Measurement point management

Measurement data recording

Energy reporting

Thanks to the interface diversity of the B-CON energy management system, the integration of different energy data recording devices and readout systems functions easily and seamlessly: Meter readings and operating data can be recorded in no time at all, regardless of whether they are provided via open protocols such as M-Bus, Modbus, BACnet, KNX, OPC, etc., or by your energy provider via MSCONS. The B-CON measurement point management enables the creation of virtual measurement points, its measurement values, and a simple mathematical editor. The B-CON measurement data recording enables easy manual recording of measurement data on the PC or mobile end-user devices.

The B-CON measurement point management enables you to easily define measuring points, such as consumption meters, operating data, and calculated virtual measurements, for integration into your energy management. It excels through, among other things:

• Capturing of measurements from all connected automation and consumption meter systems
• Inclusion of all information relevant to energy management
• High-performance formula editor for the formation of virtual measurements
• Direct calculation of energy consumption indicators, including the unit (e.g. power consumption per square meter)
• Definition of maximum consumption per time interval with alarm function
• Organization of measuring points in the hierarchy of your properties
• Convenient system operation via web browsers (HTML5)

The B-CON EnMS measurement recording feature supports both remotely readable meters from virtually any manufacturer and manual capturing of measurement data at the desktop PC or via smartphone or web pad. You may benefit from the following functions:

• Capturing of the values from all measuring points in your organization remotely (bus systems) or manually
• Intuitive online recording on a PC via web browser or via mobile devices such as smartphone or tablet
• Option for offline capturing with interim storage in case of capturing by smartphone or tablet
• Documentation and storage of captured measurement values compliant with standards
• Convenient system operation via web browsers (HTML5)

With just a few clicks, you can create and save B-CON reports about various measurement points, as well as tailored, weather-adjusted energy reports. Reports can be automatically sent by e-mail to facilitate your energy accounting. The possibility of linking measurement data with system visualization of the operator workstation supports quick analysis and actions for efficient energy management. You may benefit from the following functions, for example:

• Weather compensation for reports
• Diverse display options in diagrams
• Easy, direct report creation in Excel or PDF
• Management of reports in a public, user-specific report archive
• Automated sending of reports
• Convenient system operation via web browsers (HTML5)

We have collected the most important information about the ICONAG energy management system (EnMS) for your in our brochure on solutions for energy monitoring and management. The brochure is available for free download here.

The allocation of energy consumption data to the appropriate cost centers and buildings is part of the costing process in a business. Cost center allocation can be run independently as a B-CON function module, or licensed as an expansion module for an energy management system (EnMS). As a user of the ICONAG cost center allocation, you especially benefit from:

• Aggregation of all consumption data from different reading systems with M-Bus, ModBus, BACnet, KNX, etc.
• Consumer-specific allocation of consumption data, including the use of different distribution keys
• Central data storage, provision to other applications via standardized interfaces
• Processing in spreadsheets and graphics that can be integrated directly into presentations
• Individualized energy reports
• Automated distribution of energy reports via e-mail

We have collected the key functions of B-CON cost center allocation in a data sheet. It is available for download here.
