Ramtron announced that UK-based Energy Optimisers, a designer and manufacturer of ZigBee and Bluetooth smart energy saving devices, has designed Ramtron's FM25L512 512 Kb serial F-RAM memory device into its series of Plogg wireless energy management plugs. F-RAM's NoDelay writes, virtually unlimited endurance, and low power provide fast and frequent data logging and storage for this smart power meter that measures, monitors and controls energy consumption at the point of use - the appliance.
The Plogg monitors energy use of household, medical, office, etc, appliances in volts/amps/watts/kilowatts/kilowatt-hours and records the data in a buffer. Measuring up to 13 different variables, this wireless smart meter plug evaluates how energy is being used, and enables the user to reduce consumption and save money and the environment. The Plogg provides wireless data delivery to computers via Bluetooth or ZigBee technology and allows power consumption to be checked in realtime and controlled remotely.
