Power Center Gateway Edge Computing Configuration

Power Center Gateway Edge Computing Configuration

The Edge Computing feature enables real-time, automated decision-making directly on the gateway, based on predefined rules and sensor inputs — without requiring constant communication with a central server. This allows for faster response times, reduced bandwidth usage, and improved system reliability. Within the Power Center platform, the Edge Computing interface allows users to configure conditional rules based on parameters such as voltage, temperature, or custom variables. These rules can trigger actions like turning digital outputs on or off, sending SNMP or Modbus commands, or activating cooling mechanisms, ensuring autonomous local control and optimized site performance.

Free-Cooling Rule Configuration Overview

This feature allows defining automation rules for the Free-Cooling module, designed to reduce energy consumption by using cool outdoor air to ventilate indoor spaces instead of running the air conditioner.

  • Description: The Description field is used to assign a clear name to the rule being created — for example, “Free-Cooling module” — to help identify it later in the rules list.

  • System Variables

    • Room Temperature: Select the variable representing the indoor temperature.

    • Outdoor Temperature: Select the variable representing the outdoor temperature.

    • Thermal Response Time: Defines the system’s expected thermal reaction time, in minutes, before making a control decision.

  • Air-Condition

    • On Temperature: Room temperature at which the AC will turn on.

    • Off Temperature: Room temperature at which the AC will turn off.

    • Minimum Runtime: Minimum number of minutes the AC must stay on once triggered.

    • Restart Delay: Minimum wait time before the AC can be turned on again after it was turned off.

  • Fan

    • On Temperature: The minimum room temperature at which the fan is allowed to operate.

    • Minimum Room-Outdoor: The minimum temperature difference (ΔT) between the room and outdoor. When the actual difference exceeds this value, the fan will be activated.

    • Max Speed Room-Outdoor: When the temperature difference reaches or exceeds this threshold, the fan will operate at maximum speed.
