Data Recording and Timestamping

For the Cost Allocation application, a timestamp accuracy of ±1 second is sufficient.

Advanced power meters such as the PowerLogic ION9000, PM8000, HDPM6000, and some PowerLogic PM5000 models (PM53xx and PM55xx) can timestamp and record onboard energy measurements. EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation can then retrieve the records with their original timestamp.

For other devices (PowerLogic P5/P3, MasterPacT MTZ, Galaxy VX/VL/VM/VS, entry-level PowerLogic PM5000 models, Acti9 iEM3000, PowerLogic PowerTag, etc.) energy measurements are acquired by the connected products and then recorded and timestamped by EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation.

When acquiring data from other customer systems, timestamps can also be imported through OPCOPC = Open Platform Communications* or ETLETL = The EcoStruxure Extract Transform Load (ETL) engine is a companion application for EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Power Operation. It is used to extract historical data from one application (Schneider Electric or third-party), then transform that data so it can be loaded into another application.*.
