-Provide two type of data logger: generic and smart. The smart logger store instantaneous value, average value, maximum and minimum value.
-Every record is marked with a time stamp taken from the real-time clock. The minimum sampling period (distance between two records) is of 1 second.
-The recording can be continuous (driven by a regular time intervals) or conditional, driven by the status of one internal variable. It’s possible to define
starting/stopping of the recording.
-When the memory is full, the user can choose to stop the recording (END MEMORY mode) or to continue overwriting the oldest records (FIFO mode).
-The display page dedicated to the data logger status shows all the fundamental information, like number of measures, total records, available free
memory, residual time before the memory is filled.
Logic expression
-It is possible to create max 8 internal variables named LE1…8, whose status depends on the combination of limit thresholds, inputs, measurements, etc.
-The operands can be combined each other with the following operators: sum, subtraction, multiplication, division.
-Every logic variable is the result of max 2 operands with 1 operations.
-The LOGIC EXPRESSION page displays, for every variable LE1…8, the status of the final result, that is the status of the selected Logic Expression.
Communication channels
-The EMA-11N supports a maximum of 2 communications protocols.
-The communication channels are completely independent, both for the hardware (physical interface) and for the communication protocol.
-The two channels can communicate at the same time.
-Type of communication:
●RS485 Modbus RTU
●Ethernet Modbus TCP
●Profibus DP
●M-Bus
Power factor convention
Power factor (PF) is the ratio of active power (P) to apparent power (S), and is a number between 0 and 1. The meter shows positive or negative power factor
according to standards.
The following diagrams show the correlation between kW, kVAR, PF, and inductive or capacitive loads for both the IEC, IEEE and SIGN standards.
The EMA-11N permits to select the power factor sign convention.

Measuring inputs
Current measurement
The device is designed for connection of current transformers with secondary currents of 1 A and 5 A. It is only possible to measure alternating currents.
Optionally (during the order phase), Rogowski sensors can be used.
Voltage measurement
The EMA-11N with multi-range power supply is designed for measuring in systems with rated AC voltages to:
● 400 V phase-to-neutral
● 690 V phase-to-phase
Power supply
A supply voltage is required to operate the device. Please consult the technical data or the type plate for the type and level of the possible supply voltage.
The EMA-11N can be supplied with an AC / DC multi-range power supply or a AC / DC extra-low voltage power supply:
•AC/DC multi-range power supply:
Supply by 90 to 250 VAC ±10 % / 50 / 60 Hz or
90 to 250 VDC ±10 %.
•Extra-low voltage AC/DC power supply:
Supply by 20 to 60 VAC ±10 % / 50 / 60 Hz or
20 to 60 VDC ±10 %.
CAUTION
Observe limit values
Failure to do so may result in damage to the device and the equipment.
The limits given in the technical data and on the type plate must not be exceeded even at startup or when testing the device.
If a supply voltage is applied that does not comply with the specifications on the type plate, this can result in malfunctioning and failure of the device.
Wiring settings
-Set wiring parameters according to the used wiring diagram. See wiring diagrams at the end of the manual.
-The Device status page allows to verify if the connection of the EMA-11N device has been executed properly.
-The wiring status page and phasor diagram allows to verify the following points:
● reading of the three phases
● voltage phases (angles between phases is different by 120°)
● reverse polarity of each CT
● mismatch between voltage and current phases
-If something not succeed, the display shows NOT CORRECT otherwise CORRECT
