Benefits of EcoStruxure™ Panel Server
Electrical Safety
Panel Server is an integral part of Schneider Electric’s continuous thermal monitoring application, helping reduce risk of electrical fires, increase people and assets protection. Implement the thermal monitoring of your electrical panel by connecting thermal and heat sensors to your Panel Server.
Power Availability
Electrical distribution monitoring and power event analysis help avoid unplanned downtime caused by electrical failure. Panel Server collects real-time data and alarms, presenting information through embedded webpages, making it available to edge control software or cloud-based applications and analytics for electrical system diagnostics. Use embedded webpages for first-level monitoring or monitor from your edge control system.
Optimize Energy Efficiency
Improve your facility’s energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption with energy usage analysis and performance tracking. Panel Server collects and shares energy data to help achieve your energy conservation initiatives. It is part of an energy data management system certified for compliance with ISO 50001, 50002, 50006 requirements.
Cybersecurity
Guarding your electrical assets and systems against cyber attacks is vital. Panel Server is an IEC 62443 compliant device and is central to the IEC 62443-3-3 SL1 certified EcoStruxure™ Power system. Use Cybersecurity Admin Expert to manage user accounts, define your cybersecurity policy and retrieve security logs.
EcoStruxure Panel Server gives you access to the information you need to protect, maximize and optimize your power system.
