Install an energy saving project in your fields; it is recommended to start your project step by step.
A general energy-saving project usually is divided into the following stages:
Phase I: On-site investigation and inquiry
Initiate an energy saving profile and investigate potential energy saving opportunities.
Phase II: Measurement and analysis
In this stage, the power measurement system should get involved to collect related data for setting up energy saving baseline.
Phase III: Planning and negotiation
Phase IV: Implementation and Improvement
Phase V: Energy saving performance validation
To start an energy saving project in your company. The general department or factory facility management department will in charge of the related issues. In general situations, they are familiar with hardware; sometimes the manufacturer can help to install the hardware as well. However; for software implementation, usually the IT department will involved or require a system integration company to assist with program development. The process would be complicated.
ICP DAS Solution
ICP DAS provides total solution products for the second phase (measurement and analysis). Our products from power meter for measurement to power meter concentrator for data logging and report analysis. The solution is comprehensive and easy-to-use, it can save time and cost in system planning and implementation; it is flexible that the user can freely add or remove the power meters according to the measurement scale. The following is the architecture provided by ICP DAS solution.
Saving Cost
◆ Ethernet / RS-485 converter: not required, save your money
MV146-MCM is a Modbus/RTU to Modbus/TCP converter that allows SCADA software to access the data on the power meter via Ethernet. Using the PMC-5151(ICP DAS Power Meter Concentrator), it provides the connection via Ethernet; the MV146-MCM is no longer needed, and save your money.
◆ Cut out the panel board: not required, save your money
ICP DAS Power Meter features standard DIN rail installation, comparing to general panel power meter, it does not require to cut out the panel board for installation.
◆ Software & Trials: the PC and SCADA software can be replaced by the power meter concentrator to save cost and time
To install the software part in an application by using the SCADA software, the cost usually not only includes the software license fee and the project development cost; the cost of a PC to perform the SCADA software is also required. In addition, it always spends a long time to communicate with the end users regarding requirements of all kinds of functionalities and reports.
ICP DAS PMC-5151 power meter concentrator designed for electricity measurement. The well-designed software functions includes: real-time/historical data log/ display/inquiry functions. It can generate all kinds of analysis reports. In addition, with a few clips on the webpage, all software settings can be done via PC, mobile phone or tablet through remote operations, the whole process only takes about 10 minutes.
