What You Will Find in Each Application

The context and the purpose of the application are described, and the main outcomes are listed.

Then, a system description is provided using the following elements:

• Electrical architecture

  Electrical distribution architectures (example on the following page) show the connected products required at each level of the electrical distribution hierarchy (from medium voltage to final low voltage distribution) to perform the appropriate function required for the application.

• Digital architecture

  Digital architectures show how connected products are connected to each other, to the Edge Control, and to the cloud-based Apps, Analytics, and Services. This is broken down by Ethernet, serial, wireless, and hardwired interfaces.

• Data flow

  A data flow diagram (example below)

  

• Data flow in detail

  A description of the sub-functions (typically, data recording and timestamping, data processing, etc.), as well as their inputs and outputs, is provided with all related connected products, software, and services which contribute to the sub-applications.

Below is a generic electrical architecture (for illustration purposes). For each application, the positioning of all connected products contributing to the application is shown. Where necessary, detailed views further explain relevant nuances.

Below is a generic digital architecture diagram (for illustration purposes). The purpose of this diagram is to illustrate all connected products found in the electrical hierarchy with appropriate communication links.
