Power Monitoring System
The i.LON100 may communicate via Internet or by phone using a built-in modem. Data can be sent automatically by email to VaCom’s EnergyDashboardÔ server, or retrieved manually into Excel using built-in XML code or as a .csv file via FTP file transfer. Monitoring Options: The Power Monitoring Panel can be configured with numerous options, including:
Critical Price Signal Configuration: A configuration has been developed to help facility operators respond to critical peak pricing (CPP) rates being implemented in California.
Power Monitoring System Example: VaCom provided a customized monitoring system for the National Resouces Defense Council Robert Redford Building in Santa Monica, California, to monitor overall building performance including power usage, solar electric generation, water use and rainwater recovery, as well as HVAC and lighting system performance. The system used three i.LON100’s to provide long term data storage and host extensive web pages graphics, connected to an array of LonWorks input modules. In addition, VaCom programmed a custom “analytics” module to calculate the aggregate building efficiency compared with a base case building, using current weather conditions.
