Schneider Electric PowerLogic PM5000

Power and energy meter

The PM5000 family is compatible with EpiSensor through its documented open interfaces. The exact route depends on the meter model: RS-485 variants use Modbus RTU, Ethernet variants use Modbus TCP, and selected Ethernet models also expose BACnet/IP.

Compatibility

Compatible with Edge

Schneider Electric publishes the PM5000 communication interfaces and model-specific register lists. Edge reads supported Modbus RTU or TCP paths through the appropriate site interface. BACnet/IP additionally requires an Edge build containing its BACnet client.

Choose the exact PM5000 model and firmware first. Its physical port, unit address, serial settings and register-list revision determine the configuration; the family name alone is not a register map.

Optional onward data
Use a ZMB-31 when the meter is remote from the Gateway and a wireless bridge avoids a long new data-cable run. Configure the Edge point names, data formats and scaling from the Schneider register map for the model. The customer-platform output is optional; Edge remains the local system of record.

Use an Edge build containing the BACnet/IP client. Edge discovers and reads BACnet/IP objects as a client. Edge is not a BACnet server and does not provide BACnet MS/TP, so confirm the required direction before choosing this route. The customer-platform output is optional; Edge remains the local system of record.

Specifications

Panel-mounted power meters for 1 A or 5 A current transformers, from the PM5110 with RS-485 to the PM5560 with Ethernet and BACnet/IP. Schneider publishes separate register lists for PM5100/PM5300 and PM5500/PM5600/PM5700 meters. Use the list for the installed model and firmware rather than transferring a family template unchanged.12

Assessment

This page covers the PM5000 family. Accuracy class, ports and the values each meter reports depend on the exact model and firmware.

InteroperabilityWell supported
Schneider publishes the Modbus register list for the family. Some Ethernet models also speak BACnet/IP.125
AccuracySupported with conditions
Every model measures the main electrical values. Accuracy class, power-quality functions and I/O differ by model, so check the model against the job before you order.234
SecurityLimited
Modbus and BACnet have no authentication or encryption. Put the meters on a separate network segment and never expose one to the internet.45
ReliabilityWell supported
Logs, minimum and maximum values and alarms survive a power cut, and a three-year battery keeps the clock. Immunity is declared to IEC 61000-4 and tested under EN 50470, from -25 to +70 °C.234
RuggednessSupported with conditions
Each model’s datasheet gives its installation and environmental limits. Check them against the panel it goes in.34
ScalabilitySupported with conditions
Multi-drop RS-485 or routed Ethernet. Addressing, polling load and network segments set how many meters one Gateway reads.145
LifecycleWell supported
Model data and register documents are public. Keep the model, firmware and map revision you commissioned against with the Edge template.12

Edge templates

This JSON file supplies the register map. Applying it to an existing meter replaces its sensor list while retaining the site connection, unit ID and enable state.

PM5560 Modbus RTU/ASCII, Modbus TCP/IP and BACnet/IP 30 1.0.0 Download

Downloads need a signed-in account with Edge download access.

Use the template in Edge

  1. Import the JSON file

    In Edge, open Settings, then Devices and Templates. Choose Import JSON and select the downloaded file. Confirm that the model and template name match your device.

  2. Load the map for your meter

    For a new Modbus device, use Load Template before entering the manufacturer or model; it fills those fields and the register list. Set the name, site connection and unit ID, check the polling enable state, then test before saving. For an existing device, apply only to the matching model; this replaces its sensor list but retains its connection, unit ID and enable state.

  3. Test a reading

    Use Test in the wizard and compare a known reading with the meter display. Check its unit, sign and scale, then confirm that timestamps keep advancing. These starter maps are read-only and leave exports off until you configure them.

Setup

  1. Identify the model

    Record the catalogue number and firmware. Schneider publishes one workbook for PM5100/PM5300 and another for PM5500/PM5600/PM5700. Choose that model group first; use its published map as the starting point and compare one measurement with the display before expanding the read list.

  2. Set the address and serial settings

    On RS-485, record the baud rate, parity, stop bits and address. On Ethernet, record the IP address and unit ID, and allow only the peers that need the meter.

  3. Wire and terminate the bus

    Check polarity, the common reference, bias and termination along the whole RS-485 bus.

  4. Check one value

    Schneider numbers registers from 1, so register 3000 is address 2999. Read one known value and compare it with the display, then check sign, scaling and energy direction under a known load.

  5. Import the template

    Import the Edge template for your model, then set polling intervals and alarms that the meter and the network can sustain.
