introducing powernet
|
powernet enables efficient monitoring, alarming and trending of an electrical distribution
system. the powernet system communicates with state-of-the-art meters, relays, trip units, motor protectors, starters,
and more to process vital power information. powernet delivers the information needed to analyze power quality,
manage power costs, track and schedule maintenance, trouble shoot system faults, and receive early warnings about
potential problems. the power monitoring capabilities of powernet coupled with the factory floor automation capabilities
of devicenet forms the most comprehensive control and information management system in the industry.
high speed and open communications
powernet is well positioned to manage power usage well into the new millennium. the high-speed ethernet backbone
of the powernet system uses the same infrastructure that delivers gigabits of data to millions of internet and
e-mail users. this open design of a powernet network allows multiple users and vendors to share the same network,
eliminating the need for proprietary networks dedicated to a single vendor. |

our customers know their power distribution system like the back
of their hand
. . . . . and they don't even leave their desks.
how many times have you visited your gear to gather information? information including
how a device was set, like breaker trip units and relaying devices. information including energy usage or voltage
and current levels. what about information that includes why a device tripped off line? well, at one time, our
industry did this quite often. in fact engineers still allocate much of their time to visiting substations and
other types of gear recording data that we can now record over the network.
we do more than just record energy data and allocate energy costs, we enable you
to change device setpoints, view your current and voltage waveforms, view your device trip curves for your protective
devices in your facility. we do all this from your desk for a facility that can be on the other side of the globe.
