WAGO Energy Meters (MID) for the Control Cabinet: Communication Professionals for Sustainable Savings on Time and Money!

Sustainable energy monitoring with energy meters in the control cabinet.

Whether current, voltage or power: Energy meters in switchgear provide comprehensive, continuous information on consumption values. That makes modern meter cabinet technology with digital power meters and intelligent measurement systems important tools for reliable measurement and sustainable optimization of power consumption. As digitization advances, the demands on energy meters have continued to increase. For location-independent data access, the devices need a variety of communication interfaces; at the same time, designs need to be more and more compact to save room in control cabinets.

WAGO has responded to the evolving demands of switchgear manufacturing and added smart energy meters to its range of products. These can be used for a wide variety of applications in buildings or in industry – they save installation space and time and are easy to install and configure. The new energy meters are true communication professionals and ensure maximum flexibility with a wide selection of interfaces!

WAGO Energy Meters (MID):
maximum simplicity and comprehensive communication!

WAGO’s new line of energy meters (MID) complements its selection of electricity and energy measurement technology. These record:

  • Values for active and reactive energy (4-quadrant meters)
  • Mains frequency
  • Current, voltage and power for all phases

The connection technology for all conductor types:

  • Solid
  • Fine-stranded
  • Fine-stranded conductors with ferrules

WAGO Energy Meters:
Numerous Top Benefits and Features

Reliability & Time Savings: for Straightforward Installation!

  • The Push-in CAGE CLAMP® with lever allows the energy meters to be connected with ease, saving time and ensuring safety above all.
  • The energy meters are direct meters up to max. 65 A and can be used in two-wire, three-wire and four-wire networks (3x230/400 V).
  • Different connection options (4PU and 4PS) allow optimal adaptation for installation and wiring.

Versatility & Communication: Three Interfaces in One Device

  • M-Bus and Modbus® interfaces
  • Two S0 pulse outputs for both directions of energy flow (adjustable pulse rate)
  • Bluetooth®
  • 3-in-1 solution saves storage space

Compactness & Space Savings: More Flexibility in the Control Cabinet!

  • The devices for direct measurement (4PU/4PS) are just 72 mm wide; the version for current transformers (2PCT) is only 36 mm wide.

Adaptability & Precision: Practical Acquisition of Operating Values

  • An external tariff input (230 V) or Modbus can be used to select from among extensive tariff options.
  • Separate data acquisition for high and low tariffs, for example.

Clarity & Transparency: Intuitive Configuration and Operation

  • Bluetooth® communication via the WAGO Energy Meter Configurator app (Android/iOS): Device configuration is fast – download the app free of charge from the AppStore or Google PlayStore and connect via Bluetooth.
  • All the measurement and configuration data can be read out and displayed at a glance on the illuminated full-format display – convenient operation via the integrated touch-sensitive controls.
  • It is also possible to configure settings, for example for Modbus addressing.

Comprehensive Functionality & User-Friendliness: Energy Management from a Single Source

  • Together, WAGO’s current transformers, energy meters and energy data management offer a complete integrated energy measurement solution.
  • All the energy data can be recorded and displayed in the WAGO Energy Data Management application on clearly organized dashboards.
  • What makes this solution special is data transparency, system openness and user-friendly visualization.
  • Extensive tools for getting started with and successfully expanding energy management – with OPC UA, MID energy meter integration and clear dashboards in HTML5.

For the Strictest Requirements: Energy Meters with MID Approval

WAGO energy meters comply with Directive 2014/32/EU, the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). The MID Declaration of Conformity of course opens up a wide variety of building and industrial applications – but applications with consumption billing are possible too.

  • With this approval, WAGO energy meters can also be used for applications with international or country-specific requirements.

WAGO Energy Meters for Maximum Versatility!

WAGO’s new energy meters can be used in industry and commerce wherever energy consumption needs to be recorded and billed intelligently with submetering.

Charging infrastructure: transparency in wall boxes and charging stations

Order-based production: production machinery energy consumption measurement (4PS)

Distributed properties: individual consumption-based billing for each tenant (4PU)

WAGO Energy Meter (MID) Configuration

Simply wire the conductors with the Push-in CAGE CLAMP®
Then start configuration in just a few steps:

1. Download

Download the WAGO Energy Meter Configurator app (Android/iOS).

2. Activation

Enable Bluetooth communication on the meter (press and hold down the middle button on the energy meter for five seconds).

3. QR code

A menu appears on the energy meter display, Bluetooth is enabled and a QR code appears.

4. Connection

Scan QR code with WAGO Energy Meter Configurator app; app and meter connect to each other.

5. Read parameters

Parameters are displayed and can be read out. If needed, save as CSV file.

Energy Meters (MID)

Crucial for trimming costs, comprehensive energy measurement is necessary to optimize energy consumption. WAGO’s portfolio has energy meters that simplify this task while offering several key advantages.
