Outputs
The Electrical Distribution Monitoring and Alarming application can provide the following suggested outputs in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and/or Power Operation.
Live Data Display
Single-Line Diagrams
The live status of the electrical distribution can be represented in the Edge Control software (EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation) or in extended reality (EcoStruxure XR Operator Advisor Client) in various forms such as:
-
Digital single-line diagrams, with real-time animation of the status of the electrical network
-
Real-time electrical data and equipment status
Detailed Diagrams
-
Custom data tables
-
Default device diagrams (pre-configured along with native device drivers)
-
Or real-time data in custom graphics (floor plans, elevation drawings)
Events and Alarms
Event Log Viewers
Events and alarms are uploaded from devices or generated by the Edge Control software (EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation) and displayed in native event and alarm viewers.
Chronological views include:
-
All events and alarms, acknowledged or unacknowledged alarms, summary alarms or incidents
-
High speed and high precision sequence of events to quickly locate the source of a power outage
Smart Alarming
Events or alarms can be intelligently grouped to be displayed as incidents and reduce the overall number of alarms in the viewer. Further analysis can be done through drill down into specific events (refer to Power Event Analysis Application).
In EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Power Operation, Smart Alarm categories include, among others:
-
Asset Monitoring
-
Power Quality
-
System Health (diagnostics)
Trends
Historical and real-time electrical and other measured data can be displayed as trends in Edge Control software. Multiple measurements from selected devices can be viewed with dynamic scaling on a configurable time range. Additionally, target lines can be applied to trended data. Trended data can also be exported in .CSV format.
Dashboards
In addition to specialized dashboards, any historical data from the system can be displayed in graphical dashboard gadgets in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation:
-
Bar chart
-
Trend chart
-
Grid (table)
-
Pie chart
-
Period over period
Additionally, information from the web (for example, weather feed) can be viewed as a dashboard.
Reports
In addition to specialized reports, numerous general reports are available by default in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or with Power Operation based on historical electrical values or event data. These reports can be generated on-demand or automatically, and sent via email to configured recipients. General Reports include, among others:
-
Trend/Multiple Trend Report
-
Single/Multiple Equipment Operation Report
-
Tabular Report
-
Load Profile Report
-
Event History Report
Data can also be exported into common file formats such as .CSV to import into other enterprise systems.
Notifications
Alarm notifications available with the optional Event Notification Module for EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Power Operation can be automatically sent via SMS or email to configured recipients on user-defined schedules.
Alarm notifications can be configured to delay sending notifications during a user-defined amount of time and to send a single notification for multiple events. This prevents flooding of notifications.
Analysis Tools
Power Events Incident Timeline
This feature of EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Power Operation intelligently groups individual events and alarms as single comprehensive incidents during a given time period. It helps highlight the root cause and the consequences of an incident.
For more information, refer to the Power Event Analysis Application.
Waveform Viewer
Electrical signal waveforms can be visualized with a native waveform viewer in both EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Power Operation.
These viewers allow for the following:
-
Toggle on/off voltage/current channels
-
RMS calculation, zoom, pan, export to CSV
-
Interactive phasor and harmonic (voltage and current) diagrams
-
Multiple waveforms to be compared to each other
Cloud-Based Analytics and Services
As an option, EcoStruxure Service Plan, powered by EcoStruxure Power Advisor, provides electrical network and alarm health analytics with recommendations from our Schneider Electric service experts. Issues and recommendations are shared with the user on a periodic basis. These analytics and recommendations include:
-
Analyze Edge Control historical alarms according to guidelines in ISA 18.2 / IEC 62682
-
Identify patterns and recommend actions to remove, repair or resolve alarms
-
Analyze and recommend actions for transformer overcapacity
-
Identify excessive voltage and current harmonics and recommend mitigation
-
Measure and recommend improvements of poor power factor

BMS Integration
EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert and Power Operation can seamlessly integrate with EcoStruxure Building Operation to enable real-time monitoring, alarms, dashboards, and reporting on electrical data in the BMS.
This integration is done through use of:
-
an EcoStruxure Web Services (EWS) interface
-
an Extract, Transform and Load (ETL*) utility
-
an HMTL web page interface
