Saia-Burgess

Reads energy and power data from a Saia-Burgess 1-phase energy meter via Modbus RTU.

Overview

This template reads energy and power data from a Saia-Burgess 1-phase energy meter via Modbus RTU. It fetches active energy, active and reactive power, voltage, current, and power factor. All registers are read-only.

Key readings

Active Energy 1st Phase
Active Power 1st Phase
Reactive Power 1st Phase
L1-N Voltage
Phase 1 Current
Power Factor cos phi

Use cases

Monitor real-time voltage, current, and power factor on a live cloud dashboard for a customer site.
Track cumulative active energy consumption per circuit to support tenant billing or sub-metering.
Create an alert when power factor drops below 0.9 to detect potential capacitive or inductive load issues.
Compare active and reactive power trends over time to identify inefficient equipment.
Generate daily or monthly energy reports for facility managers or building owners.

Installation

1Wire the Modbus gateway (MCG or MLP series) to the RS-485 terminals of the Saia-Burgess energy meter using a twisted pair cable with correct A/B polarity.
2Set the Modbus slave address on the Saia-Burgess meter to a unique value that does not conflict with other devices on the same bus.
3Configure the Modbus gateway serial port to 19200 baud, odd parity (1), and 8 data bits to match the meter defaults.
4Import the Saia-Burgess Energy Meter 1-Phase template from the ModbusCloud template library into your project.
5Assign the correct slave address in the template settings and verify that live readings appear on the ModbusCloud dashboard.
