FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS?

CSMS is MonitEasy's Compact Substation Monitoring System — an Industrial IoT and AI-powered platform that unifies the transformer, Ring Main Unit, LV panel, power quality and environmental sensors of an 11kV/415V or 22kV/415V compact substation into one real-time cloud dashboard.

Can CSMS be retrofitted to an existing compact substation?

Yes. CSMS supports both new installations and retrofit deployment to existing indoor and outdoor kiosk-type compact substations, subject to a site assessment of the transformer, RMU and LV panel interfaces.

What voltage levels and transformer ratings does CSMS support?

CSMS is built for 11kV/415V and 22kV/415V compact substations with transformers rated up to 1 MVA.

Does CSMS support remote operation of substation equipment?

CSMS is a monitoring and predictive-diagnostics platform; any remote operation of switching or protection equipment depends on the installed RMU/LV panel interfaces and must stay within the site's approved control and safety procedures.

Can CSMS integrate with SCADA, BMS or ERP systems?

Yes, via API where the target system exposes a compatible interface. Integration scope with SCADA, BMS, EMS or ERP systems is confirmed during technical design using Modbus, IEC 61850, MQTT or OPC UA.

How is CSMS different from periodic substation inspection?

Periodic inspection captures a single point-in-time reading during scheduled visits. CSMS streams transformer, RMU, LV panel, power-quality and environmental data continuously and raises alerts as soon as a threshold is crossed, so degradation is caught between inspection cycles.
