Systems Integration

 

eSight Essential has been designed to offer a wide range of options for collecting and importing energy data from a variety of systems.  Data can be imported from your existing metering and logging data collections systems, BMS / BAS and SCADA systems, electronic supplier data along with your historical data.

This data can be standard utility data such as electricity, gas and water, but eSight Essential also allows as standard data for any fuel type or unit of measurement at any frequency that is required.  In addition to this, production data can also be imported for easy comparison to your energy usage.

All this data can be imported automatically from specified file locations on your server or network, or can be uploaded directly into eSight Essential via the web User Interface. 

In addition to this, eSight Essential can communicate directly with devices running the Niagara Framework via an oBIX interface, automatically discovering the available data points and importing data directly at a scheduled interval from every 5 minutes.

Data import options for eSight Essential are:

File Imports

Text based export files from your existing metering and logging data collections systems, energy suppliers and BMS / BAS / SCADA systems, such as Trend Supervisor, EnergyICT and IMServ systems can be automatically imported into eSight from user definable locations on your server or local network.  In addition to this, files can be directly uploaded into eSight Essential via the user interface.

oBIX

eSight Essential can communicate directly with devices running the NiagaraAX Framework, such as Tridium JACE, CentraLine HAWK, or Lynxspring JENEsys, via an oBIX interface. eSight Essential will automatically discover the available data points and import data directly into the specified meter point at a user defined interval from every 5 minutes to once a day.   

Web Services

Existing systems can utilise the Data Import web services standard on all versions of eSight Essential to import data directly, bypassing the need for files to be created and archived.
