Switchboard Energy Management Using the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure Panel Server
Now supplied by the Conrad Sourcing Platform: the PAS600L expansion module makes energy management and data analysis transparent.
- Smart Ethernet gateway for up to 64 wireless and Modbus RTU devices (all brands)
- Power consumption analysis reduces energy usage
- Data visualisation via embedded web server – no additional software required
Schneider Electric are introducing their next-generation IoT gateway: “The PAS panel server is a data server fitted to a switchboard cabinet,” explains Manuel Gschwend, Product Manager at Conrad Electronic. “It uses embedded webpages to visualise equipment, meter and sensor data via wireless and Modbus RTU protocol while Modbus TCP directly connects devices to controller technology.” Now in stock and available for purchase, this ethernet gateway is just one of the 30,000 items that make up Schneider Electric’s product range supplied by the Conrad Sourcing Platform in its entirety.
Data Servers in Switchboard Cabinets
Transparent energy management turns switchboard cabinets into easily integrable building blocks of an energy management strategy: panel servers enable usage analysis and load profiling which improves energy efficiency and reduces power consumption. The collected data are forwarded in bundles that help set up the energy management system. The PAS600L processes information obtained from up to 64 wireless and/or Modbus RTU devices. In addition, Modbus TCP protocol enables a seamless, transparent and register-conform connection to controllers and control systems.
Efficient Energy Management
Comprehensive usage analysis reduces both consumption and downtime. Moreover, non-stop heat monitoring helps minimise the risk of electrical fires. The Universal PAS600L panel server allows setting up energy management systems that comply with ISO 50001, ISO 50002 (DIN 16247-1) and ISO 50006 standards.
Straightforward Setup and Data Evaluation
Built-in web servers and embedded webpages enable real-time data evaluation, with no additional software being required. Independent of the cabinet’s location, readings can be displayed sorted by media, zones and the type of meter that has been used. One really handy feature is the automatic recognition of all used devices at the time you configure the system. And choosing alarm setups is just as easy.
A large customer base, a wide product range and the latest digital e-procurement solutions make Conrad the perfect partner when it comes to both supplying Schneider Electric products and helping their users tackle everyday challenges. “At Conrad, business customers need just a few mouse clicks to find precisely the product they need,” summarises Frank Michel, Senior eCommerce Account Manager at Schneider Electric. “And if you use the Schneider Electric panel server, you need just as few mouse clicks to make energy distribution as transparent as it should be. Means our collaboration increases efficiency and profitability in every respect.”
