Introduction

EcoStruxure Master Range

EcoStruxure is Schneider Electric’s IoT-enabled, plug-and-play, open, interoperable architecture and platform, in Homes, Buildings, Data Centers, Infrastructure and Industries. Innovation at Every Level from Connected Products to Edge Control, and Apps, Analytics and Services.

Overview

EcoStruxure Panel Server is a high performance gateway which provides, depending on the model:

• easy and fast connection to

  • edge control software such as EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or EcoStruxure Power Operation,

  • Building Management Systems such as EcoStruxure Building Operation,

  • cloud applications such as EcoStruxure Energy Hub, EcoStruxure Facility Expert, EcoStruxure Resource Advisor, and EcoStruxure Asset Advisor.

• an all-in-one gateway to retrieve data from IEEE 802.15.4 and Modbus devices, and optimize energy and operation management solution.

• ease of commissioning with EcoStruxure Power Commission software, enabling device plug-and-play and auto-discovery features.

• ease of operation with user-friendly embedded webpages, and data contextualization for more relevant analytics.

• communication protocols:

  • Ethernet

  • IEEE 802.15.4

  • Wi-Fi

• Wired by Design models with no native wireless chipset, removing the potential threat from unauthorized radio devices
