Chapter 1 Energy Assessment and Monitoring Methods
Monitoring Methods
Rockwell Automation power monitors and controllers collect data from your plant floor that can be used by
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software for monitoring and analysis.
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software provides monitoring and reporting tools to help you understand usage patterns,
optimize processes, and reduce utility costs in your organization. You can use these tools to monitor electrical loads,
consumption, power quality, analyze demand, and generate billing and cost allocation reports.
Load Profiling
Load profiling is a method where electrical loads are monitored or profiled. Load profiling helps to identify peak demands
so that you can reschedule loads accordingly to reduce energy costs.
