ABB Ability Energy & Asset Manager

A new approach to energy and asset management - ABB Ability™ Energy and Asset Manager software

The ABB Ability Energy & Asset Manager is a cloud-based platform that enables you to monitor and manage your facility’s electrical distribution from anywhere to optimize energy use and costs. Flexible, scalable, and easy to implement for single and multi-site applications, the ABB Ability Energy & Asset Manager simplifies building management. It also offers predictive maintenance capabilities that reduce downtime and maintenance while reducing operational costs.

ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager sets a new benchmark for usability thanks to its plug-and-play architecture. It does not require engineering or special support for commissioning and features an intuitive graphical interface that guides the user through a wide range of tasks, presenting all the relevant information derived from thousands of parameters collected from the field.

For facility owners, the ABB Ability Energy & Asset Manager can add significantly to the bottom line and the facility’s market value. For consultants, panel builders and others who incorporate it into their projects, it offers a unique competitive advantage.

How it works

ABB Ability Energy and Asset Manager connects to the cloud using low-voltage distribution panels with circuit breakers, relays, metering devices, transfer switches and other equipment. Depending on the requirements of the application, the devices can be connected via Modbus RTU or TCP, sending data to the cloud via one of two ways:

Embedded solution with Ekip Com Hub

A SACE®Emax 2 breaker, Ekip UP monitoring and control device, or TruONE™ ATS equipped with the new Ekip Com Hub establishes the cloud connection for the whole switchboard.
This dedicated cartridge-type communication module just needs to be inserted into the terminal box and connected to the internet.

External solution with ABB Ability™ Edge Industrial gateway

The ABB Ability™ Edge Industrial gateway module can be mounted on DIN rail to collect data throughout the system.
Connect sensors to measure environmental parameters (temperature, water, gas) via both analog and digital I/O.
ABB Ability™ Edge Industrial gateway has enhanced connectivity functionalities, providing Wi-Fi or 3G/4G connectivity
