HDPM6000
The PowerLogic HDPM6000 is designed for high-density multi-circuit monitoring in motor control centres, electrical distribution boards and data centre racks. Current transformer modules attached to a single head unit allow up to 84 circuits to be monitored.
| Circuit Capacity | Up to 84 circuits (head unit + modules) |
| Measurement | Per circuit: kW, kWh, I — core parameters |
| Harmonics | Basic THD |
| Energy | kWh — per circuit |
| Architecture | Head unit + current transformer modules |
| Communication | Ethernet Modbus TCP |
| Installation | Modular — in-panel DIN rail |
| Application | MCC · Rack monitoring · Distribution board |
Integration with Argus EMS
The HDPM6000 connects to Argus EMS over Modbus TCP over Ethernet, and because a ready register template ships with the platform you do not have to work out a point map on site. The field agent polls the device every 60 seconds by default, writes the reading into a local queue first and then forwards it to the server over MQTT/TLS; nothing is deleted before the server acknowledges it. Hourly and daily summaries are derived from these raw readings, and the consumption and cost screens are fed from the same series.
| Protocol | Modbus TCP over Ethernet |
| Connection path | Directly over Modbus TCP (port 502) — no separate gateway is needed |
| Default polling period | 60 seconds (field agent) |
| Points in the ready template | 30 registers |
| Consumption calculation | Difference of the kWh import index over the period (MAX − MIN) |
| Data assurance | Local queue plus server acknowledgement; nothing is deleted before it is confirmed |
When Is This Model the Right Choice?
It meters many circuits from a single device, using one point inside the panel instead of a separate analyser per tenant or per outgoer. In shopping centre, office and hospital panels where sub-metering is dense, it saves wiring and space.
The device serves Modbus TCP directly over Ethernet, so no gateway is needed. In exchange, each device needs an IP address on the network and a switch port inside the panel. If more than one master polls the same device at once — a building automation system alongside Argus EMS, for example — its concurrent connection limit has to be respected.
