General Principle to Commission an EcoStruxure Panel Server

Overview

The commissioning of an Panel Server can be performed using one of the following tools:

• EcoStruxure Power Commission software. See EcoStruxure Power Commission Online Help.

  Use the software for a system-focused, global approach to configure the Panel Server and all the devices in the switchboard. In addition, the software advanced features allow you to:

  • prepare a project off-line.

  • save a project (system configuration).

  • create a new project from an existing one.

  • generate a report with data collected during configuration testing and to retrieve the settings updated through the Panel Server webpages.

  • to export a project to a supervision software (for example, EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert).

• Panel Server webpages.

  Use the webpages for a device-focused approach to

  • add or remove Modbus and/or wireless devices

  • configure or modify settings of connected devices

  • set up data contextualization of connected devices

  • set up data sampling and data publishing

  • export data to files

• EcoStruxure Power Commission Mobile app in conjunction with EcoStruxure Energy Hub.

  Use the app for a device-focused commissioning of a limited selection of settings through a Wi-Fi connection. For more information, refer to the detailed topic.

During commissioning of the Panel Server through an Ethernet connection, , update the firmware of the Panel Server.
