PowerLogic ION Enterprise power management software

Brochure FCAS Application Support Centre

PowerLogic ION Enterprise software is a complete power management solution for energy providers and industrial or commercial operations. It gives engineering and management personnel the information they need to cut energy-related costs, avoid downtime and optimise equipment utilisation. The software uses a choice of industry-standard network technologies, including Ethernet and wireless, to automatically collect and store data from key electrical distribution points and physical assets. It forms a layer of energy intelligence across your facility, campus, service area or your entire enterprise, acting as a unified interface to electricity and other consumable resources such as water, compressed air, gas and steam. Web-enabled access gives each user a personalised view to timely, relevant information. PowerLogic ION Enterprise helps you track real-time power conditions, analyse power quality and reliability, and respond quickly to alarms to avoid critical situations. It helps you study historical trends to reveal energy waste or unused capacity as well as verify efficiency improvements and allocate costs to buildings, departments or processes. The software includes sophisticated load aggregation and arithmetic calculation. Coordinated control capabilities can be used to manage demand or power factor and to manage loads or generators. Customised information is easily seamlessly shared with all stakeholders and with other business and automation systems.
