Safety Information

▪ It is advisable to read all the Safety

Information, all the time before trying to Install,
Operate, Service or Maintain it.
▪ Electrical equipment should be installed,
operated, serviced and maintained only by
qualified personnel.
▪ Work with facility IT System Administrators to
ensure that the system adheres to the site-
specific cybersecurity policies.
Refer to Official Technical Guides and
documentation related to the version installed.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, serious injury, or equipment damage.

EcoSUI Bus Bar Coloring
The main purpose of TopoEngine module is to compute dynamically the electrical topology of an
electrical network.

The module is fed with:

- The static topology configuration (including all the conducting equipment)
- The electrical node definition (corresponding to the interconnection point between conduction equipments)
- The electrical state of the conducting equipment (energized/not energized for sources or voltage value, open/close
for switches, …)
- The voltage level whom conducting equipment belongs to.

This feature is based on a dedicated ring running a topological engine.

The topological engine that will import data from an xml file :
TopoEngineConf.xml

This feature needs also another ring for acquisition of datapoints used.

Ring TOPO - configuration
Create ring from example installed in C:\MCIS\Examples

Step 1 : Upate Ring.ini

Type = TOPO
Enabled = <PC name>

Step 2 : update TopoEngineConf.xml :

contains the list of electrical nodes and their primary electrical devices associated.

It contains
Nodes
Datapoints
conducting equipments

Ring TOPO – configuration with xls tool
Generation of TopoEngineConf xml file :
To generate this file on complex project use the topoEcoSUI v1.2.xlsm excel file
(in Ring_Example.zip in sub-directory BusbarColoring).

Complete only tabs;

“SignalList”
“Equipements”

They are needed to create the TopoEngineConf.xml.

The tab “Nodes” is generated after the “Extract Nodes” action.

(Note: refer to Application note for information that each of these objects need )

Define Topology nodes - example
Node 0 is always Ground
Node 1 is the source

Node 101 connects Q8 to Q0

Node 102 connects Q0 to Q1 and Q2

Node 1000 is BB1

Node 2000 is BB2

Step 3:
Update busbarcoloring.ini file
ColorOrigin:
Voltagelevel : color defined per voltage level
Source : color defined per source
This file contains the color definition for states at each voltagelevel.
At least one voltage level defined with all states needed or one source path
(depends on ColorOrigin).

Step 4:
Update topoparams.ini file

This file contains the setting used to set up the behaviour of the module.

Ring Result
For each node defined in the configuration step, two datapoints will be added:
one will be a MV (integer)
one will be a String.

The MV (Color) will take the value of the color to be displayed coded as an integer
translating directly the hexadecimal representation of the color.

The String (Sources) datapoint will give directly the different sources connected to the node.
