WAGES monitoring

WAGES monitoring allows you to record and analyze all energy sources and utilities usage.

Your energy system may use several different types of energy. For example, you may consume steam or compressed air for industrial processes, electricity for lights and computers, water for cooling and natural gas for heating. WAGES monitoring collects the usage information from all these different energy sources to enable a more complete energy analysis.

WAGES information can help you:

•Identify losses or inefficiencies.

•Modify demand to reduce costs.

•Optimize energy source usage.

WAGES application example

You can connect your meter’s digital input to a transducer that sends a pulse for every 15 liters of water. After configuring an input metering channel and assigning it to the digital input, the meter is able to detect and record the incoming pulses. An energy management system can then use the information from the meter to perform WAGES analysis.

Digital input setup

The digital input ports (S1 to S4) can be configured using the front panel or ION Setup software.

NOTE: It is recommended you use ION Setup to configure the digital inputs, as setup parameters that require text entry can only be modified using ION Setup.

Configuring digital inputs using ION Setup

You can use ION Setup to configure the digital inputs.

1.Start ION Setup.

2.Connect to your meter.

3.Navigate to I/O configuration > I/O Setup.

4.Select a digital input to configure and click Edit. The setup screen for that digital input is displayed.

5.Enter a descriptive name for the digital input’s Label.
