The new Ethernet Metering Interface
Controller (EMIC) from Trend
Control Systems provides a costeffective
way of allowing readings
from multiple,multi-parameter
electricity meters to be automatically
channelled to a Trend building energy
management system (BEMS), where
they can be displayed, analysed and
then acted on to effect energy savings.

EMIC is compatible with 13
commonly installed multi-parameter
Modbus sub-meters from six
manufacturers – namely, Elcontrol,
Socomec, Northern Design, IME,
Carlo Gavazzi and Autometers
Systems. Three versions are available,
for applications involving up to 8, 16
and 32 networked meters. All are able
to log and communicate up to 25
parameters.
