Energy monitoring - simple, flexible, economical, scalable

New solutions from ipf electronic without high initial investment or follow-up costs

With energy prices fluctuating at a persistently high level, companies must continue to deal with the complex problem of saving energy costs. If you want to reduce energy costs sustainably, you first need to know where the causes of unnecessarily high consumption are to be found. One straight question is therefore: how can efficient energy monitoring be implemented as simply as possible and without high initial and follow-up costs? With the gateways BY000002 and BY000003 gateways, ipf electronic now has a convincing answer to this question.

Everything "onboard" and open source

The gateways with ARM processor are based on a manufacturer-independent platform that ensures a high level of compatibility with all hardware and IT systems currently on the market. Both the operating system, which is easy to set up, and the web client solution for processing, providing and visualizing the measurement data via a dashboard are already "onboard" and are open source solutions for which neither regular license fees nor update costs are incurred.

Flexible to use and scalable at any time

The gateways for recording energy flows enable either the monitoring of a single system (e.g. by connecting to a control unit) or can be implemented as networked factory-wide solutions without the need for costly conversions. Up to six digital and four analog sensors can be connected directly to a gateway. Alternatively, there is also the option of connecting sensors e.g. via Modbus (32 devices via Modbus RTU / 200 devices via Modbus TCP). The devices provide numerous interfaces for this, including analog inputs (4...20mA/0...10V), CAN, RS485, digital IOs and USB2.0, and also support a variety of different protocols such as CAN, MQTT, OPC U/A, etc. In addition, the gateways can be open-ended with the AB000003 module for recording up to eight additional analog input signals.

The acquired data and measured values are stored in the gateways' large internal ring buffer or transferred to a local server or optionally stored in a cloud via a secure VPN connection.

Powerful, versatile visualization

The dynamic dashboard, which is based on open source software, clearly visualizes all measured values on a PC or mobile device. The highly flexible web client can be configured in a variety of ways and offers numerous display options to provide a quick and targeted overview of the most important key figures and variables.

Accompanying the gateways BY000002 and BY000003 gateways, ipf electronic offers a whole range of different solutions for decentralized consumption measurements such as sensors for flow, volume and temperature measurement of electrically conductive liquids and technical gases such as natural gas, measuring transducers for alternating current with integrated current transformer, pressure sensors for measuring gaseous and liquid media, level sensors, and, and, and.
