KONGSBERG RMP201-8 Digital Low Voltage Power Distribution

KONGSBERG RMP201-8 Digital Low Voltage Power Distribution

With the KONGSBERG RMP201-8 , data is made available to the algorithms of the power distribution control system as part of the abb competence cloud computing platform. Updates and alerts are sent directly to smartphones and PCs to help users identify peaks in demand. By hardwiring load management into the solution, typical savings can be as high as 20 per cent.

For on-site renewable power generation facilities, the KONGSBERG RMP201-8 digital low-voltage distribution solution also provides an intelligent way to maximise return on investment and uptime. Embedded automatic transfer switching capabilities give the system the ability to manage different power sources and loads, with adaptive protection that recognises network changes and connects and disconnects quickly and intelligently.

The KONGSBERG RMP201-8 digital low-voltage power distribution solution also enables smarter asset management, improving uptime and simplifying service costs. Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity supports cloud-based predictive maintenance algorithms to monitor equipment performance and key environmental parameters to determine service intervals. Customers can forgo routine annual maintenance and receive regular status updates and intelligent alerts when service is required.

The KONGSBERG RMP201-8 is designed for bi-directional communication, enabling communication through various serial devices on the plant floor. In addition, when using a BALUFI-link bus, the power supply for the attached serial device is provided through this connector, eliminating the need for a separate power connection. The module has a stainless steel housing, IP67 ingress protection rating and a barrel-type M18 recessed design. The barrel design ensures that the RS232 converter can be placed in very close proximity to the point of use, and standard 3 or 4 pole sensor cables can then be utilised from this interface module to the IO-Link-Master.
