SmartX AS-B server

Introduction

At the core of an EcoStruxure BMS is a SmartX server, such as the SmartX AS-B server. The SmartX AS-B server performs key functionality, such as control logic, trend logging, and alarm supervision, provides built-in I/O, and supports communication and connectivity to the field buses. The distributed intelligence of the EcoStruxure BMS helps ensure fault tolerance against detected faults and provides a fully featured user interface through WorkStation and WebStation.

Feature

The SmartX AS-B server is a powerful device with built-in power supply and I/O. The SmartX AS-B server can act as a standalone server using its built-in I/O and also monitor and manage field bus devices. In a small installation, the embedded SmartX AS-B server acts as a standalone server, mounted in a small footprint. In medium and large installations, functionality is distributed over multiple SmartX servers that communicate over TCP/IP.

Communications hub

Capable of coordinating traffic from above and below its location, the SmartX AS-B server can deliver data directly to you or to other servers throughout the site. The SmartX AS-B server can run multiple control programs, manage built-in I/O, alarms, and users, handle scheduling and logging, and communicate using a variety of protocols. Because of this, most parts of the system function autonomously and continue to run as a whole even if communication is interrupted or individual EcoStruxure BMS servers or devices go offline.

Models

The SmartX AS-B server comes in four models with different I/O point count and I/O mix.

SmartX AS-B servers with “H” in the product name are equipped with a display for output override.

SmartX AS-B servers with 36 I/O points have the same small footprint as SmartX AS-B servers with 24 I/O points.

Versatile and flexible mix of I/O points

The SmartX AS-B server offers a mix of I/O point types that match a wide variety of HVAC applications. Most of the I/O points are universal inputs/outputs, which are highly flexible and can be configured as either inputs or outputs.

SmartX AS-B servers with 24 I/O points have the following types:

  • 12 Universal inputs/outputs, Ua type

  • 4 Universal inputs/outputs, Ub type

  • 4 Digital inputs

  • 4 Relay outputs

SmartX AS-B servers with 36 I/O points have the following types:

  • 20 Universal inputs/outputs, Ua type

  • 8 Universal inputs/outputs, Ub type

  • 4 Triac outputs

  • 4 Relay outputs

Universal inputs/outputs

The universal inputs/outputs are ideal for any mix of temperature, pressure, flow, status points, and similar point types in a building control system.

The universal inputs/outputs can be configured to read several different types of inputs:

  • Digital

  • Counter

  • Supervised

  • Voltage

  • Current (Ub only)

  • Temperature

  • Resistive

  • 2-Wire RTD temperature

  • 2-Wire RTD resistive

As counter inputs, the universal inputs/outputs are commonly used in energy metering applications. As RTD inputs, they are ideal for temperature points in a building control system. As supervised inputs, they are used for security applications where it is critical to know whether or not a wire has been cut or shorted. These events provide a separate indication of alarms and events in the system.

For all analog inputs, maximum and minimum levels can be defined to automatically detect over-range and under-range values.

The universal inputs/outputs are capable of supporting analog outputs of type voltage outputs. Therefore, the universal inputs/outputs support a wide range of devices, such as actuators.

Digital inputs

The digital inputs can be used for cost effective sensing of multiple dry contact digital inputs in applications, such as equipment status monitoring or alarm point monitoring. As counter inputs, digital inputs are commonly used in energy metering applications.

Relay outputs

The relay outputs support digital Form A point types. The Form A relays are designed for direct load applications.

Triac outputs

The triac outputs can be used in many applications to switch 24 VAC on or off for external loads such as actuators, relays, or indicators. Triacs are silent and do not suffer from relay contact wear.

I/O expansion

For applications that require more I/O resources, the SmartX IP Controller – IP-IO modules provide a versatile mix of I/O points for any application. For more information, see the SmartX IP Controller – IP-IO Specification Sheet.

Manual override function

SmartX AS-B servers with “H” in the product name are equipped with an LCD display and keys to support manual override control of analog and digital outputs. This function allows you to manually override the outputs for testing, commissioning, and maintenance of equipment.

The override status is readable through EcoStruxure Building Operation WorkStation and WebStation, enabling precise monitoring and more reliable control.

Built-in power supply

The device has a built-in power supply designed to accommodate 24 VAC or 24 VDC input power. The main AC/DC input (L/+ and N/-) is galvanically isolated from the electronics. This removes the risk of damage due to earth currents and permits the input power to be wired without concern for polarity matching.

Variety of connectivity options

A SmartX AS-B server has numerous ports that enable it to communicate with a wide range of protocols, devices, and servers.

A SmartX AS-B server has the following ports:

  • Two 10/100 Ethernet ports

  • One RS-485 port

  • One USB host port

  • One USB device port

The first Ethernet port is dedicated to the site network. The second Ethernet port is fully configurable. The second port can be configured to extend the site network so that various devices and clients can be connected. Another option is to configure the second port as a separate network, which means that the port can host a private network. If the second port is not used, it can be disabled.

The USB device port allows you to upgrade and interact with the SmartX AS-B server using Device Administrator.

Using a USB Ethernet adapter, you can connect a laptop PC to the USB host port and run Device Administrator, WorkStation, and WebStation to upgrade, configure, and access the SmartX AS-B server.

Authentication and permissions

An EcoStruxure BMS provides a powerful permission system that is easy to manage, flexible, and adapts to all kinds of system sizes. The permission system provides a high standard of authentication. Authentication is done against the built-in user account management system or against Windows Active Directory Domains. The built-in account management system allows an administrator to establish password policies that meet stringent cybersecurity guidelines. When Windows Active Directory is used, the administration costs are lower because users do not have to be managed in multiple directories.

WorkStation/WebStation interface

Through any client, the user experience is similar regardless of which EcoStruxure BMS server the user is logged on to. The user can log directly on to a SmartX AS-B server to engineer, commission, supervise, and monitor the SmartX AS-B server and its built-in I/O as well as its attached field bus devices. See the WorkStation and WebStation specification sheets for additional information.

Open building protocol support

One of the cornerstones of the EcoStruxure BMS is support for open standards. The SmartX AS-B server can natively communicate with two of the most popular standards for buildings: BACnet and Modbus.

Native BTL-listed BACnet support

A SmartX AS-B server communicates directly to BACnet/IP and BACnet MS/TP networks. The SmartX AS-B servers are BTL-listed as BACnet Building Controllers (B-BC), the most advanced BACnet Device Profile. This capability provides access to an extensive range of BACnet devices from Schneider Electric and other vendors. See the BTL Product Catalog for up-to-date details on BTL listed firmware revisions on BACnet International's home page. A SmartX AS-B server can also serve as a BACnet Broadcast Management Device (BBMD) to facilitate BACnet systems that span multiple IP networks.

Native Modbus support

The SmartX AS-B server natively integrates Modbus RS-485 master and slave configurations, as well as Modbus TCP client and server. This allows full access to third-party products and the range of Schneider Electric products that communicate on the Modbus protocol, such as power meters, UPS, circuit breakers, and lighting controllers.

Web Services support

The SmartX AS-B server supports the use of Web Services based on open standards, such as SOAP and REST, to consume data into the EcoStruxure BMS. Use incoming third-party data (temperature forecast, energy cost) over the Web to determine site modes, scheduling, and programming.

EcoStruxure Web Services support

EcoStruxure Web Services, Schneider Electric’s Web Services standard, is natively supported in the EcoStruxure BMS servers. EcoStruxure Web Services offers extra features between compliant systems whether within Schneider Electric or other authorized systems. These features include system directory browsing, read/write of current values, alarm receipt and acknowledgement, and historical trend log data. EcoStruxure Web Services requires user name and password to log on to the system.

Text and graphics-based programming tools

Unique to the industry, the EcoStruxure BMS servers have both Script and Function Block programming options. This flexibility helps assure that a suitable programming method can be selected for the application.

eMMC memory for data and backup

The SmartX server has a 4 GB eMMC memory, which is used, for example, for the application, historical data, and backup storage. Users can also manually back up or restore the SmartX server to a storage location on a PC or network. Through the Enterprise Server, users have the ability to perform scheduled backups of associated SmartX servers to network storage for even greater levels of protection.

IT friendly

The EcoStruxure BMS servers communicate using the networking standards. This makes installations easy, management simple, and transactions more secure.

TLS support

Communication between clients and the EcoStruxure BMS servers can be encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2). The servers are delivered with a default self-signed certificate. Commercial Certification Authority (CA) server certificates are supported to lower the risk of malicious information technology attacks. Use of encrypted communication can be enforced for both WorkStation and WebStation access.

Supported protocols
  • IP addressing

  • TCP communications

  • DHCP for easy network configuration

  • DNS for simple lookup of addresses

  • HTTP/HTTPS for Internet access through firewalls, which enables remote monitoring and control

  • NTP (Network Time Protocol) for time synchronization throughout the system

  • SMTP or SMTPS with support for SSL/TLS based authentication, enables sending email messages triggered by schedule or alarm

  • SNMP enables network supervision and reception of application alarms in designated network management tools

Simple DIN-rail installation

Fasteners easily snap into a locked position for panel installation. The fastener has a quick-release feature for easy DIN-rail removal.

Removable terminal blocks

SmartX AS-B servers use pluggable terminal blocks, which are easy to install and remove from the device. The terminal blocks are delivered with the device.

Efficient terminal management

The input and output terminals are clearly labeled. EcoStruxure Building Operation WorkStation can generate custom as-built labels for a SmartX AS-B server.

Protection

Protection components on the universal inputs/outputs, digital inputs, and triac outputs helps protect against high-voltage short-duration transient events. Universal inputs/outputs configured as current inputs (Ub only) have protection against over current. Universal inputs/outputs configured as voltage outputs have current limits to help protect against permanent short-circuit to ground.

For protection from excess current that could be produced by field wiring, follow these instructions:

  • Connect RET terminal number 4 or 5 to a common chassis/signal ground rail in the control panel using a size 2.5 mm² (13 AWG) or larger wire. The wire must have a current rating greater than or equal to 16 A.

  • SmartX AS-B servers with 24 I/O points have more RET terminals for connection of I/O returns, so the common chassis/signal ground rail is optional and may not be needed.

  • Individual 24 VDC power sources to the field must be current limited to maximum 4 A for UL compliant installations, and maximum 6 A in other areas.

For more information on wiring, see Hardware Reference Guide.
