Energy meters integration
Acrel ADL400 as a measurement point
The Acrel ADL400 is a three-phase DIN-rail meter for commercial and industrial installations. Voltmasters EMS reads it for real-time measurement on the grid connection or as a submeter per installation section.
Supported devices
- ADL400
The ADL400 three-phase DIN-rail meter. Set the voltage and current transformer ratios on the meter itself, because the EMS reads the primary-side values. The meter leaves the factory on slave ID 1; in the installations we see it runs on 40, which is what the EMS proposes.
What the EMS gets out of your Acrel installation
- Real-time measurement on the grid connection as the basis for every control action
- Submetering per installation section or consumer
- Accurate data for peak shaving and injection limiting
- Reporting and cost analysis in the platform
- Mix all brands in a single metering setup
Why installers combine Acrel and Voltmasters
A compact meter on the DIN rail delivers the data the EMS steers on. The ADL400 gives voltage, current, power, power factor, frequency and the imported and exported energy, plus the voltage and current imbalance. That measurement is the basis for peak shaving, injection limiting and reporting.
How it works
How your Acrel connects to the EMS
Voltmaster Controller in the cabinet
The industrial DIN-rail controller sits next to the installation and runs the optimisation locally, even without internet.
Connect over the local network
You connect the device following the step-by-step guide in our documentation. We assist with commissioning on your first project.
Configure and go live
The installation appears in the platform: dashboards, control and monitoring are active right away.

Questions about the Acrel integration
Which Acrel meters does Voltmasters support?
The ADL400, a three-phase DIN-rail meter with Modbus communication.
What does the EMS use the Acrel meter for?
For real-time measurement on the grid connection or as a submeter, as the basis for peak shaving, injection limiting and reporting.
Does this work together with hardware from another brand?
Yes, the EMS is brand-independent. A battery, PV inverter, EV chargers and meters from different manufacturers are controlled together as one optimised system.
How do I connect a Acrel ADL400 to the EMS?
The Voltmaster Controller connects to the device over the local network. The step-by-step instructions are in our documentation, and as a certified partner we guide your first commissioning from start to finish.
