Energy monitoring
Manage WAGES ( Water, Air, Gas, Electricity, Steam) in your small to medium-sized building
Main drivers
“I need to be able to identify abnormal or atypical consumption easily and at regular intervals so that I can control the overall flow of energy throughout the building.”
Solution in brief
Gather metering data via an iRio RTU, track consumption and detect problems
Solution applicable to small to medium-sized commercial buildings (1,000 to 5,000 square meters)
The hub of the system is an iRio RTU (Remote Terminal Unit), which picks up metering data from power meters (pulsing contacts or Modbus Serial Line communication) and flow meters (pulsing contact, Modbus Serial Line communication, or M-Bus open metering communication). The terminal then generates the necessary databases, dashboards, curves, and reports. It also transmits data.
The solution detects problems like flow leakages, overrides, and equipment left on, and then provides preconfigured indicators and curves at set intervals or on demand via a standard web browser as well as a downloadable metering database for indepth analysis.
Additional functions are also available, including an alarm generator for maximum energy consumption overruns, power faults, and abnormal consumption cycles and a load controller for load shedding, automatic shut down, and override limitation.
Energy metering can be provided by a number of meter options depending on budget and performance requirements:
- Compact NSX built-in power meter
- PM9C/200/700 communicating power meters
- Cost-effective EN40/PM9P/ME4zr pulsing power meters
Benefits for End Users
> 10% energy savings thanks to usage analysis
- Even greater savings if additional controls like load scheduling, conditioning shedding are implemented
> Reliable industrial RTU technology ensures information is available
> Cost-effective
- The solution works with pulse metering technology
- Possible small initial rollout to secure quick ROI can be scaled up later with additional metering
> iRio predeveloped software modules minimize software development costs
> Web based for easy implementation; no dedicated workstation required
Benefits for professionals
+ Low software development costs: iRio comes with pre-developed software modules
+ Powerful customization capabilities: implement additional control functions if and when required
+ Less time spent on-site: remote alarm and operation
+ No additional switchboard cabling: Compact NSX built-in power Meter
