Com'X 510

Main Functions

Data Collector

Collects and stores energy data from up to 64 field devices, connected to either:

• Ethernet TCP/IP field network

• Modbus Serial line network (up to 32 devices)

• Embedded digital and analog inputs.

"Field devices" consist of:

• PowerLogic meters for power and energy monitoring.

• Masterpact, PowerPact, or Compact circuit breakers for protection and monitoring.

• Water, Air, Gas, Electricity, and Steam consumption meters, from specialized manufacturers, delivering pulses as per standard (see table at end of this document).

• Environmental sensors such as temperatures, humidity, and CO2 levels in a building, providing analogue information.

Data logging and storage capabilities include:

• Data logging period: configured from every minute to once a week.

• Data storage duration: up to two years, depending on quantity of collected data.

• Able to set time and send reset instructions to field devices.

Embedded Energy Management Software

Com’X provides the end-user with immediate visibility into energy consumption throughout the site. When Com’X is connected to the Local Area Network (LAN), several web pages are accessible via any standard web browser, (without plug-in or additional components).

These web pages display real-time data as it is collected, in easy to understand tabular and summary formats. In addition, users can get simple analysis of historical data in bar graph or trending formats.

Additional Functions

Data Publisher

Batches of collected data can also be periodically transmitted to an Internet server, as:

• XML files, for processing by EcoStruxure Analytics & Services Products, such as Facility Advisor

• CSV files for viewing in Excel or transformed or uploading to programs such as EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or any compatible software.

Data publishing function supports 4 transfer protocols over Ethernet or Wi-Fi:

• HTTP

• HTTPS

• FTP

• SMTP.

Gateway

If selected by the user, the Com’X510 can make data from connected devices available in real time:

• in Modbus TCP/IP format over Ethernet or Wi-Fi

• for requests by energy management software

• gateway to Zigbee device data by external Modbus TCP/IP clients.

Modbus packets can be sent from managing software to field devices through Modbus serial line or Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet.
