Embedded ATS

Description of the function
Embedded ATS is a function that monitors the system in real time and if there are malfunctions in the electrical network, it changes the power source of the installation.

Two scenarios are handled:

Main-tie-main closed transition: if there is a malfunction on one electrical network, the function makes it possible to keep the loads powered using another electrical network as a source.
Main-generator open transition: if there is a malfunction on the electrical network, the function makes it possible to keep the loads powered using a generator as a source.

>> For details on the Embedded ATS function, please refer to the document “SACE Emax 2 and Tmax XT, the All-In-One innovation: Embedded ATS system”, available here or watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBw4c2kEyTA.

Embedded ATS in Ekip Connect
From Ekip Connect the following operations can be performed:

quickly configure the function and circuit breakers involved

Requirements

Access to the function	Unrestricted. For transfer to the device, package ATS Main-Tie-Main Closed or ATS Main-Gen Open is required, which can be purchased and activated on Marketplace.
Type of devices that support the function	Circuit breakers (Emax 2 and XT)Content
Device status	Any to configure the function and save the configuration. Connected and communicating to transfer the configuration to the device. Note: it is recommended to keep the circuit breaker in the open state during the transfer.
Type of connection with the device	Local connection: connection via Ekip T&P Remote connection: Ekip COM TCP/Ekip COM RTU communication module

>> For more details on supported devices and requirements for each, please refer to document 9AKK108467A9238 available here.

Configure the function Embedded ATS - Main-tie-main closed transition

Click on Tools > Embedded ATS.
To start a new project, select Main-tie-main closed transition or click on Open project to open a previously saved project

In the graphic representation, click on the label Main-tie-main closed transition and set the parameters.
For each circuit breaker, click on its label and set the parameters in Role parameters.
In the Ekip Connect main menu, click on Scanning and connect the first circuit breaker of the system with Ekip Connect (Connection with devices).
In Tools > Embedded ATS, in the graphic representation, click on the label representing the connected circuit breaker.
In Role association, select the circuit breaker: in the graphical representation, the name and serial number of the selected circuit breaker appears below the selected label.
In Role conditions perform the following actions:

check that the hardware modules listed in Manual conditions are present on the circuit breaker and select them in the list.
check that Ekip Connect has correctly detected the hardware modules present on the circuit breaker and listed in Automatic conditions (). To update the list, click on Reload.
NOTICE: all the hardware modules listed both in Manual conditions and in Automatic conditions are necessary for the function.

To transfer the configuration to the circuit breaker, click on Transfer: when the transfer is complete, a message reports the transfers performed.

Note: to transfer the configuration to the circuit breaker, it is recommended for the circuit breaker to be in an open state.

Note: to transfer the configuration to the circuit breaker, you must have activated the purchased package on Marketplace. If an ATS configuration already exists on the circuit breaker, the transfer replaces the previous configuration.

Repeat steps 5 to 9 for all circuit breakers.

NOTICE: do not make any changes to the configuration after you have already transferred the configuration to at least one circuit breaker.

Note: if communication with the circuit breakers is via a Modbus network (RTU/TCP), it is possible to connect multiple circuit breakers at the same time, configure the function parameters Embedded ATS of each one and then transfer the configuration to all devices simultaneously
