E31E Series

Split-Core Panelboard Monitoring System

Product Overview

The E31E Series panelboard monitoring system is designed to measure the current, voltage, and energy consumption of up to 92 circuits (84 branch circuits, 2 3-phase mains, 2 neutrals), enabling users to monitor two panelboards or an entire data center PDU with a single product. It increases the board’s current monitoring capability by combining the functions of two boards into one device.

The E31E consists of a data acquisition module, up to four current sensor adapter boards, and up to 84 split-core branch current sensors (50A, 100A, or 200A), with eight auxiliary inputs. Each conductor passes through the appropriate branch current sensor before terminating at the breaker. Each sensor transmits the current data to the data acquisition board. The E31E measures both current and power for the mains and branch circuits. The E31E can easily accommodate dierent panel congurations, including any combination of multi-phase breaker positions, voltage phase mapping, and breaker sizes. To congure the E31E for operation, download the E3x Conguration Tool and the E3x Commissioning Guide from www.veris.com.

Data is transmitted via ethernet with Modbus TCP, BACnet IP or SNMP protocol, or via RS-485 with Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP protocols. Some protocols can be used simultaneously, and the ethernet protocols all support access by multiple masters. Each data acquisition board requires two Modbus addresses, one for each set of 42 current sensors, and four auxiliary inputs. Data is updated roughly every two seconds. When a circuit exceeds the userdened thresholds, the E31E activates the alarm indicators. The communication interfaces and protocols require some conguration at the time of installation.

Data Outputs

The E31E provides several types of measurements that give a comprehensive view of power consumption for every monitored load on the panel:

• Real-time measurements: a live and up-to-date view of present power levels and the factors that aect them.

• Demand measurements: averages of values measured over a specied time interval. The time interval (typically 15

minutes) can be set from 10 seconds to more than a day. The demand calculation can be congured to use single intervals or the sliding average of up to 6 sub-intervals. Demand measurements are useful for tracking or graphing load levels over time to correlate with total energy consumption.

• Historic maximum measurements: these measurements store the largest value recorded for a specic measurement since the last time they were cleared. They are useful for identifying peak levels critical to equipment sizing or demand limits in utility agreements.

• Accumulated energy measurements: ongoing totals of cumulative energy used since the last time the value was cleared. Energy values provide the informational basis for billing, cost allocation, carbon oset, BTU equivalent calculations, and other applications of overall energy use.

• Energy snapshots: energy totals that only change when the demand intervals are updated. They are samples of the free-running energy accumulators at the end of each demand interval, as congured by the user. These provide energy readings that are easily correlated to the demand values to simplify the tasks of sub-billing and cost allocation.

• Alarms: provide a warning of excessively high or low current on each branch and aux channel. The user can set two high-level and two low-level thresholds, and a delay time for latching alarms. Alarms are reported as both non-latched events and latched events. Non-latching alarms are active while the current exceeds the threshold, but go inactive if the current returns to a level within the specic thresholds. Latching alarms become active when the current exceeds the threshold for a time period greater than the specied delay and remain active until they are cleared remotely. Alarm status can be polled via any protocol. Via BACnet, Subscribe_COV can be used to generate alarm notications. Via SNMP, alarms drive SNMP event notications.

Advanced Features - The E31E supports a number of of advanced features. Some are always active, and others are congured manually via Modbus register 62017, BACnet object AV164, or SNMP MIB variable “spanels/panel1/p1Conguration/p1Setup/ p1UserDenedSettings” (OID .1.3.6.1 .4.1.40845.1.30.1.1.6.3.4.0). For models with 42 channels or more, these features are congured independently for each panel.

• Logical Circuit support: The E31E can be congured to map any set of 1, 2 or 3 channels that are adjacent in the panel to a logical circuit that provides accurate multi-phase measurement totals. Map these logical circuits by writing the desired logical circuit number into a set of registers/data objects provided for each branch and aux channel (per panel). The channels assigned to each logical circuit must be adjacent in the panel (usually used for multi-phase breakers), but there are no limitations on where those adjacent channels are aligned in the panel (any position where a multi-phase breaker can be installed). This functionality is always active, but a user selection aects the how the data can be accessed via Modbus. Measurement data via Modbus for logical circuits is presented in two ways, arranged either by logical circuit number (looks more like a collection of individual meters) or by measurement type (arranged similar to the single-phase data section of the point map).

• Legacy point map or alternate logical circuit point map: The E31E can be congured to select a preferred version of the Modbus registers in the address range 4000 to 9999. If enabled (default), the logical circuits by measurement type is active. Otherwise, the legacy point maps for 2-phase and 3-phase breakers used in older E3x models is active. The logical circuits functionality can also be accessed via the “Logical Circuits by Circuit” section of the point map (address range 10000 to 45000), regardless of the state of this selection.

• Phase angle measurements: The E31E measures the phase angle of every voltage and current input and presents these measurements (in degrees) in additional data registers/objects. These values are used to verify that current inputs are assigned to the proper voltage phases and to help determine how power factor variations are inuenced by current phase changes vs. harmonic distortion. Phase angle measurements are instantaneous and always active.

• User CT phase assignment: In the default mode, the E31E assigns each channel to the corresponding phase that most 3-phase panels implement, so that the user does not have worry about it. The user can opt to replace this selfassignment paradigm with a mode that allows explicit specication of the phase assignment for each channel. The explicit assignments set by the user are stored by the E31E in non-volatile memory.

• Phase angle reference: The E31E measures the phase angle of every current and voltage input. The user can select whether the phase angles are stated relative to an absolute reference (the phase angle of voltage input V1) or relative to the voltage phase assigned to that specic current input channel.

Data Outputs (cont.)

• Signed power: Users can congure the E31E to report power as a signed value indicating whether the power is currently being delivered (imported from the grid) or received (exported to the grid) for channels with generation sources or bi-directional (regenerative) loads. When signed power is disabled, the energy accumulators include all energy measured, regardless of direction. When signed power is enabled, the energy accumulators only include all energy delivered (imported from the grid).

• Signed power fac tor: By default the E31E reports power factor as an unsigned value. The user can set it to report as a signed value, where the sign indicates whether the current phase angle leads or lags the corresponding voltage phase.

• Demand/snapshot time interval source: The E31E oers two mechanisms for driving the demand/snapshot time interval, an interval timer or an RTC (real-time clock). The legacy mode (default) uses an interval timer that does not need to be set to an absolute time. When using the interval timer the demand/snapshot interval can be set from 10 to 32767 seconds (over 9 hours). An alternate mode utilizes an RTC set to a specic date and time to synchronize the results with a larger system. The RTC must rst be set in order to run and capture demand values and energy snapshots. When power is interrupted, the RTC resets to a default date and time and must be set again in order to run. When using the RTC, the demand/snapshot interval can be set from 10 to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

4. Mechanically secure the RS-485 cable where it enters the electrical panel.

5. If using Modbus RTU or BACnet MS/TP protocol, connect a serial cable(s) from the RS-485 loop to the serial connector on the E31E. Connect all RS-485 devices in a daisy-chain, and properly terminate the chain. Two sets of connections are provided to simplify daisy-chain connections and enable retention of each wire. Follow all applicable wiring and termination connection guidelines for the standard in use. Note that while both the the Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP standards identify requirements for RS-485 line polarization/bias and termination, the value and placement of these resistors varies for each standard. The E31E does not implement any RS-485 line polarization/bias or termination internally. For the RS-485 cable, use shielded, twisted-pair wire, such as Belden 1120A, that is voltage-rated for the installation. The shield is not internally connected to Ear th Ground. Connect the shield to Earth Ground somewhere on the RS-485 bus (single point connection only).

Gateway Conﬁguration (cont.)

Using the GUI to Set the Conﬁguration Parameters for the Communication Protocols

Access the GUI according the instructions in the “Accessing the Graphical User Interface (GUI)” section.

The home screen on the GUI provides elds for conguration of the E31E. The E31E has four primary modes of operation, each of which support a dierent combination of protocols. Each option eld has a Submit but ton to the right. When changing the value in any eld, click Submit to store the new value. The GUI prompts the user to restart the system. If multiple values are changed, it is easiest to submit all changes and restart only once when nished with the whole screen. To restart, click the System Restart button in the row at the bottom of the screen. The restart takes several seconds, during which the server may lose its connection. Messages appear at the top of the screen indicating current status, but do not perform any actions. Simply allow the tool to complete the restart cycle.

The rst selec tion in the GUI is Operating_Mode, which has two choices:

1. Locked: used for all normal product operation. It is provided as a tool for high-level technical support. The gateway retains its current prole conguration when powered.

2. Discovery mode (default): deletes proles and rediscovers them when the device is powered again. The results are the same, unless the prole conguration is intentionally altered. Prole selection and discovery are especially important when using BACnet or SNMP protocols. For normal operation, always use discovery mode.

The second selection in the GUI is Protocol_Mode, used to select the combination of protocols the produc t communicates with. The E31E supports ve protocols, some of which can operate simultaneously. The table below shows what protocols are supported in each mode.

Protocol Mode Primary Protocol Ethernet Protocol RS-485 Protocol

1 BACnet MS/TP Modbus TCP BACnet MS/TP

2 BACnet IP BACnet IP/Modbus TCP Modbus RTU

3 SNMP SNMP/Modbus TCP Modbus RTU

4 Modbus Modbus TCP Modbus RTU

To select a primary protocol mode, enter the corresponding number into the text eld adjacent to the Primary Protocol option and click the Submit button to the left of the text eld. A prompt appears at the top of the screen instructing the user to restart the system. When nished, the screen refreshes itself with the appropriate elds for the selected mode.

The next GUI selection, in any protocol mode, is the Upstream_Baud rate selection. If you have selected BACnet MS/TP (mode 1) as the primary protocol mode, this value sets the MS/TP baud rate. If you have selected modes 2 or 3 as the primary protocol mode, you may not be using the RS-485 interface at all. If so, this setting can be ignored.

If you have selected BACnet IP, SNMP or Modbus mode, the next selection is Modbus_Parity, which sets the parit y of the upstream serial connection. If using Modbus RTU protocol, set this to match your Modbus master. If not, ignore this eld.

Gateway Conﬁguration (cont.)

The following sections show the eld selections (with factory default values) specic to each of the four Protocol_Modes.

1. BACnet MS/TP mode

The rst three options are discussed previously.

The DeviceID_Oset parameter is used to assign Device_IDs on power-up or on restar t until they have been overwritten via BACnet. Enter a dierent value here and click submit. The new value is rst used at the next power-up or system restart. Valid Device_ID numbers range from 1 to 4194303. Since the numbers assigned during discovery are the sum of the Oset and the Modbus address (which can be any value from 1-255), the Oset values entered in the GUI must be no larger than 4194055.

The E31E gateway creates a BACnet virtual router and separate BACnet devices for each 42-channel meter panel behind this virtual router, allowing the devices to be discoverable and independently accessed via BACnet, even if the virtual router is connec ted by MS/TP, using a single MAC address. To use this product with MS/TP, the BACnet system must support the discovery and use of a BACnet router on the MS/TP trunk and any devices beyond it. This virtual router creates an exclusive BACnet network on which the meter’s BACnet devices reside. This network must have a BACnet network number that is dierent from any other networks in the entire BACnet enterprise. When multiple E31E products are added anywhere in the enterprise, each one must have a unique network number. Failure to set an exclusive value in this eld causes communication conicts in the BACnet system.

Enter a non-conicting value here and click submit. Valid network numbers range from 1 to 65534; if other values are entered, the network number defaults to 5. The new value is rst used at the next power-up or system restart. If using an external BACnet router to connect the E31E as an MS/TP device, it is recommended that the router also be restarted af ter the E31E has completed discovery, when the network number is changed.

Gateway Conﬁguration (cont.)

The next eld for the BACnet MS/TP protocol mode is the MSTP_Max_Master, which allows this value to be set prior to using BACnet software to access the E31E. The default value of 127 works regardless of the addresses the MS/TP network uses, but selecting a lower value may optimize the network. Do not set this value lower than the highest address on the network. To set this value via BACnet, write to the Max_Master property of the device object for the E31E’s virtual router.

The nal eld is the MSTP_MAC_Addr, which sets the MAC address for the virtual router. The E31E panel(s) are devices on the internal BACnet network and are not directly addressable as MAC addresses on the MS/TP network.

2. BACnet IP mode

BACnet IP mode uses the same DeviceID_Oset and Virt_Router_Net parameters described above for BACnet MS/TP mode. One additional parameter, BACnet_IP_Port, is used to set the UDP port. Most BACnet systems use the default por t (47808 decimal, 0xBAC0 hex) that is recommended in the BACnet standard as the only UDP port. Some large systems need to segment the enterprise and use more than port. If so, enter the number of the port you need to use to access this device. BACnet IP mode does not use MSTP_Max_Master or MSTP_MAC_Addr.

BACnet IP mode adds another eld called BBMD_Enable. See the section BBMD Support for a full description of how to enable and use BBMD support.

3. SNMP mode

SNMP mode uses two unique parameters. The SNMP_Community string is used to control access to the device. Whatever value entered must be used in the MIB browser or SNMP access software to communicate with this device.

The last parameter, SNMP_Notif_IP is used to set the IP address of the client that used to receive SNMP event notications, such as alarms.

Operating the E31E

Restart the E31E by using the button at the bottom of the GUI or by cycling the power. It takes about 30 seconds to initialize completely and be ready for external communication.

Gateway Conﬁguration (cont.)

BACnet Network Management – Important Steps to Avoid Conﬂicts

BACnet conguration uses two default settings that might need to be changed, depending on the application.

a. Virtual router network ID number. Every logical network segment (IP subnet, MS/TP trunk, etc.) in an entire system must

have a (16-bit) network ID number that is unique from all other BACnet networks in the enterprise. The BACnet network administrator assigns this network ID so that no two ID numbers conict (whether using BACnet/IP or MS/TP). Within each

segment, every device is physically identied by the combination of its 8-bit MAC address and the 16-bit network ID number.

To support multiple meter panels (panel 1 and panel 2 are separate) with a single gateway, the E31E creates a virtual BACnet router that presents multiple BACnet devices using a single (its own) MS/TP MAC address. Each E31E must have its own (internal) network ID, and it creates a device object for itself and one for each Modbus address discovered.

The factory default network address is 50 (decimal). If that number is already in use in the system, assign a unique address using the graphical user interface (GUI) on the built-in web server (this requires an ethernet connection to a web browser; see BACnet/IP Setup section for instructions on changing conguration settings using the GUI). Valid network numbers range from 1 to 65534; if other values are entered, the network number defaults to 5.

b. Device_ID Oﬀset. Every BACnet device must have a BACnet Device_ID number that is unique throughout the entire enterprise.

Since the E31E presents every Modbus meter as a BACnet device, each connected meter that has a Modbus address must have a BACnet Device_ID.

By default, each device discovered receives a Device_ID number that is the sum of an oset value (default is 50000) and the Modbus address of the device. If these Device_ID numbers cause a conict with existing devices in the system, or if the system includes multiple E31E Series, change the Device_ID numbers before connecting the E 31E to the system. This can be managed one of two ways:

i. Connect to the E 31E directly (oine from the system) with the devices (meters). After the E31E discovers the devices and assigns their default ID numbers, the user can choose new Device_ID values and write these to each device using BACnet software. Subsequent discoveries will not overwrite these values with defaults even if the E31E is then set to Discovery mode.

ii. Use the GUI on the built-in web server to modify the oset value used to calculate default Device_IDs in the discovery process (this requires an ethernet connection to a web browser; see BACnet/IP Setup section for instructions on changing conguration settings using the GUI). The E31E retains this oset value and uses it to assign Device_ID numbers every time power is cycled if the E 31E is in Discovery mode. Valid Device_ID numbers range from 1 to 4194303. Since the numbers assigned during discovery are the sum of the Oset and the Modbus address (which can be any value from 1-255), any Oset values entered in the GUI must be less than 4194055.

General BACnet Programming Information

The E31E consists of a BACnet virtual router and one or two 42-channel branch circuit meters. The BACnet virtual router has its own device object and an internal BACnet network. The branch circuit monitors have their own device objects that are logical devices on the network internal to (beneath) the virtual router. It is critical that the network number of the virtual router’s internal network be dierent than any other network number in your entire BACnet system. The network number is set to 50 at the factory, but can be changed in the GUI or by writing to the Present_Value of the AV2 data object associated with that device. Changes to the network number do not take aect until the E31E is re-started, either from the GUI or by cycling the power.

The default Device ID of the virtual router is the Device_Oset parameter, which is set to 5000 at the factory, but can be changed in the GUI or by writing to Present_Value of the the AV1 data object associated with that device. Changes to the network number do not take aect until the E31E is re-started, either from the GUI or by cycling the power. The default Device IDs are numbered to consecutively follow the Device ID of the virtual router (e.g. if the Device_Oset parameter is 50000, the virtual router has a Device_ID of 50000, the branch circuit monitor called Panel 1 has a Device_ID of 50001 and the branch circuit monitor called Panel 2 (if present) has a Device_ID of 50002.

All Device_IDs are writable. Once a device’s Object_Identier is overwritten, changes to the ID Oset no longer aect that Object_Identier, even in Discovery mode. Make further changes to the value by writing the Object_Identier property.

The default Object_Name property value of each device object is an abbreviated name of the meter series discovered with an underscore and the Modbus address of the meter appended to it. The Object_Name is a writable property. Once a device’s Object_Name is overwritten, the Object_Name does not revert to the initial default, even in Discovery mode. Make further changes to the value by writing the Object_name property.

The E31E supports Subscribe_COV, with default COV increment values assigned as shown in the data object tables. If these values are not appropriate for a specic application, write them as needed when they are subscribed. On subsequent power cycles, no subscriptions are ac tive and the COV increments return to their default values.

With few exceptions, any data values written to AV objects are accepted (without error) by the data object and passed through to the corresponding Modbus register. There is no direct indication via the BACnet protocol if invalid values are rejected. Af ter an invalid value is written to the Present_Value of an AV, subsequent reads of that property return the new (invalid) value until the next time the E31E refreshes its data (this may take several seconds).

BBMD Support

When the E31E is in BACnet IP mode, it can be congured as a BBMD device by entering “BBMD” in the Enable BBMD Support eld in the GUI, adding devices to a comma separated value text le named bdt.ini, and loading it onto the device. The example below shows the syntax required for the bdt.ini le. All lines beginning with two for ward slashes are interpreted as comments. Use exactly one line per device added, separated by commas (no spaces). The le must include an entr y (line) for each BBMD device in the BAcnet enterprise, including the E31E itself. Note: the default gateway address in the network setup must be correct for BBMD support to operate correctly. Once edited, upload the btd.ini le to the gateway through the GUI. Click the <Diagnostics and Debugging> button in the lower right corner of the GUI and follow the folder tree under Navigation to the following folder: “Veris Industries E3x Series Gateway/Setup/File Transfer.” Select the “General” tab (this is impor tant - using the wrong tab can overwrite critical les). Click the <Browse> button and select your bdt.ini le. Then click <Submit>. The GUI quickly indicates “The le was updated successfully.” Click the <System Restart> button, click <OK> on the conrmation dialog and wait for the gateway to reinitialize (takes about 30 seconds). BBMD changes are made by uploading a new btd.ini le. After setting the GUI to enable BBMD support and transferring a new or revised bdt.ini le, restart the E31E to load the le. BBMD support can be disabled in the GUI by entering “-” (a hyphen) in the Enable BBMD Supprt led in the GUI.

General SNMP Programming Information

The E31E can be congured to support the SNMP V2c protocol over ethernet. The SNMP community string and the IP address for the client receiving SNMP V2c event notications can be set via the GUI. MIB les are available for download at http://www.veris. com/SNMP.aspx to enable accessing the E31E from an MIB browser.

The E31E OID structure organizes the data under two “panels” representing the two breaker panels that can be monitored by a fully populated E31E. Panel 1 corresponds to the CT strips connected to the “Panel 1A” and “Panel 1B” connectors and to the data set under Modbus address 1 or BACnet device identied as Node_1 in the GUI. Panel 2 corresponds to the CT strips connected to the “Panel 2A” and “Panel 2B” connectors and to the data set under Modbus address 2 or BACnet device identied as Node_2 in the GUI.

For each panel, data is arranged under six tree branches.

• The Conguration branch contains all writable conguration parameters.

• The Alarms branch contains all the alarm notication traps, the global alarm status registers and counters and tables

of the alarm status indicators.

• The Voltage Inputs branch contains all data measurements pertaining to the voltage inputs.

• The Auxiliary Inputs branch contains all data measurements pertaining to the aux inputs other than voltage-related.

• The Branch Inputs branch contains all data measurements to the branch inputs in table format.

• The Flex Circuits branch contains all data measurements to the logical meter summaries in table format.
