HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Overview

1 HDPM System Overview

The HDPM6000 product family is a modular, multi-circuit power monitoring
system that combines a central processing head unit (which includes an
integrated 3-phase power meter) with one or more branch circuit modules.

The HDPM6000 head unit is the foundation of the product family,

responsible for acquiring branch circuit measurement data from attached
branch circuit modules and communicating this power data to monitoring
systems and software. The head unit is also a 3-phase power quality meter
(PQM) with voltage and current inputs.

The Bus port on the head unit supports daisy-chain connections (using
CAT6 cables) to multiple branch circuit modules. The Bus port provides
power to connected modules and gathers data from those modules. The
Enviro port connects to compatible environmental sensors offered by
Schneider Electric.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Overview

The HDPM6000S strip module is designed to be installed next to the circuit

breakers being monitored. The modules are available in left-hand and right-
hand configurations. Each strip module has connectors for 21 current
transducers, and multiple strip modules can be daisy-chain connected to a
head unit. The Address dial configures the ANSI or IEC channel number
range used by the strip module.

The RJ-45 Bus port connectors support connection to the head unit and
other strip modules via CAT6 cables. The Enviro port connects to
compatible environmental sensors offered by Schneider Electric.

The HDPM6000S24 strip module, like the HDPM6000S module described

above, is designed to be installed next to the circuit breakers being
monitored. Each strip module has connectors for 24 current transducers,
and multiple strip modules can be daisy-chain connected to a head unit.
The Address dial configures the ANSI or IEC channel number range used
by the strip module.

The RJ-45 Bus port connectors support connection to the head unit and
other strip modules via CAT6 cables. The Enviro port connects to
compatible environmental sensors offered by Schneider Electric.

The HDPM6000R retrofit modules are designed for retrofit branch circuit
monitoring applications and are available in several configurations (24-, 42-,
and 84-circuit modules). Multiple retrofit modules can be daisy-chain
connected to the head unit, and the Address dial configures the ANSI or
IEC channel number range used by the retrofit module.

The RJ-45 Bus port connectors support connection to the head unit and
other retrofit modules via CAT6 cables.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Overview

Note
CT wires connected to HDPM6000R modules should be cut with insulation
flush to the end of the wire (not stripped).

The HDPM6000B busway module is designed for electrical busway

metering applications and is available in 4-circuit and 8-circuit
configurations. Multiple busway modules can be daisy-chain connected to
the head unit, and the two Address dials configure the channel number
range used by the busway module.

The RJ-45 Bus port connectors support connection to the head unit and
other strip modules via CAT6 cables. The Enviro port connects to
compatible environmental sensors offered by Schneider Electric.

In panelboard monitoring applications, a HDPM6000 head unit is

connected to one or more retrofit or strip modules as shown in the two
diagrams below. The branch modules are daisy-chain connected, and the
first (or last) branch module is connected to the bus port on the head unit.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Overview

In busway monitoring applications, a HDPM6000 head unit is connected

to one or more busway modules as shown in the diagram below. The
busway modules are attached to busway tap boxes and are daisy-chain
connected, and the first (or last) branch module is connected to the bus port
on the head unit.

Note
If more than 14 busway modules are daisy-chain connected, or the total
bus cable length is greater than 30 meters (98 feet), then a ring topology is
required. See the HDPM6000B sub-section in the Branch Modules section
for more details.

3 HDPM System Configuration

A HDPM6000 system is configured via the web interface offered by the
head unit. The web interface can be navigated using the tabs on the
horizontal bar below the Schneider Electric logo.

Note
When changes are made using the HDPM6000 head unit web pages,
ensure the Save button on the page is pressed and do not navigate away
from the page until a popup appears confirming a successful save,
otherwise changes may be lost.

See the “Accessing the Device for the First Time” section in the HDPM6000
Head Unit Installation Guide (Z208128) document for details about
connecting to the head unit web server and logging in.

The steps below provide an overview of the key tasks involved in

configuring a HDPM6000 system.

1. Complete basic configuration tasks (such as communications and

power metering settings) on the General Settings tab page.

Note
Enabling DHCP and saving the change while directly connected to the
head unit with a PC will result in a loss of communications. Complete all
other configuration tasks before enabling DHCP.

2. Confirm that all connected branch circuit modules are recognized by the
head unit on the Taps tab page. Module addressing can optionally be
manually set using this page, and the orientation of strip modules can
be configured.

3. Set the CT Type for CTs connected to the head unit and connected
branch circuit modules on the Channel Cfg tab page. Set the expected
phase for each current channel, assign channels to circuits and load
types, and assign names to circuits. The Branch Circuits section below
provides additional information and examples.

4. Configure the demand calculation type to use and the length of each
demand interval on the Demand tab page.

5. If I/O modules or EIM modules are connected, assign module

addresses (“card allocations”) on the I/O tab page and Digital Input tab
page, respectively.

6. If environmental sensors are attached to the head unit and/or branch

circuit modules, configure sensor descriptions and Modbus address
layout on the Environmental tab page.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Configuration

7. Set up event and measurement logging on the Logging tab page. The
Logs section below provides additional information about log
configuration, and the PME and HDPM Logs section describes how to
configure logs for use with Power Monitoring Expert (PME).

8. Configure voltage and current alarms for the head unit and attached
branch circuit modules on the Alarms tag page. The Alarms section
below provides additional details and examples.

9. Enable waveform capture triggers and set trigger thresholds on the

Waveform tab page. The Waveforms section below provides additional
details and examples.

Note
Waveform capture is an optional feature on most branch circuit modules

The HDPM Configuration Files section below describes how to use

configuration files to save much of the configuration state of an HDPM
system and propagate this configuration to other HDPM systems.

Additional HDPM6000 system configuration information can be found in the

“Commissioning” section in the HDPM6000 Head Unit Installation Guide
(Z208128).

3.1 Basic Configuration

Basic configuration settings for a HDPM6000 system can be found on the
General Settings tab of the head unit web user interface. An overview of
several key settings available on the General Settings tab is provided
below.

▪ HDPM system time. The Synchronize board time button will set time
on the HDPM head unit to match the time of the PC that has loaded the
General Settings page. The Network Time Protocol (NTP) settings can
be configured to enable the head unit to synchronize time with an NTP
server.

▪ TCP/IP settings. IPv4 and IPv6 communications can be enabled or

disabled. The head unit IPv4 address and associated settings will be
configured automatically if the IPv4 DHCP setting is enabled. Use the
IP Address filtering setting to configure specific IP addresses that the
head unit will accept connections from. The Second Ethernet Port
(Eth1) Functionality setting configures Eth1 for either Switched mode
or HMI mode (for use with an HMI connected to the Eth1 port).

▪ RS-485 communications. The RS485 speed setting is used to select

the serial baud rate, and the Modbus address setting configures the
Modbus unit ID of the head unit.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Configuration

▪ Circuit settings. The Channel numbering setting selects between

ANSI and IEC channel numbering schemes, and the Supply Type
setting selects which power system type the head unit is connected to
(Wye, Delta, or Split). The High power mode setting applies to branch
circuit current and power measurements and typically only needs
adjustment if channel currents exceed 655 amps. The Energy
resolution setting adjusts the scaling of 32-bit integer energy registers,
and the default 1 Wh setting is recommended. The Phase summary
setting determines which data summary (3-phase meter, Circuits, or
Split circuits) is shown at the top of the Circuit Data page.

3.2 Branch Circuits

Input channels on branch circuit modules connected to the HDPM head unit
are configured into circuits using the Channel Cfg tab of the head unit web
user interface. Channels can be assigned to circuit groups either
automatically or manually:

▪ Automatic circuit groups: uncheck the Manually assign

channels to circuits box in the lower-right corner of the Channel
Cfg web page and select the Add to circuit boxes between
channels to be combined into a circuit group. When finished, click
Save configuration.

▪ Manual circuit groups: check the Manually assign channels to

circuits box in the lower-right corner of the Channel Cfg web page
and assign circuit numbers to channels in the Circuit column.
Channels are part of a circuit when they share the same circuit
number assignment. When finished, click Save configuration.

Figure 3.2.1 shows an example circuit configuration with a view of a portion

of the Channel Cfg tab of the head unit web interface with several circuit
groups defined. The HDPM system is configured for ANSI channel
numbering and circuit grouping is set to automatic.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Configuration

The screenshot in Figure 3.2.1 demonstrates the following circuit group

configurations:

▪ Channel 1 is on voltage phase 1 and given the name “Server 1”.

This circuit is assigned to the “Server” load type.

▪ Channel 3 is on voltage phase 2 and given the name “Server 2”.

This circuit is assigned to the “Server” load type.

▪ Channel 5 is on voltage phase 3 and given the name “Server 3”.

This circuit is assigned to the “Server” load type.

▪ Channels 7, 9, and 11 are grouped into a 3-phase circuit with

voltage phases 1, 2, and 3, and given the name “HVAC 1”. This
circuit is assigned to the “HVAC” load type.

▪ Channel 13 is not used, and the CT Type is set to “Unused”.

Note
If branch circuit channels are unused and do not have CTs attached,
disable them on the Channel Cfg tab by setting their CT Type to
“Unused”.

See the HDPM Sources and Measurements in PME section for more
information about how circuit group names and load types appear as PME
source names. Configure branch channels as circuit groups (including
names and load types) before adding a HDPM system to PME to avoid the
creation of initial sources in PME that are later unused.

See the “Branch Circuit Configuration” and “Channel Cfg Tab” sections in
the HDPM6000 Head Unit Installation Guide (Z208128) for more
information about configuring branch circuit groups.

3.3 Logs
Onboard data logs are configured using the Logging tab of the head unit
web user interface. In Figure 3.3.1 below, region 1 (shown with 1 in a
green circle) is a left-hand column of radio buttons used to select a data log,
and web interface elements in the remaining regions on the screen are then
used to configure the selected data log. Web interface elements in region 2
are used to download data from the selected log, and web interface
elements in region 3 are used to configure the name and parameters of the
selected log. Finally, web interface elements in region 4 are used to set the
Modbus registers of measurements that will be included in the selected log.

Note
An SD card (provided with the HDPM head unit) must be inserted into the
HDPM head unit to use onboard logging features.

Figure 3.3.1: HDPM Head Unit Web Interface – Logging Tab

Note
The drop-down box (with the text “Use standard config…”) in region 3 of
the screenshot above contains preset groups of Modbus registers to
include in the configuration of the currently selected log. These presets
can be used to quickly configure onboard logs to use common groupings
of Modbus registers.

See the “Logging Tab” section in the HDPM6000 Head Unit Installation
Guide (Z208128) for more information.

The HDPM6000 driver for EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert (PME)

requires specific onboard logs to include specific Modbus registers for
correct operation. See the PME and HDPM Logs section below for more
information.

A file containing the complete onboard log configuration can be downloaded

from and uploaded to a HDPM head unit using HDPM6000 Manager
software. See the HDPM Configuration Files section below for more
information.

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide HDPM System Configuration

3.4 Alarms
Alarms on a HDPM6000 system are configured using the Alarms tab of the
head unit web user interface. Warnings and alarms for voltage and current
are set based on user-defined thresholds and delays. Warnings and alarms
are available in both non-latching and latching forms. Non-latching
warnings and alarms (shown as Low, High, Warning, and Alarm in the web
interface) are only active during the time the condition that triggered them is
active. Latching warnings and alarms (shown as Low L, High L, Warning L,
and Alarm L in the web interface) remain active once triggered until
manually cleared via Modbus or the head unit web interface.

Figure 3.4.1 shows the portion of the Alarms tab web interface used to
configure low and high voltage alarms. The voltage measurement value and
low and high threshold values are shown for each phase. The non-
latching/latching Low and High alarm states for each phase are shown at
the right of the figure – a blank checkbox indicates no alarm and a blue
checkmark indicates an active (or latched) alarm.

Figure 3.4.1: Voltage Alarm Thresholds and High/Low Status

Figure 3.4.2 shows all global settings fields and controls visible for current
(and for the voltage alarm delay) when the Global settings button has
been toggled to enable this view.

▪ The Clear buttons at the top are used to clear all warnings or
alarms, or to clear specific alarms (such as voltage alarms).

▪ The Voltage alarm delay specifies how long a high/low voltage

condition is active before a voltage alarm becomes active.

▪ The Tripped breaker settings specify the threshold to be exceeded

(and for how long) before the tripped breaker alarm is armed.

▪ The Set all breaker sizes, thresholds, and warning/alarm delay

buttons are used to specify warning and alarm conditions for HDPM
system current inputs. The Set all breaker sizes button sets the
breaker size for both the head unit 3-phase meter and branch
channels.

3.5 Waveforms
Waveform capture thresholds, display, and data export for the HDPM
system are available via the Waveform tab web interface. The Edit
settings button toggles the display of the waveform capture settings shown
in Figure 3.5.1 below. Note that waveform capture is an optional feature on
most branch circuit modules.

▪ The Over voltage and Voltage sag settings establish the

over/under voltage thresholds that trigger a waveform capture. For
a delta power supply type, only head unit voltage and current
channels will be captured.

▪ The Phase currents settings configure the threshold and hold time
for either an over current or tripped breaker condition. If the Over
current option is selected, a waveform capture will be recorded if
the mains current exceeds the threshold for at least the Hold time
duration. If the Tripped breaker option is selected, the mains
current must exceed this threshold for at least the Hold time
duration to arm the mains current tripped breaker waveform
capture. The Channels to capture option specifies whether all
channels are captured or only the channel that triggered the
waveform capture event.

▪ The Channel currents TB settings configure a waveform capture

when a tripped breaker is detected on a branch channel (i.e. zero
crossing timeout on a current channel). To trigger a waveform
capture, the branch channel current must exceed the Threshold
value for at least the Hold time duration to arm the branch current
tripped breaker waveform capture.

Use one of the following device types when adding a HDPM system to
PME:

Device Type Description

HDPM6000 HDPM head unit without branch modules

HDPM6000R HDPM head unit with retrofit branch modules

HDPM6000S HDPM head unit with strip branch modules

(either HDPM6000S or HDPM6000S24
modules)

HDPM6000B HDPM head unit with busway branch modules

The PME HDPM device driver creates the following sources for each
HDPM system:

▪ Head unit

▪ Each circuit group

▪ Each load type

The head unit source is assigned measurements generated by the head

unit 3-phase meter as well as several branch circuit measurements. The
head unit is given the name assigned to the HDPM system when it is added
to PME. As an example, the head unit may be given the source name
BuildingA.Panel1.

Each circuit group configured on the HDPM system is created as a

separate source in PME and given a name that combines the head unit
name with a circuit group name. As an example, a 3-phase circuit
combining channels 1, 3, and 5 may be given the name
BuildingA.Panel1_C001_003_005. If the circuit group has been configured
with a name on the HDPM, the source name in PME will include that
configured HDPM name instead of the generic Cxxx name. As an example,
if the 3-phase circuit combining channels 1, 3, and 5 has been assigned the

HDPM6000 Configuration Guide PME and HDPM Systems

name “Server2A”, the PME source name will be

BuildingA.Panel1_Server2A.

Each load type configured on the HDPM is created as a separate source in

PME and given a name that combines the head unit name with a load type
name. As an example, a load type given the name “HVAC” on the HDPM
may appear with the source name BuildingA.Panel1_HVAC in PME.

The HDPM driver creates one or more new sources when an existing circuit
group is redefined. Consider the example of a 3-phase circuit combining
channels 1, 3, and 5 that is later redefined as 3 separate single-phase
circuits. PME may create a source named
BuildingA.Panel1_C001_003_005 when the 3-phase circuit is first defined
and will create 3 new sources (BuildingA.Panel1_C001,
BuildingA.Panel1_C003, BuildingA.Panel1_C005) when the 3-phase
circuit is redefined as 3 separate single-phase circuits. The original 3-phase
source name remains, and any measurement data logged under the 3-
phase source name is retained in the PME database.

Note
Configure branch channels as circuit groups before adding a HDPM
system to PME to avoid the creation of initial sources in PME that are later
unused.

Note
Do not use duplicate circuit group or load type names on the same HDPM
system to avoid the creation of spurious PME sources for the same circuit.

The table below (from the PME HDPM driver release notes) lists the
measurements and features available for the HDPM device types in PME.

4.2 PME and HDPM Logs

The HDPM driver requires onboard logs on connected HDPM6000 systems
to have a specific configuration for correct operation. The HDPM driver
release notes contain a table (in the “On-Board Logging” section) that
specifies the configuration for each onboard log.

Table 4.2.1 below shows the required configuration for the first 7 onboard
logs as an example. See the PME HDPM6000 driver release notes for the
table listing the complete HDPM onboard logging configuration
requirements.

Note
Configure onboard logs as required before adding a HDPM system to PME
to ensure the HDPM driver will download log data as expected.

The Logs section above provides information about configuring onboard

logs on a HDPM head unit.

5 HDPM Configuration Files

A HDPM6000 system is configured using the web user interface on the
head unit, but the complete configuration of a HDPM system can be
downloaded to a file and then propagated to other HDPM systems.

HDPM6000 Manager is a Microsoft Windows software utility used to

manage the configuration of one or more HDPM6000 head units. Some
capabilities of this software utility include firmware upgrades, HTTPS
certificate management, and downloading/uploading meter configuration
files. This utility is packaged as a standalone software executable (no
installation step required).

The HDPM6000 Manager screenshot below is an example showing three

connected head units, each with different branch and I/O modules attached.
The Download Configuration button is used to download the
configuration(s) of one or more selected HDPM head units, and the Upload
Configuration button is used to upload a configuration file to one or more
selected HDPM head units.

5.3 CT Type Table

A HDPM6000 head unit maintains a CT Type table with calibration data for
CTs that are compatible with HDPM6000 systems. Each CT entry in the
table is given a unique name, CT factor (magnitude) value, and PHCAL
(phase shift) value. The CTs defined in the CT Type table can be selected
when configuring CTs connected to the head unit and branch circuit module
channels within the Channel Cfg tab of the web user interface on the head
meter. CT Type table files (CSV format) are used to add new CT entries to
the CT Type table maintained by a HDPM head unit.

To upload a CT Type table file to one or more HDPM head units, select the
HDPM system(s) (checkbox next to the serial number) in HDPM6000
Manager and click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Upload
Configuration button. Click the Upload CT Type Table button that
appears, and then select the CT Type table file (CSV format) and click the
Open button.

An Upload CT Type Table dialog box with a progress bar will appear after
the Save button has been clicked. If the progress bar is green once
progress has completed and the OK button can be clicked, the CT Type
table was successfully uploaded to the selected head unit(s). If the progress
bar is red once progress has completed, the CT Type table was not
successfully uploaded to one or more selected head units.

Note
Uploading a CT Type table file to a HDPM head unit does not delete
existing entries in the CT Type table maintained by the head unit.
Modifications to existing CT parameters in the table will be applied and
new entries will be added.

Note
HDPM head unit firmware v62.7 and above supports up to 500 CT Type
table entries. Head units with previous firmware versions support fewer
table entries and may display an error if a CT Type table file upload adds
new entries that exceed the table limit.
