HomeMaster ENM-223-R1 — 3-Phase Energy Meter, Modbus, DIN-Rail

Tech Specs

Installation, Environmental & Mechanical

Home Assistant / Modbus / Web Config Integration

The ENM-223-R1 supports flexible integration with:

• HomeMaster MicroPLC and MiniPLC controllers
• PLC and SCADA systems via Modbus RTU
• Home Assistant using ESPHome (controller side) or a Modbus integration
• Direct USB-C configuration using browser-based WebConfig

Configuration (metering options, calibration/offsets, alarms, relay modes, LED/button mapping) is saved persistently and restored at power-up.

Quick Setup Process (USB-C WebConfig)

1. Mount & Power – Install on DIN rail and connect the 24 V DC supply.
2. Connect USB-C – Connect USB-C cable to the module.
3. Open WebConfig – Open WebConfig in Chrome/Edge.
4. Connect Device – Click Connect and select the serial device.
5. Configure Modbus – Set Modbus address and baud rate.
6. Meter Calibration & Alarms – Select line frequency, scaling, and thresholds per phase.
7. Map Relays/LEDs/Buttons – Choose relay control mode and alarm/ack behavior.
8. Save & Disconnect – Save settings and disconnect USB-C for field operation.

Typical WebConfig options:

• Modbus address (1–255) and baud rate (9600–115200)
• Line frequency (50/60 Hz) and metering sum mode
• Per-channel gains/offsets (U/I calibration)
• Alarm / warning / event thresholds with optional acknowledgment behavior
• Relay control modes (alarm-controlled or Modbus-controlled) and inversion
• User LED sources (alarms/warnings/events/overrides)

WebConfig provides live meter values and configuration settings (stored persistently).

Cabling and Wirings

24 V DC Supply (V+ / 0V)

Connect + to V+ and − to 0V; use appropriate protection upstream.

• Power is SELV-rated and supports reverse-polarity protection
• Route power wiring separately from mains and sensor wiring
• Apply terminal strain relief and maintain cabinet segregation

Voltage Inputs (L1 / L2 / L3-N / PE)

Connect mains sensing inputs and protective earth (PE) per the terminal map. Voltage inputs can be hazardous.

Current Transformers (CT1 / CT2 / CT3)

Use CTs with the correct output level (333 mV / 1 V RMS) and correct polarity. Shielded cables are recommended.

Relay Outputs (NO / COM / NC)

Dry contact wiring only — external load supply and protection are mandatory.

RS-485 Modbus (A / B / COM)

Wire A to A, B to B, and COM to the reference ground as required by your RS-485 network.

Cable Recommendations & Shield Grounding

General Routing Rules

• Route low-level signal cables separately from mains, relay outputs, contactors, and power wiring
• If crossing power cables is unavoidable, cross at 90°
• Keep cable runs as short as practical and avoid parallel runs with high-current conductors
• Label cables and provide strain relief at terminals

RS-485 (Modbus) Cable

• Twisted pair for A/B (120 Ω characteristic impedance recommended)
• Second conductor/pair can be used as COM (0V reference) depending on the network design
• Prefer shielding for industrial/noisy panels

Shield Grounding

• Bond cable shield(s) to cabinet PE/EMC ground at the PLC/controller end only by default
• Do not connect shields to RS-485 signal terminals (A/B/COM)
• If both ends are in equipotential bonded cabinets, shields may be bonded at both ends using proper 360° clamps

Safety and Installation Notes

• Qualified personnel only: Installation by trained technicians familiar with SELV and mains wiring.
• Mixed voltage domains: 24 V DC is SELV; voltage sensing inputs are mains hazardous (85–265 V AC).
• Install inside an IP20 control cabinet and protect terminals using the required front plate/door.
• Respect relay contact system limits (3 A @ 250 V AC resistive) and provide external overcurrent protection.
• For inductive/high-inrush loads: use proper suppression (RC snubbers / TVS as required).
• Use the correct CT type (rated output 333 mV / 1 V RMS) and observe polarity/shielding to avoid incorrect metering.
• Maintain RS-485 cabling best practices: twisted pair, correct A/B polarity, and bus termination as required.
