Project background and needs
An energy management solution provider integrates reTerminal and reTerminal DM into a clean energy system as safety controllers, displaying status, transmitting events, and supporting response during emergencies.
Status Display and Adaptability
- The system needed to display status and report events in real time.
- The customer wanted to keep an open-source platform to reduce migration effort and adapt to different energy systems.
The solution needed both a display and software extensibility.
Secure Data Communication
- Safety data and event reports needed to be uploaded to the cloud platform.
- Network connectivity, data transmission, and cloud storage were integration requirements.
Reliable communication between the device and the platform was needed.
Solution and architecture
Onsite Control
reTerminal and reTerminal DM act as safety controllers, collecting component operating data and triggering an emergency response when safety limits are exceeded.
Reporting and Protection
The controllers report information to the cloud, activate protective mechanisms according to safety protocols, and initiate an emergency shutdown when necessary.
