Our solutions

The Electrex Monitoring solutions are the ideal solution for energy audits, continuous monitoring (e.g. ISO 50001) and for energy efficiency projects (e.g. EU-Directive 2012-27 and White Certificates or Energy Efficiency Certificates). The Electrex systems are modular and can expand over time thanks to the many possibilities of connecting the devices (Wi-Fi, RS485, E-Wi, ExpBus , Ethernet, NFC, Bluetooth LE, Wireless M Bus, Sub-Ghz), and of display and management of the data collected. With a single system, you can keep track of:

• all energy carriers (electricity, gas, water, etc.);
• environmental parameters related to them (temperature,

humidity, luminosity, CO2, etc.);

• of process parameters (compressed air , calories, level,

status, etc.);

• measure the operating time of a load / appliance using a

single reference clock;

• manage Energy Automation processes (automate the

management of ON/OFF switches, automatic adjustments, remote management, alarms and more); to achieve the main objective: to reduce energy costs by optimizing production. The Electrex solutions are: INTEGRATED including all the needed hardware & software for the monitoring activity SCALABLE AND MODULAR the system’s architecture allows to easily add more modules while the Ethernet backbone makes possible remote management and features upgrades MULTI-PARAMETER is not just for electric energy; through sensors and I-O modules we can integrate also other parameters (environmental, process, state, etc). ACTIVE through LADDER programming or I-O modules we can control and command relays

POWER QUALITY ANALYSIS ENERGY AUTOMATION ALARMS AND E-MAIL NOTIFICATIONS CLOCK & CALENDARS OPERATING TIME COUNTERS

Built-in UPS

A single multi-purpose device for:

ENERGY MONITORING Meeting the most demanding applications of electrical energy monitoring (quantity and quality), other energy carriers (gas, water, compressed air, etc.), environmental and process parameters in the industry, commercial, residential, public buildings and renewable energy sectors. POWER QUALITY ANALYSIS Detection and logging of sags, swells, interruptions providing a graphical view of the single or total events registered on a time-line. Automatic classication of each event on the UNIPEDE table. Custom measurement campaigns of the harmonics and the main electrical parameters. ENERGY AUTOMATION Automation tasks programmable via the web interface running within the device for implementing complex Energy Automation functions for achieving higher energy efficiency results from any technological system. ALARMS AND E-MAIL NOTIFICATIONS This feature allows to manage simple alerts (power or PF threshold value monitoring, voltage value out of a predefined range) and more complex ones (implementing Energy Automation functions considering simultaneously more parameters like threshold values, I/O states, custom calendars) and the sending of e- mail notifications and local or remote commands for controlling I/O modules. CALENDARS This feature allows to define calendars for multiple applications, for e.g. for implementing tariffs and attribute to each work shift the specific amount of energy consumed. Together with the Energy Automation option can be used to setup automated tasks related to measurements and/or events detected or provided via the I/O module. OPERATING TIME COUNTERS For monitoring the operating time of a load/appliance and the relative amount of energy consumed. Up to 4 partial time counters are triggered every time the power consumption exceeds a certain threshold or from the ON/OFF state of an electrical contact via the inputs provided on the smart energy analyzer. The operating time counters allow to verify the effective working hours in the various modes and, for example, effectively program maintenance.

Software suite and Cloud platform

Data Analytics , reporting and sharing Beside the built-in web interface on the devices, the Electrex solutions use 2 external platforms. Each of them allow to automatically manage real-time and historical data, configure alarms and notifications, deliver custom reports

• PC based software: the Energy Brain

software integrates all the data coming from the devices in the field. The measurements are put into relation with each-other in order to detect trends and compare performances. It allows to refine the information applying data analytics and supports the user to understand system issues and therefore prioritize actions.

• Cloud platform: the cloud platform makes

possible to publish on the web clear, customized dashboard interfaces that help the user follow the components/systems most relevant to him.

Software suite

Energy Brain is a family of data acquisition, storage, and data management of electricity consumption data, other energy sources (gas, water, steam, etc.), various parameters (level of luminosity, compressed air, temperature, calories, etc.. ) and the management of Energy Automation features. Main functions:

• Configuration of Electrex devices and scheduler
• Standard and customizable graphs
• Formula editor for the calculation of cost of energy,

Baseline, EnPI (Energy Performance Indicator), KPI (Key Performance Indicators), etc.

• Editable TOU tariffs and Calendar
• Multi parameter real-time view
• Log of events related to software and instruments
• Validation / Editor of the data stored in the database
• Power Quality management (sags, swells, micro-

interruptions table)

• Import of external data (e.g. working hours, Baseline,

etc.) Energy Brain Personal Report: automates the sending of customized reports. It creates and automatically sends periodic reports (daily, weekly, monthly and yearly) based on the data collected in the Energy Brain’s database. Energy Brain Counters: for generating reports which contain the values ​of the energy counters of all, local or remote, instruments . Energy Brain Log Report: sends automatic e-mails containing specific reports on: the energy consumed/produced, thresholds exceeded, connection issues with the instruments.

Cloud platform

Energy Brain Cloud is the browser-based software that allows to view and manage live data, and historical charts with measures acquired by Electrex instruments from any PC, tablet, Smartphone. The cloud computing technology makes possible to manage the collected data via a standard Internet browser without installing any software on the user's computer or mobile device. It is composed of an instrument panel (dashboard) in which it is possible to manage several functions. The basic elements of the dashboard are graphical components called widgets. Through the widgets the user can display instantaneous and historical values as well as states (on / off), alarms, etc.. using standard or custom graphical interfaces.

Cloud platform - Widgets

There are three types of widgets: 1- Measure

The Measure widgets show instantaneous measurements, total counters, alarms, status (On/Off). It is possible to choose between three widget types: Gauge, Analog counter and Custom Background. The last one allows to upload a jpg, png and gif image and use it as the widget's background.

2 - Graphs

The Graph widgets display graphs with historical data retrived from the Electrex devices. All the data displayed on the graph are listed in a table positioned below the graph and can be exported in a CSV file.

3 - Scenario

In the Scenario widgets it is possible to upload an image (jpg, png and gif) and use it as a background on which are overlaid tooltips showing measurements from Electrex devices. The tooltips can be positioned just by "drag and drop" permitting to set up a mimic diagram.
