The basic license of the power monitoring software offers the following basic functionality:

• Collection of measured quantities from the devices
• Presentation of the measured quantities in predefined standard views for the 7KT PAC1500, 7KM PAC3100, 7KM PAC3200, 7KM PAC4200 measuring devices and 3WL/3VL circuit breakers
• Free presentation of measured quantities possible, including those from non-Siemens measuring devices, using generic Modbus drivers
• Archiving of measured quantities
• Monitoring of status and limits, with generation of corresponding signals
• Load curve display for visualizing the archived data and online data
• Cost center reports based on predefined tariffs and archived consumption data
• OPC server
• User administration
• Load monitoring for complying with power limits
• Virtual computation

System configuration

• Integration of measuring devices by means of predefined device templates for the 7KT/7KM PAC measuring devices and the 3WL/3VL circuit breakers
• Easy integration of already existing modbus-enabled measuring devices
• Communication through Standard Ethernet
• Integration of devices with RS 485 interface (ModbusRTU) through Modbus gateway, e.g. the 7KM PAC4200 measuring device can be used as the gateway

Industries

The energy efficiency that can be achieved with consistent power monitoring and the derived optimization measures is crucial for all industries, e. g. the manufacturing industry, in non-residential buildings, in the field of services, and in infrastructure projects. This has a particular impact on competitiveness, particularly in view of rising energy prices.
