Product Overview
PowerLogic PM3000 is suitable for projects that require DIN rail-mounted metering with reliable local display and selectable communication options. It provides the main electrical measurements required to understand feeder behaviour, circuit consumption, demand, energy import / export and load patterns.
The series is useful for sub-metering and cost allocation because it supports multi-tariff energy registers, WAGES pulse collection on supported models, RS485 Modbus communication on communication variants and demand / energy logs on higher variants.
Positioning: Use PM3000 where a DIN rail Schneider Electric power meter is required for basic monitoring, cost allocation, sub-metering, energy management and IoTWatt 4.0 integration.
Why PM3000 Matters
PM3000 provides a practical DIN rail metering option for compact panels, distribution boards, tenant metering and gateway-based energy monitoring systems.

PM3210 |
DIN rail power meter with pulse output. |
PM3200 functions plus pulse output for kWh pulse collection and basic external energy monitoring. |
Sub-metering points where simple pulse-based kWh monitoring is required. |
| METSEPM3250 |
PM3250 |
DIN rail power meter with RS485 port. |
RS485 Modbus communication, THD current and voltage, alarms with timestamping, min / max values, demand and energy monitoring. |
DIN rail Modbus metering for EMS, BMS, SCADA, gateway or IoTWatt 4.0 integration. |
| METSEPM3255 |
PM3255 |
DIN rail power meter with RS485 plus 2DI / 2DO. |
PM3250 functions plus 2 digital inputs, 2 digital outputs, WAGES pulse collection, external status, tariff control, alarm output and kWh pulse functions. |
Best PM3000 variant for integrated energy monitoring, WAGES pulse collection, digital status monitoring and IoTWatt 4.0 gateway projects. |
Selection note: For new IoTWatt 4.0 integration, PM3250 or PM3255 is normally preferred because RS485 Modbus provides richer live data than pulse-only monitoring. Select PM3255 when digital inputs, digital outputs, WAGES pulses or additional alarms are required.
