inGenious View offers complete flexibility for users to customize components beyond the pre-set views. You can set specific indicators, reports, and alarms yourself, with our consultation available during the initial installation of inGenious View. The user interface allows for easy editing and addition of new components. This includes selecting data points, defining thresholds, and setting measurement criteria. Additionally, the interface makes it simple to configure the display location on the dashboard, the alert method, the frequency of automatic reporting, and more.
When transferring data over public internet connections, inGenious View ensures a high level of security using VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology. This technology employs robust encryption and authentication methods, such as SSL/TLS and IPSec ESP, to protect against various types of attacks. The ability to establish multiple VPN connections (tunnels) allows for secure communication between different endpoints, with each connection protected by secure certificates. This approach ensures that data remains safe and protected even when transmitted to remote locations or mobile devices.
inGenious View enables connections with various meters, electric meters, and devices through a wide range of analog signals and communication protocols. Physical quantity meters are integrated into the system using analog signals such as 4-20 mA or 0-10V, and protocols like Modbus, Profibus, and CAN. Smart electric meters connect via communication channels such as DLMS/COSEM, Modbus, M-Bus, and LoRa, with options for wired (Ethernet, DSL, fiber) or wireless (WiFi, 4G, LoRa) connections. inGenious View also supports IEC 60870-5-101 and 104, and the IEC 61850 Client gateway to the IEC 60870-5-104 Slave protocol.
Additionally, for specific cases, we can develop custom communication plugins to connect with older meters that operate using pulse signals.
inGenious View is designed for easy integration with various IT systems, enabling data exchange through API/RESTful technology and other web services. Support for bidirectional connections via MQTT brokers further extends integration possibilities, allowing systems to communicate and operate synchronously. This open approach ensures that inGenious View can function as a central energy monitoring system, seamlessly connecting with existing business, production, and energy systems to enhance efficiency, interoperability, and maintenance.
inGenious View is a comprehensive energy monitoring system, but it does not control or manage devices. All functionalities of inGenious View are included in inGenious Peak for peak shaving and inGenious Flex for active demand response in industrial settings, both of which provide various levels of device control in addition to monitoring. Users can decide to upgrade to inGenious Peak or Flex at any time, and a pre-upgrade analysis of potential flexibility and impact is always conducted. Utilizing the data captured by the existing inGenious View makes this analysis faster and more accurate before upgrading to inGenious Peak or Flex.
The upgradability of the inGenious View system is designed to preserve and integrate existing settings and configurations. Its modular design allows for the addition of new functionalities without losing current data or requiring reconfiguration. During upgrades, special attention is given to maintaining the user experience and workflow to ensure a smooth transition without disrupting primary operations. All products in the INEA inGenious family are fully modular, making software upgrades straightforward and minimizing the need for additional physical installations.
