Looking for assistance with energy management solutions? The expandable
Eos-Array from Carlo Gavazzi, is a combination of modules which perform the complete monitoring and control of a photovoltaic plant. The core unit is the VMU-M which performs the local bus management of the measuring units, the VMU-S and the VMU-P, as well as the I/O unit, the VMU-O. The VMU-M features RS485 serial communications and assigns the proper local unit address automatically. It also gathers all the local measurements coming from VMU-S and VMU-P measuring units.

The VMU-M can provide, by means of VMU-O modules, two relay outputs to manage alarms and/or external loads (such as a lighting system, a PV washing system, etc.) and two PV panel temperature inputs. The VMU-S is the DC string level power measuring unit (generated by the PV panel), which also features a built-in fuse holder. The VMU-P collects relevant environmental data (through external sensors) such as wind speed, air temperature and sun irradiation. The Eos-ArraySoft is free software, which automatically or manually can download the Eos-Array system memory to the PC, for further PV plant efficiency calculations and alarm analysis.

An interpreter is available to provide seamless communication from one person to the next. Different electric signals are common in the world of Industrial automation. Communication modules are used as connectors for sending different electric signals, including converting RS-232, RS-422/485 signals and making the series information of servo and control devices compatible with one another.
Good communication is essential in the workplace, be it between employees or equipment. Marshall Wolf Automation can provide your workplace with the necessary communication modules for your equipment. (Employee communication... you are on your own with that one.) We offer communication modules from Delta and Autonics. Visit our website at www.wolfautomation.com to see our complete line of products.

After a trip to the mall to take my 21 month old to see the Easter Bunny I think I can recommend a few products...
First of all the Easter Bunny needs some specialty tower lighting and industrial warning lights. Parents can warn the Bunny of a scared child, the Easter Bunny can alert his assistants that he needs another dose of Advil.
The warning lights can be used by the kids when they have had enough and really, REALLY want to get off his lap. Likewise the Easter Bunny deserves an emergency e-stop when HE has had enough.
Maybe communication modules could be used to let everyone know what is going to happen and what is expected of them?
My daughter was excited to see the Easter Bunny... until she realized we were getting closer and she was actually going to sit with him. She stuck it out but when she was walking away and the Easter Bunny tried to follow she made sure he understood that this meeting was over by starting to wave while walking backwards and very loudly saying 'bye bye bunny, bye bye!'.
Happy Easter everyone! I'd love to hear your Easter Bunny visit stories, send them to beckie@wolfautomation.com.

My first guess would be photos of electricity gone wild. My next guess would be photos of electric voltage boxes. Personally, I think photos of electricity gone wild would be a lot more fun to look at. Since we sell photovoltaic/solar energy management solutions I figured I should find out the real definition and who might use these systems.
Here is the technical definition of photovoltaic material: Photovoltaic material converts solar radiation into direct current electricity. That being said, how do you use it? The Carlo Gavazzi Eos-Array is a system of modular components that provide efficient, local control of a solar plant. The Eos-Box is a web server that controls and supervises the whole installation! You must start with the VMU-M, the master module. You can then add up to 15 VMU-S modules (variable measuring unit), 1 VMU-P (environmental measuring unit) and 7 VMU-O modules (necessary to be used in combination with VMU-M modules.
After all that, I am still unclear on all of the details involved in the EOS-Array. However, I hope I have piqued your interest in these products. We have technical personnel who are well versed in these products and they can answer all of your questions. You can contact us at 1-800-325-WOLF.

I was recently looking through the 'Innovation for Energy Management' brochure from Carlo Gavazzi and thought I would focus a few blogs on this topic.
Why do you need an energy management solution?Most companies understand the need - government rebate programs for energy savings, tighter operating margins and decreasing profits are all good reasons to implement an energy management program.
Many businesses have fixed energy charges related to power demand, if they exceed the agreed power demand they are forced to pay extra costs and surcharges.
What is an energy management solution?A typical
energy management system might include utility and power quality metering analyzers located at the service entrance and strategic points throughout your facility.
Data can be transmitted to a host PC over a serial link using communication modules.
Energy management software improves real-time data from several networked nodes to compile a power profile.
What will an energy management solution do for your company?Our
Carlo Gavazzi energy management solutions provide information so you can identify consumption trends and take corrective actions.
Analyzing the power profile can help you negotiate better terms with your utility company. Real time power consumption monitoring also allows you to anticipate overload conditions that might, for instance, trip a circuit breaker.
Energy management systems can include alarms that will warn managers if preset limit are reached.
