Power monitoring made simple

The 7KM PAC measuring devices precisely, reproducibly, and reliably measure the energy values for infeeds, outgoing feeders or individual loads. They not only provide important information about the electrical power distribution but also key measured values for assessing the system states and power quality. For further processing of the measured data the devices come with manifold communication options for smoother integration in higher-level automation and energy management systems.

Monitoring the load of consumers makes it possible to prevent peak loads in a timely manner and thus reduce costs. The 7KT PAC measuring devices are designed specifically for sub-distribution. 1- and 3-phase energy meters with a communications link as well as a multichannel current measuring system round out the offerings.

Multichannel current measuring systems are a cost-efficient solution for transparent display of power consumption levels. They allow you to determine precisely the power required in each installation branch. Energy data such as voltage, currents and power can be visualized in a web interface or in the powermanager power monitoring software. This makes it possible to compare individual loads directly and to identify current peaks. The portfolio includes the 7KT PAC1200 multichannel current measuring system for the final circuit and the SEM3 multichannel current measuring system for the main power distribution.

To optimally monitor and control the entire power distribution process, we offer you a range of flexible, communicative protection devices.

The SENTRON powermanager power monitoring software analyzes energy consumption by displaying important characteristics for individual devices and for the entire system on an easy-to-understand dashboard. Savings measures can be directly derived and faults rapidly localized – for increased awareness with regard to energy consumption and lower costs.

The SENTRON powermanager power monitoring software can be added to existing hardware and infrastructure. Pre-defined reports and messages as well as the mapping of a company’s key figures facilitate implementation of the system. The software is scalable, as the license packages can be flexibly expanded at any time.

The SENTRON powermanager power monitoring software analyzes the load profile and identifies peak loads. Through the direct comparison of various processes, loads or system components, you can uncover inefficiencies and establish a basis to optimize power supply agreements. Consumption can be precisely allocated to individual cost centers, even across locations. This enables benchmarking and the optimization of supply agreements.

Continuous monitoring of the power distribution will allow early detection of critical system states. This allows you to avoid irregularities and device failures. In addition, you ensure improved power quality by identifying faults in a timely manner. Overall, intelligent monitoring prevents failures, destruction, or system downtime.

The SENTRON powerconfig mobile App is an application that makes it possible to record energy distribution data location-independently, so states and measures of an energy distribution can be monitored with minimal effort. The application can be used for the services of the SENTRON portfolio of IP-communication-capable circuit-breakers and measuring devices and offers various online views well known from powerconfig for Windows PCs.

The SENTRON powerconfig configuration software enables you to use a single software program for parametrization, documentation, operation, and monitoring. Settings and measured values are conveniently documented and the available devices statuses and measured values are displayed in standardized views. Device data can be stored on a project-oriented basis, and all available parameters are clearly presented – including plausibility testing of the inputs. The design of the SENTRON powerconfig configuration software is so user-friendly that no programming knowledge is necessary.

The most important functions of the SENTRON powerconfig configuration software are also available in the TIA Portal – and thus directly integrated in the industrial automation environment.

The SENTRON powerconfig configuration software is the combined commissioning and service tool for communication-capable measuring devices and circuit breakers from the SENTRON portfolio. The PC-based tool makes the parameterization of the devices easier, which gives rise to considerable time savings, particularly when several devices have to be set up. With the SENTRON powerconfig configuration software, the 3WL air circuit breakers and 3VA molded case circuit breakers as well as the 7KT/7KM PAC measuring devices with expansion modules can be parameterized, documented, operated and monitored using various communication interfaces.

The cloud-based IoT data platform 7KN Powercenter 3000 is a digitization solution for companies of all sizes and offers an easy and economical entry into energy management in accordance with ISO 50001. Communication-capable devices from the SENTRON portfolio record energy values ​​such as current and voltage and transmit them to the 7KN Powercenter 3000. This prepares the data in order to forward it for evaluations in an integrated browser-based interface, in overlaid power monitoring systems or in cloud applications (e.g. in Mindsphere).

• Easy and economical entry into energy management, also for small and medium-sized companies
• IoT data platform as a secure and universal communication interface
• Easy commissioning with the SENTRON powerconfig configuration software
• Support for energy management according to ISO 50001
• Individual data evaluation using the power monitoring software SENTRON powermanager, an integrated web interface or various cloud applications

With the new cloud application SENTRON powermind, it is possible to evaluate energy and plant data in real time, regardless of location. The data is provided via the IoT data platform 7KN Powercenter 3000 and forwarded to MindSphere. In real time, users get an overview of current energy consumption or its development over time - both for entire systems and for individual electrical consumers.

• Real-time analysis of all relevant energy data directly in MindSphere
• Intuitive operation of the application without specific IT knowledge
• Rapid identification of high energy consumption
• Support the establishment of operational energy management according to ISO 50001
