Real-time monitoring: implementation of devices and sensors to allow for monitoring of device status, voltage, current, temperature and power values. This collected data can be stored internally with local PLC and HMI options, sent out to a site management system, or collected remotely by Schneider’s cloud monitoring system.
Remote control and automation: the ability to control circuit breakers and other switchgear components remotely, allowing for a safe distance when large equipment is switched. This also allows for integrated automation for either supply failure or predefined criteria
Diagnostics and predictive maintenance: advanced analytics and diagnostic equipment that help identify potential issues before they lead to failures, allowing for proactive maintenance and reducing downtime. A standard for many customers has been to include wireless thermal monitoring to indicate potential device issues before they become dangerous or expensive
Communication capabilities: integration with communication networks (such as SCADA systems) to share data with centralised control systems, enabling coordinated operation and comprehensive management of the electrical network. Offered network options include Ethernet/IP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU, Canbus, Bacnet. (Other network configurations and combinations are available)
Enhanced safety features: built-in safety mechanisms that protect both the equipment and personnel, such as arc flash detection, fault isolation, and automated shutdown procedures, mechanical and electrical interlocks
Intelligent devices and features can apply to all our control systems and allow us to offer a complete intelligent solution to whatever panel configuration is required.
