Remote access to energy data

17 October 2012 Test & Measurement

Energy data collected using the Phoenix Contact EMpro family of measuring devices can now be monitored and analysed remotely via a Web interface. This is made possible by two new Ethernet communication modules with an integrated Web server that allows measuring devices to be quickly and easily integrated into existing Ethernet networks.

The Web server provides remote access to the most important electrical machine and plant parameters, including current, voltage, power, energy and harmonics. The energy measuring devices in the control centre can also be configured in this way. This makes it possible to customise the storage of measured data and the generation of alarm messages.

The new RS-485 Ethernet gateway allows access to multiple measuring devices using just one IP address, with the EMpro MA600 integrated into the Ethernet network as the master. All other measuring devices are connected to the device network as slaves via the gateway.
