    Study Notes

    Architecture

    • The recommended architecture for Power Monitoring Expert is Standalone.
    • This architecture involves using a single server to host both the application and the database.
    • A distributed database architecture is an alternative option when the standalone approach is not feasible.
    • In a distributed architecture, the application resides on one server, while the database is located on a separate server.
    • The distributed architecture does not provide any performance benefits over standalone architecture.

    Deployment Scenarios for Distributed Database Architecture

    • Existing SQL server: If the customer already has an existing SQL server, a distributed architecture can utilize it.
    • IT Requirements: If IT regulations prevent installing SQL server with another application on the same server, distributed architecture is necessary.
    • Redundancy: If SQL server redundancy is required through SQL Clustering or third-party tools, a distributed database architecture is needed.
    • Database Management: If specific database management rules are required, such as SQL jobs, backups, or data security, distributed architecture allows for separate management.

    Client Types

    • There are two types of clients: Engineering Client and Web Client.
    • Both types require a Client Access license.

    Engineering Client

    • An administrative interface for configuring and managing the PME system.
    • Installed on the main PME server as a thick client.
    • Contains applications for system management, design, and configuration:
      • Management Console: For adding, removing, and configuring system components, such as devices.
      • Designer: For creating graphical representations of the power system, displaying real-time and historical data.
      • Configuration Tools: For configuring setup registers of PowerLogic ION meters and creating frameworks on ION devices or software nodes.

    Web Client

    • Provides access to applications like dashboards, diagrams, trends, alarms, and reports for daily power management tasks.
    • Primary user application for viewing real-time, historical, and alarm data in a single interface.
    • Applications include:
      • Dashboards: View high-level, historical, and real-time data in gadgets.
      • Diagrams: View low-level, historical, and real-time data in one-line diagrams and graphics.
      • Trends: View trends for real-time and historical data.

    Network Types

    • There are two basic network types: Ethernet and Serial.

    Ethernet Networks

    • Can be incorporated into regular corporate LANs or be independent networks.
    • Devices are configured with fixed IP addresses (IPv4 or IPv6) and ports or based on device names.
    • Ethernet communications rely on encapsulated Modbus or ION protocols and are not encrypted.

    Serial Device Networks

    • Require an intermediate converter or gateway to establish a network connection.
    • Devices are configured by providing fixed IP addresses, ports, or through device names.
    • Serial communications can limit overall system performance.
    • Bandwidth needs are generally low but depend on the volume and type of data requested from devices by PME.

    Power Monitoring Devices

    • A variety of electrical monitoring devices are available for different applications.
    • Devices offer multiple communication protocols, including Modbus, Ethernet, and IEC 61850.
    • Key products include:
      • Easergy P1, P3, and P5: Offer basic to advanced capabilities for different power distribution systems.
      • Sepam Series 60-80, MiCOM Px10, Px20, Px30, and Px40: Provide comprehensive monitoring, protection, and automation functionalities.
      • Vamp 11: Designed for basic energy submetering in various applications.

    System Integration

    • PME can connect with external systems and software as both a server and a client.
    • Data can be exchanged between PME and other systems, including real-time and historical information.
    • Integration technologies include:
      • OPC DA server: Exports real-time data.
      • OPC DA client: Imports real-time data.
      • EWS server: Exports real-time, historical, and alarm data.
      • EWS client: Imports historical and alarm data.
      • ETL: Exports or imports historical data.
      • ODBC: Provides access to historical data for any ODBC-compliant application.
      • PQDIF: Exports power quality data in a standardized format for sharing power quality information between software applications.

    Virtual Processor Service (VIP)

    • A Windows-based service that runs on the PME server.
    • Functions as a virtual device, operating within the server's memory, not as a remote device.
    • Contains ION modules for processing information, providing coordinated data collection, processing, and control functions.
    • Enables distributed operations, customized solutions, and data exporting for various industry needs.

    EcoStruxure Integration

    • PME integrates with EcoStruxureTM Power Operation (PO) and EcoStruxureTM Building Operation (EBO) for enhanced functionality and user experience.
    • PME reports and dashboards are embedded within PO and EBO interfaces.
    • The integration provides a seamless user experience by combining PME features within the respective EcoStruxure system interfaces.
