Pulse™ EMS Overview

• Pulse™ Connector – Data logger

• Communication Protocols – Modbus & BACnet/IP

• Electrical Energy, Natural Gas, Steam and Water Meters

Building + Pulse™ Connector

Connecting to Panel Energy Meters

Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP/IP

• The Pulse™ Connector can integrate with any Modbus

enabled meter.

• All parameters collected in the meter can be transferred to

the Pulse™ EMS.

• How do I know if my meter is Modbus capable?

Connecting to Socket Energy Meters

kWh / count

• The Pulse™ Connector can integrate with socket meters that

have a KYZ dry contact module.

• The generated pulse train is proportional to the energy

consumption measured.

• How can I tell if my socket meter has a dry contact module?

Connecting to DDC/BAS Systems

• The Pulse™ Connector can connect to any DDC/BAS that is

BACnet/IP compatible.

• The Pulse™ Connector simply registers as a foreign BACnet

device and logs the appropriate energy variables.

• Is my DDC/BAS BACnet/IP compatible?

BACnet /IP

Connecting to Data Servers

• CSV, HTML, HTTP file transfers.

• Push or Pull data structures.

• Custom Solutions.

• Pulse Energy API.

• Can Pulse™ connect to my centralized data centre?

File Transfers

What is the Pulse™ Connector compatible with?

DDC/BAS Energy Meters Database

• Any meter or system that is Modbus or BACnet compatible.

• Any meter or system that can produce a KYZ pulse.

• Any data source that can transfer data through the internet.

• What if I don’t have any metering at my building?
