Energy costs are becoming a significant expense in most processes. With increased energy unit costs, decreased generating capacity, and the environmental concerns with the burning of fossil fuels, it is important that companies reduce their electrical consumption.

Carlo Gavazzi offers a broad range of energy meters and power quality meters and transducers for monitoring energy consumption as well as problems with power quality. In addition, meters such as our EM500 and WM40 also offer optional digital inputs for interfacing to water and gas meters thereby allowing access to electrical, gas and water usage with just one device.

As an alternative to the traditional desktop software, Carlo Gavazzi offers the innovative UWP data acquisition module which allows multiple meters and transducers to be connected and providing a built-in web interface to allow viewing and trending of real and historical data. In addition, it also offers FTP pushing of data as well as a Modbus TCP interface if you would like to read the data from your current energy management system. In cases where a LAN is not available, the UWP is also available with a wireless modem.

For even larger systems, we offer the EM² server software for monitoring virtually any number of meters.

In addition, with the move towards renewable energy, monitoring of photo-voltaic strings is becoming important in order to maximize generating capacity. Our UWP allows you to monitor the current, voltage, power, temperature, and irradiation levels of your entire solar installation.
