Customers wants to meter the end units of data center 100A bus and wireless the power data to a collection point. I was wondering if the PAS600 could be reversed, collect hardwired from the bus cable CT' meter and transmit wirelessly to another PA600 to receive wireless and then put to ethernet. It is to avoid a difficult, high ceiling hardwired installation from each bus to a collection point. I think the wireless solution, if it exists will be more expensive than a hardwired solution.
Is 802.15.4 two way communications?

Hello,
This architecture is not possible. 802.15.4 wireless can only be used to group Schneider Electric wireless products in the Panel Server.
However, the Panel servers (PAS 600 and PAS800) also offer Wi-Fi connectivity for connecting to a WI-FI access point.
It is therefore a means of collecting measurements by an upper system such as a BMS,PME....
If the Panel Server is mounted in a metal enclosure, you can also install the accessory antenna PASA-ANT1 to improve the ZigBee communication

Thanks for responding. I am very new to the forum.
So the PAS600 could transmit wirelessly the meter data out to a wireless receiver?
Does this seem possible in a data center environment?
Can a Zigbee concentrator at the other end pick up the transmitted PAS600 signal and put to ethernet?
The argument was that it will be difficult to run a communication cable between the buses in the data center. These all seem very experimental and not practical what I am asking. I was merely doing my due diligence. I cant see how running a cat6 cable between these device can that hard.
