Veris Industries Releases Industry’s First Native BACnet MS/TP Power and Energy Meter

PORTLAND, OR – March 21, 2011 – Veris Industries, a leader in innovative power monitoring and environmental sensing solutions, announces the release of its E50H5 Power & Energy Meter.  The meter is an addition to the popular E50 family, and has been designed to meet the needs of the commercial building industry.  In addition to the standard rich feature set of the E50 series, the E50H5 communicates natively over BACnet MS/TP at a data rate

“The E50H5 was designed for the building automation market,” stated Gary Richmond, Veris’ Energy and Industrial Product Manager. “Energy conservation is a primary focus in most sectors, and the building market is no exception. The E50H5 integrates energy use and consumption data into the BAS system through the industry’s preferred BACnet protocol, making it easy to gain visibility of power use.”

Native BACnet MS/TP Communication

The E50H5 easily connects to a BACnet control system with its embedded BACnet MS/TP protocol. The ability to network the E50H5 over an already established MS/TP trunk eliminates the need for additional wiring and network drops, significantly decreasing installed costs. The integrated functionality of the meter furthers cost savings by allowing multiple devices to be daisy-chained over BACnet MS/TP.
