RPEM-1-V Remote Power Energy Monitor SDK (Voltage)

Description

RPEM v1 is a STEM project, providing a flexible Remote Power Energy Monitor SDK for your Solar/Wind/Battery/Inverter System.

This is a new product for May 2022.  The production PCBs have been ordered, where they will then be populated, tested and expected to be in stock late in June.

• The SDK Kit is available:
  • RPEM-1-C with four x SMT current clamp 3.5mm sockets mounted.
  • RPEM-1-V without the sockets, for four x voltage monitoring.

RPEM v1 Main Integrated Features

• Core
  • ESP-12S MCU
  • EEPROM 27C64 (64kbit | 8K x 8bit)
  • ADC ADS7828 (12-Bit 8-Channel Sampling)
  • On-Board 3V3 (1A) and 5V (100mA) LDO Regulators
  • 6-15V DC Input Supply
• Inputs
  • 4 x Voltage Monitoring (Pads, up to 70V DC per channel – Common Ground/Negative)
    • NB. If you add 22R resistor(s), mixed DC Current and Voltage inputs can be configured.
  • On-board NTC (Temperature)
  • On-Board DC Input Voltage Monitor
  • Opto Reader (Meter Pulse Reader / Expansion)
• Outputs
  • FET Driver (Max 100V / 1.5A)
  • Status LED
  • Power LED (3V3)
  • OLED Display Support (I2C Dual Headers)
• Communication
  • USB UART (Micro / Flashing / Debugging / Config)
  • RS485 (Monitoring / Expansion)
  • I2C (Expansion)

The RPEM SDK has been designed to be as flexible as possible for integration of the Solar/Wind Battery Home System to Home Automation.

In the Box
