The instructions are presented in the order in which they are to be carried out. They
supplement the assembly or installation documents supplied with the equipment and
the specific installation guides for each product.

The installation guide includes three chapters:

bb typical architectures: a presentation of typical single and multi-site architectures
for the on-site energy management solution, including the different information
sources and flows
bb installation and settings:
vv monitoring devices and electrical equipment
vv Modbus RS 485 / Ethernet TCP/IP communication gateway
vv wiring and installation recommendations
vv iRIO
vv energy management functions (via iRIO Web pages).
bb maintenance:
vv check-list
vv iRIO software updates
vv troubleshooting and diagnostics.

This guide is intended for the electrical contractor or integrator in charge of installing
and setting the energy management solution.

 Typical architectures Single-site and multi-site
architectures

Typical on-site solutions can be divided into two categories: single-site and
multi-site. Note that throughout this document, a "site" generally refers to a separate
building.

Single-site architecture
In a typical single-site solution, energy management information is sent to the iRIO
energy management controller either directly by connected devices or via the
various building networks and gateways.

and green for heartbeat/communications indication.

IEC 62053-22 class 0.5S accuracy for active energy

Accurate energy measurement for cost allocation.

Power Quality analysis

The PM5350 offers THD and TDD measurements as standard. Total Demand
Distortion is based on a point of common coupling (PCC), which is a common point
that each user receives power from the power source. The TDD compares the
contribution of harmonics versus the maximum demand load.

Load management
Peak demands with time stamping are provided. Predicted demand values can be
used in basic load shedding applications.

Alarming with time stamping

Over 30 alarm conditions, such as under/over conditions, digital input changes, and
phase unbalance inform you of events. A time-stamped log maintains a record of the
last 40 alarm events.

Load timer
Load timer setpoint adjustable to monitor and advise maintenance requirements.

SIM
Smart Interface Modules (SIMs) are IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices) used in
energy efficiency applications which provide local physical interfaces with building
WAGES (Water Air Gas Electricity Steam) meters, sensors and actuators and
communicate through wired or wireless networks with remote monitoring and control
systems.
SIMs can be used to collect information from physically dispersed WAGES meters
that cannot be connected to the iRIO Energy management controller or EGX100
gateways because of their location.
SIMs communicate with gateways using:
bb wired protocol: Modbus RS 485 SIM modules are connected, using a shielded
twisted pair, to Ethernet / RS 485 gateways such as the EGX100
bb wireless protocol: ZigBee - commonly used for RF (Radio Frequency) WPANs
(Wireless Personal Area Networks). SIM modules and routers (depending on
distances) are connected, using an RF ZigBee network, to a specific Ethernet /
ZigBee gateway.

SIM versions

1 Step 1: Modbus/RS 485 Settings

bb Enter each parameter for the SIM10M Modbus port:
vv Modbus Baud rate, Parity and Address for iRIO connection (keep Stop bits=1)
vv SIM module type is an optional parameter.

2 Step 2: Pulse counters

bb Pulse mode only:
vv checkbox enabled: Whatever the pulse width, the input always counts and reports
the number of pulses in the Wx registers (see registers W0, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5).
vv checkbox disabled: In this case, the input counts the number of pulses (see
registers W0, W1, W2, W3, W4, W5) for pulses with a maximum width of 500ms.
Above 500 ms, the input does not count and report that the input is closed as for a
status contact (see registers CB0, CB1, CB2, CB3, CB4 and CB5).

bb Pulse weight:
vv Leave the default setting (1.000).

Note: for the iRIO application, you can enter the pulse weight in the iRIO configuration web page
(see Variable management, page 132).

bb Units:
Leave this setting at its default value (it is not used for the iRIO application).

3 Step 3: Application mode

bb "On Site" means the number of pulses is multiplied by the pulse weight entered.
vv for example: W1 register (register returned to iRIO) = Number of DI1 pulses x
Pulse weight DI1
bb "Remote" means that the SIM returns only the number of pulses and the pulse
weight field is not taken in to account.
vv for example: W1 register (register returned to iRIO) = number of DI1 pulses.

7. Transmission interval
The transmission interval determines the rate of at which the SIM6BZ sends
data to the coordinator. The following values can be selected:
b 30 seconds
b 60 seconds
b 120 seconds (2 minutes)
b 240 seconds (4 minutes)
b 480 seconds (8 minutes).

SIM battery life depends on the Transmission interval, Pulse frequency,

Pulse length, and Number of inputs connected.
Therefore the higher the value of the transmission interval, the longer the battery
lifetime of the SIM. The default value of 30 seconds can be modified in the Nodes
menu shown below.

Note that the Xflow data refresh rate also depends on the transmission interval
selected on SIM6BZ.

For example, if the transmission interval selected on the SIM6BZ is 480 seconds,
data will be updated every 480 seconds on the Zigbee gate way. On iRIO, Xflow will
poll for data as defined by the user and the data read will be the last updated value
on the Zigbee gateway.

To improve the time resolution of data on synoptics, charts & reports that are update
in real time, select lower transmission intervals.

The table below shows the SIM6BZ battery life expectancy for values pulse
frequencies & transmission intervals.
Transmission interval Pulse Frequency on inputs(Hz) Years
30 seconds 3 2.51
30 seconds 8 2.09
480 seconds 1 18.84
480 seconds 3 12.56

Setting of Modbus RS 485 / Ethernet
Ethernet TCP/IP gateway
TCP/IP communication gateway

The EGX100 can be used to connect Modbus devices when you are too far from the
iRIO master Modbus port. This can be the case for large buildings or several
buildings connected by the same IP network or ADSL connection.
Note: the EGX100 has no buffer memory for information transmitted through the gateway.

The following describes the different steps for setting up the EGX100 and declaring
the Modbus devices connected below the EGX100.
Before proceeding, please note:
b Modbus product addresses
b Modbus product Baud rates
b Modbus product Parity
b the subnet mask IP where your EGX will be connected
b the IP of the router if the EGX100 is not connected directly to the iRIO network.
Note: to obtain the Subnet mask and gateway address of your network where EGX will be
connected, you can open an "MS-DOS" window and write the command "ipconfig /all" with your
laptop. Copy and paste the parameters displayed for the Subnet mask and gateway if you have a
router.

Step 1 First connection to EGX100

Step 2 Configuration of IP Network port

Step 3 Configuration of Modbus Serial port

Step 4 Modbus device declarations

together.

Note: you need to put this switch on your local Ethernet network if you need more than one

Some IT network providers also protect the smtp by a login and password. In this
case, you must ask your internet provider to give you the address, login and
password of your smtp process. You then enter these parameters into your iRIO to
allow it to generate email.

Note: you can attach a report to an email or create email with content dedicated to an alarm.

bb transfer of reports from your iRIO to another database:

Your iRIO can send a report over the Ethernet network to a directory located in

 Installation and settings Modbus - Ethernet TCP/IP
Wiring and installation

recommendations Addressing on Modbus Ethernet TCP/IP

Each device connected to the Modbus Ethernet TCP/IP network has three
independent connection parameters:
bb Parameter1: IP address. This address identifies the device connected to
the Ethernet network.
Each IP embeds the services described in "Modbus Ethernet TCP/IP Services"
(see page 86). An IP address activates the following services via virtual ports:
SMTP: 25
FTP: 21
HTTP: 80
Modbus read/write operations exchanged between laptop, EGXs and iRIO: 502
Example: To read data of Modbus device connected to an EGX100 from your iRIO,
you read the IP of the EGX100 on your iRIO and access port 502 to obtain the values
contained in the Modbus device.
bb Parameter2: Subnet mask. this data specifies the local network to which the
device is linked. The subnet mask also determines, for every address, if the device is
linked to the local network or not.
In the example below, the subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0 and the iRIO IP address is
192.168.0.2. This means that all IP addresses beginning with 192.168.0.x will be
included in the local network of the iRIO.

Mask: 255.255.255.0 Mask: 255.255.255.0 Mask: 255.255.255.0

In the example above, this is the case for all the devices except EGX100 gateway
N2, for which the last digit in the IP address before the "x" is 2 instead of 0.
This gateway is therefore not included in this local network and iRIO cannot
communicate with it.
Note: If the subnet mask=255.255.0.0 (i.e. an additional 0), we take into account IP addresses
192.168.x.x.
bb Parameter3: Gateway address. This is the IP address where you have to forward
IP information to other devices located outside the local network. Most of the time the
gateway is the internal IP of the router.
Note: If no router is used, leave the gateway parameter blank.

filter the devices allowed to send information from your network to the public
network.

You can also change the port number of the IP address in your router mapping table.
It is widely known that port 80 is the default HTTP port (port used for iRIO access).
You can remap this port to indicate to the router that port 80 is now available from
another port number to access iRIO web pages from the public internet.

The iRIO range is based on a modular architecture consisting of a central processing

unit, a power supply unit and numerous input/output boards.
1 Power supply enclosure UPS-2 (W x H x D: 105 x 90 x 55 mm).
2 iRIO CPU module (W x H x W: 140 x 90 x 70 mm).
3 EXT-1 extension with 4 slots for T1 boards (W x H x D: 70 x 90 x 70 mm).
4 EXT-2 extension with 1 slot for T2 board (W x H x D: 70 x 90 x 70 mm).

The iRIO range is highly modular with interchangeable boards (except for the CPU
board and the power supply board). Just pull on a board to remove it from its slot.
The boards can be positioned and replaced as the user wishes.
Check carefully that the iRIO modules are not powered up before removing the front
panel of the their enclosures

iRIO processor module
iRIO

Technical characteristics
The iRIO is an energy management controller based on an Atmel AT91RM9200
(ARM9) CPU/Win CE board running Schneider Electric Xflow embedded software
for telemetry applications.

Hardware
bb Enclosure: PVC UL94-V0, modular format, DIN rail mount, screw terminal
connection, separable electronics.
bb Conditions of use: temperature: 25 to +70 C; humidity: 95 %
bb Standards: IEC 61131-2 compliant
vv EMC: EN 61000-6-2 for immunity; EN 61000-6-4 for disturbances
vv Lightning: 61000-4-4; 61000-4-5
vv Electrical safety: EN 61950.
bb IMPORTANT: this is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product
may cause radio interference which may require special measures to be taken.
bb CPU board: Atmel AT91RM9200 180 MHz CPU with 16 MB flash memory, 16 MB
DRAM and 2 MB SRAM, running a custom WIN CE (4.2) version.
bb Communications: 2 RS 485 ports, 1 RS 232 port or GSM internal modem,
Ethernet 10BaseT/100BaseTx; one of the RS 485 links (RS 485: COM4) is
accessible from the power supply enclosure (explained later in this document).
bb Memory expansion: a Compact Flash device is included.
bb I/O management: a complete range of I/O boards can be provided. All these
boards are recognised automatically by the iRIO.
bb Third-party equipment I/O management: PLCs, controllers, meters, inverters,
HMIs, etc. on various communication links (serial RS 485, RS 232, Ethernet) and
protocols (standard or proprietary).
bb A Watchdog device for both hardware and software prevents the iRIO from
remaining in an unknown status. In case of any problem (application or hardware
environment), the iRIO automatically restarts.

Software
The OS layers include a boot utility and a custom version of Win CE 4.2.
WIN CE TCP/IP is used for Ethernet communications, but the stack used for server
and client PPP communications (modem or local RS 232 link) is proprietary.
The application software is Schneider Electric Xflow embedded software for
telemetry applications.
Capacity:
bb 2000 variables (I/O variables + internal variables (calculation, system information)
bb 1000 alarms
bb 50 history files (alarm, event, measurement files, etc.). Each file can save up to
65535 records
bb 200 devices (PLC, iRIO I/O boards, inverters, meters, controllers, etc.)
bb 50 dashboards
bb 200 mimic diagrams
bb 50 alert call groups (a call group comprises 1 to 3 main alarm recipients with
2 backup numbers per main recipient)
bb 128 users (four access levels + customisable levels)
bb 500 annual and weekly time schedules
bb 50 applications tasks (application programs are independent but managed from
Xflow; these programs can be developed by Schneider Electric or by a third-party
company).

Operating tools
bb Web browser (PC).

Process and control functions

bb Calculation formulae (one per variable, two per alarm).
bb IEC 61131-3 programming (support of the 5 standard languages).
bb Application tasks: C programming.

iRIO

Disks
bb SRAMDISK : 2 MB storage directory for files containing measurements, alarms,
connections, events, states, outgoing calls and the application configuration.
bb SD board and CompactFlash (storage memory expansion) interfaces.
bb FLASHDISK: 8 MB, embedded firmware (Xflow) and Web profile Xflow. Includes
notably a Web server, an XML parser and a database. All have been developed and
are maintained by Schneider Electric.
The main communication protocols are:
bb HTTP (Ethernet and PPP)
bb SMTP
bb DHCP (can be disabled)
bb FTP
bb SNTP
bb SOAP (envelope to allow direct XML requests from a third-party IT application)
bb Hayes (modem management, including GSM extensions)
bb Modbus (modem and serial), Modbus TCP (Ethernet)
bb Napbus , which is a proprietary extension of the Modbus protocol : this protocol
supports auto-description of the iRIO database, structured files (timestamped end
organised data and raw file transfer, time management, etc.).

Security considerations
The iRIO energy management controller provides remote access to critical data and
networks. These functions have been secured:
bb no access is allowed to the system without prior identification. All connections are
logged and, depending upon modem capacities, caller ID is supported. Unsuccessful
attempts to connect from Xflow are logged and delayed to avoid multiple attempts.
For each remote connection, a maximum number of outgoing calls per day can be
configured
bb the operating system is in no way accessible: it is a single binary file loaded at boot
in DRAM and cannot be altered
bb the Web server included has been developed by Schneider Electric and does not
allow any access other than to Xflow application Web pages. No Microsoft
components are used except for low-level OS utilities and drivers and no ActiveX or
Java applets are used. The WIN CE version has been built without support for
DCOM
bb web access to Xflow requires a user name and a password. An RSA encryption is
used for the password (private/public keys). A new key is calculated for each new
session. A session times out after 20 minutes without any action
bb the password never appears in natural language (neither in the Web pages nor in
the configuration files)
bb the session number is needed in the URL to be sure that the user is still the same.
This session number is also encrypted (which means it is not predictable)
bb we have not heard of any viruses in WIN CE 4.2 and, if there are any, iRIO does
not offer any entry points for them
bb there is no need for a regular security patch for the operating system. iRIO may be
used as an IP router (modem/Ethernet). This function is only available on order and
cannot be activated by configuration.

Schneider Electric has audited Xflow network security: the only critical issue was
the IP routing function, which has been since disabled by default and will be provided
only for special orders.

Wiring recommendations
The typical cable characteristics are given in the table below.
Characteristics Dimensions
Power supply (24 V DC) Flexible 3 x 0.75 mm2

Power supply Non flexible 3 x 1.5 mm2

(120 V AC-230 V AC)
Phone network Non flexible, 1 2 pairs (screened SYT1 Core dia. 0.5 mm
multipair telephone cable)
Digital input Non flexible, 1 pair, screened Core dia. 0.5 mm

Analog inputs Flexible, 1 pair, shielded 0.6 mm2 to 1.5 mm2

Digital output Flexible, 1 pair 0.6 mm2 - 9/10

Analog output Flexible, 1 pair, shielded 0.6 mm2 min.

RS 485 network Flexible, 2 pairs, twisted and shielded 0.6 mm2 - 9/10

All the shields should be connected to a solid ground.

A) Input wiring
bb The conductors for low level signals such as digital or analog inputs should be
remote from those for power supply, phone or commands such as digital outputs.
See your local electrical regulations.
bb Use a separate cable for each input. Otherwise, multipair cable should be used for
one type of measurement: either analog or digital.
bb The cable should be shielded for analog data.
bb The shield should be connected on the iRIO module side and kept open on the
measurement side. The shield should be connected to the ground with a cable of
large cross section.
bb The screen should be connected to the ground on both sides.

B) Digital output wiring

bb It is necessary to take into account the maximum acceptable current and voltage
for the unit and the characteristics of the equipment to be controlled.
bb If it is not possible to control the equipment directly, relays should be used.
See your local electrical regulations for distances and choice of equipment with
the minimum overvoltage at opening.

C) Network wiring
bb It is recommended to use one pair, and preferably two pairs, of twisted and
shielded cable. The second pair is used if the signal ground is needed. For an
RS 485 network, the potential difference between the data-pair conductors
determines the signal without the ground being officially involved. The system may
operate without signal ground connection, but reliability and noise immunity may be
sacrificed as a result. Non-optically isolated links need a signal ground wire to keep
the mean voltage of each wire of a node with respect to signal ground (called
common-mode voltage) within the -7 to +12 volt range, in order to reduce noise,
transient currents and also emissions and disturbances.
bb The shields should be connected to the ground on both sides to ensure good
protection of RS 485 links, paying attention to the equipotentiality between the two
grounds if they are located in two completely different buildings. Electromagnetic-
compatibility and application requirements determine whether you need a shield. A
shield both prevents the coupling of external noise to the bus and limits emissions
from the bus. Generally connect the shield to a solid ground (normally the metal
frame around the system or subsystem) with a low impedance at one end and a
series RC network at the other end. This arrangement prevents the flow of DC
ground-loop currents in the shield. The consequences of connecting remote grounds
together must be considered. Only the impedance in the wire connecting the ground
limits the current that results from this voltage potential. RS 485 recommends using
a 100 Ohm resistor in series with signal ground path in order to limit ground currents.
bb Termination should only be used with high data rates and long wiring runs.
Termination is used to match the impedance of a node with the impedance of the
transmission line being used. When impedances are mismatched, the transmission
signal is not completely absorbed and part of it is reflected back into the transmission
line. Pre-polarisation prevents differential noise causing false frame detection along
the network.

Before starting your first connection check the two following points:

Verification of required equipment

Initial connection to the product is performed via a Web browser.
Equipment required for initial connection:
A PC.
Internet Explorer 6 for connection via the Web browser. Internet Explorer 5, 6 and 7
allow access to all the functionalities of the embedded Xflow software (this is not the
case for other browsers).
The universal iRIO-PC serial cable.
An Ethernet "crossover" cable (depending on the PC, it may be possible to use a
direct Ethernet cable).

Note: some of the following actions on the PC require an administrator account for the user.

Modbus addressing for the boards

Each acquisition board is a Modbus slave of the iRIO CPU board.
The device is supplied pre-configured. Modbus addressing of the boards is therefore
necessary only if you want to change the Modbus addresses (for example:
for RS 485 connection of a third-party device having the same address as one of the
boards).
The addresses are known thanks to the thumbwheels and switches on the various
iRIO modules. Please refer to "iRIO I/O boards" on page 200 of this document.
The iRIO boards will be automatically recognised by the software embedded in iRIO.

First connection to the embedded Xflow software

Xflow is remote management software embeddwed in iRIO. The software can be
accessed via a standard Web browser (HTTP protocol, communication taking place
via html pages) using one of the following connections:
bb the RS 232 serial communication port (Terminal)
bb the Ethernet port
bb a modem.

The connection procedure differs depending on your computers operating system.

a French version of Windows XP, the dialog box will be displayed in French.

bb Upload a configuration file

Once you make this choice, a message will appear while the file is uploaded
(sent to iRIO from the laptop), warning you that Xflow will restart to apply the new
configuration. To select the configuration file, click on the "browse" button.
Then click the big green "OK" button and wait.

Note: the current configuration is saved in a file called Xflow.wst.

bb Save the configuration only

This records the current configuration in the RAM (the power supply to this memory
is backed up by an internal battery).

bb Save configuration in flash memory

This is a way to help Xflow restart with a known configuration if it has been lost (for
instance, because of a major ESD (Electro Static Discharge))
This operation:
vv saves the current configuration in RAM
vv makes a backup of that configuration in its flash disk: a disk build on a flash
component that requires no power to retain its content.
If Xflow loses its configuration, it will start with this backup copy.
IMPORTANT: a power loss during the backup process can lead to permanent
corruption of the flash disk. At worst, Xflow will not be able to start.

If you want to start with the backup, just select "remove configuration file". This
choice will make Xflow stop, remove its entire configuration file then restart. If a
backup is found, Xflow will run with it.

bb Remove configuration files and historical data

This choice will make Xflow to stop, remove its entire current configuration file then
restart. If a backup is found (backup saved by Save configuration in flash
memory command), Xflow will run with it.
The following files will be removed:
vv configuration file: xflow.wst in the SRAM disk only
vv measurement file in the SRAM disk only
vv log file.

Note: Xflow will not remove the backup configuration as discussed in Save configuration in flash

Ethernet TCP/IP connection
If you have an EGX105Z or EGX100, you can read information from Modbus or
ZigBee devices. This section explains how to read the information from these
devices connected remotely through the Modbus Ethernet TCP/IP network.
There is no Auto-detection mode for Modbus Ethernet TCP/IP communication.

Follow these steps to add a Modbus or ZigBee product connected to a gateway:

1. Click on "Connection" (see configuration menu).
2. Click Ethernet_REM, Ethernet_EGX100 or Ethernet_EGX105Z (connection
linked to TCP).
3. Click on "add a peripheral".
4. Enter a Name.
5. In Type, select the product from the list (PM800, NSX-E, etc.).
6. Enter the address of your product in the Address field.

Note:
IMPORTANT: the product address can be the address of a Modbus product connected to the
EGX100, the address of a SIM6BZ or SIM10Z connected to the EGX105Z or the address of a
Modbus device connected to the SIM10Z in tunnelling mode.

7. Enter the IP address of the EGX100 or EGX105Z.

8. In "Force Modbus TCP" select "yes".

Add a variable for each information item you want to read:

8. Go to the Modbus device or ZigBee device created.
9. At the bottom of the page, click "add a variable - MULTIPLE".
10. Enter a variable name for each pre-defined information item (current, voltage,
power and energy information). For example: Ia, the current in phase 1 for a
PM800 series (see table below).
DB400976

11. Click on "Create".

Once the variables and peripherals linked to the EGX100 or EGX105Z have been
created, two parameter values have to be modified:
bb Delay of failure (ms): this parameter is applicable for all peripherals created. You
can modify it by opening the peripheral configuration. If the peripheral is connected
below an:
vv EGX100, the Delay of failure must be 2000 ms
vv EGX105Z, the Delay of failure must be 5000 ms
bb Refresh period (ms): this parameter is applicable for all variables created. You
can modify it by opening the variable configuration. If the variable is linked to a
peripheral connected to an:
vv EGX100, the Refresh period must be 1000 ms
vv EGX105Z, the Refresh period must be 2000 ms.

Note:
IMPORTANT: values from Modbus devices will be stored in iRIO only if they have a variable
name.
Each time you want to delete a device, you have to first delete all variables linked to this device,
otherwise you will get an error message.
In the same way as on the Modbus network, with the Ethernet connection, you can add other
Modbus products connected through the EGX100. In Type, select the product "PLC Modbus
TCP" (follow the same procedure as in described in MANUAL MODE in Peripherals: Equipment
on Logic/Analog Input/Outputs (see page 120).

Creating and sending a report to
StruxureWare Energy Online
Energy Online is a Schneider Electric energy solution that allows customers to
monitor, analyse, and manage their energy consumption. The web-based service is
hosted by Schneider Electric.

Energy monitoring devices are installed at the customer site and configured to send
data to Energy Online. Customers can then login to their Energy Online account to
access energy usage information via a public website.

iRIO connections to the Energy Online web site are used mainly when you want to
monitor multiple iRIOs connected at different sites. In this way, you can monitor
energy information from different iRIOs on the same web page.

The basic process for sending data to Energy Online is as follows:

bb meters are connected to the iRIO energy management controller
bb the meters transmit energy values to iRIO using Modbus (TCP or RTU) protocol or
via the logic inputs of iRIO cards or SIMs
bb iRIO records the energy values and then sends this information to the
Energy Online server using the internet or GSM connection
bb iRIO sends data via FTP

Note: to obtain an FTP address, login and password to send iRIO files, you will need to contact
your local Schneider Electric Sales Representative. Schneider Electric will provide the
Energy Online url, user name and password to access the Energy Online website.

Follow the steps below to create and send a report from iRIO to the Energy Online
database in order to be able to read your energy consumption on the Schneider
Electric website:
bb Step 1: Create accounts and meter names
bb Step 2: Create the FTP recipient
bb Step 3: Build the report

Step 1: Create accounts and meter names

You have to define all the areas (called accounts) where your meters are connected.
An account is a single building where you have one iRIO. You can have more than
one account if you have an EGX100 (or other iRIOs) connected in other buildings.
1. Go to the Configuration menu.
2. Click on "REM: parameters".
DB401368

3. Create the accounts and meter names that you need.

Note: the meter name is the name that you give to the meter (PM700, PM9C, Water meter, gas
meter) which reports the energy measured (for example: Account name: "Hotel_Chambery"
and Meter name: "Water_consumption, Floor1_power_consumed, etc...").

Step 3: Build the report

You can only send energy information with units of measure kWh, kvarh, kvah (for
electricity meter) and m3 (for gas and water meter) to Energy Online. The maximum
number of energy information measurements that you can send is 100 (or 100
variables of Xflow). For electricity meters, Energy Online converts kWh, kvarh and
kvah into power values for load control charts on the website.

Note: if you want to send other units of measure please contact your Schneider Electric office.

All information recorded in the report will be assigned a date and time set in iRIOs
clock. You can set this clock in the System Parameter web page (access from the
configuration menu via System parameter). For Winter/Summer time changes, you
have to reset the iRIO clock. iRIO will not modify automatically the date and time, it is
the configurators responsibility.

bb send an email
bb send a report
bb send a text message
bb display a message regarding loss of communication for a device or a threshold
for a value returned by a product (for example: maximum current limit).
This is the procedure to create an alarm.

1. Click on the Alarm sub-menu in the configuration menu.
2. Click on "add an alarm".
3. Enter the Name.
4. Select "ALARM" for File.
5. Select the Origin of the alarm:
Variable Alarm relating to a variable
Peripheral Alarm relating to a peripheral
Recipient Alarm relating to a destination
System System alarm (start-up, etc.)
According to your choice continue the procedure as follows for the corresponding
case.

Continuation of the procedure if you select Origin=Variable

(i.e. to create an alarm for a variable value)
6. For Reference, select the variable you want to control.
7. In the Report field, keep the default setting.
8. For Type, select the required control function:
Type Origin Description Associated parameters
<= Variable Alarm if the value of the variable is less than or Alarm threshold
equal to a threshold
>= Variable Alarm if the value of the variable is greater than Alarm threshold
or equal to a threshold
= Variable Alarm if the value of the variable is equal to a Alarm threshold or state
state or threshold (parameter to be chosen for
a logic variable)
Within range Variable Alarm if the value of the variable is within a Lower and upper threshold of the
limited range (limits included) range
Outside range Variable Alarm if the value of the variable is outside the Lower and upper threshold of the
range (limits not included) interval
Timer Variable Transmission of the variable's value at a set Call period. Time of next call
time
Discordance Variable Alarm if there is a difference between the value Discordance variable, absolute
of the "Reference" variable and that of deviation or relative deviation (in
the"Discordance" variable %) (absolute deviation has priority)
Different Variable Alarm if the value of the variable is different Threshold
from the threshold value
9. Enter the different levels of a value (threshold, hysteresis).

Note: Hysteresis is only for alarms relating to a variable. It is the difference to be added or
removed from the value to trigger a return to normal. This prevents the phenomenon of
fluctuation around the threshold value.
Example: you have configured a " > = " alarm with 20 as the threshold (the alarm is triggered
when the variable exceeds 20) and a hysteresis of 2. The return to normal will take place when
the value falls below 18.

10. Keep the default settings for the optional fields.

11. Click on "finish".

Note: this alarm can be used to read an alarm message on Xflow. Also you can send a text
message to a cell phone or an email regarding a specific value.

bb "Change of scale":

DB400980
Parameter descriptions:
vv "Keep the initial value": if you check "yes", the variable will be kept and a new
one will be created with the name you entered in the field "name of the new
variable"
vv "Multiplier": the coefficient to use to convert the variable. You can use the list or
enter you own value typed in the blank field next to the list.

Example of a "change of scale":

The customer would like to read analog information from a SIM10M in degrees (C).
He connects a PT100 to a Crouzet converter (cat no.: 88 950 153) and then
converter to input AI0 on the SIM10M. This SIM10M communicates with iRIO via the
Modbus network.

The value returned to iRIO from the SIM is in mV. This value changes according to
the temperature detected by the PT100. By default, iRIO displays the measurement
in mV. To display the result in C, the change of scale function can be used on the
variable that returns the analog value from AI0 of the SIM10M:

The Crouzet converter (cat. no.: 88 950 153) returns 0V for 0C and 10000 mV (or
10V) for 260 C. The mV to C linear conversion factor is therefore: 260/10 000 =
0.026.

1. C
 reate the unit of measure "C" in the "Units" sub menu of the Configuration
menu.
2. Go to the "variable" sub menu of the Configuration menu.
3. Select the variable linked to AI0 of SIM10.
4. Select "Convert this variable".
5. Select "change of scale".
6. Select "no" for "Keep the initial value" (i.e. do not store the intial variable).
7. In "Name of the new variable" enter a new name for the new variable.
8. Go to the "Other Coefficient" field and enter "0.026".
9. Select "C" for the new unit of measure.
10. Click on "OK".

Now the variable directly returns to a value in degrees (C) without displaying the
measured value in mV.

Installation and settings Load control
Create a temperature control area
Setting energy management and
monitoring functions

Description
We will now explain how to manage heating (for example: in meeting rooms when
they are occupied or empty) or carry out simple load control (for example lighting
control).

With this function, you divide your building up into different areas. An area can be a
group of rooms or different parts of the building. You then assign regulation rules to
each area for a typical week. The typical week is a weekly schedule that you create
(which will be used for all the weeks during the year) to enable regulation over the
period defined.

If required, within the schedule created (by typical week configuration), you can
define a reservation period (specific regulation when the room is occupied for a
period) and an exception period (for holidays, for example):
bb Reservation period: this is a period when you force the regulation even if your
typical week is activated.
bb Exception period: you can force regulation to another regulation order even if your
typical week is activated. An exception order has a higher priority than a reservation
or typical week order.

We will now describe the different steps to create different load control functions:
bb create a temperature control area
bb create a simple load control area
bb create a typical week for temperature or simple control
bb create a reservation (Optional)
bb create an exception period (Optional).

Add a temperature control area

1. Click on the Load control sub-menu of the Configuration menu.
2. Click on "area list"
3. Click on "add an area"
4. Enter Name and Comment
5. Click on "Continue"

1 Type of regulation inside temperature:

bb ON/OFF: the regulation is a series of ON/OFF control orders
bb Chrono-proportional: the regulation is smoothed over time
bb Air conditioning:function not applicable for this solution and for Configurator user

2 Temperature inside: choose which sensor, from the input device list, provides
the reference temperature for regulation. The regulation runs until the inside
temperature reaches one of the four levels selected (Boost, Comfort, Reduced or
Out of frost).

3 Temperature outside: choose which sensor, from the input device list, provides
the outdoor temperature.

4 Remote control heating: choose the variable corresponding to the logic output
controlling the heating equipment (it can be the logic output of a SIM or the iRIO
card).

5 Boost button (optional): you select the variable to be linked to a logic input of
the iRIO card or SIM logic input. When the input is ON, regulation is forced to heat up
the area. The purpose is to allow manual activation of your logic output according to
a logic input status. When the temperature level (boost order) or Boost time is
reached the boost command is disabled.
Boost time: Maximum duration of boost heating when the boost button is pressed. If
the boost temperature is reached before the end of the boost time, heating is
stopped. If not, you must press the button again to continue heating.

6 Consumption electric of area (optional): choose the electricity metering

device that monitors the energy of the area.

7 Hourly program: once the Typical week schedule is created, the program issued
to Typical configuration is written here (It will be defined on 143).

6. Click on "Continue".
7. Enter your different threshold values for Boost, Comfort, Reduced and Out of
frost orders (see note below). These values will be used for your regulation.
8. Click on "Finish".

Note: we suggest four different temperature threshold values:

b Boost order: the temperature to reach when the boost button is pressed.
b Comfort order: the temperature required when the area is occupied.
b Reduced order: the temperature to reached when the area is not used for a short period of
time.
b Out of frost order: a reduced temperature to be reached when the area is not used for a long
time period (set by default).

We call these thresholds "Comfort, Reduced and Out of frost" because most of the
time users need different regulation depending on the building configuration and how
the area is occupied.

For reservation (see 144), we will take into account only the temperature level
entered for reservation: the four main temperature thresholds (regulation orders) will
be disabled.

Create a reservation
A reservation is a period that forces regulation to a specific temperature value or a
value "0/1" (for simple load control) during your typical week. Current orders will not
be taken into account during a reservation period. For example, you can use the
reservation function to satisfy occupancy needs in a given area that are different
from those of the typical week schedule. The reservation period has a higher priority
than the typical week schedule.

To create a reservation period:

1. Go to the Load Control configuration menu.
2. Click on "add a new reservation".
3. Enter the Object of the reservation.
4. Select Date of Start and Date of end with Start hour and End hour.
5. In Periodic reservation, you can repeat this reservation each day, week or
month.
6. Select the area to which this reservation applies.
7. For each area, enter the temperature you want to reach for this reservation
(this will disable all the main thresholds (orders) entered in the area
configuration).

Create an exception period

An exception period is a period in your typical week in which you can force your
regulation to one of your orders (Comfort, Reduced, Out of frost for temperature
control or to a value for simple load control).
If a typical week reservation and exception period are created for the same date and
time period it is the exception period that controls the logic output because it has the
highest priority.

To create an exception period:

1. Go to area configuration.
2. Click on "Exception period list".
3. Click on "add an exception period".
4. Enter the Name of the period.
5. Select Date of Start and Date of end with Start hour and End hour.
6. Select repeat every year if you want to apply this exception period every year.
7. Select your Order (Comfort, out of frost or reduced for temperature or a value
"0/1" for simple load control).
Note: all data created in Xflow can be removed unless it is linked to other existing data. For
example, if we click on the "delete area" link for an area with an associated schedule, it will not be
deleted from the database. Furthermore, data locked by the user cannot be deleted without first

 Installation and settings Tariffication
Setting energy management and
monitoring functions

The energy tariffs are different from one country to another or within a country but it
is generally based on tariff periods with different prices per KWh in each period. Then
there are Supplementary elements of tariff linked to parameters such as the peak
power demand.
The tariff management will simply provide the values of active and reactive energy
consumed per tariff period, expressed in kWh or in currency. The expression in
currency only takes into account the price of energy during the tariff period: it doesnt
take into account penalties (such as power peak demand) or other specific
calculations.

The tariff metering feature is available through the configuration menu.

Before creating the tarrification the following Prerequisites are must:

bb 2 variables representing the energy inputs: 1 for the active energy consumption
and the other for the reactive consumption. This is really important as it is the entry
point for all data in tariff.
bb Those variables have to be connected to your energy device.
bb 1 variable (output) representing the energy cost of the current Time Slot.
bb 4 variables (outputs) representing the total active energy consumption for the
current month and for the current year (2 variables for data in kWh, 2 variables for
data in Currency(Optional).
bb 4 variables (outputs) representing the total reactive energy consumption for the
current month and for the current year (2 variables for data in kWh, 2 variables for
data in Currency (Optional).

User also would want to have the detail of the energy consumption for each timeslot
(in kWh or Currency).User can eventually create the variables (outputs)
need for this.
For a given timeslot, users have 4 energy variables entries:
bb active energy consumption (kWh)
bb reactive energy consumption (kWh)
bb active energy cost (currency)
bb reactive energy cost (currency).

Lets say that we want the first two weeks of July to have a different configuration.
The current July configuration is :
DB404676

And we would like to have the timeslot all day long during the first two weeks of July.
All you need to do is to add a new specific period by clicking the Add a specific

Now, the timeslot 2 will be considered for all hours of the first two weeks of July, days
of July.
Remaining will have the calendar configuration.

Configuration with External Signals

If you have chosen a configuration by digital inputs, you should have the knowledge
about the binary inputs and the combination between them for each tariff periods.
Prerequisites
You MUST at first create variable that are connected to those digital inputs, the
chosen names should be explicit enough to be easy to find through the tariff.
Configuration

As for the calendar configuration, you will first have to enter your timeslots.
Clicking on Add a timeslot button allow you to create new ones.
For this example, were going to create the same 3 timeslots as for the calendar
configuration and submit them by clicking on the create button. You should obtain
something like that:
DB404679

You are now on the main page. On top, you have all your current timeslots; you can
edit them, add new ones or suppress existing ones. The second part is dedicated to
the digital inputs, its precisely where you need to match the input to the variables.
Before creating any combination, you must first do this matching.

The variable on the left represents the least significant bit. For our example, lets say
we have 3 entries, just click on Select a variable to select the ones you previously
created. Finish this step by clicking on modify on the bottom-right of the second
panel. You should obtain something like this :
DB404680

To make sure everything went well, just check in the combination panel on the
bottom of the page that the three variable names are in the combination table column
titles.
Now you can interact with the last panel to add combination.
Combinations are here to represent the link between a combination of bits and a
timeslot. A timeslot can be represented by several combinations.
For example:
bb 0 0 0 -> Timeslot1
bb 0 0 1 -> Timeslot1
bb 0 1 0 -> Timeslot2
bb 0 1 1 -> Timeslot3
bb 1 0 0 -> Timeslot3.

As we see, you can make sure that every combination has an associated timeslot.
You can eventually add a period of validity for a combination by checking the
checkbox and choosing a date interval (hours if needed). It allows you to make sure
you match your need. For example, lets say that we want to create the combinations
from our previous example and that we want the combination 0 0 1 to represent the
timeslot 1 from January 1st to July and then the timeslot 2.
We create our combination by clicking on the Add a combination button.
Well validate all our combinations by clicking on the Create button.
We should obtain:
DB404681

As weve seen it, you can adapt your combinations to every situation you need.
Once you are done, you can run the configuration to begin metering.

Run the configuration

When you will finish the configuration of your Tariff page will show up a new section
where you will have the possibility to fill the energy variables (consumption and cost)
per timeslot (thats why you first need to enter the timeslots you need regarding your
type of configuration).This way, those variables will contain the energy data & cost
for each timeslot you need.

iRIO recipient status

Locked The recipient is locked; no calls can leave.

Redial waiting time There must be a waiting period before the recipient is
called again. The waiting time can be found in the
"Time" column.
Alarm sending The recipient could not be reached. The direction is
failure unavailable (blocked) for 1 hour. The waiting time
before the next sending attempt can be found in the
"Time" column.
Blacklisted The recipient is has been blacklisted. Calls can no
recipient longer be made in this direction. Manual re-enabling
is required by the user (by clicking on the recipient in
question and then on the "Re-validate this
recipient" button so that this direction becomes
operational again.

A recipient is said to be "unavailable" if it is no longer called to receive an alarm.

This unavailability may be temporary or permanent (blacklisted recipient ). In this
last case the user must intervene to "Re-validate this recipient". If a recipient is
unavailable (or blacklisted) the alarms waiting to be sent are transferred to the
backuprecipient (see alarm procedures chapter).
The following table presents the details of the various states that a recipient may
assume:
State Description
Blacklisted The recipient has been blacklisted . The operator MUST connect to the Xflow to
re-enable it manually so that alarms are sent to it once more. This state is reached
after 4* consecutive protocol failures or 4 (1) consecutive calls with a loss of carrier
signal.
Max. failures reached The recipient is unavailable for 1 hour. The operator has an hour in which to
connect to the Xflow to re-enable this recipient.
This state is reached after 4 consecutive instances of call failure or line busy.
Acknowledgement The recipient is unavailable for 1 hour. The operator has an hour in which to
failure connect to the Xflow to re-enable this recipient.
This state is reached after the sending of N acknowledgement attempts without the
alarm being effectively acknowledged by a user.
Acknowledgement waiting time The recipient is suspended for the acknowledgement waiting time until a user
acknowledges the alarm. After this time the alarm is again sent to the recipient the
number of times set in acknowledgement attempt(s) - 1.
Protocol failure The recipients configuration results in a protocol failure. The recipient is
suspended for 10 minutes before a new call attempt is made.
After 4*successive attempts resulting in protocol failures, the recipient is blacklisted
with the state blacklisted.
Line busy The recipients call results in a busy telephone line. The recipient is suspended for
5 minutes before a new attempt is made.
After 4* successive attempts resulting in a busy line the recipient is unavailable with
the state Max. failures reached.
Call failure All other cases of call failure.
The recipients call has failed. It is "suspended" for 2 minutes before another
attempt is made. After 4* consecutive failures the recipient is unavailable with the
state Max. failures reached.
Legal redial waiting time The recipients call is successful. A minimum time of 2* minutes between two
consecutive calls to the same recipient has been respected.
IMPORTANT: To be taken into account on alarm testing. There may not be 2
consecutive calls less than 2 minutes apart; a new call can be triggered before 2
minutes has passed by clicking on "Re-validate this recipient".
(1) Default values commonly accepted on Xflow (prevents repeated failed calls). For certain exceptional circumstances of use (private lines, etc), these values may
be modified.

iRIO variable status

Name Names the variable with a tag. Define a clear name allowing the unambiguous identifying of the variable for the rest of the
configuration process.
Choose a short name (12 characters maximum), without spaces, punctuation marks or characters representing an
operator in the calculation formulae.
By default the name is in the form VAR000xx.
IMPORTANT: Each name must be unique. No other variable, alarm, weekly programme or yearly programme must have the
same name, on pain of generating errors in the calculation formulae. Indeed these formulae use the names in their syntax.
State Variable locked The interrogating of this variable has been blocked by the user.

Faulty variable Impossible to communicate with the variable.Check the wiring and the state of the
associated link.

Variable in alarm mode The variable has been allocated to an alarm, which has been triggered (crossing of
threshold or alarm state).

Configuration error An inconsistency has been detected in the configuration of the variable.

Unrefreshed The variable was not refreshed during the previous cycle.
This state may be permanent if the physical saturation of the system is reached (too
many variables with higher priority (i.e. acquisition periods that are too short in
relation to the total number of variables)): the problem is eliminated by only entering
an acquisition period if this is necessary; if it is not sufficient the periods must be
adjusted.
This state may only be temporary if the variable belongs to a "slow" peripheral.

Variable referenced in at least To view all the formulae referencing this variable, just click on the link associated
one formula with this pictogram.

Control by formula disabled Allows the variable to be changed to manual control; stopping of automatic control
to force a value or carry out operating tests.

Formula compilation error The formula is incorrect (syntax, incorrect reference, etc).

Formula execution error The formula is correct, but an error occurred during its execution
(illegal calculation, etc).

State "Straton" variable This variable is used by the Straton application during execution.

Description Provides an extended description. Use a specific phrase describing the nature and content of the variable. The description
must be understandable by all the systems operators (31 characters maximum).
Peripheral Indicates the peripheral on which the variable will be read and/or written. The list contains the peripherals configured in the
previous chapter.
Special peripherals:
bb the virtual peripheral:
the variable is not physically read from a peripheral. Instead its value is calculated via a calculation formula.
bb the system peripheral:
the value of the variable is provided through system data from the Xflow. This data is not physically read from a peripheral but
corresponds to information internal to the Xflow software (very rarely necessary).
