The digitization of energy in commercial and service-sector businesses no longer requires lengthy rollouts or complex infrastructure. Digital Link is designed for those who need immediate electrical monitoring, bringing together data for hassle-free energy analysis and re-billing.

Multi-site electrical monitoring from a single platform

For maintenance managers, the lack of real-time visibility is a critical challenge. Through the Scout platform, Digital Link enables you to centralize all your equipment, whether in a single building or across multiple locations.

• Global overview: Full control of all your devices from a single interface.
• Scalability: Add new equipment and locations without additional engineering effort.
• No extra infrastructure: 100% cloud-based, removing the need for local servers.

Reliable data and remote access for peace of mind

One of the main technical concerns is the loss of historical data due to network failures. Digital Link ensures reliable data for energy analysis through an automatic resend system: if the connection drops, the devices store and forward pending data once it is restored.

In addition, remote access to devices transforms maintenance:

• Check and configure parameters without site visits.
• Remote firmware updates: Keep the system up to date directly from Scout.
• Automatic alerts: Receive notifications before a critical equipment failure occurs.

Full integration via Scout API

For those looking to take energy digitization a step further, the energy data API enables full integration into proprietary applications or existing SCADA/BMS systems, ensuring the solution never becomes a technological “island”.

FAQs

1. What additional hardware do I need to connect my devices to Digital Link? If you use meters such as the CVM-D50 or the CVM-D400, no additional hardware is required, since they connect directly to the Scout platform as long as they have internet access. To digitize existing devices with RS-485 or Ethernet (Modbus) communication, the Line-EDS-Cloud gateway is used to integrate them into the cloud environment.
2. What happens to my data if the internet connection is lost? Data reliability is guaranteed; if communication is interrupted, devices automatically resend all pending data once the connection is restored. This ensures your historical data for energy analysis or re-billing remains complete and consistent at all times.
3. Can Digital Link data be integrated into my own applications? In addition to monitoring through the Scout platform, Digital Link provides data access via its API. This enables integration into your own analytics systems, custom applications, or industrial environments such as SCADA and BMS.
4. How does Digital Link help reduce maintenance costs? Digital Link enables remote access to check and configure devices without the need for physical site visits. The system also allows firmware to be updated directly from the platform, and it supports automatic alerts that notify you before a failure occurs, enabling more efficient and cost-effective management.
