A system that is scalable is also a major benefit for companies because it enables their energy management systems to grow with them. Carlo Gavazzi’s VMU-Y EM provides all the benefits of a multi-site monitoring system without ongoing costs.
The unit is enclosed in a compact 2-DIN module and allows the user to aggregate information from up to ten VMU-C EM units within a single centralised interface. This effectively allows monitoring at distances of up to 320m via a PC using a standard web browser with no recurrent annual fees.
All data can be viewed via the web browser, which uses an interactive software interface, providing exportable data from a selection of ac, dc and environmental variables in either xls or csv format. Alarms and warnings are logged and automatically emailed to designated operatives.
The VMU-Y EM featuires 32GB of on-board data storage, which is substantial enough to store up to 30 years of historical data. To help minimise costs, VMU-Y allows estimations of the monthly costs based on the energy monitored which is calculated by its embedded dual tariff.
