The OptoEMU Sensor offers communications interfaces and data integration capabilities to deliver the energy data acquired from facilities’ electrical panels, metering devices and other equipment to enterprise business systems so it can be used to develop energy management strategies.
The Sensor can directly connect to and measure the electrical loads of both individual power panels and subpanels, and key facility equipment, such as manufacturing machinery, pumps, motors, refrigeration systems, boilers, chillers, and HVAC units.
It can accept pulses from utility meters and other sub-metering devices and provide connectivity to existing monitoring devices and instrumentation and building automation systems through serial and Ethernet interfaces that monitor and communicate via Modbus and BACnet protocols.
The Sensor can then send all acquired building data to online energy monitoring software portals — including Google PowerMeter and Pulse Energy’s Pulse for presentation and analysis, or to local databases for integration with business systems.
Opto 22 director of business development, Arun Sinha said that as a comprehensive energy monitoring system for commercial and industrial customers, the OptoEMU Sensor, priced at $1295, offers each of the stakeholders of a business a way to track, report, and visualize energy usage data.
