Edge Gateway Systems for Energy Monitoring and Management

Energy costs and sustainability goals drive modern facilities to implement comprehensive energy monitoring. Advantech edge gateways integrate power meters, environmental sensors, and building systems for real-time visibility and optimization.

Power Metering Integration

The ADAM-3600, UNO-2372G, and UNO-2484G support Modbus RTU/TCP and IEC 61850 protocols for power meter connectivity. Multi-circuit monitoring tracks consumption by department, process, or equipment type.

Demand Response and Load Management

Automated demand response reduces peak loads during utility pricing signals. The gateways shed non-critical loads, adjust HVAC setpoints, and delay batch processes to minimize demand charges.

Renewable Energy Integration

Solar inverter and battery storage integration maximizes self-consumption. The gateways optimize load timing to coincide with peak generation, reducing grid imports and improving ROI on renewable investments.

FAQ

What protocols do energy gateways support?

Modbus RTU/TCP, IEC 61850, DNP3, BACnet, and proprietary meter protocols from major manufacturers like Schneider, Siemens, and ABB.
