Introduction
Energy issues are becoming more important as our natural energy resources gradually deplete. Many enterprises, manufacturers, stores, and even governments are trying their best to optimize energy management to reduce costs. Advantech’s PAC solution combines powerful integration capabilities with robust hardware to provide solutions for any energy management system. This solution is suitable to save operation costs for chain stores and enterprises of all kinds.
System Requirements
Chain stores with efficient energy management systems have proven there can be a significant amount of annual savings in operating costs. The key to implementing these systems is implementing powerful controllers, robust communications and open architectures. HVAC, gas meters, water meters, lighting control, and video security are integrated. The openness of PC technology has driven system integrators to adopt management systems with open platforms. This means that they can flexibly choose or build their own energy saving software under popular Microsoft platforms, as long as the hardware provided is capable of delivering data between hundreds of chain stores and the central monitoring station.

System Description
This energy management system can be easily achieved through Advantech’s APAX-5000 series. APAX-5000 delivers a new architecture, providing two individual controllers for different tasks. APAX-5520KW, running KW IEC-61131-3 I/O SoftLogic, performs many data acquisition and control functions, acting as a centralized measuring and control system. Contributed by the APAX-5000’s flexible topology, many different kinds of I/O modules can be installed in different locations to read data from sensors and equipment, and controlled by the APAX-5520KW remotely (including utility temperatures, humidity, sunlight and more). Data from power consumption devices can also be read. All necessary data can be transferred to APAX-6571XPE, which performs energy optimization based on the Advantech’s WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, as well as communicates with the control center and IP camera for video surveillance. APAX-5000 series’ architecture separates I/O process control from HMI/SCADA, making the system more reliable, and ensuring I/O processes won’t be affected by HMI/SCADA software tasks.

Conclusion
Advantech’s APAX-5000 series offers a unified and open platform to satisfy demands for applications of this type. It decreases system integration difficulty, allowing engineers to easily integrate communication, HMI/SCADA, database and control in a short amount of time through a standard development environment. Another important feature is the hot swap functionality, allowing I/O modules to be replaced while the system is running. It helps saving system maintenance costs and increasing system reliability.
