ABB claims to offer a new level of efficiency and availability with its latest circuit monitoring system (CMS) CMS-700.

The ultra-compact and high-performance CMS from ABB is multichannel measurement system for branch monitoring.
It consists of a control unit and sensors with different measurement ranges and mounting possibilities. The range is specifically designed to meet the requirements for power monitoring and energy efficiency analysis in buildings and critical power applications.
Through a built-in web server, CMS-700 allows easy access for data collection and analysis. This can be used to optimise energy efficiency, analyse power consumption, and manage the system to always guarantee uninterrupted power supply and service to customers.
CMS sensors measure any kind of current - direct, alternating or mixed - in a wide measuring range of up to 160A. The new open-core sensor generation allows retrofitting of existing installation.
Main Benefits
- Minimise downtime in the system – Maximise running hours and productivity, avoid downtimes and connected penalties by monitoring of power availability through early detection of any deviations in power consumption at branch level
- Assets preservation - Early detection of any deviations in power consumption at branch level, avoid before serious damage occurs in the system
- Energy efficiency - Consumption optimisation and cost saving can be performed in the system thanks to maximum transparency on where and how the electricity is used up to lower branches
- Maximum security - Thanks to the most secure communication protocols built-in in the CMS central units
- Easy Installation and configuration - Save up to 30% installation time thanks to smart configuration and quick installation guaranteed
- Easy selections - Optimisation of the portfolio and product selection thanks to sensor able to measure AC, DC or mixed currents
Main Features
- Individual circuit monitoring with energy and power monitoring at branch levels
- Minimal space requirements - Due to the compact sizes of the sensors there is no additional space needed in the enclosure
- User-friendly commissioning – Within a few minutes, a branch monitoring system is installed and commissioned without rearranging the existing installation or interrupting the power. Open core sensors allows retrofitting in existing installations
- Scalable - which means that the user can freely choose the number of measurement points he needs
- Easy installation - All components get linked over one flat cable which saves installation time and leads to an excellent overview in the distribution unit
- Flexible - Could be used in all kinds of applications up to 160 A AC/DC per each branch
- Product always updated to latest version thanks to upgradable firmware in CMS700
