The cost-effective Kinetis M series MCUs combine a sophisticated analog front end (AFE), hardware tamper detection and low-power operation to enable the design of secure, high-accuracy 1-, 2- and 3-phase electricity metering solutions. Freescale also provides proven 1-, 2-, and 3-phase hardware reference designs with complex metrology firmware satisfying 0.1% measurement accuracy and all ESD requirements. Traditional smart metering designs typically employ two chips to separate user billing software from the main application code, as required by WELMEC, OIML and other global standards. However, Kinetis M series MCUs handle this task with a single chip due to their on-chip memory protection unit, peripheral bridge, protected GPIO and DMA controller. To guard against external tampering, M series MCUs include active and passive tamper pins with automatic time stamping throughout, including on the independent real-time clock (iRTC). In addition, a random number generator enables faster, easier implementation of encryption algorithms than software implementations… Product launch, European Utility Week, Amsterdam – Oct. 15, 2013 TM External Use 1 Agenda • Introduction to Electricity Metering • Kinetis M Series MCUs • Electricity Metering Algorithms • Electricity Meter Reference Designs • Kinetis M Development Tools • Mastering MCU Programming… • References TM External Use 2 Electricity Meter Block Diagram MEASURE PROCESS DISPLAY • Measure − Electricity meters must measure phase voltages and phase currents consumed by connected load − Measurement linearity of 0.1% over 2000:1 dynamic range. − Shunt resistors, current transformers or Rogowski coils can be connected. • Process − Accurate calculation of the active and reactive energies − Time keeping with accuracy better than 0.5s/day needed for billing purposes − Tamper processing ensures security − Load profiles and parameters storage • Display − LCD display allows visual inspection − HMI (control button) allows system configuration − IR / RF communication allows download of data for utility companies and automatic meter reading TM External Use 3 Agenda • Introduction to electricity metering • Kinetis M series MCUs • Electricity metering algorithms • Electricity meter reference designs • Kinetis M development tools • Mastering MCU programming… • References TM External Use 4 Core Timer/PWM/Clock GPIO • CM0+ core Up to 50MHz • Quad Timer (total 4 universal timers) • Up to 68 with push pull, pull up/down select • Separate FLL post-scalers for Flash and Core • 2x PIT • Up to 8 GPIO with filter clocks. • 1x Watchdog Timer (windowed, independently • Support for interruption on any edge • Single cycle access for all GPIOs (Rapid GPIO) • Dedicated PLL for ΣΔ modulator clock clocked) • 4ch DMA • 1x EWM (External Watchdog Monitor) Power Modes & Clock • Memory Protection Unit • 1x LPTimer • Many low power modes supported • Single 32kHz Crystal operation LCD Display • 2.7V to 3.6V Operating voltage with AFE • 1.71V to 3.6V Operating voltage without AFE • MHz Crystal optional • Up to 288 segment LCD, up to 8 backplanes • 1.71V-3.6V IRTC VBAT supply Security & Encryption Wakeup Unit • 32kHz or 4 MHz internal clock source • • Programmable 16/32-bit CRC • Group selected GPIOs (16), LPTIM, RTC 32.768kHz crystal oscillator • IRTC w/ tamper detection (+tamper pins) , HSCMP, SCI , Brownout and Package • 3 Tamper pins (operating on battery) POR sources to wake up from Power Gated • 100 LQFP, 64 LQFP and 44 LGA options • Random Number Generator (NIST: SP800-90) STOP mode • -40°C ~ +85°C Temp • AES Encryption (via software library) • Memories +/-250mV analogue I/O • Up to 128 KB Program Flash pads with 6kV PESD • 16 KB SRAM Analog • 4x24 bit ΣΔ after averaging (2xPGA) highly accurate supporting EN 50470-1, EN 50470-3, IEC 62053-21, IEC 62053-22 and IEC 62053-23, optimized for shunt sensor (≥50uOhm). • 0.1% error in active and reactive energy over a dynamic range of 2000 to 1 • Internal 1.2V reference voltage (33 ppm/oC) • 12-ch 16-bit SAR for auxiliary measurement • 2x analog comparator Serial Communications • 2x SPI • 4x UART • All combined with Quad Timer & HSCMP for IR • 2 support ISO7816 Kinetis M series MCUs Pager M series One Kinetis • All support flow control • 2× I2C • All UARTs and SPIs are 3V compatible while 1 UART and 1 SPI are both 3V and 5V compatible (open drain configuration) Peripheral XBAR x3 • Remapping peripheral IOs • UART selection for IR TM IPs with functionality External Use 5 specific to metering Analogue Subsystem (Overview) 1.2V Voltage Reference • Generates accurate High-Speed Comparator reference voltage shared • Two comparators, each with between PGA, SD ADC, • 6-bit DAC to provide selectable SAR ADC and HSCMP Kinetis M voltage reference • Accepts a +/-250mV input signal VREF 1.2V VREF range 16-bit SAR ADC • Conversion speed up to ADC11 2x HSCMP 818 ksps ……..

  • RX210 Single-Phase Two-Wire Electricity Power Meter
    APPLICATION NOTE R01AN1212EU0101 RX210 Rev.1.01 Single-phase Two-wire Electricity Power Meter Dec 03, 2012 Introduction This document provides a guide to designing Electricity Meters with Renesas 32-Bit RX210 microcontrollers. Typical electricity meter designs today use at least one microcontroller an external analog front end (AFE). The role of the AFE is to provide accurate voltage and current measurement data to the metrology computation engine implemented some times in the AFE itself or in the microcontroller firmware. Depending on the accuracy requirements mandated by industry standards and local authorities, additional signal processing tasks such as: phase and temperature compensation, noise reduction through digital filtering and harmonic analysis may be required. Beyond the basic metrology functions smart electricity meters have to be able to calculate and track energy consumption profiles and support automatic meter reading (AMR) through various communication infrastructure such as wireless or power line (PLC) etc. All these additional functions require more computational resources often provided by additional microcontrollers (MCUs) or digital program processors (DSPs). Depending on the features and performance of the MCU’s a high level of integration that can be achieved at greatly reduced cost by reducing the number of components used, design cycle and system complexity. Integrating the AFE function with the computation engine can furthermore reduce the total system cost. Targeting smart meter applications with high levels of integration this application note will explore the capabilities of the Renesas RX210 Group. Smart electricity meters are becoming the standard in many developed countries around the world due to the new demands in accurate energy consumption monitoring, reporting and billing.

EMC Partner systems for EFT, Surge and DOW can all be coupled through one single device: The CDN3000A-06-32 2 Electricity Meter Test System Testing of electricity meters has evolved to take account of the increasing use of electronics. Apart from tests of electrical safety, Electricity meters must be tested for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) relevant to the installation en- vironment and in more modern electricitry meters, tests against disturbance caused by mains signalling must be conducted. EMC PARTNER special- ize in test equipment to simulate the impulse and short duration disturbances that can be propogated down the power mains. By their very nature, most elec- tricity meters are required to operate in three phase power main systems. Impulse Voltage Tests Impulse transients can be generated by external events such as lightning or internal events like switching. The result is a voltage impulse with low energy content that ap- pears between windings in transformers, between power lines or across physical gaps between conductors and cases etc. A normalised voltage impulse of 1.2/50us is defined in the standards IEC 60060-1 and IEC61180-1. Fast Transient (Burst) Tests Industrial measurement and control equipment nearly always use conventional control units containing relays or other electro-mechanical switching devices.
