POWER AND CONDITION MONITORING
SENTRON Powermanager
The expert solution for transparent power distribution
Rising energy prices and increased sensitivity to environmental issues are causing many companies to take a critical look at their power requirements. To achieve sustainable corporate goals, it’s especially important that energy data from all areas of the company be gathered and visualized in a straightforward and easy-to-understand manner which is exactly what the SENTRON Powermanager energy monitoring software does.
​
Detailed energy transparency
The platform-independent OPC DA & OPC UA server / client ensures a seamless flow of information between devices from different manufacturers. SENTRON Powermanager gathers the energy data from communication capable measuring, switching, and protection devices in the SENTRON portfolio or from third-party devices, saves this data, and makes it available for further analyses - for example, in predefined, customizable dashboards. The evaluation of load peaks and load profiles makes it possible to reduce energy costs. And the continuous monitoring of power distribution enables the early detection of critical plant states, which results in high plant availability.

Corporate energy management for high plant availability
SENTRON Powermanager provides extensive basic functions and manages the processing and export of data for energy reports, making it the optimal foundation for a corporate energy monitoring system according to ISO 50001 with the appropriate Declaration of Conformity. The integrated long-term archive for the most important measured values also permits the evaluation of data over longer periods of time. Potential savings measures can be derived directly and faults can be rapidly located. Predefined reports and messages as well as mapping of your company’s key performance indicators make it easier for you to implement the system.
Optimize energy consumption and maintenance
Obtain targeted information on your plant’s important performance indicators so that you can maintain full control at all times. In addition to electrical characteristics like current and voltage, this also includes status information like energy and performance values. The result is condition-based maintenance that always tells you which devices need to be repaired or replaced.
Reliability in every aspect
Whether it’s fault tolerance through condition monitoring, investment protection, or the protection of your data, SENTRON Powermanager offers you reliability in every aspect. This includes optimal investment protection for existing equipment, thanks to the simple connection of all SENTRON devices and any other Modbus devices (including third-party).
All communications access – for example, to SENTRON Powercenter 3000 – is via a single IP address. This means the simplification of commissioning, ongoing operation, and security settings.
