Digital Architecture

In this architecture, the data is collected from connected products either directly over Ethernet, via gateways (such as the EcoStruxure Panel Server), or by the ASCO CPMA. This data is then recorded and processed by the Edge Control software (EcoStruxure Power Operation) for on-premise visualization, analysis, and reporting.

Ethernet-based communication is preferred for fast acquisition of source and network reconfiguration conditions as well as fast action of automatic systems.

In addition, Ethernet-based communication architectures offer a faster response time for user controls. Legacy connected products can be accessed through protocols such as Serial Modbus but will exhibit slower performance.

The recommended digital architecture for the application is shown below:
