OBJECTIVE

 To replace the existing environment monitoring system with Hawkeye 2.0 data centre monitoring system.

 Hawkeye 2.0 shall monitor all the currently monitored active metrics with digital dry contact interface.

 Hawkeye 2.0 shall monitor all the currently monitored active metrics with MODBUS High Level Interface of which
interfacing information available.
 Hawkeye 2.0 shall monitored newly replaced equipment such as UPS and PAC.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
THE CONCEPT OF IMPLEMENTATION
 The Hawkeye 2.0 take over process shall be gradually performed where the Hawkeye system shall be running in
parallel with the existing GE EMS monitoring system in the same network segment.
 The Hawkeye 2.0 system shall be operational as priority before any physical hardware replacement mentioned
below.
 New controllers and gateways hardware shall be IP based that operating within the same network segment as the
existing GE EMS system at Tower Block. The IP addresses assignment shall be agreeable by the network team to
avoid clashes.
 The interfacing cable (digital inputs and analogue inputs) shall be transferred gradually to new controllers.
 The High level interfacing (RS485, MODBUS RTU Protocol) shall be transferred to new gateways once the register
map has been confirmed and their functionality are verified.
 For those high level interface equipment without MODBUS register map information and unable to verify at site, the
monitoring will be remain with the GE monitoring system until they are being replaced eventually.

The Key of concept is to minimize the impact to operation as much as possible during the implementation. However,
occasional device offline will be inevitable during the replacement process.
CONCERNS AND LIMITATIONS
 There are existing controllers in CT4 Level 2 monitoring breaker statuses for UPS-SB-1 and UPS SB-2 that are
network connected but not monitored in GE monitoring system. Hawkeye 2.0 implementation will rectify it.
 There are existing controllers in CT4 Level 2 monitoring STS that are offline and but not monitored in GE monitoring
system. Hence, Hawkeye 2.0 will not monitor the existing STS.
 The PAC readings and statuses found to be stagnant even they are being disconnected during the cable tracing
event. Hawkeye 2.0 implementation will rectify this issue.
 Tower Block Level 8 PDU outgoings are monitored via CTs with raw current readings. The calculations of power
consumption, energy consumptions and load percentages are done in the GE monitoring system. With some budget
allocation, there are better product to improve in terms of accuracy. Hawkeye shall monitor the current
consumptions and calculate the load percentage.
 There are EPO switches located at CT4 level 2 EMS panel. There are risk of triggering them during the controller
replacement works. There are no wiring information, design drawings at site for reference.
 All the UPS at site are old units. There are neither MODBUS register information available at site nor from the
internet. We also unable to trace the settings from existing GE system. The UPS shall be continue monitored by GE
system until they are being replaced.

RISKS AND MITIGATIONS
Item Risks
1 IP Address clashes due to limited knowledge on existing
network connectivity and IP address assignment.
2 False alarms triggered during the implementation.
3 Power Tripping due to the installation work.
4 Lost of communication of existing EMS equipment.
5. EPO switches at CT4 level 2 – a risk of triggering as both
EPO switches are within the existing EMS panel.
6 Existing TB and CT4 EMS networks are separated.
Mitigations
The IP addresses list shall be agreeable before proceed with database.
Should clashes happened, the IP addresses can be alter with
subsequent modification at database level which we trying to avoid.
The stake holders will be informed prior to any work commencement and
notify during completion each day.
Isolate or turn off the incoming source of equipment that involving
dismantling, cable termination, cable management or continuity test.
The lost of communication during the new implementation is inevitable.
However, we shall minimize the risk with installation by stages (1
controller after another)
The EPO switch circuitry and single line diagram is required. Extra careful
and alert when managing the cables within EMS panel.
Network team to ensure the network are connected
