Integration with Other EcoStruxure Systems
This guide presents several applications where EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation can be integrated with other EcoStruxure or third-party systems.
Example of Integration with EcoStruxure Building Operation (EBO)
The goal of integrating EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert with EcoStruxure Building Operation is to provide a single pane of glass for these two operational systems. This allows integrated mechanical and electrical facility management/maintenance teams to monitor both operational systems in a common interface.
Data acquisition
-
Electrical and energy data (including real-time, historical data, and events) from power and energy meters, circuit breaker trip units, and other intelligent electrical connected products (Schneider Electric or 3rd party) is acquired by EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert (or EcoStruxure Power Operation– not shown in the diagram below).
-
Mechanical data from Automation Servers and other mechanical field connected products is acquired by EcoStruxure Building Operation.
Integration of EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert data into EcoStruxure Building Operation
-
Electrical and energy data from EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert is transferred to EcoStruxure Building Operation using EcoStruxure Web Services to be visualized in the EcoStruxure Building Operation Web interface.
-
HTML5 web applications from EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert can also be integrated into the EcoStruxure Building Operation web interface (diagrams, dashboards, reports, etc.).
Integration of EcoStruxure Building Operation data into EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert
-
Historical data (such as equipment status) can be exchanged from EcoStruxure Building Operation to EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert using an ETL* engine to enable normalization of energy data with operational data from the Building Management System.
Example of Integration with EcoStruxure Plant (AVEVA System Platform)
The goal of integrating EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert with EcoStruxure Plant is to improve plant operation. For example, to help identify the origin of a power event that affects the industrial process, or to analyze the energy usage correlation with production processes to help continuously improve energy efficiency of plant operations.
Data acquisition
-
Electrical and energy data (including real-time, historical data, and events) from power and energy meters, circuit breaker trip units, and other intelligent electrical connected products (Schneider Electric or third party) is acquired by EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert (or EcoStruxure Power Operation– not shown in the diagram above).
-
Process data from PLCs, drives, or other process field devices is acquired by the SCADA software such as AVEVA System Platform.
Integration of AVEVA System Platform data into EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert
Capture in EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation of the most significant factors in the customer process is done through the standard integration capabilities provided with EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert or Power Operation. This includes using:
-
OPC* DA* standard (EcoStruxure Power Operation also supports OPC AE* Server and UA* Client)
-
ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) utility
-
Other simple data exchange formats such as .CSV, which can be imported into the database of the process SCADA system
Integration of EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert data into AVEVA System Platform
HMI integration can be done by integrating the HTML web pages of EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert inside EcoStruxure Plant's SCADA HMI to visualize normalized energy and process KPIs.
