New offering adds LonWorks protocol to company's expanding line of BAS
communication options; now available with E-Mon D-Mon Class 3000, Class
5000 and Interval Data Recorders (IDR).
Oct 26, 2009
E-Mon, LLC, the electric
submetering market leader and manufacturer of the widely installed E-Mon
D-Mon® product line, announces the availability of a new LonWorks
communication option (specify Option LTP) for converting electrical
submeter data into the LonWorks communications format for building
automation systems (BAS) and equipment control applications, including
lighting and security systems, HVAC and more. Any E-Mon D-Mon Class 3000
or Class 5000 meter or Interval Data Recorder (IDR) equipped with Option
LTP can communicate up to 40 meter data parameters to any BAS employing
the widely used LonWorks protocol. Like E-Mon's other communication
options, the LonWorks version provides similar electrical measurements,
including:
Energy and reactive energy, delivered and received (kWh);
Real power (kW), total and by phase;
Reactive (kVAR) and apparent (kVA) power, total and by phase;
Power factor (percent), total and by phase;
Current (A), voltage (V) and phase angle (degrees) by phase.
"This communication option greatly extends E-Mon's reach into the
Building Automation and Controls market by increasing the granularity of
electrical measurements that can talk to BAS via twisted pair, power line
carrier, wireless and other LonWorks-compatible media," said Don
Millstein, president and CEO of E-Mon. "With the addition of the LonWorks
option, E-Mon's complete line of communication options opens the door to
deploying submeters in more than 80 percent of new and installed BAS
control applications, including those using Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP
and Ethernet-based protocols like Modbus TCP and BACnet IP."
The LonWorks communication option is currently available for the
following E-Mon D-Mon submetering equipment:
