Man in the Middle

“Plug&Play” solution

The spot control on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system components.

Architecture

The Man in the Middle solution is ideal when you can’t or don’t want to modify the existing control system or for a Proof Of Concept (POC) pilot project.

What can Enerbrain do for me?

1. INSTALLATION COORDINATION

The (eSense) sensors are positioned in the environment to monitor the T, RH, CO2 and the controllers (eNode – ePLC) are chosen for the type of system, then installed. A custom solution to meet your own personal requirements Enerbrain can install eMeters for the utility to be monitored.

2. CLOUD ACTIVATION

There the data received from the Enerbrain devices can be displayed using the Web App.

3. OBTAINING RESULTS

The implementation maintains comfort with the maximum efficiency.

Implementation

The Man In the Middle solution interfaces directly with the components of the system in the field.

How does Enerbrain interact with the system?
There are two options:

Option 1: Local integration with eNode

eNode + eSense + Cloud

eNode is an IoT controller used to control the components of an existing heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system (valve, damper, fan, etc.).

eSense is an ambient sensor that monitors T, RH, CO2.

The Cloud sends commands to the system components using the following input: the desired settings for the building, a series of external variables and the conditions monitored by eSense in real time.

eNode

Remote controller for actuators

eSense

A wireless sensor for measuring temperature, relative humidity and CO2

Option 2: Local integration with ePLC

ePLC + eSense + Cloud

ePLC is an IoT controller that interacts directly with the machine controllers (the PLC onboard the machine).

eSense is an ambient sensor that monitors T, RH, CO2.

The Cloud sends commands to the system components using the following input: the desired settings for the building, a series of external variables and the conditions monitored by eSense in real time.

eSense

A wireless sensor for measuring temperature, relative humidity and CO2
