ELECTRICAL SWITCHGEAR goes digital with Enerlin’X
Schneider Electric has launched Enerlin’X, the communication system for Smart Panel. By connecting together the components of the building infrastructure, energy experts and asset managers can enjoy real time visibility and control of a building’s power distribution systems to maximise energy efficiency
Left: with Enerlin’X energy experts and asset managers can enjoy real time visibility and control of a building’s power distribution systems
system resulting in real time savings. Furthermore, it enables energy managers to run energy efficiency analysis to ensure that their buildings - whether a hospital or an office building - are being smart in terms of energy usage.
THREE STEPS TO EFFICIENCY HEAVEN Through three easy steps, asset managers are able to: 1. Measure - Grouping most of the
electrical protection command and metering components on the Enerlin’X systems, switchboards can become significant sources of data - displayed locally and/or remotely via the communication networks. 2. Connect - Using Enerlin’X, energy experts can provide insightful advice based on real time data of the building, providing visual information on energy inefficiencies. This can be collated from across the building or broken down into specific departments. 3. Save - Critical functions are able to

mart Panel links together the electrical protection, command and
metering components via a building’s communication network. This information is then safely transmitted across Ethernet and Wi-Fi to Schneider Electric’s StruxureWare cloud services. By connecting all the building’s energy data facilities, energy and asset managers can gain greater insight into significant sources of Information - displayed locally on PC, notebook or tablet. “With the cost of energy rising and becoming a barrier to growth for many businesses, it has never been so important for energy managers to know what’s going on within their building regarding power usage. The Enerlin’X
platform does just that,” said Gary Buckingham, marketing manager from Schneider Electric. “Buildings consume 40% of the UK’s energy, but it is only with visibility into the energy of everything within a property that we can build a smarter, more efficient future. However, to do that, you need to measure what you can’t see. It is through innovations such as the Enerlin’X digital system that energy and asset managers are able to make smart energy choices to drive efficiencies via intuitive Smart Panels.” Providing financial efficiency for asset
managers through tested, validated and documented architectures, Enerlin’X is a reliable and efficient electrical distribution
use real time monitoring and control services on touch screen displays or through a traditional computer or smart device with a web browser. This allows for a clear, simple overview of the energy usage and alarms with a building. By collecting the status, electrical and
measurement values of circuit breakers and meters, Enerlin’X provides a simple and reliable link to local displays and web portals across the entire building infrastructure. This provides energy experts and asset managers with complete, real time access to building data to manage resource usage, regardless of their location.
