Energy Data Acquisition
Task:
An energy data acquisition and analysis system should be implemented to record and file energy and water consumption and – based on these data - to compile consumption reports. The system has to be able to connect meters with different communication interfaces including M-Bus, Modbus, CEA-709, and BACnet. In addition it needs to be able to accept meter pulses (SO). The energy data acquired locally should be provided to a central data server over the Internet. Therefore the data should be either polled by the data center by using Web services or should be sent out by email.
Solution:
This task can be solved by a combination of LOYTEC hardware and software product. A L-INX Automation Server is used for the local data acquisition. The necessary meters will be connected via CEA-709, Modbus or BACnet-interfaces. Additionally M-Bus meters are connected by using the L-MBUS Level Converter and SO meters are handled via binary inputs of L-IOB I/O Modules.
The L-INX Automation Server is processing the meter information and stores the meter values locally in non-volatile memory. From time to time the data is transferred to the overriding L-WEB System, where the LWEB-900 Server stores the data in a SQL database. Depending on the firewall configuration the LWEB-900 Server is either fetching the data by using Web services or the L-INX Automation Server sends out the data via email attachments (CSV file).
Features:
- Acquisition of energy consumption data with L-INX Automation Servers
- Configuration with the L-INX Configurator
- Long term data storage with LWEB-900 Server
- Data transmission either via web services or as email attachment (CSV)
- Energy report design and creation with LWEB-900
- Automatic report printing, storage on file server, forwarding via email or filing on a Web server
- User management
