NETIO PowerCable IQRF 901x

NETIO PowerCable IQRF is a smart power extension cable that communicates over the IQRF LPWAN network (868 MHz). The 230V/16A electrical socket features electricity metering (A, V, W, TPF, kWh, Hz) and can be switched on and off with full IQRF Interoperable support.

Using the Smart connect function, PowerCable IQRF can be connected to the IQRF wireless network. The DPA protocol can be used to control the output or read the measurements (V, A, kWh, W, Hz, TruePF). PowerCable IQRF is constantly powered, so it also acts as a message repeater in the IQRF MESH network.

• IQRF Interoperable
• Smart Connect + button to bond with the network
• Electrical measurements (V, A, W, kWh, TPF, Hz)
• ZCS – Zero current switching

PowerCable IQRF 901x supports IQMESH functions of the IQRF wireless network. The device supports the “IQRF Interoperable” DPA standard for sensors and I/O devices.

The IQRF outlet supports IOC (Independent Output Control); output state is unaffected by firmware update. The PowerUp state function allows to specify the desired output state after power up (On / Off / Last). The Last option stores the last state of the output (on or off) before a power outage, and restores it when the power is restored.

An important feature for light industrial use is ZCS (Zero Current Switching). This feature ensures that the relay is switched when the current passes through zero level. PowerCable IQRF 901x can be used at ambient temperatures from -10 to +65°C.

Applications

NETIO PowerCable IQRF 901x, a smart wireless power socket for lightweight industrial applications, is an ideal solution for remote control and metering of 230V power sockets outside electrical cabinets.

The outlet can be controlled over the wireless iqrf network from any other iqrf product using the DPA interface. PowerCable IQRF supports the control methods and formats of variables defined by the IQRF Alliance.

IQRF compatibility

PowerCable IQRF 901x contains the standard TR-76D IQRF module and allows firmware upgrade over the wireless network. The output outlet state can be checked or written as a standard I/O for output no. 1. 
Sensor values are read using standard IQRF Interoperable functions (see IQRF-StandardSensor-V015 documentation).  

901x – The “x” denotes different types of plugs and sockets

PowerCable IQRF 901x is supplied in several versions depending on the electrical socket type (as used in different countries). All 901x models come with two 0,85m cables with the corresponding electrical socket and plug types.
