Products: Automated Power Control Module
Reduce site ‘power up/power down’ time and ensure efficient automated control. Combine the cutting edge uHDMS platform with the cost saving and energy efficient Power Control Module from Digital Media Projects
Extend the ultra cost effective uHDMS platform with DMP’s Power Control Module
Energy saving and energy efficiency are both critical for environmental and economic sustainability, and in meeting organisational and regulatory standards. Digital Media Projects Power Control Module provides a key milestone in giving companies automated and granular level control over their power efficiency. The PCM provides the ability to switch on and off individual or grouped devices in a pre-scheduled and automated manner.
Working in unison with our market leading uHDMS, the Power Control Module is configured with the uHDMS which then acts as a central ‘clock’ and is updatable via the Internet. The units are able to work almost autonomously after they are configured, with the uHDMS being used for any changes to the ‘power up and ‘power down’ schedule and to provide the main interface and timing mechanism for the system.
Cost Saving
Granular control is essential for large organisations - and it’s not just about energy saving. Many companies pay the utility companies based on their peak energy usage. This time generally occurs during ‘power on’, when a complete building is brought to life at the start of the day. This means that companies typically pay for their daily energy usage based on a surge created during ‘power on’ time, rather than for an average of the day’s energy usage. The PCM allows for staggered ‘power on’ thereby reducing the energy spikes and costs.
Time Saving
Powering up and down a large retail unit or company site can typically take between 1 and 4 hours, causing system down time and reduced selling hours for sales staff. The Power Control Module removes the need for ‘human’ time spent on powering up a site by being fully automated and centrally controlled. More than this - ‘power on’ demands on electrical systems can cause tripped circuit breakers. This can have a devastating effect on site down time and also increases costly maintenance bills.
Key Features
- Avoid tripped circuit breakers by bringing appliances online in a scheduled ordered manner
- Manage up to 8 appliances with one unit
- Automated control of ‘power on’ and ‘power off’ using scheduled IP updates
- Centralised control of ‘power up and ‘power down’ scheduled from a head office location
- Schedules easily updatable to reflect trading times via IP
