2014: DIRIS Digiware sparks a revolution in electrical measurement

What is DIRIS Digiware?

A simple solution for building a modular measurement system.

The system comprises as a minimum a display unit, a voltage measurement module, multiple current measurement modules and current sensors.

More precisely, the DIRIS Digiware modular system is based on:

• A centralised display and a single voltage measuring point for the entire system: DIRIS Digiware offers an effective function-sharing capability.

• Current measurement modules that are interconnected via the Digiware bus (RJ45 cables) for measuring energy consumption at the closest point to the actual loads. Each module can monitor one or more circuits via the current sensors by means of independent current inputs (3, 4 or 6 depending on the modules). With 3 inputs, a current module can monitor a three-phase circuit or 3 single-phase circuits.

These four elements constitute the heart of the system. For applications without local display, the DIRIS Digiware C-31 system interface centralises all of the system''s data. The data from the Digiware modules and remote units is centralised on one or more DIRIS G communication gateways. Each gateway includes a WEBVIEW web server for monitoring electrical parameters in real time and for analysing energy consumption data.

An optional touch-screen tablet completes the system.

For remote monitoring points, the user can also use the DIRIS B-30 measurement units with wireless or RS485 communication.

The apparent simplicity of the concept is the result of SOCOMEC''s expertise in electrical measurement and communication technologies, as well a clear vision of what the measurement systems of tomorrow should be: accurate, flexible, multi-circuit, plug & play and cost-effective.
