CONTINUOUS THERMAL MONITORING

Reduce Risk of Electrical Fires Due to Poor Connections

in Critical Electrical Equipment (1/2)

CONTEXT OF APPLICATION
1 One of the leading causes of electrical fires in low and medium voltage installations is faulty power connections of cables,
busbars, withdrawable circuit breakers, in particular when the connections are made on site.
A faulty power connection may lead to an increase of its electrical contact resistance which induces a thermal runaway
leading, in the worst case, to destruction of switchgear and severe injury to the operator.
Increase of contact resistance can result from:
• loose connections due to improper installation or maintenance (improper tightening torque, connection loosening
due to vibrations),

2 • damaged surface (due to corrosion, excessive pressure, excessive friction).

A common remedy is provided by periodic thermal surveys which are manual, onerous and only identify issues
on a periodic basis.

Problem to Solve
3
The Facility Manager needs to:
• Detect thermal runaways before they lead to electrical fires
• Take action on faulty connections
• Cut down on periodic thermal survey costs

4
Purpose of Continuous
Thermal Monitoring Application
Early detection of faulty connections
• Monitor the temperature of busbar, cable, transformer and
withdrawable circuit breaker connections
• Detect temperature deviations from normal operating conditions
before they result in equipment failure
Connection temperature monitoring
Provide temperature alarming and reporting for fast response
• Send pre-alerts and alerts in case of abnormal temperature rise
• Enable easy reporting of the thermal status of the electrical
installation

Replace periodic thermographic inspections

• Continuous thermal monitoring is more cost effective in the
long-run than infrared thermographic surveys

are brought on line, old equipment is being upgraded…
Capacity of the electrical distribution infrastructure has to evolve supplying these changing environments while not exceeding
the rating of electrical distribution equipment.
This is a problem for circuit breakers, UPSs, generators, ATSs, transformers, capacitor banks, bus bars, conductors, fuses, etc.
Often times, exceeding the rated capacity means nuisance trips, but it can also result in overheating or fires.

2
Problem to Solve
The Facility Manager needs to:
• Understand the capacity needs of the electrical distribution
infrastructure supplying expansions or modifications of
the facility environment
• Upgrade the facility while not exceeding the rated capacity
3 of equipment, and mitigating potential risks to the electrical
infrastructure (e.g. Nuisance trips, overheating, fires)

BACK-UP POWER TESTING

Help Ensure Reliability and Availability of Back-Up Power

Systems with Proper Testing

CONTEXT OF APPLICATION
Critical buildings such as hospitals and data centers rely on emergency power systems to supply the facility with power
1
during an interruption of the utility incomer(s). During an interruption, power is transferred from the utility supply to the
alternate power source using automatic transfer switch(es) (ATS).
In fact, according to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), back-up power systems fail to start 20% to 30% of the time.
Common causes include starter battery failure, low fuel levels, wet-stacking, controls in wrong state, etc.

2
Problem to Solve
The Facility Manager needs to:
• Ensure the reliability and availability of back-up power supply
systems in the event of unexpected power outages
• Save time, improve productivity and ensure accuracy of testing
process and documentation per standards or manufacturer
recommendations 3

BREAKER SETTINGS MONITORING

Control the Protection Settings of the Electrical Installation

CONTEXT OF APPLICATION
1 An installation is designed with specific breaker settings, calculated to optimize the protection of the installation.
However, throughout the lifecycle of the installation, these settings may not be applied correctly or may be modified
(for example during maintenance, product replacement, because of nuisance tripping…).
An incorrect setting may lead to:
• Nuisance tripping if the threshold is too low.
• The tripping of a head circuit breaker instead of the local circuit breaker if the selectivity is ineffective.
• Device destruction, fire outbreak and even people harm if the coordination between products is not correct.
2
Problem to Solve
The Facility Manager needs to:
• Be confident that electrical protection devices are able to fulfill
their function
• Prevent issues due to inappropriate or poorly coordinated
circuit breaker settings
3
Purpose of Breaker Settings Monitoring
Application
Manually or automatically generate a report summarizing
settings of LV circuit breakers
• After commissioning, to compare with specified settings
4 • Periodically, to detect inappropriate setting modifications
This report is used to help identify settings or co-ordination issues
and to find the root cause of any settings or co-ordination problems.

Outputs of the Application

POWER EVENT ANALYSIS

Analyse the Root Causes of Power Events (1/2)

CONTEXT OF APPLICATION
Various power events can affect your electrical installation:
1
• Motor startup sequences leading to voltage sags and current overloads
• Transient events such as capacitor switching, surge impulses
• Unsuccessful power transfers caused by incorrect ATS operation
• And more...

Introduction

When designing a digital power distribution system, there are certain elements that should be considered
1 to ensure the highest possible degree of compatibility, data integrity and reliability.

These considerations are important because they can help reduce the overall integration risk, improve
compatibility, simplify installation and commissioning, and optimize cybersecurity of the system.

This part discusses the following system design constraints and their relevancy to the implementation
of EcoStruxure™ Power applications in Part 3:
• Communications
• Data recording and time-stamping
2 • Data processing
• Data integration/interoperability between systems
• Cybersecurity

Communications

EcoStruxure™ Communication Protocols

EcoStruxure™ Power digital platform uses open communications protocols to aggregate data from connected
1
products installed in MV/LV equipment, metering and other sensors through open protocols. It includes:
• Modbus serial through Ethernet gateways
• Modbus TCP/IP
• Industry standard wireless communications
• and other standard protocols used in the electrical distribution domain such as IEC 61850

The preferred method of system and device communications is direct Ethernet. 2

Modern, sophisticated power system devices have rich data types that can generate large amounts of data,
such as power quality data, which requires a high bandwidth connection to the monitoring software.

For devices with serial communication only, the connection is made via gateways through
small serial loops with, typically, no more than eight devices.

3
EcoStruxure™ Native Communications Drivers
EcoStruxure™ Power supports three types of communications drivers:
• Native drivers for EcoStruxure™ Power devices
• Legacy device drivers allowing modernization of the systems with a step-by-step approach based on the
lifecycle of the assets
• 3rd party device drivers using open protocols, such as Modbus, DNP3, IEC61850, BACnet, OPC DA, AE 4
and UA can be easily created to capture real-time data using purpose-built productivity tools in
EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert and Power SCADA Operation

Data Recording and Time-Stamping (1/3)

Data Recording Options

1
In the EcoStruxureTM Power digital platform, data recording can occur at various levels of the architecture.
Connected products, depending on their level of sophistication, or Edge Control can record data as follows:
• All analog and event data recorded and time-stamped on board
• Alarm and event data only is recorded and time-stamped on-board
• No onboard recording, real-time data only. Data recording and time-stamping is done by a data logger
or Edge Control.
2
Recommended Level of Data Recording
The criticality of the application and the required time-accuracy determines which level of data recording
and time-stamping is recommended.

For high criticality applications, for example, recording and time stamping of all data for event reconstruction
3 through sequence of events analysis should be done on-board the device.

To maintain accurate time in the digital electrical distribution system, the connected products in the system
must be time synchronized. There are several time synchronization mechanisms available with varying
levels of accuracy.

These time synchronization methods are summarized below.

Time Synchronization via Modbus from Edge Control Software 2

This is the most common method of time synchronization in use today. It is the easiest and least expensive
to deploy. However, the limitation of this method is the achievable time accuracy of +/- 1s. Often, the resulting
accuracy is better than this, but realistically, +/- 1s is the commonly accepted limit.

Precision Time Protocol (PTP) - Embedded in some EcoStruxureTM Power Products

The Power Profile requires all Ethernet switches to be IEEE 1588-compliant to serve as “transparent clocks”
and adjust PTP packets “on the fly.” This is required to achieve 1-µsec accuracy but unnecessary for
less-demanding applications such as Sequence of Events Recording (SER). For these, Cyber Sciences
3
proposes the “Simple PTP” (SPTP) Profile, based on the IEEE 1588 Default Profile.

This “Goldilocks solution” is just right for commercial/industrial EPMS, ensuring the required accuracy without
imposing unnecessary restrictions or changes to the Ethernet data network. With SPTP, no special 1588 Ethernet
switches are required. [Reference: Cyber Sciences SER System Design Guide]

IRIG-B – Requires External GPS Receiver/Clock

IRIG-B typically provides 1ms accuracy and is widely used by electric utilities and others, especially in the US.
4
When applying IRIG-B, the number and type of devices to be synchronized, the protocols supported, and the
distances involved all affect system architecture; therefore, each system must be engineered individually.

The first step may be to confirm that all devices support the same version of IRIG-B, for example: unmodulated
IRIG-B (also known as 5V DC Level Shift, or DCLS), with or without the year (IEEE 1344 extensions), etc.

The IRIG-B signal is wired to a general-purpose or dedicated digital input, configured to decode IRIG-B.
The IRIG-B source (e.g., GPS receiver/clock) may be capable of synchronizing a small number of devices in
series (no more than 10 recommended) but a larger number of devices may require multiple circuits, repeaters
and/or isolation means. Careful consideration is needed of clock specs, cable distances and device limitations.
In some cases, it may be necessary to add appropriate termination impedance to each IRIG-B signal to eliminate
signal reflections. [CyberSciences IRIG-B Time Code Standard]

Network Time Protocol (NTP) - Embedded in some EcoStruxure™ Power Products

Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a highly robust protocol, widely deployed throughout the Internet. Well tested over
the years, it is generally regarded as the state of the art in distributed time synchronization protocols for unreliable
networks. It can reduce synchronization offsets to times of the order of a few milliseconds over the public
Internet, and to sub-millisecond levels over local area networks.

A simplified version of the NTP protocol, SNTP, can also be used as a pure single-shot stateless master-slave
synchronization protocol, but lacks the sophisticated features of NTP, and thus has much lower performance
and reliability levels. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_synchronization]

Depending on the connected device and the synchronization mechanism, different levels of time accuracy
can be achieved (refer to the chart below).

Data Processing

Data Processing Levels

1
Data processing in EcoStruxureTM Power is done at three possible levels:
• On-board devices
• In Edge Control software
• In cloud-based applications
Typically, all devices perform some level of on-board processing. The remaining processing is done either in Edge
Control or in cloud-based applications. More sophisticated devices typically perform more of the data processing
on-board versus in Edge Control. 2

On-board devices Data Processing

Some EcoStruxure™ connected devices (e.g. PowerLogic ION9000, PM8000, Masterpact MTZ, etc.) provide
significant on-board processing for sophisticated functionality such as Power Quality event detection and
recording, and Disturbance Direction Detection. These features require high speed detection and processing
which otherwise would not be possible over software to device communications.
3

Edge Control Software Data Processing

Secondary data processing is found in Ecostruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert and Power SCADA Operation.
For features such as the reporting module, data processing is performed at the Edge Control level.
It provides post processing of data for evaluation against regulatory standards or for converting data into easy 4
to understand information.

Cloud-Based Applications Data Processing

Cloud-based data processing provides similar benefits to those found in Edge Control. It evaluates data using
predictive asset maintenance algorithms and converts data into easy to understand information.

Data Integration & Interoperability between Systems

Introduction
1
Data integration and interoperability in the EcoStruxure™ Power digital system occurs at the Edge Control level –
EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert and/or EcoStruxure™ Power SCADA Operation.

Integration with Other Schneider Electric EcoStruxureTM Systems

2 For seamless integration with other EcoStruxure™ systems such as EcoStruxure™ Building Operation,
EcoStruxure™ Web Services are used.

Additionally, for data integration in other Schneider Electric software, a database Extract, Transform & Load (ETL)
tool may be used (e.g. EcoStruxure™ Data Center Operation or Power Advisor).

Finally, to enable remote services with EcoStruxure™ Asset Advisor, a dedicated cloud connector is available in
EcoStruxureTM Power Monitoring Expert and Power SCADA Operation.

3
Interoperability with Third Party Systems
For interoperability with third party systems, EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert and Power SCADA Operation
support OPC DA client and server functionality.

OPC is a set of open standards for connectivity and interoperability of industrial automation and the enterprise
4 system. OPC provides a bridge between Windows based applications and process control hardware, thereby
eliminating the need for proprietary or custom interfaces and drivers for the various data types and sources
residing in the corporate information network.

Additionally, EcoStruxureTM Power SCADA Operation provides extended OPC AE server and OPC UA client
functionality.

Why Consider Cybersecurity while Designing an Electrical architecture

1
The demands of modern IoT applications increase the complexity of systems infrastructure and put additional
pressure on IT and OT security. As the frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks increase, operations must
leverage industry standards to achieve consistent protection.

The challenges posed in operational technology are burgeoning regulations for cyber security, common protocols
being increasingly exploited, the rapid expansion of connected devices and growing numbers of attack surfaces.
Because of this, operational technology security has 3 main priorities – availability, integrity and confidentiality.

First, operational systems, in large buildings and critical facilities in particular, require high availability of the 2
applications or processes they support as a top priority. While availability of power is of utmost important,
ensuring high integrity data upon which decisions are made is also essential in the digital age.
Finally, confidentiality of data that could be used to determine trade secrets based on operational data,
is the third leg of the OT security triad.

See the following blog post for more background:

For Operational Technology (OT), Make Cyber Resiliency and Reliability of Operational Process and Assets
Your Top Priority. 3

IEC 62443 Standard

The IEC 62443 standard provides a comprehensive ecosystem of cyber security requirements for different actors
involved in the lifecycle of an electrical distribution or industrial control system. This involves a specific focus on
the people, processes and technology required for these systems.

EcoStruxure™ Power Commitment to IEC 62443

1
With EcoStruxure™ Power, we are fully committed to IEC 62443. This is a commitment as well as a journey,
since cyber security requires an ongoing operational activity to maintain a high level of security.

As part of EcoStruxureTM Power, Schneider Electric promotes the use of products which are developed using
the IEC 62443-4-1 secure development lifecycle process.

Schneider Electric, with its Cyber Security Service offer, can assess and help reduce Cyber Security risks inherent
in a legacy installation and provide advice on how to modernize and improve the security of a facility’s electrical
2 distribution system.

Alignment with IEC 2700x

With IEC 62443, EcoStruxureTM Power is also aligned with IEC 2700x for specifying an Information Security
Management System (ISMS) used in most organizations for securing their IT infrastructure.
3
IEC 62443 Security Levels
As well, it includes the concept of security assurance levels. The specification defines a series of requirements
designed to bring system security to one of the four defined levels. A summary of each level coupled with a
characterization of the type of attacker the security level is designed to address is presented in the table below:
4
Security Level Target Skills Motivation Means Resources
SL1 Casual or No Attack Skills Mistakes Non-intentional Individual
coincidental
violations
SL2 Cybercrime, Generic Low Simple Low
Hacker (Isolated Individual)
SL3 Hacktivist, ICS Specific Moderate Sophisticated Moderate
Terrorist (Attack) (Hacker Group)
SL4 Nation State ICS Specific High Sophisticated Extended

Cybersecurity (3/3)

Risk-Based Approach
1
IEC 62443 follows a risk based approach and can be aligned with the methodology used for functional safety
based on IEC 61508. Selection of security assurance levels should be chosen based on a risk assessment
of the infrastructure and operations, as seen in the example risk matrix from below:

LIKELIHOOD
Remote Unlikely Possible Likely Certain
Trivial SL-0 SL-1 SL-1 SL-1 SL-1
2

Minor SL-1 SL-1 SL-2 SL-2 SL-2

The following white paper provides details to learn more about the practical implementation of these
security levels:
Practical Overview of Implementing IEC62443 Security Levels in Industrial Control Applications

EcoStruxureTM Power recommends a “Defense in Depth” approach to system security. Defense in depth
is the coordinated use of security countermeasures to protect the integrity of information assets in a network.
This ensures that if one layer of security is compromised, other layers of security are still capable of protecting
the most critical operations and infrastructure. 4

connected products such as ION7650/7550) and some models of the PM5000 (PM53xx
and PM55xx) can record onboard input data, energy measurements as well as connected
equipment states.
For other connected products (Easergy P3, Masterpact MTZ, lower end models of
PM5000) measurements are performed by the connected products and recorded
by EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert or Power SCADA Operation.

Time-stamping Requirements for Backup Generator & ATS*

Due to the accuracy requirements of the Backup Power (EPSS***) Testing Reports, EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring
it is necessary to have all status data recorded with high time precision. Expert 9.0 System Guide
7EN02-0411-00 09/2018
Depending on jurisdiction, this is typically better than +/- 100 ms.
When using power meters to monitor Generator and ATS*, a custom framework is required
to record all required data. This framework is described in detail in the Backup Power
(EPSS*) Module in the EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert System Guide.
The following meters support this framework: PowerLogic ION9000 and PM8000
(and legacy ION7650 and ION7550).
Alternatively, this can be performed by the Cyber Sciences SER 3200/2408. Cyber Sciences
SER 3200 / 2408
Time-stamping Requirements for UPS**
For UPS Test Reports, time accuracy is not as critical, but should still be within +/- 1 s.

To have the full view of device recording and time-stamping capabilities, refer to chart 2.2
in Part 2, page 46.

TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
To have a consistent chronological view of all events which happen throughout the
facility, date and time should be accurately distributed to connected products and other
Management Systems. TimeSync Clock

Time synchronization can be performed through various technologies (PTP, NTP, SNTP…).
An external master clock is required and may be connected to a GPS antenna to reach the
expected time precision. 2
DATA PROCESSING
For the Backup Generator & ATS*
Data processing consists of:
• Analyzing the status information from the Generator(s) and ATSs* and compiling the run
history table which details each and every backup power run, including start, stop, and
transfer time 3
• Among others, the following indicators are extracted from available data:
--split of emergency / non-emergency running hours as an annual total
--running hours broken out into categories for Test, Power Outage, Load Shedding
• For EPSS*** conformance tests, all success criteria are examined to provide a
comprehensive fail/pass status

For the UPS**

Data processing depends on whether the UPS equipment has auto-test capabilities: 4
• If it has auto-test capabilities, (e.g.: Galaxy VM, Galaxy VX, and MGE 5500 UPS),
the module will gather all data relative to the auto-test (final status of the test and status
for each step)
• If not, the module compares the battery voltage waveform during a transfer to a
reference signature waveform.
These calculations are performed by the Backup Power Management Module of
EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert or Power SCADA Operation with Advanced
Reporting & Dashboards.

DATA RECORDING AND TIME-STAMPING
For highly critical applications, optimal chronological correlation is achieved by having a
time accuracy of +/- 1 ms (possible using PTP or GPS time synchronization).
For less critical applications, a time accuracy of +/- 100ms is adequate (with NTP and SNTP).
Advanced meters such as the PowerLogic ION9000, PM8000 (as well as legacy
EcoStruxure™
connected products such as PowerLogic ION7650/7550) and some models of the Power Monitoring Expert
PowerLogic PM5000 (PM53xx and PM55xx) can timestamp and record onboard input
2 data.
For other connected products (Easergy P3, Masterpact MTZ, lower end models of
PowerLogic PM5000) steady state disturbances are measured by the connected products
and recorded by EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert or Power SCADA Operation with
Advanced Reporting & Dashboards. If data from these connected products require more EcoStruxure™
Power SCADA Operation
accurate time-stamping, they should be relayed through another connected products with
a better accuracy (like PowerLogic ION9000 power quality meter or M580 PLC) through
digital or analog I/Os.
3 When acquiring data from other systems, timestamps are also be imported through OPC
or ETL.

4 TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
To have a consistent chronological view of all events which happen throughout the
facility, date and time should be accurately distributed to connected products and other
Management Systems.
Time synchronization can be performed through various technologies (PTP, NTP, SNTP...). TimeSync Clock
An external master clock is required and may be connected to a GPS antenna to reach the
expected time precision.

DATA PROCESSING
Smart Clustering
Data processing consists of:
• Consolidation of alarms, events, waveforms, status changes and other corresponding
data from all connected products in chronological views
• Smart grouping of related data to help identify the root cause of incidents
The Smart clustering is performed by EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert or Power
SCADA Operation with Advanced Reporting & Dashboards.

* The EcoStruxure™ Extract Transform Load (ETL) Engine is a companion application for EcoStruxure™
Power Monitoring Expert and Power SCADA Operation. It is used to extract historian data from one application
(Schneider Electric or 3rd party), then perform a transformation on that data so it can be loaded into another
application.

Data from Utilities, Genset & UPS

• Electrical measurements: power sources are monitored to launch automatic
reconfigurations or to help operators decide about relevant actions to restore power
• Status and diagnostic information: if any source or network control operations involve the
Utility incomers, the Genset(s) or UPS(s) in the facility, it is key to understand their status Easergy Easergy
P3 Sepam 20
and access to diagnostic information to run proper automatic or manual reconfiguration
sequences
For the utility incomer and for the genset, these measurements are collected by protection
relays such as the Easergy P3 or Sepam (legacy), or directly from the genset controller.
For UPS, the measurements can be performed by Galaxy VM/VX and legacy Galaxy 5000. Masterpact Compact

INPUTS (cont.)
Data from Essential and Critical Load
In critical facilities, the preservation of essential loads such as motors, machines or other
equipment is of utmost importance. Therefore, the following data is key: Acti9 TeSys
• Electrical measurements iC60 D

• Status and diagnostic information: it is necessary to understand the status and

diagnostic information of these essential loads prior to stopping or re-starting them 2
These data can be collected from final distribution devices (Acti9 or Tesys ranges) or Modicon Modicon
M580 M340
through digital and analog inputs of controllers (Modicon M340 or M580 PAC).

User Controls
In case the automation system halted (due to improper operating conditions) or for the
purpose of maintenance, the user is able to issue external control actions (both from
EcoStruxure™ Power SCADA Operation or device front panel), such as reset of controls
or open/close orders.
EcoStruxure™
3
Power SCADA Operation

DATA PROCESSING
For this Source and Network Control application, most data processing occurs before the
data recording and time-stamping. This is because Source and Network control relies on
automation and mostly occurs without user intervention.
These automated actions are monitored and recorded with time-stamps in Edge
Control software (EcoStruxure™ Power SCADA Operation) for a better understanding 4
of reconfiguration sequences and potential system issues due to improper operating
conditions (e.g.: Device in local mode, tripped circuit breaker…).
User intervention (user controls) may be necessary in case of halted automation, manual
load control or maintenance activities. In this case, data processing consists of logging all
user actions with date and time as well as their user ID for traceability purposes.

DATA RECORDING AND TIME-STAMPING

All Source and Network Control activities are recorded and timestamped for post mortem
analysis, traceability and auditing.
For critical applications, a timestamp accuracy of +/- 10 ms is recommended. Easergy Masterpact
P3 MTZ
To achieve this, the measurements and events are recorded and timestamped on board with Micrologic X

smart equipment such as Easergy P3, Modicon M580 and M340, etc.
For less critical applications, +/- 100 ms may be adequate.
To have the full view of device recording and time-stamping capabilities, refer to chart 2.2 Modicon Modicon
M580 M340
in Part 2, page 46.

TIME SYNCHRONIZATION
To have a consistent chronological view of all events which happen throughout the
facility, date and time should be accurately distributed to connected products and other
Management Systems.
Time synchronization can be performed through various technologies (PTP, NTP, SNTP….). TimeSync Clock
An external master clock is required and may be connected to a GPS antenna to reach the
expected time precision.

Create Model report
This report is used to create a model of a facility or process
compared to various energy drivers such as outside temperature,
production volumes, etc. After the model has been created,
this report will not need to be run unless a new model needs
to be created.
Prerequisites: To use this report, the data for the independent variables

in the EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert database for the reporting period.
Create Model report

Use Model report

The Use Model report shows the expected consumption of a facility
or process, based on a model created with the Create Model report.
The report shows a graphical representation of the modeled data,
the actually measured data, and the delta between the two. It also
includes tables with numeric data. The objective is to compare
4 expected consumption to actual consumption in order to:
• identify unexpected changes in consumption related to abnormal
load use or load malfunction
• identify actual savings as a result of energy conservation
measures Use Model report: comparison between expected and actual energy
consumption
This report can be generated and displayed on-demand or
automatically generated and sent by e-mail.
Note: The report is not limited to energy consumption modeling. It can be used to
model any quantity that is dependent on drivers, for example power factor based
on power demand.
Prerequisites: To use this report, at least one model must have been defined for
the facility or process. For forecasted energy/power consumption, the forecast of
the independent variables (driver data) must be available in the EcoStruxure™
Power Monitoring Expert database for the reporting period.
