The ABB EM/S 3.16.1 Energy Module (order code EM/S3.16.1) measures energy and electrical parameters on three channels rated 16/20 A. Active power, current, voltage, and frequency can be monitored with thresholds so peak loads can be limited via KNX load control.

Pair with lighting gateways such as DG/S1.64.5.1 when coordinating standby switch-off and peak limiting on DALI circuits.

Key Features

• 3 measurement channels: Terminal current paths up to 16/20 A.
• Power quality basics: Active power, current, voltage, frequency.
• Threshold monitoring: KNX telegrams when limits are exceeded.
• Peak load limiting: Support energy-management strategies on KNX.
• 4 MW MDRC: Compact DIN-rail energy module.

Applications

• Sub-metering: Track consumption of selected circuits in the distribution board.
• Peak shaving: Trigger load shedding when thresholds are crossed.
• Lighting energy: Combine with DALI Premium gateways for coordinated standby.

Installation Notes

Mount on a 35 mm DIN rail (4 MW). Wire the three current paths and KNX per the connection diagram. Import the official .knxprod from Downloads and set thresholds in ETS.
