Janitza visualisation software and other utilities for energy management

Author: Messung Electrical Engineering

For Electrical and Maintenance engineers working in Manufacturing and Hospitality sector, the challenge is tosupervise plant-wide energy utilisation and manage their electric infrastructure in a systematic, optimised way.

Janitza GmbH is a globally renowned and leading supplier of energy efficiency systems. Their digital energy meters, power quality monitoring systems.

Let’s glance through the features of GridVis®.

DOCUMENTATION

  • Energy overviews
  • Energy invoice
  • Residual current analysis
  • System acceptane
  • Utilization report

ANALYSIS AND EVALUATION

  • Event browser
  • Power Quality Analysis
  • Online and historical graphs
  • Statistical evaluations
  • CBEMA curve
  • RCM analysis

VISUALISATION

  • Professional editor for creating dashboards
  • Dashboards and templates: free design of overviews
  • Large number of widgets and functions:
  • Line, bar and pie charts, heat map, Sankey, key performance indicators (KPI), tables, indicators, duration line, weather, live values, links and much more.

SAFETY AND ALARM MANAGEMENT

  • Monitoring limit values
  • Alerts via web UI, e-mail or external program
  • Escalation stages for demand-based alerting
  • Full access to measurement data and communication parameters

CONNECTIVITY

  • OPC UA client and server (optional)
  • REST API (M2M solution)
  • External Modbus devices (3rd Party Devices)
  • CSV, XLS import & export
  • MSCONS (load profile, counter data, import and export)
  • Graphical pmming supports the creation and configuration of mathematical functions and logical links
  • Device’s own digital outputs can be set
  • Digital inputs can be easily evaluated
  • The processing and writing of registers belonging to external devices can be implemented via the Modbus
  • There are 7 memory spaces available, each with 128 kByte, for saving the programs.
  • Simultaneous operation of these 7 programs possible

APPs - EXPANSIONS WITH KNOW-HOW

Janitza offers a number of software-based expansions for the measurement devices. The programming language for creating APPs is Jasic®.

Alternatively, the programming can also be implemented graphically with the GridVis®. Development of further APPs for the measurement devices by the user and third parties is possible.

Some of the APPs include:

APP Push Service:

  • Sending data directly from the device to the energy portal (without additional software)
  • The delivery of data is implemented via port 80
  • Data can be saved in a MySQL database automatically
  • Data can be visualized via a web server by means of a web browser
  • Only Jasic-capable devices are supported (UMG 604-PRO / UMG 605-PRO / UMG 509-PRO and UMG 512-PRO)
  • UMG 96RM-EL with integrated Push App function is supported.

APP IEC 61000-2-4 Watchdog:

  • Integrated watchdog function accordance with standard IEC 61000-2-4

No need to transmit large volmes of measured data from themeasurement device to a host system

  • Save on communications costs for applications with remote consumers
  • Simple analysis possible thanks to integrated colour display basedon a "traffic light" system
  • Possible to perform power quality analyses even with no particularknowledge on the topic
  • No alarm functionality

APP Alert Messenger:

  • Configurable Jasic® program for sending fault messages by email
  • Depending on configuration, sending of fault messages with the following events: Total harmonic distortion voltage exceeded, short-term interruption detected, transient detected
  • Saving the meter readings for the event and transient messages in the Modbus register
  • Option to monitor additional measured values via an interface (not included)
  • Emails*1 with consumption values for day, week and month can be sent (a non-encrypted mail server is required)

DEVICE HOMEPAGEThe Device Homepage facilitates power management andpower quality analysis online. It is ideal for users or targetgroups within a company, who do not wish to install the GridVis® Power Grid MonitoringSoftware or do not require it. For access to this, the user simply requires a conventionalweb browser and an Ethernet connection (or a local patch cable). The screens have beengraphically revised and have now been made even more user-friendly. Because a multitude of PQ measured values can be displayed inaddition to the countless standard electrical values, for many users the measuring devicehomepage constitutes the basic configuration for a monitoring system.

Features include:

  • Access to the powerful meter-homepage via webbrowser
  • No software installation necessary
  • Real-time data, historical data etc. directly accessible via the meter home page
  • Possibility to control the device remotely
  • Password protection possible
