alert symbol shall not be used with this signal word.
Please Note
Electrical equipment should be installed, operated, serviced, and maintained
only by qualified personnel. No responsibility is assumed by Schneider Electric
for any consequences arising out of the use of this material.
A qualified person is one who has skills and knowledge related to the
construction, installation, and operation of electrical equipment and has
received safety training to recognize and avoid the hazards involved.
Before You Begin
Do not use this product on machinery lacking effective point-of-operation guarding.
Lack of effective point-of-operation guarding on a machine can result in serious injury
to the operator of that machine.
This automation equipment and related software is used to control a variety of
industrial processes. The type or model of automation equipment suitable for each
application will vary depending on factors such as the control function required,
degree of protection required, production methods, unusual conditions and
government regulations etc. In some applications more than one processor may be
required when backup redundancy is needed.
Only the user can be aware of all the conditions and factors present during setup,
operation and maintenance of the solution. Therefore, only the user can determine
the automation equipment and the related safeties and interlocks which can be
properly used. When selecting automation and control equipment and related
software for a particular application, the user should refer to the applicable local and
national standards and regulations. The National Safety Council’s Accident
Prevention Manual also provides much useful information.
Ensure that appropriate safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks related to point-
of-operation protection have been installed and are operational before placing the
equipment into service. All mechanical/electrical interlocks and safeties protection
must be coordinated with the related automation equipment and software
programming.
Note: Coordination of safeties and mechanical/electrical interlocks for point-of
operation protection is outside the scope of this document.
Start-up and Test
Before using electrical control and automation equipment for regular operation, the
system should be given a start-up test by qualified personnel to verify the correct
operation of the equipment. It is important that arrangements for such a check be
made and that enough time is allowed to perform complete and satisfactory testing.

WARNING
EQUIPMENT OPERATION HAZARD
• Follow all start up tests as recommended in the equipment documentation.
• Store all equipment documentation for future reference.
• Software testing must be done in both simulated and real environments.
Failure to follow these instructions can cause death, serious injury or
equipment damage.

Verify that the completed system is free from all short circuits and grounds, except
those grounds installed according to local regulations (according to the National
Electrical Code in the USA, for example). If high-potential voltage testing is
necessary, follow recommendations in the equipment documentation to prevent
accidental equipment damage.

Internal
 Before energizing equipment:
● Follow all applicable site, local, and national workplace safety rules for working
around this equipment.

Operation and Adjustments

The following precautions are from NEMA Standards Publication ICS 7.1-1995
(English version prevails):
● Regardless of the care exercised in the design and manufacture of equipment or
in the selection and rating of components; there are hazards that can be
encountered if such equipment is improperly operated.
● It is sometimes possible to misadjust the equipment and thus produce
unsatisfactory or unsafe operation. Always use the manufacturer’s instructions as
a guide for functional adjustments. Personnel who have access to these
adjustments should be familiar with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions
and the machinery used with the electrical equipment.
● Only those operational adjustments actually required by the operator should be
accessible to the operator. Access to other controls should be restricted to
prevent unauthorized changes in operating characteristics.

WARNING
UNEXPECTED EQUIPMENT OPERATION

• Only use software tools approved by Schneider Electric for use with this
equipment.
• Update your application program every time you change the physical
hardware configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can cause death, serious injury or

Presentation
EMO L is a power management and control solution to handle microgrid island mode
by synchronizing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), loads and energy storage
systems and maintaining power frequency and voltage within optimal range. The
integration of a dedicated local SCADA (microgrid HMI) provides monitoring and
control functions over the microgrid system.
It enables the automatic, manual, or forced transition from grid-connected to islanded
mode to provide uninterrupted power supply to microgrid loads during abnormal grid
power system conditions or planned interruptions of the system.
It enables reconnection of the microgrid to the utility grid without disruption of the
system power supply.
EMO L drives and interacts with the Distributed Energy Resources in the microgrid,
considering their type, the type of inverter, and their operating conditions.
EMO L interacts with a set of different field equipment to perform control, monitoring
and management functions.
Schneider Electric has developed EMO L solution with the goal of facilitate its
adaptation to multiple types of microgrids of different sizes and with different
resources, either they are grid-connected or islanded. (see Application Cases).

Introduction EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large

Architecture
The Schneider Electric EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large solution is built
by:
● 1 Microgrid controller mainly in charge of managing the microgrid voltage
amplitude and frequency stability when it is disconnected from the grid (islanded)
and to connect/disconnect the microgrid from the utility grid.
● 1 Microgrid HMI/SCADA for monitoring and controlling the devices within the
microgrid.
● Different LGCUs (Schneider Electric Local Generation Control Units or third
party) which allow the control of the Gensets.
● A common open communication platform for data exchange among devices
(IEDs, DERs, …).
EMO L can interface with an upper layer Energy Management System (EMS) using
several interfaces in parallel with bidirectional communication. Such EMS could be
the Schneider Electric EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Advisor (EMA) which interacts with
EMO L forecasting and optimizing when to produce, consume, and store energy
based on: electricity tariff rate, site constraints, weather forecast information, and
Demand Response requests.

Microgrid Controller Redundancy

The EMO L microgrid controller is an EPAS Linux Gateway solution with redundancy
capabilities.
The EPAS Linux Gateway redundancy is based on two identical gateway-pc running
the same software with the same database configuration, protocols, and I/O mapping.
One of the machines is referred to as the gateway Main and the other one as the
gateway Backup, both of them having the same behavior.
There are two operating modes regardless of whether it is the Main or the Backup
gateway: the Standby mode and the Active mode. Only one of the redundant
gateways is active at a time.
If the active gateway becomes inoperative, the transfer from the active to the standby
gateway is performed automatically. During the switching between modes, there will
be no discrepancy between the reported data to the TBUS (SCADA and IEC 61850)
and the real process.
For detailed information about the EPAS Linux Gateway refer to the user manual.

Linux User Account management

In Linux, each service can be run using separate system user accounts. This
provides separation of rights and privileges.
For EMO L microgrid controller software, the system user account is named uPACiS.
It is created automatically during installation phase.
As any system user account, this user has no home folder, neither password. Since
there is no password, no one can log in using this system account.
This account automatically starts EMO L controller software at boot time. Any file
generated by this software (log, traces, …) will belong to the uPACiS user.
This user has no particular rights. Any special capabilities required by the software
are set on the software itself.

EMO L Operation Modes

EMO L operation modes refer to the EMO L microgrid controller different modes of
operation. In the scope of this manual the following operation modes are available:
● AUTO. This is the operating mode by default. This means that after switching on,
EMO L microgrid controller operates in AUTO mode. In this mode, EMO L
microgrid controller performs algorithms computation and communicates with the
equipment in the solution: IEDs, DERs, …
● TEST. During TEST mode EMO L microgrid controller performs algorithms (data
acquisition) but no controls are sent to the equipment in the solution.
● OFF. During OFF mode, no data acquisition nor transmission is performed
from/to EMO L microgrid controller. After selecting this mode, there is no
communication between EMO L microgrid controller and the equipment in the
solution which remains operating as it was before switching off EMO L microgrid
controller.
INITIALIZATION mode is a transition mode between OFF and AUTO mode. When
switching EMO L microgrid controller from OFF to AUTO, it first performs a system
verification and only enters AUTO mode once checked optimal operating conditions
are met.

EMO L Settings File Synchronization in Redundant Microgrid

Controllers
This section describes the configuration to be done to ensure settings
synchronization in case of EMO L microgrid controller redundancy.
The EMO L settings are hosted in StaticData_input.csv file located in EMO L
microgrid controller Main machine (EMOCTRL) and in EMO L microgrid controller
Backup machine (EMOCTRL_BCK).
The settings set by the operator, either by the use of an automation or through the
user interface, only are automatically updated in the Active microgrid controller.
Therefore, an addon, Unison tool, is needed to synchronize StaticData_input.csv
file in both EMO L controller Main machine (EMOCTRL) and in EMO L controller
Backup machine (EMOCTRL_BCK).

Prerequisites
Before starting, make sure that:
● EMO L microgrid controller is successfully installed.
● EMO L redundancy is successfully time synchronized.
● The StaticData_input.csv file is generated by the EPAS Gateway application.
● Internet connection is working since it is required for unison application
installation

Host names, Username, IP addresses

These are some tips to be considered concerning Host names, usernames, and IP
address:
NOTE: It is recommended to have the same username for the Main and the Backup
machines.

EMO L Settings file storage location

For security reasons, it is recommended to create a separate folder for the EMO L
settings file to manage it independently:

Step Where Action

1 EMOCTRL Create folder where to store the EMO L settings (i.e. EmoSettings):
EMOCTRL_BCK $sudo mkdir /opt/Project/EmoSettings

2 EMOCTRL Change the user and group ownership of EmoSettings directory:

EMOCTRL_BCK $sudo chown uPACiS:$USER /opt/Project/EmoSettings

3 EMOCTRL Change the user and group rights of the EmoSettings directory:
EMOCTRL_BCK $sudo chmod 774 /opt/Project/EmoSettings

4 EMOCTRL Change the StaticData file storage location in GlobalParam.ini:

EMOCTRL_BCK $sudo nano /opt/schneider-electric/gateway/GlobalParams.ini

Unison Installation
Unison addon is a file synchronization tool. It allows two replicas of a collection of
files and directories to be stored on different hosts, modified separately, and then
brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
Use Unison tool to synchronize StaticData_input.csv files hosted on both EMO L
controller Main and Backup machines.
To install Unison tool, use the following command:

Where Action / Command

EMOCTRL and Unison installation (use a temporary internet connection):

EMOCTRL_BCK
$sudo apt-get install unison unison-all -y

User SSH Key generation and copy

The SSH protocol uses public key cryptography to authenticate hosts and users. The
authentication keys, called SSH keys, are created using the keygen program.
To generate my SSH key, use the following command:

Where Action / Command

EMOCTRL and $ssh-keygen -t rsa

EMOCTRL_BCK
Then in:

• Enter file….: leave empty

• Overwrite: type y for yes
• Passphrase: leave empty

EMO L_UM_EN_V.1.4 77
EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large Configuration
To copy the SSH key to the server, do the following:

Action / Command

• In EMOCTRL:
emo@EMOCTRL: ssh-copy-id -f -i emo_user@192.168.60.116
emo_user is the user of the remote PC
• In EMOCTRL_BCK:
emo_user@EMOCTRL_BCK: ssh-copy-id -f -i emo@192.168.60.115
emo is the user of the backup PC
NOTE: The SSH key has been created, the ssh-copy-id command is used to install it as an authorized
key on the server. Once the key has been authorized for SSH, it grants access to the server without a
password.
Once the key has been copied, it is recommended to test it:
• In EMOCTRL:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa emo_user@192.168.60.116
• In EMOCTRL_BCK:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa emo@192.168.60.115

Unison Script - CONTRAB

A list of commands needs to be run on a regular basis for the Unison tool to perform
the files synchronization:

Action / Commands
1) Add contrab command in EMOCTRL (Main machine).
To add contrab command in EMOCTRL (Main machine), open crontab to add the script managing unison
for file synchronization.
From the terminal console type: crontab -e

Copy the following line to crontab -e. by changing the username and IP address.
* * * * * unison /opt/Project/EmoSettings/StaticData_input.csv
ssh://emo_user@192.168.60.116//opt/Project/EmoSettings/StaticData_input.csv
Each star is a crontab parameter. For more information type man crontab in linux terminal.
In our case the crontab is configured to call the script every minute.

78 EMO L_UM_EN_V.1.4
Configuration EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large

Action / Commands
2) Prevent user interaction. The following actions need to be performed in both EMOCTRL (Main
machine) and EMOCTRL_BCK.
Unison tool saves its profiles in the .unison folder in the home directory.
First, if this folder does not already exist, use the following command to create it:
mkdir ~/.unison
To prevent the user interaction, modify this file as follows:
sudo nano ~/.unison/default.prf

• auto: automatically accepts default (nonconflicting) actions.

• batch: batch mode asks no questions at all.
• confirmbigdel: asks about whole-replica (or path) deletes (default true).
• times: synchronizes modification times.
• prefer: chooses this replica's version for conflicting changes.
NOTE: For any further question do man unison from linux terminal

Troubleshooting
To create log file:

Action / Command

1) Edit file 50-default.conf:

$sudo nano /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf
2) Remove the # for cron.*

3) Then, restart rsyslog:

$sudo service rsyslog restart

EMO L_UM_EN_V.1.4 79
EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large Configuration

Action / Command

4) Then /var/log/cron.log will be created.

Here we can see that the task cron is executed every minute as expected. If any error, it will be logged in
the file:

NOTE: At end of the troubleshooting, put back the # for cron.* in file /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

Chapter Overview
This chapter focuses on EMO L microgrid controller run-time application and does not
concern third-party companion projects.
The objective is to provide the user with problem-solving information to overcome
issues related to EMO L microgrid controller run-time application.

What to Troubleshoot
Issues encountered mainly at the start-up of EMO L controller run-time application,
such as an unexpected behavior and/or non-starting situation.
For ISaGRAF troubleshooting, EMO L automation algorithms are tested and validated
during project development phase.
NOTE: Do not change ISaGRAF default parameters, as this can lead to an
unexpected system behavior.
Therefore, issues related to EMO L automation algorithms computations are not in
this chapter’s scope.

Troubleshooting Commands

Command Description

gtws start To start, the EMO controller (normally EMO L controller starts automatically after a reboot

gtws stop To stop EMO L controller services. Modbus takes some time to stop all acquisition of legacy network. Be
patient.

PS-eFAH It returns the list of the services running. It is useful to know which process is not running. It works the
same way as Def for Defunct service:

gtws status It returns the list of EMO L controller processes. Once EMO L controller started, all processes should
remain alive. Repeat this command 2 or 3 times after start-up and observe any difference. In case of any
issue in one process, they clear up and GTW re-starts:

EMO L_UM_EN_V.1.4 125

EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large Troubleshooting

Check running DATABASE (EMO L controller configuration) and ECDD slot enabled

Open gtw_omm.ini file (in gateway installation folder) and see the content.

It should match with the expected value:

current_bd value is the slot used by the running database.

dpkg -i YOUR_DEBIAN_PACKAGE To install/re-install Debian package (As Super User).

NOTE: Two packages for EMO L solution Controller need to be installed: the
default Gateway package plus the default EMO L MICROGRID
CONTROLLER package (see Installation chapter).

apt-get remove YOUR_DEBIAN_PACKAGE To remove a Debian package (As Super User)

Troubleshooting with Logs

The list with EMO L microgrid controller activity traces is available for
analysis in the following file:
/opt/Schneider-electric/gateway/GlobalParam.ini
1. Open this file via text editor in SUDO mode and enable traces
2. Set value 1 to enable trace:
Debug = 1
DebugToLogFiles = 1
3. Do the same to enable other traces:
Modbus, SBUS, StaticData, etc or all of them, only this last will
generate a huge quantity of information in logs file.
4. Other useful information like file path, file size, quantity of file is also
available:

Frame Analysis
This is an example of a typical analysis or root cause identification:
Key Logs information
Find logs files in the following folders:

● Default folder for log analyze /var/log/gateway/

● Default folder for agency log /var/log/agency/

In logs file, to search for a string can be very useful:

Command Description

tail -f *.log Shows dynamically all incoming logs

NOTE: It lists all messages without restriction.

tail -f*.log |grep “string_xxxx” Shows dynamically all incoming logs with a string
search criteria.

NOTE: It lists dynamically all incoming logs but

does not mention which logs file returns the
message.

tail -f *.log | grep "string_xxxx" Shows dynamically all incoming logs with two
criteria: The first is the search string criteria and
the second is a default string key to return file
name.

How to Track a Tag in Logs (value and data exchanged)

How to track a norgint tag within logs and see the values exchanged/published.
It might be useful to identify a norgint tag and trace some information about it.
First action is getting the norgint ID matching your data. To do so, two different ways
are possible:
1. Via EMO L Controller webpage (only if option is enabled). Go to Datapoints tab,
search for norgint tag, then on the left side, see the norgint number.
2. Another way is to directly search for norgint tag and its own number in SDHMI
file. The routine table is also available for checking.
a) Open via a text editor the SDHMI.txt file and search for norgint tag. The
second attribute from the left is the norgint number.
In below example norgint starts from 2308 to 2316:

b) Now with norgint number, use command as follows to see all incoming
logs:
tail -f *.log |grep “norgint=2309”

How to analyze Topological Engine with Logs

Go to GlobalParam.ini to enable Topo module traces.

Once traces enabled, open latest file for topo computation TopoEngineConf.xml
(generated by EMO Studio) or execute below command:
tail -f topoengine.log

This command shows incoming messages of the topological engine. It might be

helpful to understand issues or the unexpected behaviors.

128 EMO L_UM_EN_V.1.4

Troubleshooting EcoStruxure™ Microgrid Operation Large

How to Analyze Settings Engine in Logs

Go to GlobalParam.ini to enable StaticData module traces.
Once traces enabled, open latest file for Static Data computation
StaticData_input.csv (generated by SCE) or execute below command:
tail -f StaticData.log
This command shows incoming messages of the static data engine. It might be
helpful to understand issues or the unexpected behaviors.

How to Simulate or Modify a Settings Engine value/time/quality tag

1. Go to /opt/schneider-electric/gateway/ to find STATIC_INPUTS.CSV file.
This is an example of a STATIC_INPUTS.CSV:

AI;1958;0;0.0;0;15/04/2019 15:55;0;0;process;StaticData;EMO_SITE | ST_01 | EMO_CONTROLLER | External SP | DER5_Setpoints | Q_Setpoint_Val

2. Header provides information about all attributes.

3. User with proper credential can modify fields such as value, time and quality.
4. Save file to consider modifications.
5. Once saved, modifications are instantly published on kernel to all subscribers.

Tips for Settings Engine

We have observed some difficulties with Static_Input file which lists all static
information in text file.
Issue appears when this file is manipulated under a windows environment and
brought back under Linux.
1. First, perform a dos2unix command to the file to be sure about the windows to
unix conversion.
2. Second, isolate a potential root cause on StaticData engine. To do so, change
the name of the Static_Input file, then restart. This forces EMO L Controller to
create a new default static_input file from scratch.
Now, search for any improvements.

Tips for Wireshark

For further analysis, it is highly recommended to use Wireshark network analyzer.
Based on constraints, please add some filtering such us Modbus, IEC 61850, IP
address.
This is really helpful for the support team to help troubleshooting issues.
To install Wireshark on EMO L Controller use tis command:

sudo apt-get install wireshark

Then, select YES to allow non-root users.
