InSite energy management system

Optimize energy flows, easily.

The InSite energy management system offers smart energy and load management to improve energy efficiency in both sub and final distribution.

Through the control unit, data is gathered from the field devices, that can then be accessed via the InSite web server or a 3rd party application.

  • Complete solution to optimize energy usage and to achieve full load management
  • Adapt the system to any application needs by mounting the plug-in expansion modules onto the compact control unit SCU200
  • Easily integrate the open system with EV chargers, PV systems, heat pumps, etc.

FAQ


How many expansion modules can be connected to one SCU200 control unit?

Each module has their own power consumption requirements, in general it should be possible to connect up to 5 expansion modules. This number can change depending on the number of connected devices downstream to one SCU200  and the power supply available: PS-1 or PS-2.

The following tool helps you calculate which power supply choose based on the power supplier: https://search.abb.com/library/Download.aspx?DocumentID=9AKK108469A6044&LanguageCode=en&DocumentPartId=&Action=Launch


What are the limitations on the number and type of devices that can be connected?

SCU200 control unit

SCU100 control unit

A port for the InSite bus to which you can wire up to 32 "points", where:

  • A CMS current sensor weighs 1 point
  • A DMxx I/O module weighs 4 points
  • An INS-S/H smart contact weighs 1 point

A port for the InSite bus to which you can wire up to 96 "points", where:

  • A CMS current sensor weighs 1 point
  • A DMxx I/O module weighs 4 points
  • An INS-S/H smart contact weighs 1 point

You can connect these three types of devices in any combination, as long as you don't exceed the point capacity

  • One Modbus RTU port to which you can connect up to 16 devices
  • An Ethernet-Modbus TCP port to which you can connect up to 16 devices

You can connect these three types of devices in any combination, as long as you don't exceed the point capacity

  • Between one Modbus RTU and Ethernet-Modbus TCP you can connect up to 16 devices

 


What configuration can be supported with only DC power supply to the SCU200?

    The DC adapter of SCU200 can support up to 18W, to calculate the power consumption of the configuration please use the following tool: Power Supply calculator 1.xlsx, all the configurations with power requirements less than 18W can be supplied solely by DC. The DC adapter of SCU200 can support up to 18W, to calculate the power consumption of the configuration please use the following tool: Power Supply calculator 1.xlsx, 
    All the configurations with power requirements less than 18W can be supplied solely by DC. 

How many widgets and dashboards can be created on the SCU200 webserver?

An unlimited number of widgets, dashboards, and automations can be created, though excessive automations may slow down the response time. 

How many Modbus TCP clients can be integrated into SCU200?

With firmware version 1.3, up to 32 Modbus TCP clients can be integrated. 

Where is the Rest API documentation?

It is available in the user manual.

Can SCU200 export data via Modbus RTU?

No, only via Modbus TCP. 

How to choose between PS-1 or PS-2 module?

Use the tool available on the web server to determine this. 

How many SCU200 slave units can be added to a main SCU200?

Up to 12 SCU200 slaves can be added, with data exchange possible between main and slave units via Rest API.

How can the SCU200 configuration be exported?

The SCU200 configuration can be exported, including created widgets and automations. Files are encrypted and transferable but not viewable on computers.

How can the SD card be used on SCU200?

The SD card can be used for historical data storage, configuration export/import, or report downloads. When used for historical storage, it cannot be used for other functions, and it will be encrypted. 

Does SCU200 have a Modbus Map?

The SCU200 has a dynamic Modbus map based on integrated devices and can be downloaded on the InSite web server (System Setup>Communication>Modbus).

Can another SCU200 be integrated as a Modbus RTU / TCP slave?

Yes, with the integrated SCU200 providing a dynamic Modbus map.
