Can the PM8000 log the maximum KW value observed for the month and write those values to modbus registers going back to up 24 months?

Hello!

Can the PM8000 series meter store the maximum KW value observed for the current calendar month and store the value within memory (that can be read as a modbus register) and recalled for the past 24 months before the current one as well? Tech support informed me that it is possible using custom max module, custom periodic timer module, and custom data recorder module on a daily basis that is triggered to reset at midnight each day, but can this done at the last day of a calendar month as well? Is there a way to make those valuables visible on the meter screen like the example I've provided in the attached picture (doesn't have to be this exact format)? How would it be done?

Hi @maks.chayun 

Yes, the meter has a Clock module that can send pulses and trigger other modules at the end of each period, such as New Day, New Month, New Year, etc. Therefore, you can use the Clock module instead of the Periodic Timer module to reset the values at specific times.

You can link the desired values to the Custom Screen module to display them on the meter’s front panel.

Hello @maks.chayun ,

Note that values logged in data recorders are not visible from front panel. You could possibly make use of store modules that cascade to store the information in a way that can be accessed via the front panel. Note this is not retroactive and would only apply to months moving forward.
