APPs – Smart functional extensions, directly “on-board”

With the help of APPs, the Janitza measurement devices are expended with new functions. All APPs can be transferred with the device manager (constituent part of GridVis®) and via Ethernet-connected devices – to just one device or to multiple measurement devices simultaneously.

Janitza has equipped the PRO series with APPs in order to increase the capabilities of the measurement devices. Thanks to the connection of the measurement devices, APPs and software, the measurement data is more easily interpreted and is available to the user, any-time, any-place. This avoids timeintensive and cost-intensive manual calculations.

The APPs expand, for example, the analysis and visualisation tools, with which voltage events per “IEC 61000-2-4” and “EN 50160” can be analysed and reproduced on the device's own homepage. Simple presentation facilities (e.g. traffic-light function) make faults visible in good time. This enables timely intervention and so operational processes are able to continue uninterrupted.

In addition, it is also possible to implement further function modules, monitor threshold values and send fault messages via email.

Measurement monitor

Configurable display of current and historical measured values with automatic scaling. Graphical representation on the device's own homepage without additional software installation.

The “Measurement monitor” APP shows a user-defined selection of real-time measured values as well as historical measured values from the internal memory, in the form of diagrams on the homepage of a Janitza UMG device. The most important measured values for the user are shown graphically in a visually attractive manner through the “drag & drop” function. The time window of the historical measurement data can be scaled by the user directly in the diagram. The detailed view of the graphs is thus interactive.

Scaling is automatic when displaying real-time measured values. Alongside the colourcoding of the diagram presentation, it is also possible to export the graphs as graphics files.

Data can be simply analysed at a first glance with the help of this graphical preparation. The web-based solution offers the advantages of constant availability, both on mobile end devices and on computers.

  • Your benefits:

    • Access to current and historical measured values
    • Display with scalable timebase
    • Quick and easy operation with “drag & drop”
    • Web-based solution without additional software installation
    • Can be called up on different devices such as PC, Laptop, Tablet and Smartphone

EN 50160 Watchdog PRO

Permanent monitoring of the power quality per EN 50160 in energy supply networks.

As the applicable standard, EN 50160 forms the reference point for the quality description of the electrical energy supply in public supply networks and is applicable throughout Europe.

Voltage distortions that occur in the public power distribution systems likewise lead to distortions in the customers’ industrial networks and can result in damage to machinery suites and interruptions in the production processes. In order to avoid long-term disruption and possible damage, it is essential that the energy drawn is subjected to an 'incoming goods' check. Legally secure and continuous monitoring of the power quality is necessary for this.

The power quality APP “EN 50160 Watchdog” helps have the standard interpretation carried out directly by the measurement device, in the form of an analysis of the relevant data and its comparison with the threshold values. The integrated visualisation, designed in the form of a traffic-light style indicator, enables immediate detection in the event of an infringement of the threshold values from the standard.

  • Your benefits:

    • Integrated watchdog function for automatic standard interpretation and threshold value monitoring (per EN 50160)
    • Local data analysis – No need to transmit large volumes of measured data from the measurement device to a host system
    • Network quality analysis possible even without comprehensive PQ knowledge
    • Rapid detection of events that do not comply with the quality agreements
    • Standard-compliant and continuous monitoring and ‘incoming goods’ checks of the energy supply

EC 61000-2-4 Watchdog PRO

Permanent monitoring of the power quality per EC 61000-2-4 in customers' energy supply networks.

The standard “IEC 61000-2-4” defines limits for industrial and private power distribution systems. It represents a guiding standard for many product and machinery construction standards and defines immunity levels for the voltage distortions that the machinery and systems in industrial operations must comply with in all operating states. If this level is exceeded – in particular over extended periods of time – this can lead to failures, unnecessary repair costs and possibly even to production shutdowns.

Continuous monitoring of the power quality in all technical systems per IEC 61000-2-4 is necessary in order to guarantee fault-free operation of the systems and machinery installed.

The Janitza APP “IEC 61000-2-4 Watchdog” automatically carries out the complex analysis of the measurement data in accordance with the threshold values of the standards for the user.

  • Your benefits:

    • Integrated watchdog function for automatic standard interpretation and threshold value monitoring
    • No need to transmit large volumes of measured data from the measurement device to a host system
    • Network quality analysis without comprehensive PQ knowledge
    • Rapid detection of events that do not comply with the quality agreements
    • Standard-compliant and continuous monitoring to protect company's own installed systems
