Product Overview

The PowerLogic PM5320 is part of Schneider Electric’s PM5000 multi-function metering range. It provides accurate power and energy measurement together with Ethernet communication, making it suitable for network-based energy monitoring and building or industrial automation systems.

Compared with RS485-only models, the PM5320 is easier to integrate into Ethernet-based monitoring networks. It is suitable where metering data needs to be collected directly through an IP network without an additional RS485 gateway.

Key Features

Applications

The PM5320 is suitable for installations that require panel-level measurement, Ethernet-based data collection, data logging, digital I/O and better harmonic visibility than basic meters.

Communication, Logging and Integration

The PM5320 includes Ethernet communication and onboard memory, making it suitable for networked monitoring and local data logging applications. The meter can be integrated into energy monitoring software, EMS, BMS, SCADA, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and IoTWatt 4.0.

Why Use PowerLogic PM5320?

The PM5320 is suitable when the project needs a Schneider Electric power meter with Ethernet connectivity. It provides better network integration than RS485-only meters while retaining strong PM5000 metering features such as 31st harmonic visibility, onboard memory and digital I/O.

• Provides local display and Ethernet communication.
• Supports Class 0.5S active energy accuracy for reliable energy measurement.
• Provides harmonic visibility up to the 31st order.
• Includes 256 kB onboard memory for logging applications.
• Includes 2 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs.
• Useful for EMS, BMS, SCADA, EcoStruxure PME and IoTWatt 4.0 integration.
• Suitable for sub-metering, demand monitoring, power factor review and energy audits.

Integration with IoTWatt 4.0

IoTWatt 4.0 can use PM5320 meter data for energy dashboards, demand analytics, power factor tracking, harmonic visibility, equipment-level monitoring, EECA reporting and digital energy audit workflows. Ethernet communication makes it practical for direct IP-based data collection.

• Monitor kWh, kW, current, voltage, power factor, demand and harmonic values.
• Use energy data for baseline creation, load profiling and abnormal consumption detection.
• Support energy audit findings with measured electrical data.
• Track achieved savings after corrective actions.
• Use digital inputs for auxiliary status or pulse monitoring where required.
• Use Ethernet connectivity for faster and cleaner system integration where LAN is available.
• Support EECA reporting and continuous energy performance improvement.

Recommended Deployment Checklist

• Confirm the electrical system voltage and wiring configuration.
• Confirm CT secondary rating: 5A or 1A.
• Confirm CT ratio, CT class, CT burden and CT polarity.
• Confirm panel cut-out, flush mounting space and wiring clearance.
• Confirm control power availability: 415V AC L-L or 250V DC.
• Confirm Ethernet network availability, IP address, gateway, subnet and cybersecurity requirements.
• Confirm communication protocol and register mapping required by EMS, BMS, SCADA, PME or IoTWatt 4.0.
• Confirm logging requirement and how the 256 kB memory will be used.
• Confirm 2DI / 2DO usage for pulse, status, alarm or control-related functions.
• Confirm dashboard, alarm, analytics and EECA reporting requirements for IoTWatt 4.0.
• Test voltage phase sequence, CT direction, readings, alarms, I/O and communication during commissioning.
