1System Description
PMMS (Power Monitor & Management Solution) is a power management system
developed by ICP DAS. PMMS mainly consists of two parts: PMC-5141 (Power
Meter Concentrator) and ICP DAS Compact Power Meters. PMC-5141 connects to
ICP DAS compact power meter via RS-485 to read the power data of the devices; and
then save the power data and send the data to back-end FTP Server or SCADA
software for further data integration or analysis. PMC-5141 also provides power
demand management and alarm notification functions. With ICP DAS I/O modules
(XW-107), according to the power demand level it allows to turn on/off the devices
to manage the power consumption of the devices. In addition, PMC-5141 offers
built-in Web Server, it allows users to connect to PMC-5141 via browser to view
power data or set up parameters for the controllers or view the real-time or historical
power data of the devices. By using Flash HMI Tools function, users could easily
design a specific power monitor page by a few clicks on browsers. In addition,
PMC-5141 offers Modbus TCP Slave function; it allows SCADA software or HMI
devices to connect to PMC-5141 to get the front-end power meter data via Modbus
TCP protocol.
During the whole process of system development, no programming is required; it
takes a few clicks on web page to complete settings and to store the power data of the
devices in the database for further analysis.
