Application requirements
Energy monitoring & management systems
Energy monitoring requires a clear measurement objective and careful attention to the electrical environment. Hardware, firmware and data interfaces need to be defined together, with safety and specialist validation responsibilities explicit.
Start with the constraints.
- Measurement range, sampling, accuracy targets and calibration approach.
- Isolation, installation and applicable electrical safety requirements.
- Telemetry, reporting, alerts and integration with existing monitoring tools.
Can measurements be viewed remotely?
A connected design can send readings through a suitable gateway or network to an application. We define data frequency, access control, connection recovery and measurement requirements before implementation.
