MCS301 meter

MetCom MCS301 three-phase electricity 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.

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.

Communication modules for MCS301
ModuleChannel / protocolPurpose and connection
COM200-2GGSM / GPRS2G cellular channel; SMA antenna connection and Mini SIM. RS485 Master depending on configuration.
COM200-4GLTE / 3G / 2G4G cellular channel with 3G/2G fallback; SMA and Mini SIM. RS485 Master depending on configuration.
COM300EthernetTCP/IP and UDP; fixed IP or DHCP. RJ45 connector and RS485 Master interface.
COM350Modbus TCPModbus TCP integration over Ethernet; fixed IP or DHCP. RJ45 and RS485 terminals.
COM450Modbus RTUModbus RTU exchange via an independent RS485 interface.
COM420CL0 current loopConverts RS485 to a CL0 current loop interface; connects to CL0 terminals.
COM430Additional RS485A 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 ↗
