4 Before You Begin NOTICE NOTICE is used to address practices not related to physical injury. Note: Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained only by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric for any consequences arising out of the use of this material. A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the construction, operation and installation of electrical equipment, and has received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved. This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of industrial processes. The type or model of automation equipment suitable for each application will vary depending on factors such as the control function required, degree of protection required, production methods, unusual conditions and government regulations etc. In some applications more than one processor may be required when backup redundancy is needed. Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup, operation and maintenance of the solution. Therefore only the user can determine the automation equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be properly used. When selecting automation and control equipment and related software for a particular application, the user should refer to the applicable local and national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council s Accident Prevention Manual also provides much useful information. Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks protection have been installed and are operational before placing the equipment into service. All mechanical/electrical interlocks and safeties protection must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software programming. Note: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks protection is outside the scope of this document. START UP AND TEST Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation after installation, the system should be given a start up test by qualified personnel to verify the correct operation of the equipment. It is important that arrangements for such a check be made and that enough time is allowed to perform complete and satisfactory testing. WARNING EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD Follow all start up tests as recommended in the equipment documentation. Store all equipment documentation for future reference. Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments. Failure to follow these instructions can cause death, serious injury or equipment damage. Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds, except those grounds installed according to local regulations (according to the National Electrical Code in the USA, for example). If high-potential voltage testing is necessary, follow recommendations in the equipment documentation to prevent accidental equipment damage. 4

15 3 - Design and Validation 3. Design and Validation Your actual performance will vary, depending on environment, duty cycle, load type, and other factors Network Architecture The network architecture supports a switched mode connection with Com'X 510 and EGX100 gateways connected to the Ethernet network via an upstream switch. Three of the meters (PM3250, EM1200 and EM6400) are serially connected to the EGX100 and the rest of the meters are serially connected to the Com'X 510. Pulse meters and sensors are connected to the Com'X 510 digital and analog inputs. Below is the lab panel layout for the architecture: 15

16 3 - Design and Validation A TWIDO programmable logic controller was configured with TwidoSuite software v2.20 to generate two continuous pulse outputs at an interval of 100ms. These pulses are used as inputs to a water or gas custom pulse devices. These devices are based on custom models in the Com'X 510 Custom Library and are used to simulate water and gas flow rates. Com'X 510 product testing confirms that these types of meters are supported by Com'X Verification Results Commissioning the Com'X 510 for this architecture was completed in 23 minutes and 12 seconds, and includes the following configuration steps: 1. Upgrade firmware over USB (to v1.0.10). 2. Log in to the Com'X. 3. Verify the firmware is installed. 4. Set up publication. 5. Set up date/time. 6. Set up logging interval. 7. Configure Site information. 8. Add all devices (8) 9. Turn on publishing. 10. Turn on data logging. The serial devices were added using the Device Discovery feature. Custom models were created for the gas and water meters and humidity and temperature sensors, and this is included in the commissioning time Validation Results The Com'X 510 has built-in web pages for viewing real-time data and data stored on the box. The Monitoring tab provides real-time and historical chart views for devices through the gateway, and the Measurements Table provides views for equipment connected downstream. You can also refer to published data logs for each device for further data analysis. See Operation for details on using Com'X 510 energy monitoring features. 16
