Rockwell Automation announces new plant power monitor

羅克韋爾自動化發布新型工廠電力監控器          

Combines flexibility and scalability in a powerful, cost-efficient unit for a wide range of energy management applications

該監控器結合了靈活性和可升級性，功能強大，價錢合算，適用于范圍廣闊的電力管理應用

MILWAUKEE, July 27, 2006 - A new high-performance, low-cost power monitoring device from Rockwell Automation accurately profiles a plant’s energy consumption and utilization data while providing manufacturers with the information needed to better control and optimize energy costs. The Allen-Bradley Powermonitor 1000 is ideal for basic power monitoring applications, such as load profiling and cost allocation and has flexibility to be scaled to provide advanced capabilities, including wiring diagnostics, historical trending and advanced networking.

密爾沃基7月27日消息——一款來自羅克韋爾自動化高性能低價錢的新型電力監控設備可以精確描述工廠的電力消耗和使用數據，同時為制造商提供所需要的信息，以便更好地控制和優化電力成本。艾倫——布拉德利的Powermonitor 1000 電力監控器是負載壓型和成本分配等基本電力監測應用的理想選擇，而且其可以靈活升級到高級功能，包括配線診斷，歷史傾向和高端網絡等。

“It’s become clear that energy management is a critical job for today’s manufacturing operations professional, and they need power monitoring price and performance options that address these changing energy management requirements,” said Matt Hansen, applied systems engineer, Rockwell Automation. “The Powermonitor 1000 combines basic power monitoring features and capabilities into an affordable, scalable package. This allows plants to effectively monitor today and easily expand as needs change.”

羅克韋爾自動化應用系統工程師Matt Hansen表示：“很明顯，電力管理對于今天的制造操作專業人士來說是一項重要的工作，他們需要電力管理的性價選擇以滿足這些不斷變化的能源管理要求。Powermonitor 1000 結合了基本的電力監測特征以及一個負擔得起的升級包功能。這就允許工廠現在可以有效地進行監測，而且隨著需求的變化可以輕易地升級。

The Powermonitor 1000 can be applied independently as a replacement for analog meters for collecting and charting energy information, and it can be integrated into existing energy monitoring systems, including Rockwell Software RSPower, RSEnergyMetrix and RSView. The device communicates seamlessly with Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley controllers (PLC-5, SLC, and ControlLogix families) allowing efficient sharing of energy data among a plant’s varied control systems.

Powermonitor 1000可以獨立地作為模擬儀器的代替者，對電力信息進行收集和制圖，還可以整合到現有的電力監測系統中，包括羅克韋爾軟件的RSPower，RSEnergyMetrix 和 RSView 系統。Powermonitor 1000 電力監控器與羅克韋爾自動化艾倫—布拉德利控制器(PLC-5， SLC， 和 ControlLogix 家族產品)無縫通信，從而在工廠不同控制系統之間實現有效率的能源數據共享。

The compact Powermonitor 1000 is available in five models—two transducers (TR1 and TR2) and three energy-monitors (EM1, EM2 and EM3)—with features and price points addressing a wide range of application requirements. The transducer models provide effective power factor monitoring and can measure voltage, current and power-related tags. Energy-monitor models feature the ability to measure consumption related tags such as real, reactive and apparent energy, which allows energy managers to identify where and how much energy is being used, as well as low power factor caused by inductive loads. The top line energy-monitor (EM3) provides all the features of both the transducer and energy-monitor models.

緊湊的Powermonitor 1000有五個型號——兩個傳感器型(TR1 和 TR2)以及三個能源監控器型(EM1， EM2 和 EM3)，這些型號的特點和價格點滿足了范圍廣闊的應用要求。傳感器型號提供了有效的電力因素監測，而且可以測量電壓、電流和電力相關的標識。能源監控器型號則可以測量例如實時能量、無功電能和表觀能量等能耗相關標識，使得電力管理者可以確定正在使用的電力地方和電量，以及由電感負載引起的低電力要素。最高端的EM3能源監控器型號擁有傳感器型和能源監控器型的所有功能特點。
