ZB116 reduces energy consumption by powering down non-essential equipment
Intelligent Distributed Controls
ZB116 energy-saving power blocks
IDC has launched the ZB116, a smaller version of its energy-saving power blocks, which is designed to reduce energy consumption by automatically powering down non-essential equipment in applications such as lighting, heating, air conditioning and IT data centres.
The device can be positioned anywhere in buildings or plant, making system expansion possible without the need for physical data buses such as USB and Ethernet cables.
It can be installed in walls, ceilings or desk furniture via standard plug-and-socket connectors provided at each of its ends.
The web-based Smart Energy Manager enables businesses to audit, monitor and manage energy consumption, ensuring that more accurate service-usage figures are being collected.
Key specifications
- Comprises a 240V AC remotely operated switch with real-time smart metering in a self-contained unit
- Programmable for automatic or remote control
- Integrates a PCB with remotely controlled 15A isolation relay and a wireless smart energy meter
- Uses the IEEE802.15.4/Zigbee wireless network
- Enables up to 100 devices to be connected to a single gateway
- Devices are able to relay each other’s traffic and be interrogated remotely, bypassing wired networks completely
- Integrated PCB measures the power consumed by the ZB116 socket
- Measures amps, volts and power-factor readings, all of which can be logged in IDC’s hosted server by the wireless gateway
- Enables central analysis of the power that is being consumed by large numbers of the ZB116 units
