The Front Panel
Local monitoring and standalone applications are facilitated by the meter’s front
panel interface. The front panel combines real-time display features with limited
device configuration functions.
The front panel is often used in combination with an ION software system,
providing an interface for field personnel.
WebMeter
®
Embedded Web Server Feature
An on-board web server combined with an Ethernet port provides quick and easy
access to real-time energy and basic power quality information without special
software: this is WebMeter functionality. The built-in web pages display a range of
energy and basic power quality information through the web-enabled device;
these pages even support basic meter configuration tasks.
MeterM@il
®
Internal E-Mail Server Feature
Configure the meter to automatically email high-priority alarm notifications or
scheduled system-status update messages to anyone, anywhere within the facility
or around the world. Specify the type of event that triggers an email alert, such as
power quality disturbances or logged data at any pre-determined interval, and
have your ION software administrator program the meter to respond with a
MeterM@il message when these events occur. MeterM@il messages can be
received like any email message over a workstation, cell phone, pager, or PDA.
XML Compatibility
The meters can exchange information using industry-standard XML format. This
simple machine-readable format supports easy integration with custom reporting,
spreadsheet, database, and other applications.
ION Enterprise™ Software
The complete ION Enterprise software package enables the meter to be part of a
fully networked information system with other meters and local and wide-area
computer networks. ION Enterprise is recommended for all power monitoring
systems where advanced analysis and control capabilities are required.
ION Enterprise provides tools for managing your power monitoring network,
logging data, analyzing real-time and logged data, generating power system
reports, and creating custom functionality at the meter level.
ION Enterprise also offers two ways to remotely view information through a web
browser: WebReach and Microsoft Terminal Services.
◆ WebReach only requires an URL to display a meter’s real-time data and select
views of historical and waveform data from a web browser; there is no client
machine configuration. WebReach is a data display application; there is no
control functionality available through it.
◆ Microsoft Terminal Services enable full ION Enterprise functionality, including
control features. Some client machine configuration is required.
