Panel Server PAS600 replacement for COMX210

[ArmandV]

Hi all,

The Panel Server PAS600 is recommended as a direct replacement of the COMX210 device.

It however looks like the panel servers are lacking valuable features of the COMX210 devices, such as the digital and analogue inputs.

Is there any other substitution device compatible with Power Monitoring Expert, which is also more comparable to the specs of the COMX210?

Regards,
Armand

Hello @ArmandV , 

If you only need 2x DI => then use PAS600L commercial reference.

If you need more DI for pulse counting or breaker monitoring => then better use a Smartlink A9XMSB11.

Then all your Smartlink IO Channels will be compatible with PME. You will need to create Logical Device in Management Console.

Hi @ArmandV , 

I forgot something important.

If you choose to use the 2x Digital Input embedded in a PAS600L, you will need to create a PME custom driver based on the Panel Server internal Modbus map. Because DI status / counting data are stored in the Panel Server. For the moment, no Panel Server driver is available for PME. 

If you choose the Smartlink Modbus, then it will be native to PME because the driver is native for many years.
