Rockwell Automation Power and Energy Management: Meeting Changing Demands

Why change your energy consumption? In today’s world, energy and demand costs have a definite impact on your company’s bottom line. To be a well-informed energy consumer, you must know how much power you use, what your major loads are, when you use electric power the most, and how much you pay for it. It’s also important to understand the quality of the power you use. Poor power quality reduces productivity and shortens equipment life, which can drive down your company’s profits.

Rockwell Automation’s Power & Energy Management Solutions (PEMS) provides you with access to a complete portfolio of systems, products, communications, and applications.

• PEMS offers turnkey-engineered energy systems configured to your company’s specific needs. These systems leverage Rockwell Automation’s 30 years of experience developing engineered systems and provide you with a single point of contact, making your system easy to implement and maintain.

• Rockwell Automation combines a full line of power-monitoring hardware with Allen Bradley’s controllers, I/O, MCCs, and drives to provide unique and exclusive functionality to help you manage your energy. PEMS software helps configure power monitors and capture, analyze, store, and share real-time energy data across your entire enterprise through standard web browser access. 

• Using data effectively means having it at your fingertips. Moving the data to where they are needed across your plant is just as important as making the measurement.  Rockwell Automation’s power monitors offer a variety of communications options to PCs, PLCs, and other operator interface and control devices.

• Putting all the pieces together is the strength of PEMS. The applications focus on saving you money by enabling you to renegotiate your rates, prevent costly power quality problems, identify and correct power-delivery issues, and control demand to avoid penalties.

 In a fiercely competitive global economy, controlling and reducing costs is imperative, and energy is a prime target. Successful companies are building infrastructure that will indicate how, when, and where they use energy. These companies include water, compressed air, natural gas, electricity, and steam to implement and verify energy-saving initiatives. 

 Start controlling your energy with turnkey-engineered systems configured to your specific needs with the latest hardware and software technology to fit your energy application, network, and budget–and realize energy savings that can contribute to your bottom line.
