DATALOG with accessories and modules
The DATA LOG system with accessories and modules collects and records energy measurements from DIRIS power plants,…
DATA LOG with accessories and modules is a data acquisition and logging system in Socomec's DATALOG H range. It centralises measurements from DIRIS measurement units, COUNTIS energy meters and ISOM Digiware insulation modules. The device runs on a DIN-rail supply voltage and communicates via Modbus RS485 and Modbus TCP protocols for integration into existing supervision architectures.
DATA LOG system architecture and expansion modules
Centralised acquisition of energy data
Our installation experience confirms that the Socomec DATA LOG H acts as a single collection point for all the measurement equipment of an electrical installation. It retrieves voltage, current, power and energy-consumption parameters in real time. This centralisation eliminates storage redundancy and guarantees the consistency of historical data for energy-performance tracking.
Input/output modules and system scalability
Input/output expansion modules associated with the DATA LOG allow acquisition capacity to be adapted to each site's specific needs. In the field, we find that this modularity makes installation upgrades easier without replacing the central unit. The DIN-rail polyamide housing provides standardised fixing in electrical panels and resistance to industrial conditions.
Software suite and use of energy data
Visualisation and analysis for detecting drift
The supervision software suite supplied with the DATA LOG turns raw data into usable operational indicators. Feedback from installers confirms that customisable dashboards allow consumption deviations from established references to be identified quickly. This feature is a decisive lever for predictive maintenance and optimising electricity supply contracts.
Structured export for energy-performance audits
Formatting data for export makes regulatory processes and environmental certifications easier. We recommend setting logging periods according to analysis objectives: short time steps for studying transient phenomena, wider windows for the annual consumption report. Modbus TCP compatibility also opens up integration with third-party energy-management platforms.
Typical applications and implementation of the DATA LOG
Energy monitoring for industrial and tertiary sites
Our installation feedback shows that DATA LOG with accessories and modules delivers its full effect in multi-source environments where several DIRIS units and COUNTIS meters coexist. Continuous logging allows consumption peaks to be correlated with production cycles or the occupancy hours of tertiary buildings. This time correlation forms the basis of any action plan to reduce the energy bill.
Performance audits and regulatory compliance
The ISOM Digiware modules associated with the DATA LOG add an extra dimension by monitoring the insulation of IT networks. Our standard practice favours this combination in hospital installations and data centres, where continuity of service determines the safety of people and data. Together they form a complete measurement, alert and archiving system compliant with the requirements of energy-performance audits.
Frequently asked questions
Which Socomec equipment can be connected to the DATA LOG?
The DATA LOG H natively collects data from DIRIS measurement units, COUNTIS energy meters and ISOM Digiware insulation modules. The connection is made via the communication buses built into these devices, generally Modbus RS485.
What is the difference between the DATA LOG and a simple data logger?
The DATA LOG stands out through its systemic pairing with a dedicated supervision software suite and its input/output expansion modules. This architecture allows not only archiving but also real-time visualisation, structured export and integration into higher-level energy management systems.
Can the DATA LOG be integrated into a building already fitted with a third-party supervisor?
Yes, dual Modbus RS485 and Modbus TCP compatibility allows the DATA LOG to communicate with most existing supervision systems. Our commissioning tests show that configuring register addresses and communication frames is generally enough to establish this interoperability without adding a gateway.
What type of housing and mounting does the DATA LOG use?
The device has a polyamide housing designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail. This choice of material and format ensures fast installation in industrial electrical panels and resistance to common thermal and mechanical stresses.
