If a device is not in the library yet, we build the template for free as soon as we have the register data.
Use cases
- Monitor three-phase voltage and current on a live cloud dashboard for each customer site.
- Create an alert when total active power exceeds a contractual demand limit for more than five minutes.
- Track power factor per phase over time to identify reactive power compensation needs.
- Log residual leakage current trends to detect insulation degradation before a fault occurs.
- Compare energy consumption across multiple sub-distribution boards using several KE-P 5 meters.
- Export historical apparent power and active power data for energy audit reporting.
Installation
Wire the RS-485 A and B terminals of the K'Electric KE-P 5 meter to the corresponding terminals on your ModbusCloud Gateway.
Set the Modbus slave address on the KE-P 5 meter using its front panel or configuration tool, and note the address for later use.
Confirm the meter baud rate is set to 19200, matching the default for this template.
Log in to the ModbusCloud portal, add your gateway, and import the K'Electric KE-P 5 template from the template library.
Enter the Modbus slave address you configured on the meter and save the device settings.
Verify that live readings such as voltage, current, and power appear correctly on the dashboard before closing the electrical panel.
Things to watch for
I see no data on the dashboard after importing the template. What should I check?
Verify that the RS-485 wiring polarity (A and B) is correct and that the baud rate on the meter matches 19200. Also confirm the Modbus slave address in the template matches the address set on the meter.
Why do I see multiple total active power registers in the documentation?
Registers 4157 through 4160 may represent different aggregation types such as instantaneous total or demand period total. Consult the K'Electric manual for your specific model to determine which register suits your application.
Do I need a termination resistor on the RS-485 bus?
If the KE-P 5 is the last device on the RS-485 bus or the cable run exceeds approximately 100 meters, add a 120 ohm termination resistor across the A and B terminals at both ends of the bus.
Which data format do the registers use?
All measurement registers use float32 (IEEE 754) format, occupying two consecutive 16-bit Modbus registers. The template already accounts for this, so no manual byte order configuration is needed in ModbusCloud.
