Overview
powermanager: Power monitoring made easy
With the PC-based powermanager power monitoring software
and the measuring devices of the SENTRON family, Siemens
offers an ideal solution for power monitoring in non-residential
buildings or smaller and medium-sized industrial plants. Energy
costs are reduced and energy availability is increased – with a
minimum initial investment and full expandability!
The powermanager records energy and power values as well as
electrical parameters such as current, voltage or power factor
(cos phi). It is possible not just to display the values, but also to
monitor and archive them to perform analyses at a later time. To
optimize power demand, this data can be displayed and then
compared in the form of a load curve. Quick consumption anal-
yses are possible by means of the supplied cost center reports
or by means of freely structured reports according to individual
requirements.
The advantages at a glance
•
Low engineering overhead thanks to extensive default
settings in the software
•
High cost-effectiveness even for small systems thanks to low
initial investment
•
Direct access also possible over the web
•
Comprehensive functions already included in the basic
package, e.g. reporting
•
Customer-specific adjustments and expansions possible at
any time by means of option packages
•
Identification of possible optimization and potential savings
thanks to transparency in the power distribution
•
Important module for power management systems, e.g. when
designed according to the new EN 16001 standard
•
Price advantage through favorably priced system packages
comprising software and hardware
Software functions

Application
Application
The product offers a standard power monitoring solution which
provides the user with the following basic functions:
•
Collection of measured quantities from the devices
•
Presentation of the measured quantities from the devices in a
predefined standard view for the 7KT PAC1500, 7KM
PAC3100, 7KM PAC3200, 7KM PAC4200 measuring devices
and 3WL/3VL circuit breakers
•
Free presentation of measured quantities possible, including
from non-Siemens devices, using generic Modbus drivers
•
Archiving of measured quantities
•
Monitoring of status and limits, with generation of corre-
sponding signals
•
Load curve display for visualizing the archived data and
online data
•
Cost center reports based on predefined rates and the
archived consumption data
•
OPC server
•
Configuration of the system including user management
•
Load monitoring for complying with power limits
•
Virtual computation
This standard solution is designed with cost-efficiency and
simple system start-up in mind.
