    System administrator roles and responsibilities The Entellisys™ Low Voltage Switchgear system requires a System Administrator for oversight of critical functions. Those critical functions are described in this guide. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities. The following chapters describe how to perform the functions, in detail. 1.1 Security Champion The most important role of the System Administrator is to control the access to the system.

  • Page 11: Commissioning The Switchgear

    Commissioning the switchgear Installing and starting up the switchgear is an important event for the System Administrator. The following steps must be followed when commissioning the switchgear. • Step 1: Reset Passwords. Passwords on page • Step 2: Set User Settings. See DEH-231 Entellisys Low Voltage Switchgear System User Manual.
  • Page 12 Commissioning the switchgear...

  • Page 13: Passwords

    Passwords 4.1 HMI permissions and passwords The Entellisys HMI requires a login name and password. This login sets the permissible actions for the session. Each user's permissions are programmable to provide flexibility. Only the Administrator can set permissions, login names, and passwords. CAUTION: Enabling Group Permissions for features that allow the changing of settings and/or access to control functions must be restricted to accounts for qualified personnel only.
  • Page 14 Once Groups are established, individual Users can be created. Users can have individual login names and passwords. Passwords consist of 3-20 alphanumeric characters. Both login names and passwords are case-insensitive. NOTE: There are three predefined Groups that cannot be modified. Beneath those Groups are two Users that are fixed and cannot be modified.

  • Page 15: Resetting Forgotten Hmi Passwords

    Losing the Administrator password will require a GE Field Service visit to reset it. GE offers an optional service to store the Administrator password at the request of customers. In the event the password is lost, GE can provide the password to the customer over the phone, without requiring a site visit.

  • Page 16: Modbus ® Security

    ® 4.2 Modbus security 4.2.1 Control and settings passwords The CPUs require extra passwords to change settings (i.e., Short Time pickup delay setting) and to send commands (i.e., Open Breaker command). These passwords apply to all clients that access the Entellisys system through Modbus communications including the Entellisys HMI, SCADA, or Building Automation, etc.

  • Page 17: Local Hmi

    To change the Settings and/or Command passwords 1. On the Main Menu, click the Maintenance button. The button will only be displayed if access is allowed with the current login permissions. 2. Click the Modbus Security tab. The Modbus Security screen has options to change both CPU A and CPU B Command and Settings passwords.
  • Page 18 Figure 4-6 Breaker Control screen • The CPU reserves a communication port for the HMI with the Local HMI flag set. The CPUs can support up to 8 simultaneous communication ports for Modbus clients. Once the limit is exceeded, clients will be blocked until a port is free. The Local HMI flag has special ports reserved for its use to prevent other clients from locking it out.

  • Page 19: Time Synchronization

    HMI will synchronize time to ensure the time in the two CPUs is consistent. Time synchronization configuration is done by GE during the system start up. NOTE: The System Administrator should periodically check the date and time set on all local HMIs to ensure the event time stamps are accurate.
