July 18, 2012 - Eaton announced Power Xpert 200E gateway, an intelligent solution that collects energy usage data from meters, enabling customers to benchmark energy usage, set energy management goals, determine the effectiveness of energy management initiatives and reduce energy costs. The Power Xpert 200E gateway reports on energy usage at the device, building and campus levels, indicating energy usage trends and developing a baseline to enable customers to maximize energy efficiency. Enabling customers to measure and verify energy usage, the Power Xpert 200E gateway acquires data that can be instrumental in helping both existing and new buildings take advantage of government incentives. Customers can use the data from the Power Xpert 200E gateway for existing buildings to obtain the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR label, and new buildings to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) credits through the U.S. Green Building Council. The Power Xpert 200E gateway is engineered to be used as a data acquisition tool for serially communicating energy meters – through an embedded web server or connect to Ethernet-based applications – including enterprise management, demand response and smart grid programs. With the Eaton Digital Input Module, the Power Xpert 200E gateway can also monitor and water, air, gas, electric and steam meters, sothat customers can monitor energy usage patterns and identify opportunities for efficiency and improvements. No software is required to access energy data, yet the data is importable into other systems. Additionally, the Eaton Power Xpert 200E gateways can be used with the Power Xpert EnergyViewer, a free software download. The Power Xpert Energy Viewer provides a simple way to gather key energy parameters and display them in easy-to-readreports to make informed power management decisions.
“Eaton is helping customers use electrical power more efficiently and control energy costs,” said Rick Schear, Eaton product manager. “The Power Xpert 200E gateways provide an economical solution for measuring and improving building energy efficiency. It allows customers to allocate energy costs, reduce peak demand surcharges and power factor penalties.”
