Why It Matters

Facing these power distribution challenges?

Data centers have numerous distribution circuits and fast-changing loads. The traditional approach — “reading the main meter plus manual inspection” — is losing control over both energy efficiency and safety.

Coarse Energy Management

Only total consumption is known. Without separating IT, cooling and auxiliary loads, there is no basis for energy saving and PUE is just an estimate.

Delayed Risk Detection

With numerous incoming and outgoing circuits, manual inspection cannot catch overload, voltage anomalies or leakage in time — fault location is slow and downtime is costly.

Hard Integration

You already have an environment-monitoring / IoT platform. Adding metering often gets stuck on incompatible protocols and heavy retrofitting.

Overseas Deployment Barriers

Export projects demand certifications, localization and existing-system integration — product selection and acceptance can easily stall.

Solution Matching

Two core scenarios, matched to your needs

First, what power does your facility use — AC from utility / UPS, or a -48Vdc DC bus? Select a scenario below to see the standard configuration and product list.

Deployment Modes

Two deployment modes, tailored to your existing system

Whether it is a greenfield data center or an upgrade of an existing one, there is a path — no need to rip out what you already have.

MODE 01

Standalone Local Monitoring

No platform required — the touch screen handles data display and alarms locally. Ideal for small / medium data centers and downstream distribution panels.

ForSmall / medium facilities · on-site monitoring
  • ATP007kT / ATP010kT touch screen centralizes all circuit data
  • Local threshold settings with audible & visual alarms
  • Quick deployment, low cost, plug-and-play — no platform build-out
MODE 02

Third-party IoT / Environment Monitoring Integration

The first choice for overseas customers — upload metering data to your existing platform for remote, unified operations. Choose the path that fits what you already have.

Path AYou already have your own IoT gateway
  • Main meters AMC100-ZA / ZD feature 3 independent RS485 ports, direct MODBUS-RTU connection to your gateway
  • We provide full MODBUS register maps with complete technical support
Path BYou have a platform but no gateway
  • We supply the AWT200 IoT gateway: RS485 downlink pre-connected to all meters
  • Uplink via 4G / WiFi / Ethernet with MQTT / MODBUS-TCP to your platform
  • Supports store-and-forward, up to 10,000+ data points — short integration cycle, minimal changes

System Architecture

End-to-end system architecture

Four layers, one chain: meters collect data locally, data flows up via RS485 / gateway, converging on the local touch screen or your third-party platform.
