The 7KN2715-5CE40-0YC0 is a bundled energy management system from Siemens. It combines a SENTRON powermanager V3 software license with five PAC2200 DIN rail energy meters — a complete starter kit for monitoring up to five three-phase measurement points with centralised visualisation, reporting, and cost allocation.

What is included in the package?

The package contains two components: (1) SENTRON powermanager V3 software — a download license delivered via email. The software provides real-time energy monitoring dashboards, historical data logging with trend curves and load profiles, configurable alarm thresholds with notifications, automated energy reporting with cost centre allocation, and remote parameterisation of connected SENTRON measuring devices. It supports 8+ languages (DE/EN/ES/PT/FR/IT/TR/ZH) and runs on Windows Server or Windows 7/8.1 Enterprise (64-bit). (2) 5 × PAC2200 energy meters (7KM2200-2EA30-1EA1) — DIN rail mounted, three-phase, 1A/5A CT-connected, self-powered, with Modbus TCP over Ethernet. Each meter measures active/reactive/apparent energy and instantaneous electrical values, displayed on an integrated LCD.

What kind of installation does this package suit?

This is the entry-level powermanager package for small to medium facilities that need multi-point energy monitoring with professional visualisation. The five PAC2200 meters cover five feeders, machines, or zones — a typical small factory, commercial building, or warehouse. The meters connect to the facility's Ethernet network via Modbus TCP, and the powermanager software runs on a central PC or server. For larger installations, additional PAC2200 meters or other SENTRON PAC devices can be added — the software license scales beyond the included five meters. If you need power quality analysis (harmonics, THD, detailed waveform data) rather than basic energy monitoring, the 7KN2715-3CE40-0YC0 package includes 3 × PAC3220 advanced power monitors instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add more meters beyond the five included PAC2200 units?

Yes. The powermanager software supports a configurable number of devices — the five included PAC2200 meters are a starting point. Additional SENTRON PAC devices (PAC2200, PAC3200, PAC3220, PAC4200) can be added to the Modbus TCP network and configured within the software. The license terms for additional devices should be confirmed with your Siemens partner.

Does the software require a dedicated server?

The powermanager software runs on standard Windows Server (2012 or 2008 R2 64-bit) or Windows 7/8.1 Enterprise/Ultimate/Professional (64-bit). A dedicated machine is recommended for continuous data logging, but for smaller installations with limited historical data requirements, it can run on a shared server or a dedicated industrial PC.
