Rockwell Automation Introduces Allen-Bradley Powermonitor 3000 M6
Rockwell Automation (UK) introduced the Allen-Bradley Powermonitor 3000 M6, the latest addition to the Powermonitor 3000 family of products. The Powermonitor 3000 M6 is a high-end power quality monitor, used for integrating measured and calculated power parameters. Designed for industrial applications with high electrical demands, such as food, beverage and process, the Powermonitor 3000 M6 provides information for documenting and tracking energy consumption. It enables electrical usage load profiling and provides the data needed for activity-based accounting. The energy usage information supplied allows facility engineers to manage load requirements, increase system performance and achieve energy cost savings.
Powermonitor 3000 M6 has many features for power quality applications including oscillography, harmonic analysis, load profile calculations, sag and surge detection, extended event logs and additional set-points. The capability of its onboard microprocessor and advanced field-configurable communication interfaces, allows it to be used either as a standalone power monitor or as part of a large energy-monitoring network.
"Today's plant manager is looking for ways to reduce overhead expenses while maximizing production levels," explains Paul Herron, Rockwell Automation product manager. "One way is to reduce energy consumption and streamline the collection and sharing of information from the shop floor to the top floor. The Powermonitor 3000 Family provides facility engineers and plant managers with the cost-effective tools to accomplish both".
