Control & Monitoring

Control and monitoring work turns a distribution system into something you can actually see. Meter hierarchies, alarm points and operator interfaces are designed around the decisions the site needs to make.

Commissioning records, point lists and operator notes are handed over so the system stays useful after the installers leave.

What We Cover

  • Energy meter hierarchy across incomers, generator, UPS and solar
  • Modbus, BMS and SCADA integration including legacy equipment
  • PLC control, interlock and automation logic
  • Alarm rationalisation and trend configuration

What You Receive

  • Point list, register map and network topology
  • Commissioning record with verified alarms and trends
  • Operator interface screens and usage notes
  • Recommendations for future expansion of monitoring

Information To Get Started

Existing meter, PLC and BMS makes and models
What must be measured, alarmed or controlled and by whom
Network availability and cyber or IT constraints on site
Reporting expectations — tenant billing, energy, uptime
Energy costs cannot be attributed to areas or processes
Alarms are missed because indication is local only

Turn equipment signals into useful operating decisions.

Information to send

  • Process sequence
  • I/O list and existing PLC/HMI
  • Communication protocols and alarm priorities

Scope to agree

  • Control narrative
  • I/O and alarm schedule
  • Commissioning acceptance criteria

What changes the selection?

Equipment duty, installation conditions, available fault current, control interfaces and expansion plans all affect the specification. Agree the required drawings, tests and handover records before placing an order.

Request a scope review ↗

Open the relays, monitoring & protection hub and calculators ↗

Specify the whole working system.

Start with the equipment duty. Add the control, protection and measurement functions that your project needs; these are options to review, not a pre-approved assembly.
