucial role in cost-sensitive applications with relatively small data volumes, achieving reliable data transmission at a lower cost.

Acrel ADW210 Multi-Circuit Multifunctional Instrument

The ADW200 rail-mounted multi-circuit power meter is mainly used for the measurement of all electrical parameters in three-phase circuits, and can simultaneously select current input for four circuits. It can directly or indirectly measure parameters such as voltage, current, power, power factor, phase angle, unbalance, and harmonics. The instrument can have RS485 communication, active pulse output, or two-channel switch input/two-channel switch output; or 12-channel external NTC temperature measurement + 4-channel residual current measurement; or 12-channel switch input + 4-channel switch output. It can be equipped with button operation and LCD display or LoRa wireless communication. Depending on different requirements, communication, alarm, and other parameters can be set and controlled via the instrument panel buttons.

Functions:

The ADW2xx series DIN rail-mounted multi-circuit power meters are primarily used for measuring all electrical parameters of low-voltage three-phase circuits, and can simultaneously select current input for four circuits. They can directly or indirectly measure parameters such as voltage, current, power, power factor, phase angle, unbalance, and harmonics. Auxiliary functions can be expanded through their RJ45 interface to achieve DI, DO, temperature measurement, residual current measurement, and 2G, 4G, LoRa, LoRaWan, and NB-Lot wireless communication functions.

Applications of Multi-Circuit Multifunctional Meters:

The ADW2xx series DIN rail-mounted multi-circuit power meters facilitate electricity monitoring, centralized meter reading, and management. They can be flexibly installed in distribution boxes to achieve separate metering, statistics, and analysis of electricity consumption in different areas and under different loads.
