Amid rising costs and increased regulation, digitization is transforming the way buildings operate today and that’s
presenting new challenges to Facility managers who are being challenged to reduce operating costs and meet
environmental regulations while still maintaining high building performance with limited workforce.

EcoStruxureTM Power solution enables buildings to be:

Efficient by gaining control on building operating costs.
In commercial buildings, 75 % of building costs is spent during the operation phase but unlike very large facilities,
most mid-sized facilities don’t have the tools in place to act on these costs, to track energy consumptions and
maintenance activities because the tools are too complex or too expensive.
With EcoStruxureTM Power, they are now accessible thanks to IoT technology. Taking this kind of solutions into
account at the design stage is a real opportunity to reduce the operating costs:
b Energy costs by - 5 % *Navigant Research publication.
b Maintenance costs by - 8 % **The Service Council publication.

Reliable
EcoStruxureTM Power helps operations teams improve the business continuity by + 10 %, it allows them to:
b Reduce business interruption losses and time to repair.
b Avoid disruption of business by preventing electrical distribution problems of Electrical Distribution.
b Increase Electrical Asset & System Reliability and Lifetime.
How much will a downtime cost and what are the key applications (HVAC system, refrigeration, cash registers, …)
to run the business? Answering these questions will help to select the appropriate solutions for each application
and thus maximize the uptime.

Safe
EcoStruxureTM Power helps operations teams protect people and assets, it allows them to:
b Ensure electrical protection system is always ready to operate.
b Ensure regulatory maintenance is always done on time. The list of statutory maintenance requirements
(required by law) is country dependent but it can be huge and needs to be documented.

This chapter lists the applications that help improve the energy and operations efficiency, the business continuity
and safe operations of facilities. They can be selected according to the customer needs.

2.1. Energy monitoring and reporting

The Energy Management System collects the data from the meters (electric, water, gas) installed on the property
and provides in dashboards to analyze the energy consumptions and the ability to set targets to reduce their cost.

b Submetering enables to understand how the energy is used in the building and it is recommended to monitor
80 % of the energy usage of a building.
b Monitor Power demand and Power Factor with alerts as they have an impact on the energy bill.
b Track the energy consumptions against a target.
b Monthly reports helps to show progress of energy actions for the business owner.

NOTICE
METERS VIEW
The full-screen meter view displays a maximum of 20 meters' data. Export functionality is limited to visualized meters only.

2.2. Energy cost allocation

This application enable a building owner to allocate the energy cost:
b per tenant in building with several tenants
b per production line in an industrial building
b per cost center in general.
Usually active, reactive energy consumptions and power demand shall be collected at main meter level and at sub
meter level for each tenant area or group.

2.3. Multi-sites energy consumptions comparison
When managing a sites portfolio, it is essential to track the aggregated consumption of the sites and to compare
sites against each other to focus first on poor performers. Being able to compare also per energy use helps to
determine which HVAC system or lighting system is the most energy efficient.

NOTICE
MULTI-SITE COMPARISON WIDGET
The best way to use the benchmarking feature is to create groups of sites.
There is no limitation on the number of sites associated with a customer, however the "All sites" comparison
widget displays a maximum of 50 sites.

NOTICE
Even if the sites are on the same network, it is highly recommended to connect at least one Com'X per site to
get a clear energy consumption view.

2.4. Sustainability Performance

Standard or labels have been defined to help building managers benchmark their sites according to local energy
performance rating. In some countries, it is mandatory to display the rating at the building entrance.

EPBD Energy performance graph

To show green image to visitors and involve occupants of the building, a screen at building entrance can display
information about the energy action results and transform kWh into meaningful CO2 equivalents such as number
of flights or saved trees.

2.5. Asset Lifecycle Management
Cloud based document repository provides convenient reference material at all times, helping everyone to easily
collaborate, share and find the information they need.
It enables technicians access relevant and up to date documents such as manuals, instruction sheet or diagrams
from wherever they are and can speed up operations with a simple QR Code placed on equipment.

Video support

2.6. Maintenance intervention history and reporting

Logging of maintenance activities is important to ensure traceability in case of inspection or audit but it is usually long
and painful as technicians have to write out information on all tasks performed or parts used at the end of the day.
Cloud-based solution with new tools simplify the facility maintenance.
Once the maintenance job is done, technicians can now use their smartphone to enter maintenance logs with
pictures, audio record and automatic generation of reports reducing thus the number of administrative tasks.

Video support

This traceability benefits also to any technician who has to deal with an issue as he can access interventions
history and search for root causes and its resolution for similar equipment. Knowing that more than 50 % of
breakdowns have already occured and the fix is known, it will reduce the analysis time and thus the time to repair.

2.7. Alerts on mobility

Connecting buildings and equipment to operations team via smartphone or tablet enable to manage facilities more
effectively. They will get alerts from connected assets in case of issue, be notified in mobility, access to alarm detail
to analyze it and decide whether to go on site or postpone intervention to next maintenance visit.

Video support

2.8. Maintenance tasks management
According to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the failure
rate of electrical components is three times higher for systems where preventive
maintenance is not performed. This tells us that electrical problems, for the most
part, can be avoided.
Cleaning dirt from inside electrical panels and tightening electrical connection on
frequent basis can reduce the chances of fires, electric shock and arc flash incidents.
To be sure to not miss a maintenance on any sensitive equipment to run the
business activity, maintenance management tool can help with maintenance
planning, organizing work of the technicians, storing schedules for required Video support
maintenance and issuing reminders on upcoming maintenance. QR code placed on
equipment makes loading the predefined maintenance plans a snap.

2.9. Power monitoring

Monitoring electrical distribution variables (voltages, currents, harmonics…) enables
to detect issues such as voltages fluctuations that can disturb or damage sensitive
loads or that can lead to nuisance tripping.
Alarms can be set and notifications sent out if the power systems functions outside of
its normal parameters.

3.3. Network architecture guideline
3.3.1. Data publication via the Ethernet
An Ethernet cable connects one of the Com’X Ethernet ports to a switch on the customer’s LAN. The customer’s
Ethernet network and internet connection are then used to transfer data to the data analysis system’s server.
This solution is the simplest to set up, the most secure and the cheapest to put in place.
In case of the customer refuses to provide internet access, 2 solutions can be envisioned:
b A dedicated internet access with an Internet box.
b Internet access through cellular network with a 3G or 4G router connected to the Com'X.

3.3.2. Data collection

Using an ethernet network to collect data
Setting up and using an ethernet network is technically more complicated. However, the advantage of this type of
network is that it can be used by several applications simultaneously. This means that if the customer already has
such a network in place, it can be used without having to install new communication cables. In this case, Modbus-
TCP <-> Modbus serial (EGX100) gateways will need to be added.
This solution is ideal for collecting data from devices that are dispersed around the building.
A Com’X 200 can communicate via the IP network with a maximum of 20 Modbus-TCP <-> Modbus serial
gateways.
One should not connect more than 100 Modbus slaves to the various serial ports (this includes slaves of the
Com’X 200’s serial port and slaves of the serial ports of the different Modbus-TCP <-> Modbus serial gateways).
Nota: these two methods (Modbus serial and Modbus–TCP) can be used in parallel at a site.

Using a Modbus serial network to collect data

This solution is well suited to collecting data from devices grouped together in close proximity to the Com’X.
One should not connect more than 20 Modbus slaves to a serial network (so as not to negatively impact the
response times achieved via this network). Any additional meters should be connected to Ethernet/Modbus
gateway, which in turn should be connected to one of the Com’X 200’s Ethernet ports.

4.2. EMC
The EMC levels of the Enerlin’X devices range are compliant with Building IT minimum levels, considered
necessary for a good robustness on site, with level harmonization for products used in solutions. These levels do
not supersede the applicable device standards; the higher level shall be applied.
b Immunity to Electrostatic discharges IEC61000-4-2.
b Immunity to Radiated electromagnetic field IEC61000-4-3.
b Immunity to Electric Fast transients IEC61000-4-4.
b Immunity to Lightning surge IEC61000-4-5.
b Immunity to conducted disturbances, induced by radio-frequency fields IEC61000-4-6.
b Immunity to Voltage dips & interruption IEC61000-4-11.
b Immunity to conducted, common mode disturbances in the frequency range 0 Hz to 150kHz IEC61000-4-16.
b Conducted and radiated emissions.
Each individual Enerlin’X devices are compliant or even above the international standard regarding immunity for
residential, commercial and light industry environments (site directly connected to a low voltage public mains
network or connected to a dedicated DC source).
The target is to reach the immunity level of severe industrial environments and the emission level of residential,
commercial and light industry environments (Class B).
Therefore tests are carried out at Smart Panel level inside Prisma enclosure in real environment (Loaded cubicle).
Smart Panel offer in Prisma enclosure is fully compliant with international standard regarding emission levels for
residential, commercial and light industry environments and immunity for severe industrial environments.
To reach the level corresponding to the most severe situation in industrial environments (Immunity) installation
rules should be put in place. Schneider Electric recommendation (assembly and cabling) are given.

4.3. Cyber security

Device connectivity is becoming more prevalent in as buildings increasingly rely on off-site personnel to
troubleshoot and fix detected problems. Connecting the Masterpact MTZ and Enerlin’X devices to an internet
router gives the possibility to send notifications. However, connecting your devices to internet services will create
threats for security. You are encouraged to read a complementary Schneider Electric System Technical Note,
How can I Reduce Vulnerability to Cyber Attacks?
The document is available in the Schneider Electric global website from the download section.
For example, the Masterpact MTZ, IFE and IO Module come with a firmware signature to assure that the firmware
is coming from Schneider Electric. In addition, the Masterpact MTZ system can be hardened for security with
communication network separation, implementing a regular check of firmware for security updates and strong
password management. These features provide a higher level of security for an electrical switchboard. For the
Masterpact MTZ, you are encouraged to read a complementary guide, Masterpact MTZ - Cybersecurity Guide
(DOCA0122EN).
Schneider Electric recommends a defense-in-depth approach to cyber security. No single approach is adequate.
The defense-in-depth approach layers the network with security features, appliances, and processes. When
connecting devices to networks, you should configure a network structure with one or more firewall devices
(software firewalls are not recommended). The following architectures are presented to demonstrate how to
increase the level of security.

Recommended communication Architecture with Com’X

Com’X allows separating the Ethernet communication network of the electrical assets from the Building’s IT
network. Network separation provides a secure way to connect Smart Panels to the Facility Manager office
through the building’s communication network infrastructure.
The Facility Manager can access an energy dashboard and electrical asset information on-site or remotely when
connected to the Internet. Com’X provides a security barrier to manage the Smart Panels’ remote connection and
maintain the capability to send electrical alarms notifications to a Facility Manager or electrical maintenance team.
When the network is separated via Com’X, direct access to Enerlin’X device webpages is not permitted unless a
direct physical connection is made with the electrical switchboards. Com’X adds a layer of cyber security
hardening while securing access to your electrical data.

Schneider Electric Cloud Platform

The use of security certificates on Schneider Electric servers ensures that any data communicated is kept
confidential and secure (this information will be sent to the selected server).

Schneider Electric servers are located in a highly secure and failproof environment. Access to these servers is
controlled via a security policy.

Data are transmitted over Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) which encrypts data during transmission
to improve the security of exchanges.

Rules and recommendations

Communication
The RJ45 ULP termination is mandatory on each empty ULP RJ45.
The end of line Modbus termination is mandatory.
SFTP Cat6 or Cat5 Ethernet RJ45 cables are mandatory for communication signals.
No Modbus devices, such as a Smartlink Serial Line with Common 0V potential, should be connected to IFM.
It's recommended not to exceed 8 Modbus slaves for one Modbus master. This will ensure a better response time
(Enerlin’X IFE+ or Smartlink Ethernet).
To optimize the communication system, stack IFMs on IFE (better performance and behavior with EMC aspect).

SUMMARY
41
Appendix

Auxiliary power supplies

The voltage range on the Enerlin'X device should be 24Vdc +/-10%
The OverVoltage Category (OVC) of the mains input on the 24V supply should be
compatible with the location at which it is connected on the mains installation
network.
ULP modules have current integrated protection equal to 3A with Icc = 20A. The
24Vdc external power supply should be able to protect the ULP module with Icc
limitation equal to 20A maximum.
It is recommended to use Star topology to limit EMC disturbances.
The connection between the power supply and terminal block (+/-) should be as
short as possible. In case of daisy chaining, connect the last apparatus to the power
supply with an additional cable.
All IFE & IO modules should have a direct connection with the power supply and
cannot be supplied through ULP.
If several stacked IFMs are not stacked with an IFE, only one of the IFMs should
have a direct connection with the power supply.
BSCM + µlogic NSX or BCM Masterpact are directly supplied through one of the two
RJ45 ULP ports of IFE/IFM or IO modules.
No more than 2 x IO modules can be used on an ULP bus.
Masterpact Micrologic should be supplied by a dedicated AD power supply (see the
bill of materials for more details).

If no IFMs are used, 0V should be connected to a protective ground terminal block at

power supply level. No other devices should have 0V connected to ground.

The 0V on IFMs is only connected to a protective ground terminal block at one point
(first stacked IFM) on the Modbus line. No other devices should have 0V connected
to ground.

SUMMARY
42
 Appendix

The number of power supply segments is limited to 3 with a maximum rating of 5A.
0V, D0 and D1 are distributed along the Modbus lines. For further information please
refer to the ULP guide.
In case of a floating power supply and without IFM installed, the number of NSX
Micrologics is limited by earth leakage currents as follows:
Example: if Compact NSX Micrologics are used on 690VAC, then the maximum
number allowed on the complete system will be: 500 µA/54 = 9 (500 µA is the

Ethernet communication architectures

Star topology Series topology

Star topology is a communication architecture in which each device Series topology is a communication architecture in which all the
is connected individually to a central node, generally a switch. devices are connected to each other successively. Each node is
connected to the preceding and subsequent nodes, except the first
and last nodes.

Advantages Advantages
Star topology is more robust: b This topology is more economical: the amount of wiring required
for this installation is optimized.
b It helps reduce damage caused by the malfunction of a device (if
b It is easy to add devices to this topology.
one device is defective, communication is still possible with the
other devices).
b It is possible to add or remove as many devices as desired
without disrupting the network.

Disadvantages Disadvantages
b This topology requires a large amount of wiring and is therefore b All the nodes in the network are points of failure of the entire
less economical. network.
b The central node is the single point of failure of the entire network. b It is complicated to remove devices from the chain.
b All the devices in the chain should be equipped with two RJ45
ports for connection purposes. A device with only one such port
can only be placed at the beginning or end of the chain. Only 2
such devices can therefore be used.
