OPTOEMU-SNR-DR1

Availability: Obsolete
OBSOLETE Energy monitoring unit with Demand Response capability (Wired+Wireless)

Production Specification

NOTE: This product is obsolete and no longer available, due to the unavailability of essential components required to manufacture it. If you can use wired Ethernet communications, see the OPTOEMU-SNR-DR2 instead. 

---------------------------------
The OPTOEMU-SNR-DR1 energy monitoring unit monitors the electrical energy used in your facility and then signals electrical equipment to turn on or off in response to a request from an electric utility, demand response aggregator, or curtailment service provider (CSP). To reduce peak energy use that triggers demand charges, electrical equipment loads can also be shed on predefined usage thresholds.

OPTOEMU-SNR-DR1 monitors up to two KY or KYZ pulsing devices, such as a pulsing meter or submeter, and up to 64 data inputs from Modbus devices over serial and Ethernet. The unit sends this data to an online service of your choosing, so you can see and analyze energy usage. The unit can also send energy data to control systems and company databases.

The unit's four signal relay outputs can be used to automatically respond to a DR event by signaling equipment such as HVAC fans and chillers to turn on or off, or signaling existing energy or building management systems to perform load shedding. Each Form C output can be wired for normally open or normally closed.

An easy-to-use utility program for configuring the unit is included. You can download this OptoEMU Sensor Manager for free; it also comes on a CD with the Sensor.

The OPTOEMU-SNR-DR1 communicates with online services and computer networks over a standard 10/100 Mbps wired Ethernet network, over an 802.11a/b/g wireless LAN (local area network), or over both simultaneously.

If you do not need WLAN capability, see the OPTOEMU-SNR-DR2.

If you need to monitor voltage and current directly from an electrical panel or electrical equipment (not through a pulsing meter or Modbus device), see the OPTOEMU-SNR-3V.

OptoEMU Sensor Communication Guide

OptoEMU Sensor™ Energy Monitoring Units monitor the electrical energy used in your facility and then deliver that data to applications so you can see it, analyze it, and take steps to reduce energy costs.

The OptoEMU Sensor can provide data to web-based or local software services; to control systems based on Opto 22’s PAC Project™ software and Modbus/TCP; to OPC clients; and to standard SQL databases. This Communication Guide shows you how to communicate with the Sensor in all these ways.

NOTE: To install and use the OptoEMU Sensor and see energy data through online software services such as Pulse Energy and eSight, see Form 1932, OptoEMU Sensor User's Guide. If you are using the Sensor only with these online services, you do not need this Communication Guide.

Demand-Response Energy Monitoring Unit from Opto 22 Monitors Real-Time Power Usage and Manages Electrical Loads on Demand

The OptoEMU Sensor DR energy monitoring unit from Opto 22 monitors the electrical energy used in your facility and then signals electrical equipment to turn on or off in response to a request from an electric utility, demand response aggregator, or curtailment service provider (CSP). To reduce peak energy use that triggers demand charges, electrical equipment loads can also be shed on predefined usage thresholds.

OptoEMU Sensor DR Quick Start Card

The OptoEMU Sensor DR monitors energy usage in your building or facility and sends energy data so you can see it online and use it in building and control systems. You can analyze patterns, identify ways to reduce energy costs, and respond to demand response (DR) events either manually or automatically.

The OptoEMU Sensor DR Quick Start Card shows you how to begin using the OptoEMU Sensor DR. For more detailed steps, see Form 1932, OptoEMU Sensor User's Guide.

Energy Monitoring for Profit: Introducing Demand Response

This white paper introduces the concept of demand response (DR) in energy management. DR offers an opportunity for industrial and commercial businesses to not just reduce energy costs, but also earn a revenue stream from their use of electrical energy.

The paper briefly discusses how electrical energy is produced and distributed in the United States and then describes four practical steps automation professionals can begin now to take advantage of DR programs in their area.

Energy Monitoring Made Simple

This two-page, full-color brochure describes the OptoEMU Sensor energy monitoring unit, including diagrams, brief description, and specifications.

Automation and the Smart Grid: Energy Management Today

This white paper looks at the way electricity is produced in the United States today and the vision for a "Smart Grid" in the future.

The paper also discusses specific ways that small and medium-sized industrial and commercial businesses can manage electrical usage and costs today, without waiting for Smart Grid technology.
