September 5, 2001—Excel Energy Technologies has developed an application that provides remote access to energy data. The application supports the ExcelSyus “Listener” to enable monitoring of temperatures, lighting use and energy consumption within facilities using wirelessly enabled Palm VII series handhelds, based on the Palm OS® platform.
The “Listener” is a wireless low-rate data logging system that connects to any Internet-active PC, telephony modem or to the ExcelSyus “M”. The “Listener” receives and logs data and status information from up to 90 temperature sensors, light sensors, pulse totalizers, repeaters, and any other future devices. The “Listener” communicates via a TIA/EIA-232 port or through a TIA/EIA-485 port.
Collected data is time-stamped and logged when received. This logged information is then sent via Internet or modem to Excel web servers. Data is available to customers over the Internet and is password protected. For more information, contact Excel.
