ION Meter in Enterprise Energy Management Systems
Applications that include the meter typically require additional equipment.
Display and analysis software tools are almost always used to manage, interpret
and distribute the data measured or logged by a meter. There are usually a variety
of tools used, and often these tools are connected using different communications
standards and protocols. In many cases, a meter must also provide control
capabilities and device-level data sharing.
The meter can adapt to many situations. Advanced communications allow data to
be shared simultaneously across multiple networks, built-in I/O provides
monitoring and control capabilities, and a variety of display and analysis tools can
be used to monitor your power system.
Data Display and Analysis Tools
Not only does the meter’s front panel allow meter configuration and data display,
but the meter also integrates seamlessly with display and analysis software
available from Power Measurement. ION Enterprise software is the network and
device configuration software that also lets you analyze and monitor your system
and produce reports for any department in an organization. Furthermore, you can
use data acquired by the meter in a variety of third-party systems. ION software is
designed to make use of all the available advanced capabilities.
