EQUIPMENT
MCS301 meter

A MetCom Solutions GmbH three-phase meter for active and reactive energy in commercial metering systems. Direct and transformer-connected variants are available.
- Accuracy classes 0.2S, 0.5S and 1, depending on variant.
- Load profiles and measurement of network parameters, harmonics and THD.
- Data transfer via DLMS/COSEM and IEC 62056-21; additional communication modules.
- Up to 8 energy tariffs and 4 demand tariffs; up to 10 profile types.
- Replaceable COM modules for cellular, Ethernet, Modbus and additional interfaces on variants with a module slot.
Functions and interfaces are confirmed for the variant and firmware version.
Certificates and documentation ↓COMMUNICATIONS AND INTEGRATION
COM communication modules
The replaceable module sits beneath the terminal cover and is powered by the meter. It requires an MCS301 variant with a COM slot, indicated by symbol M in the variant code.
| Module | Channel / protocol | Purpose and connection |
|---|---|---|
| COM200-2G | GSM / GPRS | 2G cellular channel; SMA antenna connection and Mini SIM. RS485 Master depending on configuration. |
| COM200-4G | LTE / 3G / 2G | 4G cellular channel with 3G/2G fallback; SMA and Mini SIM. RS485 Master depending on configuration. |
| COM300 | Ethernet | TCP/IP and UDP; fixed IP or DHCP. RJ45 connector and RS485 Master interface. |
| COM350 | Modbus TCP | Modbus TCP integration over Ethernet; fixed IP or DHCP. RJ45 and RS485 terminals. |
| COM450 | Modbus RTU | Modbus RTU exchange via an independent RS485 interface. |
| COM420 | CL0 current loop | Converts RS485 to a CL0 current loop interface; connects to CL0 terminals. |
| COM430 | Additional RS485 | A second independent RS485 interface for an additional exchange channel. |
Exchange and configuration
For COM200, COM300 and COM350, the brochure specifies PULL polling, PUSH delivery, NTP synchronisation, a watchdog timer and Blue2Link configuration. PUSH supports TCP, UDP, FTP and email; SMS is available for COM200.
Feature availability depends on the module, variant and settings. Cellular use depends on operator coverage. COM module brochure, page 2 ↗
