PAS800 Parent/Child Topology

[AndersDahlskog]

Hi

In a project today there is five PAS800 with locally connected schneider modbus energy meters (EM4235 and iEM3455). Each PAS800 are handled individually with five log in.

Would like to propose a parent/child topology so to have measurements collected and managed in one of these five PAS800.

Is it advisable to turn off data logging in the four PA800 that then will act as child gateways ?
Is it an advantage to install and set up a new PAS800 that will act as a parent gateway with no locally connected modbus energy meters to it and the five existing PAS800 acting as child gateways ?

Hello @AndersDahlskog 

If you can log everything it would be more easy for the customer to have everything in one PAS. (need to identify number of data points and frequency but seems to be a simple configuration). You can keep data logging in all PAS800, just will increase the modbus traffic on devices or use the other PAS800 as simple modbus gateway ( no need for PAS800 for that).

Kind Regards
