Monitoring & dataloging
Today, monitoring a renewable energy system is essential. The Studer monitoring provide continuous
information (real-time and past behaviour) for a deep understanding of the operation of the system.
Having the right information at hand facilitates the follow up of the main performance indicators as
well as remote diagnostics and problem anticipation.
There are two kinds of monitoring and control in the Studer environment:
• Local monitoring and control: this is done with the nx interface and a daily storage of data
on the usb key. At any moment all the data can be retrieved on the usb key and analysed
locally on a computer, even in remote area without internet.
• Remote monitoring and control via Internet is possible with two options:
o for professionals and advanced users – Studer Portal is a web site with multiple
functionalities (visualization, graphs, email alerts, download of data, …). Connect your
nx-interface to the internet to get all the advantages of the Studer Portal available
here: https://portal.studer-innotec.com.
o for end-users – Studer Easy Monitoring App is a simple and intuitive way to see the
status of the system and its history. It is available in IOs and Android. The Easy
Monitoring APP uses the webportal as backend and accounts must be created on
the portal to use the APP.
On the nx-interface all settings necessary for the monitoring are managed in the Monitoring menus.
On the main screen, the state of the different aspects of monitoring can be checked quickly:
• Is there space left for datalogging on the usb key?
• Is internet connected?
• Is the studer webportal connected and operational?
