2023 220.70 Energy Management Systems (EMSs)

Energy management systems will almost certainly be the way of the future. Article 220 has acknowledged this in a surprising way in 220.70.

I just hope that there is a portion of the code update that addresses cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the EMS’s software (software patches, connectivity, access controls/management, etc.) These systems will be a boon to the industry, we just need to engage in mitigation of threats early in the lifecycle of these systems. Default passwords/usernames are a poison pill…

I remember when the Allen Bradley representative came to the 50 year old Smelter I worked at. The switch gear and distribution gear they brought to show off, looked like it came out of a spaceship, compared to what we used.

Will EMS panel boards be designed that if a module or switch fails -will it fail in the open or closed position?
