Measurement System with Added Value

The new “WAGO Energy Data Management” system easily records and manages energy data without any programming and can be upgraded at any time.

Corporations are increasingly scrutinizing the efficiency of their buildings and equipment. On the one hand, legal regulations require this; on the other, potential savings, which could ultimately bring decisive competitive advantages, also appear enticing. However, the level of potential savings can only be determined once all types of energy and their consumers are systematically recorded, and the data is viewed in the appropriate context. The foundation for all of this is a good measurement system.

Advantages of WAGO Energy Data Management:

Modular recording of energy and process data
Easy parameterization of inputs using web visualization – no programming needed
Connect existing sensors to the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM
Integrated visualization
Evaluate energy data and create an efficiency plan
Use key performance indicators (KPIs) to achieve ISO 50001

Complexity of the Measurement Solution

Practically speaking, however, this has often proven quite difficult, because, in order to establish transparency across energy types, it is necessary to funnel the different measurement data types into a single system. The measurement solution is typically tailored to the situation, and is also extremely complex. In addition to defining individual measurement points, selecting suitable measurement devices, meters and sensors and then installing them, programming the measurement system is complicated, time-consuming and usually the driver of high costs. And when the measurement system finally runs, it quickly collects mountains of data, which then have to be dealt with.

Modular Collection of Energy and Process Data

A suitable measurement system must satisfy three criteria: It must be easy to integrate into the system, it must operate economically, and it must ensure that processing the collected data is simple. This is exactly the solution offered by the new “WAGO Energy Data Management” system. Combining preconfigured hardware and user-friendly software into one package, WAGO’s measurement system can be readily integrated into both systems and building technologies. The distinctive feature: In addition to energy-specific values, like electrical currents or voltages, many other measurement values can also be recorded that are relevant for industrial and process technologies or for building applications. For example, current, gas, heat, water, compressed air and temperature can be measured in one system, providing a comprehensive view into a company’s energy flows and production processes.

Solid Basis: PFC200 and WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750

The industry-proven PFC200 Controller and the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750 hardware form the basis on the hardware side. The modular design make the system readily adaptable to the respective requirements. For recording device- and process-specific consumption, a number of I/O modules are connected in series to the controllers, e.g., 3-Phase Power Measurement Modules for energy consumption measurements, pulse counters, interfaces for linking M-bus meters and for radio-based EnOcean sensors. Numerous other modules are also included for recording analog and digital current and voltage signals.
