-{{ 20170525_wattmonmega.png?300|WattmonMEGA}}The WattmonMEGA((For those interested in history:  while yet in design this version was called the WattmonPRO2.)) is the most recent and capable release of the [[hardware:wattmons|Wattmon]] range of embedded data logging and control devices. The external connections are the same as for the [[WattmonPro]], but the internal hardware is improved, with four times as much RAM (512 KB), 100 Mbps Ethernet, a processor clock of 200 MHz, 12-bit <tooltip title="Analog to Digital Converter">ADC</tooltip> inputs (4096 possible values for the full scale), and an expansion of the maximum number of RS-485 Modbus RTU/TCP devices (32 RTU, 10 TCP).
-The MEGA uses the same OS as any of the [[hardware:Wattmons]] including the [[WattmonPro|PRO]], and is compatible with the same set of [[hardware:Modules]] and [[hardware:Accessories]]. The firmware has the same set of functions as all of the [[hardware:Wattmons]] and the [[WattmonPro|PRO]], but is expanded to take advantage of the hardware improvements. These changes add flexibility and speed, making it over twice as fast as the [[WattmonPro|PRO]] and easier to customize for any application.
-The MEGA can be used for **//any//** application in monitoring, control and data logging for the <tooltip title="Internet of Things">IoT</tooltip>. But particularly noted applications include:
-  * **Inverter Monitoring** - Inspect generation and efficiency of gridtie and hybrid inverters
-  * **AC Power Monitoring** - Supervise load and performance of substations and mini-grids
-  * **Off-Grid Battery Monitoring** - Observe battery voltage, current, SoC, charging Trends and health over time
-  * **[[:power_control|Zero Export & DG Protection]]** - Reduce active output power of multiple inverters to regulate energy generation

-====User Manuals====
-These User Manuals are helpful for the MEGA:((These User Manuals are somewhat "dated," having been written during times when the newer Wattmons had not yet been released, and they sometimes feature or show specific [[hardware:Modules]] or [[:Hardware]] that are obsolete (no longer available). However, the OS is the same for all of the [[hardware:Wattmons]]. Therefore the hardware differences are the only thing to keep in mind when using these manuals, especially the [[Wattmon|Original Wattmon]] and [[WattmonMINI]] which do not have the additional <tooltip title="Input/Output">I/O</tooltip> ports that are provided on the [[WattmonPRO|PRO]] and [[WattmonMEGA|MEGA]].))
