As part of a scalable EcoStruxure Building Management System (BMS), Edge Server provides key functionality, such as control logic, trend logging, and alarm supervision, and supports communication and connectivity to IP based 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.
Edge Server has the same role in an EcoStruxure BMS as the automation server, such as SpaceLogic AS-P, but is software only using modern deployment and orchestration technologies.
Edge Server is a powerful software component for customers who prefer use of container technologies for hosting software applications. In a small installation with IP based field controllers, Edge Server acts as a standalone server. In medium and large installations, functionality is distributed over multiple Edge Server instances that communicate over TCP/IP with Enterprise Server as the Operational Technology (OT) orchestrator.

Capable of coordinating traffic from above and below its location, Edge Server can deliver data directly to you or to other servers throughout the site. Edge Server can run multiple control programs, manage 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.
Edge Server can be seen as a software-only version of SpaceLogic AS-P, enabling very fast and more secure deployment, a high level of resiliency, and ultra-fast disaster recovery. Edge Server can be deployed on operating systems with Linux container support and in large installations, and orchestration infrastructure such as Kubernetes can be used.
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, if used with Enterprise Server, against Windows Active Directory or a SAML 2.0 identity provider. 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.
经由任何客户端进入的用户所获得的体验都是相似的,无论用户登录到哪个 EcoStruxure BMS 服务器。用户可以直接登录到边缘服务器,以设计、调试、监督和监控服务器以及服务器托管的基于 IP 的现场总线控制器。更多信息参见 WorkStation 和 WebStation 规格表。
EcoStruxure BMS 的基础之一是支持开放标准。边缘服务器可以与两种最流行的建筑标准进行本地通信:BACnet(包括 BACnet/SC)和 Modbus。
边缘服务器可与 BACnet/IP 和 BACnet MS/TP 网络直接通信。边缘服务器被 BTL 列为 BACnet 楼宇控制器 (B-BC),是最先进的 BACnet 设备配置文件。该功能提供访问施耐德电气和其他供应商提供的各种 BACnet 设备的能力。在 BACnet International 首页查看 BTL 产品目录了解 BTL 清单固件修订版本的最新详情。边缘服务器还可充当 BACnet 广播管理设备 (BBMD) 来促进横跨多个 IP 子网的 BACnet 系统。
Edge Server supports BACnet/SC applications as a BACnet/SC node, hub, and router. This allows Edge Server to be in BACnet/SC networks and support applications that connect BACnet/IP with BACnet/SC networks. A major benefit of BACnet/SC is that it allows more secure transport of BACnet traffic and information between BACnet/SC devices over private and public networks without the need for BBMDs, VLANs, and VPNs, because the BACnet/SC protocol uses WebSocket technology and TLS 1.3 encryption. In addition, BACnet/SC uses certificate management to help ensure only those devices authorized to be on a BACnet/SC network can operate on that network.
OPC UA Client functionality is natively supported in Enterprise Server and automation servers, enabling powerful and high-capacity integration of devices or systems that have OPC UA Server capability. OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) is a standard originating from industrial automation and process control that provides methods intended to provide improved security, performance, and engineering efficiency. With OPC UA Client support, the EcoStruxure Building Operation software can monitor and control a wide variety of devices or systems, from Schneider Electric as well as from other companies.
Edge Server natively integrates Modbus TCP client and server configurations. 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.
Modbus device types are pre-configured Modbus applications for quick and easy Modbus device integration in EcoStruxure Building Operation solutions.
边缘服务器支持基于开放标准(比如 SOAP 和 REST)的 Web 服务的使用,以消耗数据到 EcoStruxure BMS 中。在 Web 上使用输入的第三方数据(温度预测、能源成本)来确定站点模式、日程安排和编程。
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.
The Enterprise Server and automation servers support MQTT as an option for publishing data to, and receiving updates from, other systems. MQTT is a messaging transport protocol that with its small footprint, light bandwidth utilization, and simplicity, is ideal for M2M and IoT communication. The MQTT capability supports communication with any MQTT broker, for example, Amazon, Microsoft, Google or IBM.
EcoStruxure BMS servers can be configured to automatically store all historical data, trend log data, event log and audit trail data, in an external database. If data needs to be available for longer periods of time, an external log storage can be incorporated into the EcoStruxure BMS without the need for extensive engineering work. The supported databases are TimescaleDB, which is built on PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL Server. The data in the external log storage is available natively to the viewers built into the EcoStruxure Building Operation clients and to the built-in reporting functionality.
You can use the powerful Log Processor functionality for custom processing of trend data for viewing in charts, dashboards and for inclusion in reports. The Log Processor enables advanced calculations on one or multiple trend logs and point values.
Examples of advanced calculations:
Energy usage normalization
Virtual submeters and summaries
Calculation of Mean Kinetic Temperature
Unit conversions
Average, maximum, and mini m um over custom periods
The output of the Log Processor can be saved in the database, including the External Log Storage or calculated automatically on demand.
From EcoStruxure Building Operation version 5.0.3 and later, selected trend logs and the event log can be sent to AVEVA PI System directly without the need for intermediate storage or specialized PI System connectors.
The EcoStruxure BMS servers provide built-in functionality for basic reporting that can deliver reports in any text format and XLSX, without any dependencies to other external software. Reports for XLSX can be enriched by using advanced functionality such as formulas, conditional formatting, charts and sparklines.
Reports can be generated on schedule, on an alarm event or other custom conditions, and you can get the output delivered via email or written to file.
For applications that require remote I/O resources, the SpaceLogic IP-IO modules provide a versatile mix of I/O points for any application. For more information, see the SpaceLogic IP-IO Specification Sheet.
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.
The EcoStruxure BMS servers communicate using the networking standards. This makes installations easy, management simple, and transactions more secure.
IP 寻址
TCP 通信
DNS,用于简捷地查找地址
HTTP/HTTPS,用于通过防火墙接入互联网,实现远程监控
SMTP/SMTPS 支持基于 SSL/TLS 的身份验证,可发送时间表或报警触发的电子邮件讯息
SNMP,用于网络监测和指定网络管理工具中的应用程序报警接收
WebSocket Secure (WSS) 和 TLS 1.3 加密(BACnet/SC 应用程序)
Communication between clients and the EcoStruxure BMS servers , and between EcoStruxure BMS servers, can be encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS ). 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.
