2. What is Critical Systems Monitoring? • More than just power monitoring • More than building management • More than network management • It’s a total monitoring strategy! Networks Power Environmental

3. Examples of critical equipment UPS- Powerware, MGE, Mitsubishi, IPM, Liebert, APC PDU – Eaton, Liebert, PDI, United Power Switchgear / ATS – Eaton, Caterpillar, ASCO, GE, Russelectric Static Switches - Cyberex, Liebert, United Power Diesel generators - Caterpillar, Onan/Cummins, Detroit Diesel Air Conditioners / Chillers - Liebert, DataAire, Air Flow, York Power Quality Meters – Eaton, GE, Sq-D, Rochester Communications: SNMP, Modbus TCP, Web Browser

4. What do I need to know? - Power • Is there a power failure? • If there is a power failure, how wide spread is it? • Did the generator start? • Does the generator have enough fuel to run? • Did the transfer switch work? • Am I getting bad power from the utility? • Am I causing my own problems? • How much power am I consuming?

5. What do I need to know? - Environmental • Is there enough cooling? • Is the cooling correct? • Is one unit working harder than the rest? • Is the fire system armed and ready? • Is the leak detection armed and ready?

6. What do I need to know? - Networks • Is the network up? • Are my devices communicating? • Am I getting erroneous alarms? • Am I getting notified when alarms occur? • Am I getting meaningful data?

7. Sanity check • Are you currently monitoring? • Are you only looking at major alarms? • Did you have to use the bundled “free” monitoring that came with your equipment? • Did you have a major event in the last year and didn’t know how to respond to it? • Is one system or vendor claiming responsibility?

8. Vendor Communications and Software • Dry Contacts – Major Alarms • Voltage-free relays • Serial (RS-485) • MODBUS RTU • Ethernet Communications • SNMP • MODBUS TCP/IP • Web Browser (HTTP) • SMTP (Email) • System Software • Backward compatibility • Migration to web-based

9. Integration into other systems - BMS • Building Management Systems • Johnson Controls - Metasys • Siemens - Apogee • Honeywell – Excel • Automated Logic – WebCTRL • Suggested Protocols: • BACnet • Lonworks • Profibus

10. Integration into other systems - NMS • Network Management Systems • HP – HP OpenView • IBM – Tivoli • CA – Unicenter • Nagios – Open source • Suggested Protocols: • SNMP Polling • SNMP Traps

11. Things get complicated fast… In traditional U.S. Army slang dating back to the Second World War, a blivet was defined as "ten pounds of manure in a five pound bag," It was applied to an unmanageable situation, a crucial but substandard or damaged tool, or a self-important person.

12. Things to look out for • Are all your eggs in one basket? • Is the BMS or NMS really sending alerts from your critical equipment? • Are you getting the information you need? • Are you able to see things on your own computer? • Are you blocked into a corner? • No vendor is perfect…”he said she said”

13. Where do I start? • Check for device communication capabilities • Is anything connected to the device communications port? • Is it Ethernet or serial or alarm contacts? • What was provided with the equipment from the vendor? • Are you able to do this yourself?

14. “The” foundational protocols • IP- Internet Protocol (built for addressing & routing) • Those switches we talked about address & route • TCP/IP- Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol • Guaranteed packet delivery • Web surfing, file transfers, email… • Session oriented (think like a telephone call) • UDP/IP- Universal Datagram Protocol/Internet Protocol • Instant messaging, speech, streaming • Session-less (think like a baseball)

15. “S” is for simple, “P” is for protocol Remember the bookends: “S”imple and “P”rotocol • SNMP- Simple Network Management Protocol • SMTP- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol • SFTP- Simple File Transfer Protocol • SNTP- Simple Network Time Protocol • NTP- Network Time Protocol • FTP- File Transfer Protocol • DHCP- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol • POP3- Post Office Protocol [mate to SNMP] • HTTP- HyperText Transfer Protocol

16. Today’s world - I get my news online! Sounds Complicated – Where do I start! If it’s not easy to use, you won’t use it! Start by surfing the Web, everyone can do that………

17. Today’s world – My weather is online!

18. Today’s world - I shop online!

19. Today’s World - Your Critical Equipment Monitoring is Online!

20. Why would we want web browser monitoring? Because it’s easy to monitor with Web-Enabled! Lot’s of benefits…… No software to install on your system.No software to add to your computers.No computers to add to your system.No keys or licenses to maintain.No Graphics to create.No Data files to create. Easy access from any computer.Easy access from any location.Easy Data file access.Email notification.

21. A Web-based architecture allows a web browser to access information. Anywhere A Web-based Architecture Web-enabled 1

22. Why Power Management? Energy Consumption Power Quality Safety • Power Continuity

23. Why Measure? “If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it!”

24. 3 Fundamental Yardsticks • System Reliability • Am I OK? • Will I be OK tomorrow, and the next day…? • Energy Management- you and your Utility • Energy consumption, instantaneous demand, and Power factor penalties are a billable item • Power Quality • Interruptions • Transients • Surges • Sags • Swells • Frequency variations

25.
