Pag. 21 di 80

The Instrument is equipped with two alarms that are triggered by a programmable threshold on anyone of the measured parameters.

The types of alarm available are: maximum, minimum and 1-of-3.

A minimum alarm is triggered when the selected parameter is lower than the alarm threshold.

A maximum alarm is triggered when the selected parameter exceeds the alarm threshold.

A 1-of-3 alarm is triggered when anyone of the phase readings, whichever the phase involved, trespasses the alarm threshold – this alarm can be either maximum or minimum. On a 1-of-3 current alarm, the threshold is expressed as percentage (rather than a value) that stands for the unbalance between the phases. The alarm therefore triggers when the percent difference between two of the three phases exceeds the threshold; it is calculated as 100 x (I max

– I min

)/I max

.

All alarms allow also the setting of an hysteresys and a delay time.

The hysteresys (in percent) sets the difference between the triggering threshold and the end threshold

(this prevents repeated alarm triggering when the reading oscillates around the trigger value). Example: a

5% hysteresys on a threshold of 100, triggers the alarm when the reading exceeds 100 but it will switch off the alarm when the reading becomes lower than 95.

The delay time sets a time delay for triggering on the alarm after its actual occurrence (or triggering off after its actual end).

The alarm setup procedure is activated from the output configuration screen or at the end of page configuration using the button or the

6 Instrument Description

6.1 Introduction

FLASH is a microprocessor based energy analyzer with high flexibility and accuracy.

The patented digital measuring system guarantees high performance with age and thermal stability. This is achieved through sophisticated strategies of automatic offset compensation - used throughout the measurement chain – and through a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) sampling probe.

The automatic rescaling feature on current inputs allows a wide measuring range - from 20mA to 6A in direct connection.

All “true-RMS” measures are obtained with continuous sampling of the voltage and current waveforms: this guarantees maximum accuracy even when rapidly changing loads are present (e.g. electric welding machines).

FLASH can be programmed to analyze three phase networks, both on three and four wires with low or high voltage with 1, 2 or 3 CTs in addition to single phase measurements. The option of setting any required conversion factor on the voltage and current inputs makes FLASH suitable for use in both high and low voltage networks.

It can measure the energy and the peak on the 4 quadrants (active, reactive and apparent).

The instrument firmware is kept in flash memory and can be updated through a serial port, using the same communication protocol. The upgrade uses special security provisions to ensure continued operations even in presence of communication failures.

All input, output, and power supply ports are electrically separated for maximum safety and noise reduction under any operating conditions.

The in-house testing and calibration process is completely automated: a conformity certificate and calibration report are supplied with each unit.

The custom designed LCD display has three 3 ½ digit lines and a 7 digit line and an extended symbol and character set, allowing the simultaneous display of 4 measurements. Three 11-segment bar graphs give immediate feedback on the overall measuring process.

The wide keyboard, with its 9 silicon rubber coated keys, clearly marked with function, allows a simple and intuitive use of the instrument.

FLASH is completely programmable, from either the keyboard or a PC remote connection (only for models with communication port). It is therefore the ideal solution for all the power measurement and management needs in the industrial environment.

The instrument is equipped with two optically insulated transistor driven outputs with capacity load of 27

Vdc 27 mA according to 43864 Din standard.

They can be used either as pulse output or as alarm and are fully programmable by the user on different parameters and with different pulse frequency and duration.

The factory setting is with one output is proportional to the active energy, while the other to the reactive energy and an output frequency of 1000 pulses per kWh (or kvarh) and 50 ms pulse time.

The pulses number is referred to the instrument end of range without the CT and VT scale factors.

6.2 Simplicity and versatility

Keyboard programming is extremely easy and allows setting of:

• Connection type (star and delta)

• Low Tension or Medium Tension

• Setting of CTs and VTs values (freely settable)

• Integration time (1-99 min.)

• RS485 features (speed, parity and data format)

• Alarm threshold for the Active Power.

• Analog

• Pulses

• ...and all other functions available

The sameFunctions can be programmed via PC

Pag. 34 di 80

6.3 Total harmonic distortion Measurement (THD)

The instrument gives an evaluation of the energy quality by sampling the total harmonic distortion of the 3 voltages and 3 currents.

These functions are extremely useful to control the quality of the energy supplied by the Public Utility, because of the large number of distorting loads in industrial plants.

Energy is displayed on a 6 digit display with floating point.

The energy counters are stored on counters with minimum definition equal to 0,1 kWh and maximum counting equal to 99.999.999,9 kWh.

8 counters are available +Ea, -Ea, ++Er, -+Er, +-Er, --Er, +Es, -Es on 4 total quadrants and for each one of the 8 tariff ranger

A red led is located on the instrument front panel pulsing with a 1000 pulse/kWh (or kvarh) and 50 ms pulse duration. The pulses number is referred to the instrument end of range without the CT and VT scale factors.

Outputs

The two outputs are (mostly) used as pulse output on active/reactive power or as output for the internal triggers. In other configurations, where the instruments is controlled – by a PC or PLC - through the RS485 port, the outputs can be used for signaling remote activation/deactivation.

The instrument, even in its basic version, is equipped with two transistor optically insulated outputs with capacity load of 27 Vdc 27 mA according to 43864 Din standard and output frequency of 1000 pulses per kWh (or kvarh) and 50 ms pulse time.

One output is proportional to the active energy while the other to the reactive energy.

The pulses number is referred to the instrument end of range without the CT and TV scale factors.

It is possible to program the output value either according to pulse number and pulse weight

6.8 Alarms

FLASH is triggered and programmed by switchboard and/or Holding registers with MODBUS protocol.

The advanced functions of the Energy Brain configuration software allow to customize each of the two alarms on any available parameter either as a minimum or max alarm. Two different thresholds of the same measurement can be programmed.

Minimum value and maximum value special alarms on voltage are available that can be applied on any of the three phases, one maximum value alarm on current that can be applied on any of the three phases and an unbalanced alarm on any of the three current phases.

A further flexibility in customization is provided by the possibility to program the alarm management through:

• Delay time (between 1 and 59 sec.) that is activation delay. Example: avoid alarms due to short signal peaks.

• Hysteresis, that is the cycle between the alarm activation value and the alarm deactivation value. It is an extremely useful function to avoid ringing and false triggering. Example: Current alarm set on

100A Max with 5% Hysteresis. The alarm is activated at 100 A and is deactivated at 95 A. The two alarms can be associated singularly to:

• Output relays. In this case the output relays are activated by the exceeded threshold

• RS485 data line. The relays are disabled and the alarm consolidation are disabled and the alarm condition is available as information on information on RS485. data line.

Pag. 35 di 80

6.9 Communication

The device can be connected to a PC through an optional RS485 or RS232 port using the MODBUS communication protocol (MODBUS, developed by AEG-MODICON, is a standard in the PLC industry and widely utilized by SCADA systems for industrial plants management).

Data read by the device can be read as the content of numeric registers, in the standard mantissa/exponent floating point IEEE format.

The communication port can be operated at any speed between 2400 bps through 38400 bps without wait states between 2 requests with a limitation on the number of registers equal to 124 registers (62 parameters)

When using the optional RS485 port, the connection uses a standard telephone pair without need of signal regeneration/amplification for distances up to 1,000 m. Up to 128 devices can be connected on the same network branch. Using line amplifiers, it is possible to connect up to 247 instruments or 1,000 m network segments.

6.10 Average and peak Energy

While the FLASH was designed to measure energy consumption (the so called import mode), it can be configured to work in import/export mode. When in import mode, the device automatically compensates wiring errors on CTs (e.g. for current flow). On the other hand, when in import/export mode, all the energy, average and peak counters are open for measurement in the four quadrants.

8.6.3 Sampling:

The signals to be measured are sampled with a sampling frequency

f c

equal to 64 times the network frequency

f

: shortly, the number of samples per wave is fixed at 64 even with frequency variation.

The sampling is continuous on all waveform. Every 10 wave the samples are passed to the calculation part and the sampling restart for the next 10 waves.

8.6.4 Grid frequency Measurement:

The minimum measurable frequency is about 38 Hz.

The A/D converter is stopped out of the range 45

÷ 65 Hz.

The frequency measurement is taken on phase L1 voltage.

The instrument can measure the fundamental frequency even in presence of very distorted waveforms and/or very low signal (few Volt).

8.7 Average values and energy Calculation.

8.7.1 Energy counting

FLASH is equipped with 8 “non volatile” energy counters which can count up to a maximum of 99999999.9 kWh (either kvarh or kVAh) with a resolution equal to 0.1 kWh (either kvarh or kVAh). The value of these counters can be read either by communication port or display. When the highest value 99999999.9 is reached, the counting starts again from zero (roll-over).

8.7.2 Average Powers / maximum demand (m/Max)

FLASH has a sliding window integrator which computes the average value of each of the 8 power measurements on an integration interval that is programmable in the range of 1 through 60 minutes in one minute steps.

The integration interval slides on the time axis in one minute intervals (when all the values of the measurements are updated).

The settings of the integration intervals are not memorized when the instrument is turned off. While the duration of the integration interval may differ from the HOLD period, the two intervals are both aligned on the minute boundary.

A command can be sent on the communication port to synchronize the HOLD period (and therefore of the minute boundary of the integration interval) with an external clock. The maximal value of each of the average power measurements is memorized in a nonvolatile register (maximum demand, MD).

Both the average and maximum demand values are available through the display and the communication port. A command can be sent (either from the keyboard or the communication port) to reset the maximum demand values to zero. Another command resets the average power values: it resets the measurements taken during the last integration interval, but not the measurements taken in the last minute (the step with which the integration window slides). This preserves the synchronization of the integration interval and of the HOLD interval on the minute boundary.

9 MODBUS Protocol

9.1 Foreword:

The instrument modbus protocol is implemented according to the document “MODBUS Application

Protocol Specification V1.1

”, available in www.modbus.org

.

The following “Public functions” are implemented:

Read

(0x02) Read Discrete Inputs

(0x03) Read Holding Registers

(0x04) Read Input Registers

(0x05) Write Single Coil

(0x06) Write Single Register

(0x07) Read Exception Status

(0x08)

(0x0F) Write Multiple Coils

(0x10) Write Multiple Registers

(0x11) Report Slave ID

Regarding the “Diagnostics” function, the following “Sub-functions” are implemented:

(0x0000) Return Query Data

(0x0001) Restart Communications Option

(0x0004) Force Listen Only Mode

The only implemented function “User Defined” is marked “Change Slave Address” (function code 0x42).

Through two coils named SWAP BYTES and SWAP WORDS, it is possible to modify the memory area organization where the modbus registers mapping are. The configuration [SWAP BYTES = FALSE, SWAP

WORDS = FALSE] correspond to a “Big-Endian” type organization (Motorola like): the most significant data byte whose size is bigger than byte is allocated at the lower address.

The order of the bigger than byte data transmitted on the serial line depend on the memory organization.

In the “Big-Endian” organization type, the most significant byte is the one transmitted first (standard modbus).

Vice versa, the configuration [SWAP BYTES = TRUE, SWAP WORDS = TRUE] corresponds to an “INTEL like” memory organization (the most significant byte at the higher address, that is less significant byte transmitted first on the serial line).

Note: In the released version, not all the listed commands are available, check in the following pages for availability.

The default configuration is “Big-Endian” (Motorola like) as the modbus standard specify and not “Little-

Endian” as the previous instruments.

NOT USED (1)

(1) Reading the coil the result is always 1.

(2) The command is triggered on the leading edge, that is when the coil is set to 1 (TRUE). It is not necessary to set the coil to 0 after setting it to 1.

(4) Negative logic, to be compatible with Kilo:

Coil = 1 Swap Bytes = Swap Words = FALSE (Motorola like, as Modbus standard)

Coil = 0 Swap Bytes = Swap Words = TRUE (Intel like).

The measurement resets “Swap Bytes” flag status (negative).

(5) If set to 1 (TRUE), it inverts the bytes order (or word order) respect to the Modbus standard (Motorola like).
