Energy Management using Smart Equipment

Schneider Electric’s exclusive Smart Equipment can be fully directed to company IT networks to help improve energy performance.

This user guide provides basic information on the Enerlin’X system and how it can be used to design, build, and configure Smart Equipment.

The guide can help determine how to equip circuit breakers and other protective devices in the PowerPacT and MasterPacT ranges, depending on the information required from each of them. This guide is a supplement to the other Smart Equipment design and construction documents.

For additional information about Enerlin’X, see catalog 0614CT1802, Enerlin’X Digital Solutions for Smart Systems Catalog.

For additional information about ULP, see user guide DOCA0093EN, ULP (Universal Logic Plug) System User Guide.

Five Types of Information

Below are definitions of the five types of information available through the Enerlin'X system. First, select the relevant information types for your application, then consult the Data Acquisition section of this document for the equipment options.


	Metering Indicates the electricity consumption.

	Measurement Provides a real-time indication of electricity consumption and can track its rise or fall. MicroLogic A trip units provide adjustable protection and have a built-in ammeter. MicroLogic E trip units provide MicroLogic A functions plus energy measurements. MicroLogic P trip units provide MicroLogic E functions plus basic power monitoring and metering functions. MicroLogic H trip units provide MicroLogic P functions plus enhanced power monitoring, and power quality measurements.

	Capacity For the same electricity consumption, the installation capacity may be over-used or under-used.

	Availability Information about the state of the device.

	Controls Control signals switch the loads on or off.
