Demand monitoring at intervals of several seconds allows prompt response to sudden load fluctuations
Monitoring intervals and control patterns to meet the demand monitoring needs of users
Constant-cycle demand
Demand time span is compatible with constant-cycle demand periods of 15 / 30 / 60 minutes.
IEC demand[Compliance with IEC 61557-12 standard]
Demand monitoring complies with the IEC 61557-12 international standard commonly used for energy-saving measures.
IEC demand (Sliding block interval and Fixed block interval)
Users set the time span for demand calculation to an arbitrary value between 1 to 60 minutes (in increments of one minute). The average power demand within the set span is calculated at the end of the span. [The demand values of active, reactive, apparent, active (export), and reactive (export) power are calculated.]
Sliding block interval method |
![Sliding block interval method](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic08.jpg) |
Sliding block interval method The next time span starts "n" minutes later. (Value "n" is arbitrarily set by users.) |
|
Fixed block interval method |
![Fixed block interval method](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic09.jpg) |
The next time span starts after completion of the current span. |
|
■Three types of control patterns
Alarm-linked control Controls loads in three steps according to conductions such as demand values to achieve peak-cut. |

|
Cyclic control Controls a group of loads in a rotation manner to reduce overall power consumption. |
![Cyclic control](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic11.jpg) |
|
Startup control Delays the startup timing to reduce inrush power and achieve peak-cut. |

Collection and storage of operation data of existing equipment using add-on device
Settings must be made using Configurator EL500 (compatible units: Modbus TCP / RTU and MEWTOCOL units).
SD memory card (sold separately) is required for data storage.
![Before](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic13.jpg)
PLC's communication program is used for serial communication and storage of equipment operation status data.

Character string data cannot be managed. |
* |
Maximum data size is four words. |
![After](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic16.jpg)
There is no need for a program for serial communication and storage of equipment operation status data.

Extension function for logging of I/O signals, analog data and temperature data
To use the extension function, it is necessary to create a program using Control FPWIN Pro7.

For use in small stores or for partial demand monitoring
Our previous product featured a small number of control points, and its applications were limited to use in small stores or monitoring of partial demand in factories. |

Use of the program function enables collection of data from other manufacturers' units that use different protocols
To use the program function, it is necessary to create a program using Control FPWIN Pro7.
![Before](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic13.jpg)
Data cannot be obtained from other manufacturers’ power meters, so receivingpoint data cannot be acquired. Therefore, demand monitoring / control is not possible.
![After](/ac/e/fasys/eco/sms/elc500/images/pic16.jpg)
Data can be obtained from other manufacturers’ power meters, so demand monitoring / control is possible.
