July 20, 2011 — E-Mon  announced the Web-Mon Enterprise Edition, an Internet-enabled energy monitoring platform that provides real-time and historical energy data via any standard Web browser. Ideal for campus and multi-building facility applications, Web-Mon Enterprise directly communicates over the facility’s existing IP backbone with remote Class 3000 and 5000 E-Mon D-Mon meters and up to three connected pulse-output utility meters per Web-Mon Enterprise device. Typical applications include schools and universities, medical complexes, business parks, military bases and other multi-building commercial, industrial and institutional users.

Web-Mon Enterprise provides a user-friendly web interface that allows live energy data, charts and graphs to be viewed via any standard Internet browser—without add-on soft-ware or extra programming to provide a “dashboard” display of kWh, kW, power factor and other advanced functions from up to 24 meter inputs.

Web-Mon affords multiple users access to key energy data and usage patterns critical in today’s energy intensive environments. The ability to view usage on demand either on-site or remotely provides energy managers and others to easily stay on top of energy conservation programs, green building initiatives or overall efficiency analysis. Whether the need is for one-page dashboards, energy profiles or raw interval data, E-Mon’s Web-Mon solutions are the answer.

Web-Mon Enterprise’s expanded functionality and flexibility derives from a number of new features:

• Hardware platform includes: AMCC PowerPC 440 @ 524MHz processor with math co-processor; 256MB SDRAM and 128MB Serial Flash; real-time clock; battery back up and AC power transformer;
• Modbus TCP/IP communications with Class 3000 and Class 5000 E-Mon D-Mon meters equipped with Modbus TCP/IP communications option;
• Displayed parameters include: electrical consumption (kWh), peak demand (kW), power factor, Volts, Amps by phase and VARs;
• Carbon footprint dashboard displays CO2, SO2, NoX and other calculations for each meter;
