Performance and Limitations
-
Performance and limitations on Panel Server Advanced:
-
When SFTP publication is enabled, alarms are displayed in the Panel Server webpages but are not published on SFTP Server.
-
No manual addition of wireless devices connected to a child/downstream gateway by using EcoStruxure Power Commission software.
-
Automatic discovery of wireless devices under a child gateway is limited to 64 devices because wireless devices are seen as Modbus TCP/IP devices.
-
The typical response time to Modbus TCP/IP request for a wireless IEEE 802.15.4 device is 30 ms.
-
The maximum response time to Modbus TCP/IP request for a wireless IEEE 802.15.4 device is 1 s, set up Modbus/TCP client timeout accordingly.
-
Typical Panel Server latency between Modbus TCP/IP request forwarded to the Modbus serial network is 10 ms.
-
Wi-Fi function available through a connection to a Wi-Fi infrastructure only. Access point function not available.
-
-
Limitations on logging and alarming:
-
The number of individual data points that can be sampled is limited to 2,000 and limited to a flow of 500 data points per minute.
-
The number of individual alarms that can be configured for monitoring and sending an email notification is limited to 100.
-
-
Limitations on Smartlink Modbus:
-
Commissioning by using EcoStruxure Power Commission software only (not available through Panel Server webpages).
-
Control of Smartlink Modbus output(s) by using Panel Server webpages is not available.
-
-
Limitations on wireless devices: PowerTag Control and PowerTag Display are not supported by Panel Server Universal.
