Add AC-2705X for equipment status and control
Extend the M1, M4 and AG-2701X collection setup with AC-2705X where needed: four isolated inputs collect status and eight relay outputs connect field controls. Confirm signals, loads and feedback before configuring equipment and software.
Configure M1, M4 and AG-2701X around supply circuits, three-phase equipment and single-phase branches. These are application patterns; quantities, point maps and software functions are defined for each project.
Manufacturing and equipment OEMs
Use M1 on three-phase machinery, compressors and pumps, and M4 on lighting, workstations and single-phase auxiliaries. AG-2701X connects to the workshop LAN. The host associates readings with equipment, lines, shifts and external production records.
Potential project partners
Equipment OEMs, automation integrators and plant energy teams
Metering circuits
Production lines, compressors, fans, pumps and workshop distribution
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements. Optional AC-2705X: Equipment run/fault signals; confirm loads, interlocks and feedback for control outputs.
Commercial buildings and campuses
Use M1 on building or floor incomers and M4 on tenant, lighting and shared branches. AG-2701X connects to the building LAN. EMS or BMS software compares supply and branch data within aligned time windows and boundaries.
Potential project partners
Building automation integrators, campus operators and energy service providers
Metering circuits
Floors, tenant distribution, HVAC, lighting and shared facilities
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements. Optional AC-2705X: Status of shared lighting, ventilation and other equipment; configure controls against existing distribution and operating policies.
Retail and restaurant chains
Use M1 on store three-phase supplies and M4 on lighting, refrigerated cabinets and single-phase kitchen equipment. Each AG-2701X joins the site LAN; headquarters consolidates data through the existing secure network and software.
Potential project partners
Chain operators, store software developers and maintenance providers
Metering circuits
Store supply, refrigeration, kitchen equipment, HVAC and lighting
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements.
Cold storage, warehouses and logistics
Meter compressor or warehouse supplies with M1 and lighting and single-phase auxiliaries with M4. AG-2701X feeds the site system. Temperature, throughput and door activity come from separate sensors or business records.
Potential project partners
Cold-chain integrators, warehouse operators and service teams
Metering circuits
Refrigeration, fans, conveyors, lighting and auxiliary distribution
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements. Optional AC-2705X: External digital alarms such as refrigeration faults and door contacts; confirm process and load requirements before control actions.
Hotels, apartments and dormitories
Use M1 for building or zone totals and M4 for rooms, tenants and shared branches. AG-2701X joins the property LAN. Billing, prepayment, payment and switching require separately agreed software and control scopes.
Potential project partners
Hospitality software providers, operators, installers and property developers
Metering circuits
Guest rooms, units, laundries, hot water and common areas
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements.
Schools and public estates
Use M1 on school, canteen or venue supplies and M4 on classrooms, laboratory auxiliaries and shared lighting. AG-2701X connects to the institution LAN for analysis by building, purpose and opening hours.
Potential project partners
Campus IT teams, facilities departments and system integrators
Metering circuits
Teaching buildings, offices, dormitories, facilities and shared distribution
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements.
Data-room auxiliary distribution
Use M1 on HVAC, pumps and auxiliary three-phase distribution and M4 on lighting and single-phase auxiliaries. AG-2701X joins the operations LAN. UPS, IT loads and PUE boundary data come from existing systems.
Potential project partners
Data-room facilities integrators and campus electrical teams
Metering circuits
Cooling, lighting, offices and other non-critical auxiliary circuits
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements.
Charging-site auxiliaries and distributed energy
Use M1 on site or auxiliary three-phase supplies and M4 on lighting and single-phase auxiliaries. AG-2701X feeds the energy system. Charging settlement, grid metering, bidirectional energy and protection require separate equipment and validation.
Potential project partners
Charging-site integrators, energy software providers and campus operators
Metering circuits
Site lighting, ventilation, auxiliary equipment and campus branches
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements.
Agricultural pumps and greenhouses
Use M1 on irrigation pumps and greenhouse three-phase loads and M4 on lighting and single-phase auxiliaries. AG-2701X joins the field wired network. Flow, irrigation schedules and crop records are external inputs; outdoor protection is specified by project.
Potential project partners
Agricultural automation OEMs, pump integrators and farm operators
Metering circuits
Irrigation pumps, fans, grow lighting and greenhouse auxiliaries
Suggested equipment
M1 (three-phase RS485 variant) + M4 + AG-2701X; quantities follow circuits and sampling requirements. Optional AC-2705X: External level, run and fault contacts in pump rooms; coordinate control with site protection and interlocks.
Energy services and vertical software
Energy service providers and software vendors reuse M1 + M4 + AG-2701X, organising points by building, equipment and cost center. The agreed interface supplies readings, quality flags and timestamps; the host produces reports, alerts and analysis.
