BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., June 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 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 local bus
-- Or up to 11 independent EOS Arrays
-- Can connect to one AC energy 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 European
-- 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 http://www.GavazziOnline.com.
Carlo Gavazzi's Market Development Manager will be speaking about "Comprehensive Performance Monitoring of Photovoltaic Systems" at Intersolar North America's "Innovative Exchange Stage" on Tuesday, July 10 at 11AM to 11:30AM at the Moscone Center, West Hall, Level 3.
