iSTAT M365

Power Quality Metering with Extensive Logging and Communications

The iSTAT M365 comprehensive power quality metering and communication features are ideal for utility, industrial and commercial power quality applications. The iSTAT M365 is an enhancement to the previous iSTAT M355 offering with extensive power quality perspective with the latest IEC61000-4-30 Class A Edition 3 certification as well as supporting EN50160 reporting.

With 625 samples/cycle sampling frequency and 8GB of logging memory to capture waveform, disturbance events and measured values, users are empowered to assess and make power related decisions quickly and effectively as well as record data for reconciliation and service level evidence. The iSTAT M365 support of Modbus, DNP3, FTP and IEC 61850 Edition 2 along with GPS, IRIG-B and NTP time sync make it easy to integrate into new or existing systems.

GE iSTAT M365 data center application

Software

The iSTAT M365 utilizes QDSP setup software to allow for easy initial meter setup, configuration and data visualization.

Easy setup and data visualization using QSDP software

Time Sync

Time Sync unit

The iSTAT M365 support multiple types of time synchronization to ensure accuracy and synchronization of various measurements and events to meet standards.

GE Reason RT43x GNSS clocks are recommended to provide accurate time synchronization.

GPS time synchronization (PPS and NMEA)

1pps and serial RS232 communication with NMEA 0183 sentence support
The interface is designed as 5 pole pluggable terminal (+5V for receiver supply, 1pps input and standard RS232 communication interface)

IRIG time code B (IRIG-B)

Unmodulated (DC 5V level shift) and modulated (1 kHz) serial coded format with support for 1pps, day of year, current year and straight seconds of day as described in standard IRIG-200-04. GE Reason RT43x GNSS clocks recommended for time synchronization
Supported serial time code formats are IRIG-B007 and IRIG-B127 Interface for modulated IRIG-B is designed as BNC-F terminal with 600 Ohm input impedance
Interface for unmodulated IRIG-B is designed as pluggable terminal

Network time protocol (NTP)

Synchronization via Ethernet requires access to a NTP server

Note: NTP can usually maintain time to within tens of milliseconds over the public Internet, but the accuracy depends on infrastructure properties - asymmetry in outgoing and incoming communication delay affects systematic bias. It is recommended that dedicated network rather than public network is used for Synchronization purposes.

Communications

The iSTAT M365 supports various communications connections and protocols for easy integration. It is equipped with standard communication port COM1 (Ethernet & USB) and an auxiliary communication port COM2 (RS232/RS485).
