For the resources of the earth are getting depleted faster in recent years, countries around the world and all walks of life all set off a wave of energy saving and carbon reduction in order to avoid the waste of resources and pursue living a sustainable life to extend earth's resources. Under the trend of energy saving and carbon reduction, power monitoring gradually becomes an important project for maximizing energy efficiency by power monitoring always contributing to signifi cant energy savings no mater on the individual, corporate or national level. In order to achieve more efficient use of energy and reduce resources consumption, ICP DAS provides an innovative total solution in energy saving by connecting PMC/PMD (Power Meter Concentrator) to the Power Meters via RS-485 or Ethernet interface, it can measure and monitor the power consumption of the devices, machines, lighting, air conditioning or other electricity equipments. In addition, PMC/PMD also provides power demand management and alarm notifi cation functions. With the integration of ICP DAS I/O modules and the standard Modbus I/O devices, it can perform logic control or load shedding of the devices based on the power demand in real time. PMC/PMD also supports Modbus TCP/RTU protocol for seamless integration with SCADA. So that the administrator can monitor the status of power consumption of each device and perform statistics and analysis of the power information, thus improving the overall efficiency in electricity consumption to save costs on utility bills.

Example:
PowerMeterConcentrator: PMC-5231 | PMC-5151 
Smart Power Meter: PM-3133 | PM-3114
