The eSite Web interface is accessed on site via a laptop or a smartphone using Wifi or LAN cable, see Site Commissioning on how to connect to Wifi. The interface provides the user with an overview of the status of the eSite Modular system and active alarms. It also offers possibilities to configure the system, update controller softwares and download backup data.
From the front page, which displays an overview of the most important system information, tabs with more detailed information about various system parts are accessed. An example of the view on the eSite Web front page is shown in Figure 4.1. Click the labels on the menu bar to access the detailed information sections and to configure the system.
The eSite Web front page contains the following information about the specific eSite Modular system.
eSite Web supports two user levels, 'Operator' and 'Admin'. Each user requires a unique user name and a password. Default passwords are provided by eSite Power Systems. Passwords may only be changed by an 'Admin' user.
The Battery menu provides the information in the table below. For further information about operating the batteries, please refer to the reference Batteries section.
The eSite Modular system supports operation of up to two (2) gensets connected simultaneously. The configured gensets are visible under the Genset tab. The Genset tab provides the information shown in the table below. For further information about Gensets, read the reference section Genset(s).
Information from all connected solar converters are displayed under the Solar menu. The Solar menu provides the information shown in the table below. For further information about solar arrays, read the reference in section Solar management.
The Grid tab provides the information shown in the table below. For further information about Grid read the reference in section Grid
The Alarm tab displays any active alarms on site. For a full list of alarms with descriptions and recommended actions, see section Alarm list. The eSite Web Alarm menu provides information about Active alarms and the time of activation for each alarm.
The eSite Web 'Graphs' page provides the graphs given in the table below. Enter the number of days to display in the graphs and click Submit. The default graphs present data for a period of one day.
The graphs show plots of commonly used system data for a selected period of time in order to facilitate on-site troubleshooting and interpreting alarms. The example in Figure 4.2 shows the temperature data for a period of ten (10) days.
The About menu provides the information shown in the table below.
If a modem is installed , the modem signal strength is displayed as an RSSI classification as follows: 0-10 (Poor), 11-14 (OK), 15-19 (Good), 20-30 (Excellent). If there is an error with the signal, it is shown under this menu.
Under the 'Settings' tab, all user settings required for the eSite Modular system and its associated systems are managed. Current settings and values are visible in the column 'Current value'. To update settings and values, enter the new information in the 'Set' column and click 'Save' to confirm the update. The 'Save' button must be clicked for each configuration. The 'Settings' tab is divided into subsections according to the shortcut table below (please click to find relevant configuration parameters) and Figure 4.3.
Site commissioning
Note
Some settings are optional and will not be available if the associated option is not installed.
In this section, the user may set the name, location and time of the eSite Modular system.
In this section, parameters for connecting the eSite RMC to a specific eSite Tools server are set.
Use this configuration menu when updating the I/O settings. For more information about I/O see I/O screw terminals where the connection is made.
The eSite RMC front interface includes 20 Digital Input relay ports with configurable functionality, primarily used for triggering various events when the connected input relay has tripped. The specific functionality of each Digital Input port is configurable from here.
The eSite RMC front interface includes 4 Analogue Input ports with configurable functionality, that currently supports use of 0-10 V fuel sensors for fuel monitoring. The specific functionality of each Analogue Input port is configurable from here.
The eSite RMC front interface includes 10 Digital output ports with configurable functionality. Currently supported functions for Digital Output ports are Genset start commands and start/stop of the Cabinet Cooling equipment. The specific functionality of each Digital Output port is configurable from here.
From here, it is possible to individually configure the parameters of the Steinhart equation for thyristor temperature conversion for each temperature sensor.
In this section, the genset settings can be updated. All gensets connected to the eSite Modular system are visible here, labelled Genset 1 and Genset 2. Click the respective genset name to configure.
This section is also used to update the Night Silence and UPS mode settings.
Cabinet Cooling can be configured in two different modes, see table below. The digital output relay need to be configured to 'Cabinet Cooling', see I/O Configuration
In this section, the Fuel monitoring settings can be managed. Up to two (2) fuel tanks with dedicated fuel sensors can be installed. The eSite RMC supports different types of fuel sensors. Click on the respective tanks (Tank 1 and Tank 2) to configure their tank and sensor properties. A fuel sensor with an analogue signal output can be connected to an Analogue Input on the I/O screw terminals. The measuring range of the Analogue Input is 0 – 10 V. Note that the eSite RMC can also read fuel data from the genset panel if a fuel sensor is integrated with the genset. See section Genset Management.
Settings for the individual tenant current measurements are managed from here.
In this section, the Battery settings can be managed. For custom battery configuration, see below.
Note
The following battery parameters apply only for installed lead-acid batteries.
Note
The following battery parameters apply only for installed Li-ion batteries.
LVD settings are managed from here.
The Modbus communication functionality enables third party systems to communicate with the eSite RMC. In this section, the Modbus settings are configured.
In this section, system updates, downloading of backup data and uploading if configuration data can be performed.
