BMSvision launches a new versatile energy analyzer

Aligned with its focus on energy efficiency and to answer the needs of customers, BMSvision now launches a new energy analyzer: the EM/TCP. Leveraging BMSvision's renowned industrial data collection, the EM/TCP ensures customers with reliable data connectivity across the production floor, powering actionable insights into energy consumption patterns.

By installing the EM/TCP energy analyzer and concentrator, you will gain access to a huge amount of energy usage data, making it possible to make informed decisions that will lead to a more efficient use of energy and a decrease of energy consumption and costs.

Features:

Modbus TCP protocol.
Measurement up to the 51st harmonic.
Accuracy class of 0.5S.
Four analogue inputs (4-20mA).

Benefits:

One device for several energy data streams: electricity, compressed air, gas, steam, water.
Dimensioned for utilities: one device to calculate the efficiency of the compressors or chillers (COP).
No extra Data Units needed for Ethernet ready machines: the EM/TCP connects directly to the server.
