Product Identification
Product Overview
The E30E Series panelboard monitoring system is designed to measure the current, voltage, and energy
consumption of up to 92 circuits (84 branch circuits, two 3-phase mains, two neutrals), enabling users to monitor
two panelboards or an entire data center PDU with a single product. It increases the board’s current monitoring
capability by combining the functions of two boards into one device.
The E30E consists of a data acquisition module and up to four branch current sensor strips, with eight auxiliary
inputs. The strips have rows of solid-core CTs and are mounted on each side of the panel board along the
termination points of each breaker. The conductor passes through the appropriate current sensor before
terminating at the breaker. Each strip transmits the current data to the data acquisition board. The E30E measures
both current and power for the mains and branch circuits. The E30E can easily accommodate dierent panel
congurations, including any combination of multi-phase breaker positions, voltage phase mapping, and breaker
sizes. To congure the E30E for operation, download the E3x Conguration Tool and the E3x Commissioning Guide
from www.veris.com.
Data is transmitted via ethernet with Modbus TCP, BACnet IP, or SNMP protocol, or via RS-485 with Modbus RTU or
BACnet MS/TP protocols. Some protocols can be used simultaneously, and the ethernet protocols all support access
by multiple masters. Each data acquisition board requires two Modbus addresses, one for each set of two current
sensor strips and four auxiliary inputs (2-strip models only require one Modbus address). Data is updated roughly
every two seconds. When a circuit exceeds the user-dened thresholds, the E30E activates the alarm indicators. The
communication interfaces and protocols require some conguration at the time of installation.

Power Monitoring
EESeries TM
The E30E provides several types of measurements that give a comprehensive view of power consumption for every load on the
panel:
• Real-time measurements: a live and up-to-date view of present power levels and the factors that aect them.
• Demand measurements: averages of values measured over a specied time interval. The time interval (typically 15
minutes) can be set from 10 seconds to more than a day. The demand calculation can be congured to use single
intervals or the sliding average of up to 6 sub-intervals. Demand measurements are useful for tracking or graphing
load levels over time to correlate with total energy consumption.
• Historic maximum measurements: these measurements store the largest value recorded for a specic measurement
since the last time they were cleared. They are useful for identifying peak levels critical to equipment sizing or demand
limits in utility agreements.
• Accumulated energy measurements: ongoing totals of cumulative energy used since the last time the value was
cleared. Energy values provide the informational basis for billing, cost allocation, carbon oset, BTU equivalent
calculations, and other applications of overall energy use.
• Energy snapshots: energy totals that only change when the demand intervals are updated. They are samples of the
free-running energy accumulators at the end of each demand interval, as congured by the user. These provide energy
readings that are easily correlated to the demand values to simplify the tasks of sub-billing and cost allocation.
• Alarms: provide a warning of excessively high or low current on each branch and aux channel. The user can set two
high-level and two low-level thresholds, and a delay time for latching alarms. Alarms are reported as both non-latched
events and latched events. Non-latching alarms are active while the current exceeds the threshold, but go inactive if
the current returns to a level within the specic thresholds. Latching alarms become active when the current exceeds
the threshold for a time period greater than the specied delay and remain active until they are cleared remotely.
Alarm status can be polled via any protocol. Via BACnet, Subscribe_COV can be used to generate alarm notications.
Via SNMP, alarms drive SNMP event notications.
Advanced Features - The E30E supports a number of of advanced features. Some are always active, and others are congured
manually via Modbus register 62017, BACnet object AV164, or SNMP MIB variable “spanels/panel1/p1Conguration/p1Setup/
p1UserDenedSettings” (OID .1.3.6.1 .4.1.40845.1.30.1.1.6.3.4.0). For models with 42 channels or more, these features are
congured independently for each panel.
• Logical Circuit support: The E30E can be congured to map any set of 1, 2 or 3 channels that are adjacent in the panel
to a logical circuit that provides accurate multi-phase measurement totals. Map these logical circuits by writing the
desired logical circuit number into a set of registers/data objects provided for each branch and aux channel (per panel).
The channels assigned to each logical circuit must be adjacent in the panel (usually used for multi-phase breakers), but
there are no limitations on where those adjacent channels are aligned in the panel (any position where a multi-phase
breaker can be installed). This functionality is always active, but a user selection aects the how the data can be
accessed via Modbus. Measurement data via Modbus for logical circuits is presented in two ways, arranged either by
logical circuit number (looks more like a collection of individual meters) or by measurement type (arranged similar to
the single-phase data section of the point map).
• Legacy point map or alternate logical circuit point map: The E30E can be congured to select a preferred version of
the Modbus registers in the address range 4000 to 9999. If enabled (default), the logical circuits by measurement type
is active. Otherwise, the legacy point maps for 2-phase and 3-phase breakers used in older E3x models is active. The
logical circuits functionality can also be accessed via the “Logical Circuits by Circuit” section of the point map (address
range 10000 to 45000), regardless of the state of this selection.
• Phase angle measurements: The E30E measures the phase angle of every voltage and current input and presents these
measurements (in degrees) in additional data registers/objects. These values are used to verify that current inputs are
assigned to the proper voltage phases and to help determine how power factor variations are inuenced by current
phase changes vs. harmonic distortion. Phase angle measurements are instantaneous and always active.
• User CT phase assignment: In the default mode, the E30E assigns each channel to the corresponding phase that most
3-phase panels implement, so that the user does not have worry about it. The user can opt to replace this self-
assignment paradigm with a mode that allows explicit specication of the phase assignment for each channel. The
explicit assignments set by the user are stored by the E30E in non-volatile memory.
• Phase angle reference: The E30E measures the phase angle of every current and voltage input. The user can select
whether the phase angles are stated relative to an absolute reference (the phase angle of voltage input V1) or relative
to the voltage phase assigned to that specic current input channel.
• Signed power factor: By default the E30E reports power factor as an unsigned value. The user can set it to report as a
signed value, where the sign indicates whether the current phase angle leads or lags the corresponding voltage phase.

• Demand/snapshot time interval source: The E30E oers two mechanisms for driving the demand/snapshot time
interval, an interval timer or an RTC (real-time clock). The legacy mode (default) uses an interval timer that does not
need to be set to an absolute time. When using the interval timer the demand/snapshot interval can be set from
10 to 32767 seconds (over 9 hours). An alternate mode utilizes an RTC set to a specic date and time to synchronize
the results with a larger system. The RTC must rst be set in order to run and capture demand values and energy
snapshots. When power is interrupted, the RTC resets to a default date and time and must be set again in order to run.
When using the RTC, the demand/snapshot interval can be set from 10 to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

Installation Observe precautions for handling static sensitive
devices to avoid damage to the circuitry that
is not covered under the factory warranty.
Disconnect power to the panel before beginning the installation.
1. Locate a surface inside the electrical enclosure to mount the E30E. Decide whether to mount the E30E vertically or horizontally.
The E30E is shipped with the brackets placed for vertical mounting. If mounting horizontally, loosen the screws on the sides
of the E30E that hold the brackets in place (do not fully remove the screws from the E30E housing). Loosen the screws on the
other two sides of the housing (do not fully remove the screws from the E30E housing), and set the brackets into their new
positions. Tighten all screws.
Vertical Mounting Horizontal Mounting
2. Install the current sensor strips into the panel. Arrange the sensor strips in one of the four congurations shown below.
Adjust orientation of the circuit numbers in the eld during commissioning by writing to Modbus Register 6 or use the
free conguration software at www.veris.com. The examples in this graphic show the 21 current sensor strips. The same
conguration options are available for the 18 and 12 current sensor strips.

to simplify daisy-chain connections and enable retention of each wire. Follow all applicable wiring and termination
connection guidelines for the standard in use. Note that while both the the Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP standards identify
requirements for RS-485 line polarization/bias and termination, the value and placement of these resistors varies for each
standard. The E30E does not implement any RS-485 line polarization/bias or termination internally. For the RS-485 cable,
use shielded, twisted-pair wire, such as Belden 1120A, that is voltage-rated for the installation. The shield is not internally
connected to Earth Ground. Connect the shield to Earth Ground somewhere on the RS-485 bus (single point connection only).

Using the GUI to Set the Configuration Parameters for the Communication Protocols
Access the GUI according the instructions in the “Accessing the Graphical User Interface (GUI)” section.
The home screen on the GUI provides elds for conguration of the E30E. The E30E has four primary modes of operation, each of
which support a dierent combination of protocols. Each option eld has a Submit button to the right. When changing the value
in any eld, click Submit to store the new value. The GUI prompts the user to restart the system. If multiple values are changed,
it is easiest to submit all changes and restart only once when nished with the whole screen. To restart, click the System Restart
button in the row at the bottom of the screen. The restart takes several seconds, during which the server may lose its connection.
Messages appear at the top of the screen indicating current status, but do not perform any actions. Simply allow the tool to
complete the restart cycle.
The rst selection in the GUI is Operating_Mode, which has two choices:
1. Locked: used for all normal product operation. It is provided as a tool for high-level technical support. The gateway retains
its current prole conguration when powered.
2. Discovery mode (default): deletes proles and rediscovers them when the device is powered again. The results are the same,
unless the prole conguration is intentionally altered. Prole selection and discovery are especially important when using
BACnet or SNMP protocols. For normal operation, always use discovery mode.
The second selection in the GUI is Protocol_Mode, used to select the combination of protocols the product communicates with.
The E30E supports ve protocols, some of which can operate simultaneously. The table below shows what protocols are supported
in each mode.
Protocol Mode Primary Protocol Ethernet Protocol RS-485 Protocol
1 BACnet MS/TP Modbus TCP BACnet MS/TP
2 BACnet IP BACnet IP/Modbus TCP Modbus RTU
3 SNMP SNMP/Modbus TCP Modbus RTU
4 Modbus Modbus TCP Modbus RTU
To select a primary protocol mode, enter the corresponding number into the text eld adjacent to the Primary Protocol option
and click the Submit button to the left of the text eld. A prompt appears at the top of the screen instructing the user to restart
the system. When nished, the screen refreshes itself with the appropriate elds for the selected mode.
The next GUI selection, in any protocol mode, is the Upstream_Baud rate selection. If you have selected BACnet MS/TP (mode 1) as
the primary protocol mode, this value sets the MS/TP baud rate. If you have selected modes 2 or 3 as the primary protocol mode,
you may not be using the RS-485 interface at all. If so, this setting can be ignored.
If you have selected BACnet IP, SNMP or Modbus mode, the next selection is Modbus_Parity, which sets the parity of the upstream
serial connection. If using Modbus RTU protocol, set this to match your Modbus master. If not, ignore this eld.

The following sections show the eld selections (with factory default values) specic to each of the four Protocol_Modes.
1. BACnet MS/TP mode
The rst three options are discussed previously.
The DeviceID_Oset parameter is used to assign Device_IDs on power-up or on restart until they have been overwritten via
BACnet. Enter a dierent value here and click submit. The new value is rst used at the next power-up or system restart. Valid
Device_ID numbers range from 1 to 4194303. Since the numbers assigned during discovery are the sum of the Oset and the
Modbus address (which can be any value from 1-255), the Oset values entered in the GUI must be no larger than 4194055.
The E30E gateway creates a BACnet virtual router and separate BACnet devices for each 42-channel meter panel behind this virtual
router, allowing the devices to be discoverable and independently accessed via BACnet, even if the virtual router is connected by
MS/TP, using a single MAC address. To use this product with MS/TP, the BACnet system must support the discovery and use of a
BACnet router on the MS/TP trunk and any devices beyond it. This virtual router creates an exclusive BACnet network on which
the meter’s BACnet devices reside. This network must have a BACnet network number that is dierent from any other networks in
the entire BACnet enterprise. When multiple E30E products are added anywhere in the enterprise, each one must have a unique
network number. Failure to set an exclusive value in this eld causes communication conicts in the BACnet system.
Enter a non-conicting value here and click submit. Valid network numbers range from 1 to 65534; if other values are entered,
the network number defaults to 5. The new value is rst used at the next power-up or system restart. If using an external BACnet
router to connect the E30E as an MS/TP device, it is recommended that the router also be restarted after the E30E has completed
discovery, when the network number is changed.
The next eld for the BACnet MS/TP protocol mode is the MSTP_Max_Master, which allows this value to be set prior to using
BACnet software to access the E30E. The default value of 127 works regardless of the addresses the MS/TP network uses, but
selecting a lower value may optimize the network. Do not set this value lower than the highest address on the network. To set this
value via BACnet, write to the Max_Master property of the device object for the E30E’s virtual router.
The nal eld is the MSTP_MAC_Addr, which sets the MAC address for the virtual router. The E30E panel(s) are devices on the
internal BACnet network and are not directly addressable as MAC addresses on the MS/TP network.

2. BACnet IP mode
BACnet IP mode uses the same DeviceID_Oset and Virt_Router_Net parameters described above for BACnet MS/TP mode. One
additional parameter, BACnet_IP_Port, is used to set the UDP port. Most BACnet systems use the default port (47808 decimal,
0xBAC0 hex) that is recommended in the BACnet standard as the only UDP port. Some large systems need to segment the
enterprise and use more than port. If so, enter the number of the port you need to use to access this device. BACnet IP mode does
not use MSTP_Max_Master or MSTP_MAC_Addr.
BACnet IP mode adds another eld called BBMD_Enable. See the section BBMD Support for a full description of how to enable and
use BBMD support.

3. SNMP mode
SNMP mode uses two unique parameters. The SNMP_Community string is used to control access to the device. Whatever value
entered must be used in the MIB browser or SNMP access software to communicate with this device.
The last parameter, SNMP_Notif_IP is used to set the IP address of the client that used to receive SNMP event notications, such as
alarms.

BACnet Network Management – Important Steps to Avoid Conflicts
BACnet conguration uses two default settings that might need to be changed, depending on the application.
a. Virtual router network ID number. Every logical network segment (IP subnet, MS/TP trunk, etc.) in an entire system must
have a (16-bit) network ID number that is unique from all other BACnet networks in the enterprise. The BACnet network
administrator assigns this network ID so that no two ID numbers conict (whether using BACnet/IP or MS/TP). Within each
segment, every device is physically identied by the combination of its 8-bit MAC address and the 16-bit network ID number.
To support multiple meter panels (panel 1 and panel 2 are separate) with a single gateway, the E30E creates a virtual BACnet
router that presents multiple BACnet devices using a single (its own) MS/TP MAC address. Each E30E must have its own
(internal) network ID, and it creates a device object for itself and one for each Modbus address discovered.
The factory default network address is 50 (decimal). If that number is already in use in the system, assign a unique address
using the graphical user interface (GUI) on the built-in web server (this requires an ethernet connection to a web browser; see
BACnet/IP Setup section for instructions on changing conguration settings using the GUI). Valid network numbers range from
1 to 65534; if other values are entered, the network number defaults to 5.
b. Device_ID Offset. Every BACnet device must have a BACnet Device_ID number that is unique throughout the entire enterprise.
Since the E30E presents every Modbus meter as a BACnet device, each connected meter that has a Modbus address must have a
BACnet Device_ID.
By default, each device discovered receives a Device_ID number that is the sum of an oset value (default is 50000) and the
Modbus address of the device. If these Device_ID numbers cause a conict with existing devices in the system, or if the system
includes multiple E30E Series, change the Device_ID numbers before connecting the E30E to the system. This can be managed
one of two ways:
i. Connect to the E30E directly (oine from the system) with the devices (meters). After the E30E discovers the devices
and assigns their default ID numbers, the user can choose new Device_ID values and write these to each device using
BACnet software. Subsequent discoveries will not overwrite these values with defaults even if the E30E is then set to
Discovery mode.
ii. Use the GUI on the built-in web server to modify the oset value used to calculate default Device_IDs in the discovery
process (this requires an ethernet connection to a web browser; see BACnet/IP Setup section for instructions on changing
conguration settings using the GUI). The E30E retains this oset value and uses it to assign Device_ID numbers every
time power is cycled if the E30E is in Discovery mode. Valid Device_ID numbers range from 1 to 4194303. Since the
numbers assigned during discovery are the sum of the Oset and the Modbus address (which can be any value from
1-255), any Oset values entered in the GUI must be less than 4194055.
