Solar Monitoring Web Server and Cellular Modem


Buffalo Grove, IL - Carlo Gavazzi is proud to announce the launch of two new Eos-Array Web modules: the VMU-C Web Server and the VMU-W Cellular Wireless Modem, which further complement the Eos-Array, which is dedicated to the management, monitoring and control of systems for PV plants.

Full monitoring of solar plants is accomplished by the combination of our existing Eos-Array modules: the VMU-S, VMU-P and VMU-O, along with the newly released EOS-Web modules, the VMU-C and VMU-W. VMU-S string level monitoring module, VMU-P the environmental measurement module and VMU-O the input/output module handle measurements and control function split into independent modules. The VMU-C Web module, acting as a compact web server, is able to gather data from EOS-Array modules, Inverters and Carlo Gavazzi AC Energy meters. VMU-C EOS-Web module, in combination with Eos-Array as a comprehensive control solution, is capable of showing the efficiency yield graphs, and handling the management of of information, all accessible to the user through the web-browser. The VMU-W mobile modem unit can be added if wired internet connection is not available. The Eos-Web together with up to 11 Eos-Arrays are an ideal and cost effective solution for monitoring and controlling up to 1MW solar plants.

VMU-C Web Server Module:

· Micro PC with web-server and web-service capability

· Management of AC and DC measurements

· BOS, performance ratio and yield efficiency calculation

· Variables shown as graphs and tables

· Alarm control with emailing and SMS capability

· Can manage up to 18 VMU modules via loacal bus

· Or up to 11 independent EOS Arrays

· Can connect to one AC energu meter, one inverter

· V, A, kW, kWh DC (with VMU-S) AC (energy meters)

· Environmental measurements (with VMU-P)

· Internal data storage up to 30 years

· Optional data backup on micro SDHC memory

· Two RS-485, one Ethernet, two USB ports

· Dimensions: 2-DIN modules

VMU-W Cellular Modem for use with the VMU-C:

· Mobile based communication for VMU-C module

· Quad band GSM-GPRS-EDBGE standards

· Dual band UMTS-HSPA standards

· M2M SIM compatibility

· Three versions: North American, Asian and Europen

· Dimensions: 2-DIN modules

The Eos-Array, VMU-C and VMU-W Solar Management, Monitoring and Control Products are available from Carlo Gavazzi's North American network of sales offices / distributors or www.GavazziOnline.com.
