Socomec Unveils DIRIS Digiware & BCMS 720 for Electrical Measurement

Socomec launched Diris Digiware,a totally modular and flexible energy measurement and monitoring systemand Diris BCMS(Branch Circuit Monitoring System) 720 for monitoring up to 72 single-phase branch circuits.

DIRIS Digiware

DIRIS Digiware is a simple solution for building a modular measurement system. Thesystem comprises of a display unit, a voltage measurement module, multiple current measurement modules and current sensors.

• Acentralised display and a single voltage measuring pointfor the entire system.
• Current measurement modulesthat are interconnected via the Digiware bus (RJ45 cables) for measuring energy consumption at the closest point to the actual loads.Each module can monitor one or more circuits via the current sensorsby means of independent current inputs (3, 4 or 6 depending on the modules).With 3 inputs, acurrent module can monitor a three-phase circuit or 3 single-phase circuits.

 Uses cases of DIRIS Digiware:

For contractors and panel builders:

• DIRIS Digiware is a plug & play solution: its RJ45 and RJ12 connections means that the modules can be very quickly integrated, as well as enabling the automatic configuration of the connected current sensors.
• Implementation takes a quarter of the time normally required, the compact design of the modules frees up more space in electrical equipment cabinets, and the common voltage measurement, display and communication functions offer up to 30% savings compared to existing metering technology.

For end-users:

• The accuracy of the system over a wide range of loads means it has precision in terms of energy measurements, thereby optimising any energy efficiency initiatives.
• DIRIS Digiware enables the identification of major loads and constantly monitors multiple electrical parameters for any anomalies. With its capacity to keep a check on the quality of electrical energy, the system can more easily anticipate network malfunctions.
• The system can be easily retro-fitted in an existing facility thanks to the split-core current sensor options.

BCMS 720features

In addition to monitoring the current, energy and power on up to 72 single-phase branchcircuits, the unit can measure an extra 2 main incomers – and all in just onesingle device to save even more space. The DIRIS BCMS 720 unit helps improve the energyefficiency of critical buildings by providing the following: maximising energy availability,allocating energy consumption, optimisation of the data center’s power resources andreducing energy bills. With its compact design and connection options (split-core currenttransformers and any combination of 6 and 9 CT strips of 18mm pitch), the DIRIS BCMS 720 iseasily integrated in PDUs whether in new facilities or renovation projects.
