About ICP DAS PMMS

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 significant energy savings no mater on the individual, corporate or national level. ICP DAS PMMS ( Power Monitoring and Management Solution ) is an innovative total solution for energy saving. It includes: front-end on-site Smart Power Meter, Power Meter Concentrator and back-end software tool for data management. In addition to hardware devices, ICP DAS also provides total solution so that the user could easily view power data from their mobile phones or PC, and the administrator could set up the system quickly without complicated coding. Simply complete the settings through the web or software for power monitoring and data recording; and then perform further statistic analysis so that the user could fully understand the efficiency of the power usage and furthermore establish policies to achieve effective energy saving. During the early stage, if the scale is small, the user could simply use Smart Power Meter and PMC/PMD to set up a simple acquisition monitoring system, once the scale is expanded, the user could get the back-end software tool involved and build a easy-to-expand monitoring system via blocks stacked structure. By this way, the system will be highly flexible and could be implemented in phases to meet various requirements.

System Architecture

PMMS (Power Monitoring and Management Solution) mainly consists of three parts: Smart Power Meter, Power Meter Concentrator and PC side software tool for data management.
 
●  ICP DAS Smart Power Meter：
Currently support ICP DAS Smart Power Meters PM-3033, PM-3133, PM-3112, PM-3114, PM-4324, PM-4324A, PM-3033-MTCP, PM-3133-MTCP, PM-3112-MTCP, PM-3114-MTCP and PM-4324-MTCP.
 

●  Power Meter Concentrator:
PMC/PMD is the new generation of Power Meter Concentrator for meeting the trend of energy saving and carbon reduction in the Industry 4.0 age. It provides flexible integration with the ICP DAS power meters via RS-485 or Ethernet interface, and features various functions such as: measure the power consumption of the devices, energy usage analysis, power demand management and alarm notification functions. The PMC/PMD features a built-in Micro SD card. After it retrieving the power data from the power meter, it will save the power data in data log file, and automatically send back the data log files to the back-end management center for data analysis and statistics. PMC/PMD offers a user-friendly and intuitive web site interface that allows users to implement the Energy monitoring and management system just a few clicks away; no programming is required. PMD also is equipped with the LCD (with Touch Panel) and provides an easy way for viewing the power data and setting the system parameters at the local side. In addition, PMC/PMD supports the Modbus TCP/RTU, SNMP, FTP and MQTT protocols for seamless integration with the back-end SCADA/MES/IT/IoT/Network Management systems. 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. All of these features make PMC/PMD a perfect concentrator of power meter in the Energy monitoring and management application of Industry 4.0 age.
 

●  PC Side Software Tool for Data Management：
The PMC/PMD supports FTP protocol, after the power data is stored, the power data can be sent to ICP DAS PMC Data Server at scheduled time (in CSV format) via FTP. And the data can be converted to MS Access / MS SQL / MySQL database format so that the related personnel could easily perform the analysis, inquiry and statistics of the power meter power data to achieve more efficient electricity usage. In addition, the PMC/PMD also support Modbus TCP protocol, any SCADA software that support Modbus TCP protocol(such as: InduSoft / EZ data logger) can connect to PMC/PMD directly to obtain the power data and is able to store the power data and perform data analysis.
