The components utilized to monitor energy are unique to each situation and may require a site evaluation. Rhino can pull data directly from many of the most common smart meters. For older meters, submetering, and other specialized equipment, Rhino provides devices that read, translate, and upload data to the Rhino cloud platform.
Rhino Access Points
Rhino access points are the gateways that maintain remote communication between the Rhino cloud application and the meters, sensors, and control modules, as well as the computers, BMS, and EMS controllers installed in the facilities.
Rhino extension modules communicate with meters distributed throughout the facility. They record utility consumption via pulse or frequency input. They have built-in memory in case of network downtime.
The Rhino WMBus is a gateway that receives RF data from any number of WMBus meters in the RF range and passes them through the RS232 serial port. Data transfer is wired to the Rhino access point.
The Rhino monitoring plan is very simple. The fee is based on the number of metering points you monitor. You can pay monthly, annually, or multi-year. There are no contracts required.
The Rhino energy monitoring solution is a separate platform from Swift Sensors monitoring solutions. The platforms are not natively integrated. Each platform comprises a distinct set of hardware and cloud software, and a monitoring plan.
