Socomec’s new branch circuit monitoring system: power, efficiency, control

Socomec has expanded its energy metering portfolio to offer a compact new system that can simultaneously monitor up to 72 branch circuits: DIRIS BCMS 720.

Monitor up to 72 branch circuits.

The DIRIS BCMS 720 can simultaneously monitor up to 72 branch circuits. Furthermore, 10 additional circuits (mains incomers) can also be monitored – all within a single device to optimise space usage.

 

Improved energy efficiency: power through control.

 

The new DIRIS BCMS 720 system significantly improves energy efficiency by permanently monitoring the current, energy and power on distribution circuits. Its compact form means that the system can be easily retro-fitted into all types of Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or Remote Power Panel (RPP).

 

Engineered for Data Centers and service buildings, the DIRIS BCMS 720 delivers reduced energy consumption in parallel with increased power availability, therefore maximising uptime.

 

 

Energy measurement, alarm management, communications.

The DIRIS BCMS 720 accurately measures current, power and power factor determining the energy consumption for all distribution circuits and mains incomers. The system can also measure voltage and frequency on one or two mains incomers.

A further advantage is that users can configure the alarms for different events, such as over-currents, under and over voltage, zero current, for example.

Modbus and SNMP communication facilitates easy integration into any energy or power management software (EMS / PMS).

The DIRIS BCMS 720 is fully compliant with standard IEC 60950-1 – the standard governing materials safety in information technology equipment – and also carries the CE mark.
