1. Introduction
TCW260 is an energy monitoring module with Ethernet connectivity and data logging capability. All
monitored parameters can be seen as numbers and as graphs.
The device has 4 digital inputs, S0+ compatible. The inputs can work in two modes –OPEN/CLOSED for
a reading of “dry contact” outputs and COUNTER mode for direct connection of energy meters with
pulse outputs.
The energy monitoring module has also 6 analog inputs. Every analog input can work either in voltage
(0/10V) or current loop (0/20mA) modes. The mode is changed over the user interface.
All digital and analog inputs are fully isolated from the power supply.
TCW260 supports MODBUS RTU interface for up to 24 Teracom and third-party sensors. The used RS-
485 interface is fully isolated from the power supply.
The user can arrange up to 24 independent monitoring channels from the inputs and sensor readings.
Every channel can be set up using up to 2 input parameters and/or constants. There are three type of
channels –discrete (for OPEN/CLOSED outputs monitoring), general (for general monitoring) and
cumulative (for energy, volume, etc. monitoring).
The user can also arrange up to 24 independent alarms with 5 different user selectable states. Every
alarm can be set up using up to 2 limits and hysteresis. The alarm can be assigned to a specific channel.
In this case, in an alarm state, the assigned channel is colored on the monitoring page and graphs.
The device supports SNMP, HTTP API, MODBUS/TCP and MQTT as machine-to-machine (M2M)
communication.
