Building management

“My business is flexible enough to schedule certain energy-consuming activities during less expensive off-peak hours. What’s the best way to take advantage of this opportunity?”

Integrate a centrally-managed load-shedding system into your BMS (Building Management System)

The solution is built around a PC or PLC that controls load shedding. The controller is used to generate load shedding orders based on the electrical variables of the entire electrical installation,
taking into account time bands, operating, or even process-related information. The system communicates with selected Compact NSX circuit breakers. Power to outgoing loads is cut for
a given amount of time, and selected loads are restarted at more optimal times chosen by the controller.
The system is simple, with an IFM Modbus interface between the PC or PLC and the circuit breakers. The Compact NSX circuit breakers are equipped with Breaker Status Control Module (BSCM) input/output modules, which are hooked up to the remote control (MTc) that opens and closes the Compact NSX.

> 10% lower electricity bills, with savings proportionate to rates negotiated with the utility
> Get the most of your investment: the FDM121 switchboard includes, at a cost similar to traditional
push-button/ lighting/commutator solutions
