Advantages and Features

• Comprehensive monitoring: ABB IPMON01 measures not only voltage and current but also frequency and power, allowing for a full assessment of the electrical network’s condition rather than just individual parameters.
• High accuracy: With an error margin of ±0.5%, it guarantees reliable data for critical systems, such as power plants where frequency stability is crucial for turbine operation.
• Fast response: A data update time of ≤100 ms and alarm signals enable quick activation of backup systems during power failures, minimizing downtime.
• Integration with AC500: Full compatibility with ABB controllers simplifies integration into existing automated systems without additional adapters.
• Flexible configuration: The ability to set individual thresholds for each parameter (e.g., minimum voltage of 190 V) makes ABB IPMON01 adaptable to the specific needs of any site.

Application Cases in Industries

• Energy sector: Monitoring electrical network parameters in substations, where ABB IPMON01 controls voltage and frequency, transmitting data to the controller to regulate power generation.
• Oil and gas industry: Monitoring the power supply of compressors and pumps, with the module issuing alarm signals during network overloads to prevent production halts.
• Metallurgy: Monitoring the electrical networks of smelting furnaces, where ABB IPMON01 detects voltage drops and signals the need to adjust loads to avoid equipment overheating.
• Logistics: Monitoring the power supply of conveyor systems and warehouse robots, with the module warning of potential failures to maintain cargo integrity.

Selection Recommendations

Precautions

• Install ABB IPMON01 in accordance with electrical network diagrams, ensuring proper grounding to prevent module damage during overloads.
• Calibrate the module using standard electrical measurement instruments before operation to ensure the error margin matches the stated parameters.
• Set alarm thresholds based on site specifics (e.g., 180 V minimum for logistics, 200 V minimum for metallurgy).
• Regularly check indicator statuses and connections, especially in vibrating environments, to promptly detect contact faults.
• Avoid installing the module near strong electromagnetic sources (e.g., transformers, motors) to prevent measurement distortion.
