Architecture with PrismaSeT Active Wireless Panel Server

The following topic presents a typical PrismaSeT Active architecture with Wireless Panel Server using LoRa communication.

The Wireless Panel Server is a gateway embedded in the roof of PrismaSeT P Active or PrismaSeT G Active switchboards, enabling wireless connectivity to Schneider Electric cloud.

The Wireless Panel Server offers the following advantages and services:

  • Switchboard voltage loss monitoring

  • Fire prevention in electrical distribution switchboards

  • Power availability alarming

  • Energy consumption management

The Wireless Panel Server provides monitoring of the switchboard via EcoStruxure Facility Expert software.

The Wireless Panel Server provides the following features:

  • Voltage presence indicator, locally with the Wireless Panel Server LEDs.

  • Voltage loss detected in the switchboard:
    • Locally with the Wireless Panel Server LEDs.

    • Remotely by notifications on mobile devices (smartphone or tablet).

  • LoRa communication enables voltage loss monitoring through long range communication.

  • IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication enables communication with wireless devices installed in the switchboard:

    • HeatTag sensors

    • PowerTag Energy sensors

    • Wireless indication auxiliaries for ComPacT NSX and ComPacT NSXm (available beginning 2022)

    • Acti9 Active (available end 2022)

  • Remote communication with a smartphone or tablet through Bluetooth® wireless technology.

  • Remote alerts with actionable details through EcoStruxure Facility Expert App - Operations subscription.

  • Continuous monitoring and trends through EcoStruxure Facility Expert App - Energy subscription.

  • Firmware update.

Maximum Performance

Supported Wireless Devices

The following table presents the IEEE 802.15.4 wireless devices installed in a PrismaSeT switchboard and able to communicate with the embedded Wireless Panel Server.

Application Wireless device Description

Fire prevention

HeatTag sensors

Innovative smart sensor, able to analyze gas and particles in the switchboard and alert before any smoke or insulator browning occurs.

Acti9 Active (available end 2022)

Arc Fault Detection Device that helps protect circuits against short-circuits and overcurrent, persons against earth-leakage, and assets thanks to an in-built arc flash detection device.

Power availability

Wireless indication auxiliary for ComPacT NSX and ComPacT NSXm (available beginning 2022)

Wireless indication auxiliary that provides remote and local information about the circuit breaker status (open, close, trip, trip on electrical default).

Energy management

PowerTag Energy sensors

Compact and easy-to-install Class 1 wireless communication energy sensor that monitors and measures energy and power in real-time. PowerTag Energy sensor sends alerts in the event of an electrical anomaly.
