Monitoring and measuring systems used for data collection, gathering and analysis - Part 1: Device requirements

This part of IEC 62974 specifies product and performance requirements for devices that fall under the heading of “monitoring and measuring systems used for data collection, gathering and analysis”, for industrial, commercial and similar use rated below or equal to 1 kV AC and 1,5 kV DC. These devices are fixed and are intended to be used indoors as panel-mounted devices, or as modular devices fixed on a DIN rail, or as housing devices fixed on a DIN rail, or as devices fixed by other means inside a cabinet. These devices are used to upload or download information (energy measured on loads, power metering and monitoring data, temperature information…), mainly for energy efficiency purposes. These devices are known as energy servers, energy data loggers, data gateways and I/O data concentrators.
