Signature System Setup

The Signature System is a new vision for distributed electric power information systems.

It is based on a few simple premises: Capture all data.

Convert the data to information. Manage the information while saving the data. Move the information to those who need it, when they need it. Share the information. Provide answers, not just data. Eliminate installed software. And use the Internet.

A typical Signature System is built from several

DataNodes, plus one or more InfoNodes equipped with a selection of Answer Modules. Large Signature Systems may also include NodeLink or NodeCenter, a powerful suite of server-based management analysis tools for enterprise-wide systems.

Series 5500 Overview 1

DataNodes gather readings from circuits and processes.

Inexpensive, small and easy to install, DataNodes have the intelligence to convert raw readings into useful data.

They communicate their data to InfoNodes through RS-

485 or Ethernet links.

InfoNodes gather DataNode data, convert the data to information, manage and present the information. They form the central component of the whole Signature

System. InfoNodes are equipped with Answer Modules which convert information into application-specific answers using patented and proprietary expertise developed by Electrotek Concepts, Electric Power

Research Institute (EPRI) and Dranetz-BMI. These plugin application-specific answers will cover applications from identifying power disturbance origins, to reporting based on evolving standards, to predicting maintenance schedules at substations.

Signature System Architecture: A Conceptual Illustration


1-1

1 Series 5500 Overview

1-2

The Series 5500 InfoNode

InfoNode: The Central Component

The InfoNode is the central component of the Signature

System, “the System that Learns from the Past, to Inform

You in the Present, and Prevents Problems in the

Future.” The Signature System consists of one or more

DataNodes (the data acquisition modules), connected to an InfoNode (the data storage and analysis module).

Optionally, the data and information from multiple

InfoNodes can be combined at the enterprise level using the NodeLink or NodeCenter software. InfoNodes can be accessed through either LAN or modem connections. See

Chapter 14 Specifications for a detailed description of the

InfoNode hardware.

The InfoNode provides the user interface through a selfcontained web server. This frees the user from having to load software onto the user's PC or laptop. Access is possible from anywhere in the world, through the

Intranet, Internet, or via a modem, with only a standard web browser (Microsoft ® Internet Explorer V5.5 or higher or Netscape ® Navigator 6.x or higher running the

Sun Java Virtual Machine 1.3.x or higher (Sun Java VM

1.4.x is recommended)). Earlier versions of Netscape that use the Netscape Java VM are no longer supported.

Access time is dependent primarily on the communication media, with a direct network connection being the fastest.

The InfoNode can also provide GPS time synchronization to the DataNodes with the optional GPS module.

Some of the most important options are the software

Answer Modules. These options can be part of the initial purchase or easily added later. Data from one or more

DataNodes is analyzed to provide such answers as the direction of the PF cap switching transient (upstream or downstream), sag directivity, location of faults on radial feeders, reliability-benchmark indices for power quality, and different characterizations of data, such as QOS

(Quality of Supply), IEEE 1159, EPRI DPQ.

Signature System InfoNode Graphical User

Interface

The InfoNode user interface consists of a series of tab pages. The pages are labelled as follows: Home, Views,

Views Page

Views Page

The Views page offers three ways to display data sourced from the DataNode settings. First is through the

QOS Status which displays data relative to quality of supply compliance. QOS Status appears in InfoNode systems that have 5560 DataNode in use. See page 10-4 for information on QOS Status. Second is through

Timeline, featuring graphs of user-selected parameters over user-selected time periods. Third is through the

Smart Views featuring different views of data that have been pre-filtered or specified based on typical uses of other Dranetz-BMI products. These include magnitudeversus-duration graphs, lists of all events or only those events that are classified by IEEE 1159 as RMS variations or transients.

The left window pane contains the tree directory which presents the QOS Status (if 5560 DataNode is in use, see page 10-4), Timeline, Smart Views and Help options.

Clicking on any Timeline or Smart View option will direct you to a common Query Section screen. The

Query section is used to select which specific DataNode you want to view as well as the Time/Date Range when that particular DataNode information was captured. Once you have made those selections, click on either the

Display or Display in New Window button to view the information that you are interested in.

The Timeline option displays a graph of user-selected parameters over a user-selected time period. For some parameters, the minimum, maximum and average values are plotted, along with event markers that indicate detailed waveform information also available at that specific time.

The lower portion of the screen displays a list of events recorded over that time period.

Smart Views are similar to Reports of the same name, except that they are designed to be viewed onscreen instead of printed out. Smart Views selections include: 3D

Event List/Detail

The Event List shows a tabular display of the limit crossing or threshold triggered events that are displayed in the timeline (see display screen below). The data associated with an event depends on the type of DataNode and type of event. Key features of the Event List/ Detail include:

1. The Event List table shows the Time/date of the event,

Event Type, Channel (phase), and Characteristic (description) of the event. The description may contain additional information, such as minimum/maximum values, duration, frequency and category.

2. Events are listed from most recent to oldest.

NOTE: If there are a very large number of events in the range selected, only the most recent 250 events are listed.

3. To step through the events or to jump to the start or end of the list, click on the arrow keys in the upper right hand corner of the list. Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to pan through the Event Listing table. Click on the field descriptor on the top of the table to sort by that particular field, instead of chronological order.

4. If there are Event Details or waveforms associated with those events, they can be displayed in additional tabs. Double click on the row containing the event of interest. This will produce additional tabs showing the event details.

Smart Views

There are a number of different views of the data that have been specified by type. These include magnitude-versusduration graphs, lists of all of the events, or lists of events that are classified by IEEE 1159 as RMS variations or transients. The same Query Section in the Timeline appears to allow you to select what date/time range and which

DataNodes are to be included in the views.

3D RMS Mag/Dur View

3-D Mag-dur graphs show the number of RMS variations of a specified range of magnitude and duration, also called bins. For example, an RMS variation with a magnitude of 80-90% of nominal and 1-5 cycles in duration is one bin, whereas 80-90% and 10-30 cycles is another, 70-80% and 10-30 cycles is another, and so on. Each time that the characteristics of an RMS variation match the criteria of the bin, the counter is incremented. Certain types of phenomena are typically found in certain bin groupings such as: sags cleared by fuses versus sags cleared by breaker operations; versus sags caused by the starting of large horsepower motors; versus the swells caused by loads being turned off and the response time of the automatic tap changer. In the 3-D mag dur graph, it is a quick visual way to see what category most of the disturbances fall into. This helps determine the source of the disturbance.

RMS Mag/Dur View

The RMS Magnitude-and-Duration graph is a plot of the magnitude of the event versus duration of the event with the time plotted on a logarithmic scale. A data point is plotted for each event and the graph is overlaid with equipment susceptible or safe-operating type curves, such as the ITIC curve or CBEMA. Events that fall between the two curves will not usually cause equipment to malfunction (equipment with a similar set of susceptibles to those used to develop the curve), whereas those outside the limits are likely to cause problems.

Some answer modules provide information via a separate report. Other answer modules may just add characteristics to the events that are displayed in the event summary table, such as direction of disturbance. Answer Modules that create a separate report will be covered in this section.

RMS Variation Indices

The query information required for the RMS Variation Indices is very similar to all other reports. First, select the

DataNode of interest and then select the time range. The query setup for this report requires that two additional parameters be set. The query setup specific to this report is shown below.

Setup Screen for RMS Variation Indices Report

Monitoring Days Method

Many of the EPRI RBM RMS variation indices provide frequency of occurrence information or rates of occurrence. The

EPRI RBM technical report, TR-107938, discusses in detail the necessity of normalizing these rates based on the data upon which the indices are calculated. There are two normalization methods: “Estimated” and “None (No

Normalization)”.

Estimated

The "Estimated" normalization method algorithm estimates the number of days a monitor is considered on-line by calculating the number of days between the 'From' and 'To' dates specified on the Date and Time Selection of the report setup.

None (No Normalization)

The "No Normalization" method results in a count rather than a rate. Thus, all frequency of occurrence indices calculated using this normalization method are counts of all aggregate measurements occurring during the specified time period.

Index Normalization Setup

The Normalization Rate control designates the time period (number of day's data) to which the rate indices are normalized. If the Normalization Method control is set to “None”, there is no rate used so the Rate control is disabled.

SMARFI - System Momentary Average RMS (Variation) Frequency Index

STARFI - System Temporary Average RMS (Variation) Frequency Index

This report has a different query setup than the standard query setup. This report is produced for defined instrument pairs. The instrument pairs were created under the Setup tab for the UPS Verification Answer Module. The query setup for the UPS Verification report is shown above.

As with other reports, a date range or a start and end time need to be specified. However, for the UPS report instead of selecting an instrument, the user selects one or more instrument pairs.

The purpose of the UPS Verification Answer Module is to verify that the UPS or another mitigation device is functioning properly. A UPS DataNode pair consists of a DataNode monitoring the input of the UPS and another DataNode monitoring the output of the UPS. This was designed to be done with DataNodes that support cross-triggering. If the

UPS is functioning properly, the DataNode at the UPS output will only see cross-triggered events. If the DataNodes being used do not support cross-triggering, then no event should be seen on the output DataNode. However, without cross-triggering, the absence of an event is not conclusive. The status determined by the UPS Verification Answer

Module may be one of the following:


Reports Page

5

PASS

The UPS DataNode Pair has a status of PASS when an event is seen at the input DataNode, and only the cross-triggered event is seen on the output. The UPS has been determined to be functioning properly, as the disturbance on the input was not seen on the output.

FAIL

The UPS DataNode Pair has a status of FAIL when an event is seen at the input DataNode, and a disturbance event is also seen on the output DataNode within the time window defined at setup. The UPS has been determined to be not functioning properly.

Indeterminate

The UPS DataNode Pair has a status of Indeterminate when an event is seen at the input DataNode, and no event is seen on the output DataNode. The status is Indeterminate because no cross-triggered event was seen to verify that the output

DataNode itself is functioning correctly.

The report consists of a table with event summary information for both the input and output DataNodes of the UPS Pairs and status information. The report also contains a Mag/Dur plot with data from both DataNode marked separately. A sample report can be seen below.

Fault Location

This report requires no additional query parameters. It allows for the selection of multiple DataNodes. The information required for this Answer Module can be seen in page 7-24 of Chapter 7 Setup Page. The module computes distance-tofault for all possible balance and unbalance faults, i.e. three-phase fault; single-line-to-ground (SLG) fault of phases A,

B, and C; double-line-to-ground (DLG) faults of phases AB, BC, and CA; and line-to-line-to-ground (LLG) of phases

AB, BC, and CA. Thus, there are ten types of faults considered. The distance-to-faults are estimated using two different equations; therefore, there are two estimates (lower and upper) for each fault type. A sample report is shown below.

Data

Data setup allows you to specify the number of additional days to keep each data type (Keep event data, Keep periodic

data, Keep summary data) before purging. When the InfoNode becomes full, it purges data in a first-in-first-out order.

This feature allows you to prioritize the order in which data is purged. The number of days to keep data values are used to bias the purge time of each type of data respectively. In an InfoNode with sufficient storage, this results in the lifetime of one type of data being extended by the specified number of days relative to other data types. The InfoNode always purges old data when it needs space for new data. Consequently, the lifetime of data is only extended by the specified number of days when sufficient storage is available. The purge time for data is biased and stored when the data is saved.

Changes to the bias values are not applied to previously stored data.

The Data setup also allows you to remove data stored in the InfoNode. Select any one or a combination of DataNodes opposite Remove data from DataNodes. Specify the date and time range when you want the data removed from the

DataNodes using Remove data at or later than or Remove data earlier than. Choose one or more data types to remove

(Remove event data, Remove periodic data, Remove summary data). Once the data removal selection is specified, check the Enable data removal property and save the properties to start removing data. When data removal is in progress, all selection fields are disabled. You can stop data removal by clearing the Enable data removal property and saving the properties. Data removal can be a long process, particularly in a busy InfoNode with large amounts of data. Refresh the

Data tab to see if data removal is complete.

ADAM 4060 tab

The ADAM 4060 relay contact closure module is used to signal notifications to a third-party system (i.e. SCADA,

BMS-Building Management System, etc.) that can only accept relay contacts as input. This portion of the setup allows for global setup of the properties that will be common to all uses of the single 4060 allowed on the system.

The Hex (Hexadecimal) Address property specifies the address of the 4060. The Contact Logic property allows specification of the logic "sense" of the messages to be sent. The default value of "Positive" (or Normally Open) means that a logical value of "1" is a closed contact and a logical "0" is an open contact. "Negative" (or Normally Closed) logic means the opposite: logical "1" is an open contact and logical "0" is closed. The Contact Pulse Time specifies how long the contacts should be actuated to signal the notification. See the ADAM 4060 tab setup screen on page 7-13.

ADAM 4060 tab

Operation of the ADAM 4060

The ADAM communications handler is available to all parts of the InfoNode system through the Communications

Manager. The handler is configured to use a specific serial port on the InfoNode. When a request for connection to an

ADAM module is received, the handler attempts to open the specified port at 9600, 8, N, 1.

Once a connection is made, the application may issue commands that send data to the 4060 based on the logic sense and contact pulse time parameters. The connection attempts to verify that the command is completed. If the module reports an error condition, the error condition is reported back as part of the function return. If positive or if no response is detected, the connection attempts to restore the relay state to ‘normal’, 0 for positive logic and 1 for negative.

ADAM Instrument Handler Setup

See Chapter 12 ADAM Handler Setup for a detailed discussion on how to set up the individual InfoNode ADAM instrument handler. Programming of individual modules are accomplished via switch settings on the modules themselves.

MMS

MMS or Manufacturing Messaging Specification is where communications address settings for the InfoNode are configured. The MMS protocol is used for connections to UCA compliant devices such as the Signature System 5520, 5530 and 5560 DataNodes. The InfoNode also accepts incoming MMS connections for system discovery functions.

MMS contains the following property settings:

InfoNode NSAP refers to the OSI network address. This value is the equivalent of the IP address for the InfoNode or OSI networks. This value is not used and is removed as of firmware version 3.0.11.

InfoNode PSEL stands for Presentation Selector with default value 00 00 00 01.

InfoNode SSEL refers to Session Selector with default value 00 01.

InfoNode TSEL means Transport Selector with default value 00 01.

In general, you do not need to change the MMS settings from their default settings. The PSEL, SSEL, and TSEL values of the InfoNode must match those of the DataNode that the InfoNode communicates with. A mismatch results in

“Connection Failures”.

NET ISP Setup tab

The InfoNode uses the PAP protocol for PPP dial-up connection authentication. This is a simple, unencrypted authentication protocol. It is more secure than the standard web page authentication but less secure than an encryption based PPP authentication protocol. You must therefore use an ISP that supports PPP dial-up accounts that allow PAP authentication.

Most ISPs permit PAP authentication.

Windows 2000 server is used by some enterprises to provide remote access. Windows 2000 defaults to a very secure configuration and hence does not support PAP authentication by default.

To enable PAP authentication on Windows 2000 server, there are several configuration options that must be set:

· PAP must be enabled in the Routing and Remote Access Service management console for the RRAS server

· PAP must be enabled in the RRAS policy object in the RRAS management console

· Clear text authentication must be permitted in the RRAS policy object

Only when PAP is enabled in all three places will a Windows 2000 RRAS server authenticate a PAP authenticated PPP login. In addition to this, you must specify the login ID in the InfoNode using DOMAIN\ UserID notation for PAP authenticated logins to a Windows 2000 RRAS server. This is described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at http://support.microsoft.com.

Answer Module

Answer Modules provide different types of reports that answer specific questions about data, such as whether the transient event was caused by a PF capacitor switching and whether the event occurred upstream or downstream from the monitoring point. The list of Answer Modules depends upon which optional modules were purchased and installed on the InfoNode. The minimum required InfoNode firmware version for the Graphical Interface Display (one-line)

AnswerModule is V3.2.

Basic Characterizer

Enables automatic detection of voltage sags which are often the most common type of power disturbance. Once detected, the Answer Module characterizes the sag. This Answer Module is the general and/or basic characterizer of the data. It characterizes RMS events as sags, swells, or interruptions. This Answer Module characterizes data based upon categories. The default settings of the categories are based on IEEE 1159 guide for characterizing power quality events, and these default settings can be seen in the figure next page.

The number in the magnitude column represents the range of values starting from that number up to but not including the number in the cell above it.

For RMS Variations, the categories do not necessarily represent a continuum; they are simply numbers that represent non-overlapping rectangles in mag/dur space. The categories generally represent increased risk of equipment malfunction. Note that Category 8 (swells) only stops at 125% for display purposes and in reality represents any swell greater than 105%.

For Transient Variations, the categories represent a continuum of peak transient over voltage. Note that Category 7 only stops at 205% for display purposes and in reality represents any transient with a peak magnitude greater than 190%

Aggregation Parameters

The RBM Answer Module is an RMS Variation Index. The setup for this Answer Module consists of setting up aggregation parameters. At different times it may be necessary to either break apart measurements into measurement components or combine them through aggregation. The setup required for aggregation can be seen below.

Setup screen for RBM Aggregation Parameters

Characterization Level

· Phase Aggregation

The most basic of the three aggregation levels is phase aggregation. This characterizes the data in such a way that all of the phases are analyzed. Measurement components are the constituent recordings of a three-phase measurement. By definition, measurement components are single-phase. The process of phase aggregation entails finding the worst-case of a series of measurement components associated with a single phase or channel.

· Measurement Aggregation

Measurement aggregation represents all of the data from all phases of a measurement by the characteristics of the worstcase phase. An event determined by measurement aggregation is a combination of measurement components.

· Temporal Aggregation

The goal of temporal aggregation is to collect all measurements taken by a monitoring instrument or instruments that were due to the same power system occurrence, and identify them as one event.

Aggregation Time

This control specifies the width of the temporal aggregation window (in seconds). Selecting one of the pre-defined intervals from the drop-down list sets the aggregation window.

Aggregation Window Type

· Fixed

When a "Fixed" aggregation window type is specified, the length of the aggregation window is fixed by the aggregation time. Thus, all measurements occurring within the specified number of seconds are aggregated.

· Variable

When a "Variable" aggregation window is specified, the length of the aggregation window is not fixed and is determined by how closely the events occur to each other in time.

Worst Case Method

The Worst Case Method control allows the user to specify which measurement component characteristics are used to represent the aggregated measurement. A popular method of performing phase aggregation is by finding the "worst-case" measurement component from the measurement components associated with that phase.

· Max V Deviation

Using this method, the component exhibiting the maximum deviation from nominal voltage is used to represent the aggregate measurement. Thus, the sag or swell that deviates the farthest in absolute value from nominal voltage (1.0 per unit) is selected.


Setup Page

7

· Max Area

Using this method, the component exhibiting the maximum product of voltage deviation and duration from within tolerance is used to represent the aggregate measurement. Thus, the sag or swell that has the largest volt-seconds area deviation from nominal voltage is selected.

· Min V

Using this method, the component exhibiting the minimum voltage is used to represent the aggregate measurement.

Thus, the largest sag is selected.

· Max V

Using this method, the component exhibiting the maximum voltage is used to represent the aggregate measurement.

Thus, the largest swell is selected.

DataNodes

DataNodes, being the frontline, data-acquisition component of the Signature System, are available in various models and configurations. The setup of a DataNode is dependent on the DataNode type. Click on DataNodes in the left frame to view the different DataNode types that the InfoNode currently supports. The current list consists of the following:

5530/5520 DataNode

The 5530/5520 belong to the Enhanced Power Quality

(EPQ) family of DataNodes. EPQ DataNode is available in three model types: Model 5530, Model 5520, and

Model 5510. They are designed to do comprehensive and

PQ-optimized acquisition of power quality related disturbances and events. The salient features of EPQ Datanode include voltage and current trigger and capture mechanisms, increased system performance allowing users to identify data of interest and to record only that data, cross-triggering feature that permits linking of many

DataNodes, and TCP/IP Ethernet communications.

5540 DataNode

The 5540 is known as the Energy Management (EM)

DataNode. It is designed to help users manage their energy consumption. The 5540 is equipped with a 3-line LED display for viewing all measured parameters without the use of a computer. Among the more important parameters it can measure are true RMS voltage and current, kW, kVA, power factor, frequency, kWh, and kVAR. Energy data from the 5540 EM DataNode can be viewed in real time by multiple users using Signature System InfoNode via a standard web browser.

5560 DataNode

The 5560, also known as Quality of Supply (QOS)

DataNode, is designed to monitor quality of supply compliance as specified by European Standard EN50160.

It can be set in Strict compliance with EN50160 or can be customized using Custom setups. Under Strict compliance, only the General and Basic tabs are visible and modifiable. This is the standard method in using the

5560. For those who have unique applications requiring modification of the standard setups, the Compliance

Setup selection box on the Basic tab can be changed to

Custom.

5571 DataNode

The 5571 is an upgrade path for users of the 7100

PQNode who wish to access the InfoNode and its webbased interface. An inexpensive upgrade kit is available to convert existing 7100 PQNodes into 5571s for use in the

Signature System. The 5571 is available in two model types, distinguished by their enlosures and connections to the circuit: Model 5571 and Model 5571S.

ADAM Modules

The Signature System readily interfaces with and acquires data from the popular Advantech

®

ADAM-4000 and

ADAM-5000 series data acquisition and control modules.

The ADAM-4000 series modules interface through

RS-485 to an InfoNode. The ADAM-5000 series system is a backplane configuration. Any combination of 5000 series plug-in modules may be used to monitor various types of applications. The 5000 series is one of the most diverse and flexible DA&C systems and is available in four or eight slot configurations. Both are equipped with

CPU, Watchdog Timer, RS-232 & RS-485 (x2) interfaces, error checking, system diagnostics and diagnostic display.

GEkV DataNode

GE's kV Vector Electricity Meter is the first of a new generation of electronic meters that extend functionality beyond the the bounds of traditional metering. The kV

Meter adds automatic installation verification plus power quality and cost of service measurements. The kV Meter also improves traditional meter tasks by adding consolidated forms, 57 to 120 or 120 to 480 volt measurement capability, improved billing protection and standardized meter reading and programming.

InfoNode to DataNode communications. The password is typically left at factory default.

NOTE: The password entered must match that of the

DataNode.

Under POWER SYSTEM, users can set values for PT

Primary, PT Secondary and Base Voltage (Vrms). PT

Primary and PT Secondary allow the setting of the primary and secondary components respectively, of all transducer ratios. Ratios for all three phases are set when this field is changed and saved. If the values for the individual phases are different, the phase A setting is displayed. No setup values are changed unless the user modifies this field and saves the changes. The values being modified here are the same as the individual values on the Transducers page (see page 8-22). For a 5530/

5520, the default value of both PT Primary and PT

Secondary is 1.

Users can also input values for the Base voltage (Vrms).

This field is where the user specifies the nominal line voltage. The value serves as the basis for computing

High and Low limits under the RMS Variations tab when percent of nominal or per unit options are used. Users can also select the Wiring configuration of the circuit.

Simply click on the value field and a drop down menu lists Single Phase, Wye, Delta and Split Single Phase.

When making voltage connections to a Single phase circuit, use channel A differential inputs. Neutral to ground measurements are recommended but not required for proper operation. When making Split Phase measurements, use both channels A and B for voltage and current connections. The neutral is chosen as the reference for measurement purposes. Neutral to ground measurements are recommended but not required for proper operation. When using the Wye setup mode, channels A, B and C are connected to voltage and current.

The neutral is connected to common and is the reference for the three channels. Neutral to ground measurements are recommended but not required for proper operation.

Various setups are possible when using the Delta setup mode. For example, the 3 Phase Delta uses voltage channels A, B and C as differential inputs with channel A using source voltage A-B, channel B using B-C, and channel C using C-A as the reference. Use channels A, B and C for current connections. Neutral to ground measurements are recommended but not required for proper operation. Refer to the Series 5500 DataNode

User’s Guide, Chapter 2 Preparation for Use, for illustrations of the different wiring configurations using

DataNode 5520 and DataNode 5510/5530.

STEADY STATE TRENDING allows for the periodic sampling of the voltage and/or current waveforms. For instance, the Time between periodic samples allows users to set the time (in minutes) of how often RMS and waveform snapshots will be recorded.

Demand interval and Demand sub-interval refer to that time period used in calculating power demand values.

Both Demand properties can be assigned value settings within the range of 1 to 120 minutes. Note however that the value set for Demand sub-interval must be an integerdivisor of Demand Interval since the former applies when updating certain parameters of the latter.

Under THRESHOLDS, users can choose the threshold units under Instruments thresholds set in. Click on the value field and a drop down selection of Volts, Per Unit, and Percent appears. The limits entered in subsequent tabs will correspond to the setting made here.

RMS stands for root mean square, a mathematical formula used to measure the average voltage and current behaviors. Voltage and current activities are measured to check their behavior patterns within a set or programmed threshold. Threshold is the point within which the voltage or current parameter is said to be within tolerance.

Thresholds are set in ranges with high limit (threshold above the programmed limit) and low limit (threshold below the programmed limit). RMS Variations result whenever voltage or current behaviors rise above or fall below the programmed thresholds. Dranetz-BMI instruments label RMS voltage or current variations as either sags (voltage or current decreases below low limit) or swells (voltage or current increases above high limit) as per IEEE 1159.

In the RMS Variations tab, the following properties can be set: Limits, Pre and Post- Event Captures, RMS Variations

Sampling Intervals, and Intervals.

Under LIMITS, letters A, B and C represent each leg or phase of a three-phase system, while letter N represents the neutral conductor. The channels used to trigger threshold values are automatically set depending on the wiring configuration selected under the Basic tab. High limit and

Low limit values can be enabled and programmed individually for each phase-to-neutral and phase-to-phase setting.

To program individual limit values, select the appropriate line that describes the phase-neutral or phase-to-phase

Save Setup button every time you assign different limit values.

PRE- AND POST- EVENT CAPTURES contain parameters that help users program the number of RMS and waveform cycles to be saved before (pre-) and after

(post-) the start and the end of the event. These parameters are Pre-event start RMS samples, Post-

event start RMS samples, Pre-event start waveform

samples, Post-event start waveform samples, Post-

event end RMS samples, Pre-event end waveform

samples, and Post-event end waveform samples. The parameters capture RMS sample or RMS waveform cycles that may be used to analyze and manage power event patterns and behavior.

With regard to the beginning and end of RMS variation events, such transition points are determined according to the following rules. As per IEC and IEEE standards for multi-phase systems, the beginning of the event occurs when any phase goes outside the limits. The start of an

RMS variation event is denoted as the time one or more phases of voltage or current goes outside of the programmed high or low thresholds. The end point of the event is defined as the point when all channels for which triggers are enabled have come back within limits (plus internally calculated hysteresis) for a minimum duration of Cycles in range to end event. Until this criteria is met, any subsequent excursions beyond the thresholds are considered part of the original disturbance. Disturbance monitoring requires that voltage be continuously sampled, and recorded only if the signals exceed specified values.

Most types of disturbances, with the exception of voltage variations, require that current be recorded as well.

The user also has the ability to specify how RMS trace data is recorded during the event. This mechanism is found under RMS VARIATIONS SAMPLING

INTERVALS, where Number of rates to use refers to the number of reduced sampling rate ranges to be used to record RMS variation activities. The sampling data referred to here may be any or all of the three sample rates found under INTERVALS - Reduced sampling

rate #1, Reduced sampling rate #2, and Reduced

sampling rate #3. When one of these items is selected, the reduced sampling rate parameters can be set for that item. Data for the sample rates only apply to RMS, not waveform, variations.

The reason behind storing sampling rates is that the memory capacity of the monitoring instrument makes it impractical to record an entire long duration sag or swell point by point. The waveforms before and after the trigger are digitized to help identify the cause of the excursion, but only RMS values are stored over the full duration event that is longer than the pre- and post- trigger setting.

If the event has not ended after a programmed time period, the instrument switches to averaging cycles of RMS data to further conserve memory yet accurately represent the event. At this point, the RMS plot diverges from a singlevalued line to a band of minimum, maximum and average values. During extremely long events, the instrument switches to successively longer averaging periods explained next.

The sample rates represent three supplemental recording interval or chart speeds defined for recording long events.

When recording at reduced rates, three values are saved for each data point - the minimum, maximum, and average value of the previous interval. The Sample min/max/avg

every N cycles refers to the number of cycles to average for the selected reduced sampling rate. While Number of

seconds to use this rate refer to the number of seconds to record at the selected reduced sampling rate.

The following default sequence is used to program reduced sampling rates:

For 60 Hz systems a. 6 cycle intervals for 8 seconds (80 samples) b. 30 cycle intervals for 20 seconds (40 samples) c. 60 cycle intervals for 90 seconds (90 samples)

Transients are disturbances which are shorter in duration than sags and swells. There are two basic types of transients: 1) impulsive transients commonly caused by lightning and load switching, and 2) oscillatory transients often attributed to capacitor bank switching. The EPQ

DataNode has extensive transient recording capabilities for all transient events, using waveshape, instantaneous peak, and dual positive and negative high frequency peak detectors.

Impulsive transients are characterized by a very rapid change in the magnitude of the measured quantity. Because these types of disturbances exhibit high frequencies, they are quickly damped by the system. They tend to be unidirectional when close to their source. Impulses are commonly caused by capacitors or inductors switching on line, loose wires, lightning, static, and power failures.

Oscillatory transients are defined as a temporary, rapid discontinuity of the waveform. Frequency is the most important characteristic in identifying this type of transient event. Frequencies are further classified into high (500 kHz or greater), medium (5 to 500 kHz), or low (5 kHz or less).

Values phase-to-neutral or phase-tophase values displayed depend upon the Wiring

Configuration set under the Basic tab

Transient events in the form of wave faults are captured using the waveform change detection technique. This is done by recording present cycle samples and comparing it to samples from the previous cycle. Waveshape trigger values include the magnitude and duration of the difference between the present and previous cycle.

Transients can be captured using the high frequency positive/negative peak detectors, crest factor peak

(instantaneous), and/or the waveshape variation triggering functions. The high frequency detected transient uses special circuitry to detect and capture impulsive transients as small as 1 microsecond. These transients are the positive and/or negative value above or below the low frequency waveshape. These are only

enabled if the flicker tab is disabled. The crest factor or instantaneous peak is the absolute peak sample value within one cycle. The high frequency peak detector and instantaneous transients are triggerable for voltage and current.

Under the CYCLE COUNTS, the user can define a number of cycles of waveform to record prior to the

8

8-7


8-8

8 5530/5520 DataNode Setup trigger point. This is set under the value field Number of

pre-trigger cycles. Users can also define the number of cycles of waveform to record after the trigger. This value is set under Number of post-trigger cycles. Typical values for these settings are 1 and 2 respectively. Setting these values to 0 causes one cycle of data to be recorded for each event - the cycle in which the transient was detected. Note also that the cycle of waveform containing the trigger point is always recorded. For example, if the pre-trigger cycle count is 1 and the post-trigger count is set to 2, then a total of 4 cycles (including the cycle containing the trigger point) of waveform and peak detector values are recorded.

Under INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL PARAMETERS, letters

A, B and C represent different channels, N stands for neutral, while G stands for ground conductor. The channel values are pre-defined and automatically set depending upon the Wiring configuration selected under the Basic tab.

The DataNode provides configuration variables that specifies how many cycles to record the Instantaneous

limit, Peak detector limit and Waveform change

magnitude limit. These limit values can be enabled and programmed individually for each phase and phase-tophase setting.

The instantaneous limit value is compared against the absolute value of each A/D sample of the voltage and current channel waveforms (128 A/D samples taken per cycle). If any point is greater than the specified limit, the cycle the trigger occurred on plus the specified number of pre- and post- trigger cycles will be recorded as an event.

Enter your limit values in the corresponding field for each phase-neutral or phase-to-phase setting, and click the

Instantaneous limit enabled box to activate. In earlier versions of the software, this same value is used for the high frequency dual peak detectors as well.

The instantaneous limit is in units of Volts or Percent of base depending on the unit of thresholds selected under the Basic tab. If the instantaneous limit is set at or below

100%, transients are effectively disabled because a permanent trigger condition exists and locks out further events. The Peak detector limit can also be set in units of

Volts or Percent of base depending on the thresholds unit set under the Basic tab. Since the fundamental frequency component is filtered out using the peak detector trigger mechanism, peak detector limits set below 100% can be specified.

Other configuration variables that determine the operation of transient capture capability of the DataNode are the waveform trigger parameter, instantaneous peak waveform trigger level, and dual peak high frequency detector output trigger level. Values for these parameters are set under Waveform change magnitude limit and

Waveform change duration limit. Normally the default values for these is 10%. These limit values can be enabled and programmed individually for each phase and phaseto-phase setting. To activate the waveform limit values, click the Waveform change limit enabled box.

For further discussion on Transient Event Recording, refer to the EPQ DataNode Series User's Guide.



Trending Tabs

The following tabs are known as trending pages: Metering, Revenue, Demand, Advanced Energy, Advanced Metering,

Imbalance, Harmonics, Flicker, and Advanced Harmonics. These tabs contain an enable/disable checkbox at the top of the page. The purpose of the checkbox on any trending page is to enable trending of properties and values listed on that page.

If the box is checked, the settings on that page go into effect. If the box is not checked, the remaining settings are persisted but are not in effect. For DataNodes using Firmware V2.6 and higher, all trending pages are displayed. For

Under SELECT JOURNAL ENTRY/ENTRIES TO

CHANGE, the various phase-neutral and phase-to-phase parameters are displayed. High and low limits can be enabled and individually set for each phase-neutral and phase-to-phase value. Note however that the available phase values depend on the Wiring Configuration selected under the Basic tab. For instance, for wye circuits L-N, N-

G and L-L limits can be set. For delta circuits, only L-L limits can be set.

Highlight the parameter value you wish to change, then check the Enable periodic sampling box. Check the threshold enable box, and then enter the value for that threshold. Repeat this for all parameters of interest.

NOTE: The 5530 DataNode has an internal limit on the number of variables it can track for the purpose of periodic recording and limit rule evaluation. Indiscriminate selection of parameters should be avoided.

Each parameter has five threshold limits: High-high,

High, Low, Low-Low, and Deadband.

High-High limit - specifies an absolute limit for comparison that is higher than the high limit

High limit - specifices an absolute limit for comparison that is higher than the low limit

Low limit - specifies an absolute limit for comparison that is lower than the high limit

Low-Low limit - specifies an absolute limit for comparison lower than the low limit

Deadband limit - specifies how much a value can change before another event is recorded

The High-High must be greater than High, Low-Low less than Low. The hysteresis values assigned to limits are set by the system and not programmable by the user. All limit values are used to determine if corresponding reporting or logging action should take place. Note that these limits are the absolute or actual values to trigger on, not a percent of fixed or floating base as can be used in Voltage

RMS Variation and Transients limits.

For example, if a frequency is detected to cross the threshold limit, then an event is recorded. If the frequency goes from out of limits to within limits (that is below the high limit minus the hysteresis and above the low limit plus the hysteresis) then another event is recorded.

Harmonics are waveform distortion, a steady-state deviation from an ideal power frequency sinusoid and is characterized by the spectral content of the waveform.

Many non-linear devices such as battery chargers, switching power supplies or transformers inject currents at harmonic (integer multiples of the fundamental) frequencies into the system. Harmonic currents and the voltage distortion they create as they flow through system impedances can reduce equipment operating reliability and service life. Harmonics can be particularly troublesome where capacitors are applied on the distribution system.

Capacitors may result in resonance at a harmonic frequency, leading to high harmonic voltages and currents throughout the system.

Interharmonics are frequency components between the harmonic frequencies. The IEC 1000-4-7 Standard dictates that harmonic analysis is done using 5Hz bins. The RMS of the frequency bins between the 2nd and 3rd harmonic is referred to as the H2-3 interharmonic.

Under ENABLE TRENDING (THIS PAGE) is a checkbox in the value field opposite Harmonics. The box enables the trending of values listed in Harmonics page. If the box is checked, the settings on the page go into effect. If the box is not checked, the remaining settings are persisted but are not in effect.


CHANGE, various harmonic parameters can be trended using periodic readings that are stored in a journal.

Harmonic distortion of voltage or current is calculated through a Fourier transformation of the waveform into harmonic magnitudes and phase angle spectra. These spectra are used to determine figures of merit such as total harmonic distortion (THD) and telephone influence factor

(TIF). The total interharmonic distortion (TID) is calculated similar to the THD. (See Appendix A Quantities Calculated

from Periodic Voltage and Current Measurements)

The InfoNode/DataNode system allows simultaneous measurements of voltage and current so that harmonic power flow can be obtained. Depending on value parameters set, the program can record a sampling of the waveform synchronized to the fundamental frequency, to ensure accurate calculation of harmonic phase angles.

The sampling rate is sufficient to determine up to the

50th harmonic and interharmonic or better. A comprehensive range of high and low limits can be enabled and individually set for each measured parameter. Highlight the value parameter you wish to change, then check the Enable periodic sampling box.


Each parameter has five threshold limits: High-high,








The hysteresis values assigned to limits are set by the system. All limit values are used to determine if corresponding reporting or logging action should take place. Note that these limits are the absolute or actual values to trigger on, not a percent of fixed or floating base as can be used in Voltage RMS Variation and

Transients limits.

For example, if the Voltage Harmonic RMS is detected to cross the threshold limit, then an event is recorded. If the Voltage Harmonic RMS goes from out of limits to within limits (that is below the high limit minus the hysteresis and above the low limit plus the hysteresis), then the event is recorded. All activated Harmonic parameters and value settings defined can be viewed under the Real-time tab.

There are three flicker values available for trending: the

Short term flicker or Pst, the long term flicker or Plt, and

Plt calculated on a sliding window. The other parameters shown above (journal entries) are used primarily for specialized testing. Flicker measurements are classified per

IEC 1000-4-15.

Under ENABLE TRENDING (THIS PAGE) is a checkbox in the value field opposite Flicker which enables the trending of values listed in this page. If the box is checked, the settings on the page go into effect. Enabling this will

automatically disable the high-frequency dual peak

detectors located in the Transients tab. If the box is not checked, the remaining settings are persisted but are not in effect.

Under SAMPLE INTERVALS are two numeric edit controls: the Pst Interval and the Plt Interval. Pst is short term perceptibility, used to set the Pst calculation interval. Typical calculation is over 10 minute interval, though this can be programmed. Plt is long term perceptibility, used to set Plt calculation interval. Typical calculation is over 2 hour interval, though this can also be programmed. The Plt interval must be an integer multiple of the Pst interval. Sliding Plt recalculates the Plt value at each Pst interval, rather than only at the Plt interval.

Transducers are typically PTs (potential transformers) and

CTs (current transformers) that are used to interface the instrument to the power circuit. PTs allow the instrument to measure circuits that are not within the measurement range of the instrument. CTs measure the current of the circuit and convert it to within the measurement range of the instrument.

For Phase rotation, users can choose whether to have phasor shift clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the way they have set up their system. Click the value field to display the drop down menu featuring Normal

(counter clockwise) or Reverse (clockwise). Either orientation will yield the same mathematical calculations of voltage and current measurements. The 5530 is able to automatically determine phase rotation of the voltage channels and then match up the current channels. phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase values displayed depend upon the

Wiring Configuration set under the Basic tab

The 5530 DataNode will swap voltage phases to ensure positive sequence phase rotation (counter clockwise according to IEEE definitions) and then swap and invert current channels to match.

The InfoNode is designed with a software user interface to enable users to do channel swapping and inversion information. Channel mapping is used to correct for errors in wiring the instrument to the circuit. If a mistake is made, such as an inverted CT or a phase is connected to the wrong channel, it can be corrected in the software instead of changing the wiring to the instrument. Note that it is recommended that the actual wiring be changed, but channel mapping can correct the problem if this is not practical.



A channel-mapping array is provided to permit manual configuration of channel swapping and inversion. Under

CHANNEL MAPPING, click on the corresponding voltage or current phase to show which channel the Signal

is connected to. Click and enable the value field opposite

Channel is inverted to as it applies.

The channel-mapping array works by specifying a numeric code in each array slot that indicates which phase is connected to the physical 5530 DataNode channel.

Normally, the channels and phases are matched as shown below. Channels can be swapped and/or inverted to correct mistakes in wiring.

The DataNode employs two A/D converters to sample the voltage and current channels for a given phase simultaneously. Measurement errors may result if the voltage and current signals are not correctly paired. Under

TRANSDUCER RATIOS, users can set values for the

Transducer Primary and Transducer Secondary.

Values to account for any voltage or current transformers can be entered for each input channel. The primary and secondary values are entered. For example, if the primary voltage is 2400 volts and the secondary voltage is 120 volts, then those values should be entered. This gives an effective 20:1 reduction in voltage. When the input voltage to the DataNode is 120V, the displayed value will be 2400 volts. The Magnitude correction, Phase correction, and

DC offset values are not programmable.

Parameters under the Advanced tab allow the administrator or user to set up functions that affect communications, information access and download between the InfoNode and DataNode systems.

The 5530/5520 can be configured to issue a UDP (cross trigger) broadcast message when an RMS variation and/or transient occurs. The 5530/5520 can also be configured to listen for such messages and cause an RMS variation or transient recording to occur regardless of whether or not its own trigger conditions for that instrument were met.

Under CROSS TRIGGERING, a Broadcast Group ID is assigned to allow for different groups of cross trigger senders/recipients.

click to display drop down menu

The broadcast ID number in the InfoNode must match the broadcast group ID set under the TCP/IP parameter of the

Datanode. The DataNode also uses this ID mechanism for multiple DataNode cross triggering and is guaranteed only on an un-routed network. The group ID is sent along with the broadcast message and only those receivers with the same group ID will respond to the broadcast if so enabled.

The broadcast address can be specified to send a broadcast to a directed address other than the local network if desired. However, results cannot be guaranteed and data may be lost if the message takes too long to arrive at its destination.



Checkboxes are seen opposite the next four items Enable

sending rms trigger, Enable responding to received

rms trigger, Enable sending transient trigger, Enable

responding to received transient trigger. The user specifies which event types are generated and/or listened for through these checkboxes.When said parameters are activated, the system in effect utilizes trigger messages as trip signals. If Broadcast address is empty, message broadcast is routed through the local network. The user specifies a group ID and optionally a broadcast address.

Under COMMUNICATIONS, users are given the option to return to the default InfoNode or DataNode settings

When configurations differ and communication errors occur.

Access privileges are determined under PASSWORDS.

The passwords entered in the InfoNode system must match the ones stored under the Password section of the

Signature System DataNode. Otherwise, access to information may be denied. The User Account Password and Admin Account Password refer to two different user categories. An Admin User can create and add an account for a new Basic User. Both Admin and Basic users can assign properties such as their own user name and password. See page 7-1 User section for more details.

The default InfoNode Access User ID is ‘admin’. The default InfoNode Access Password is ‘password’. These parameters allow access to view and change information in the InfoNode system. The default Firmware Access

User ID is 'admin'. The default Firmware Access

Password is ‘password’. These parameters allow access to view and change information in the DataNode system. To change passwords, simply click on the Password value fields. A confirmation window appears everytime you click on the password value field. The window asks whether you want to change and save a new password.

Parameters are also available for ONE TIME

OPERATIONS on the EPQ DataNode. These one time procedures include configuring the DataNode to its default settings and/or clearing memory space by rebooting.

Observe caution in undertaking these procedures since they cannot be undone. To return to the default DataNode settings, activate the Reset 302 default setup value field.

To clear old data and reboot DataNode, activate the Clear

332 Database and reboot value field. To execute both procedures at one time, activate Do both of the above.

To save memory space, the administrator or user may choose to activate Don't save data from next download.

To discard the most recent journal ID entries, activate the

Clear last journal ID value field.

Finally, parameters for downloading new or updated firmware are available under ONE TIME FIRMWARE

OPERATIONS. A firmware is a program or instruction stored in Flash memory which implements the communications interface and data acquisition between the outside world and the instrument.

Based on the parameters available, the administrator or user can activate value fields to Load IOP firmware or to Load ACP firmware or to Load both IOP and ACP

firmware. The IOP and ACP firmware are two different sets of firmware. The IOP communicates directly with the

InfoNode, while the ACP is comprised of the host CPU and DSP. If the value fields are activated, new firmware is downloaded on demand from InfoNode to DataNode.

New firmware is downloaded automatically if the boot

ROM finds that the existing firmware in the DataNode is missing or corrupt. The administrator or user also has the option to Load Both (IOP and ACP) firmware to all

DataNodes. Download is accomplished using the standard Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The

DataNode must be connected to the network where the updates are to be extracted from to ensure a successful download. Since these one time operations cannot be undone, observe caution when performing download firmware procedures.

In connection with electric utility billing practices, the

InfoNode and DataNode system has an interface to reset demand and energy accumulation readings. The

Accumulator Resets tab allows one to reset the parameters to defined values, but not to change or configure new values. The notation 'Never reset' appears to mean that the parameter values register original readings and have never been reset at any time.

The moment the reset parameter is activated/enabled, the notation will change and will reflect the date and time of last reset.

Under DEMAND RESETS, Real or True Phase power demand, Reactive power demand, and Apparent power demand can be reset. See Appendix E Glossary for the definitions of the various power parameter values. The system maintains a running maximum known as "peak demand" on per phase basis and per average demand

Values current value. It also stores the date and time of each peak demand. Peak demand is the maximum electrical power load consumed or produced in a defined period of time.

Under ENERGY ACCUMULATORS, the system calculates and stores accumulated values for energy (in kWHr unit), reactive energy (in kVarH unit), and apparent energy (in kVAH unit). Kilowatt-Hour (kWHr) is the equivalent energy supplied by a power of 1000 watts for one hour. Watt is the unit for real power. Kilovar-hour

(kVarH) is equal to 1000 reactive volt-ampere hours. Var is an abbreviation for volt ampere reactive. It measures the integral of the reactive power of the circuit into which the instrument is connected. Var is the unit for reactive power.

Kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is equivalent to 1000 volt-amperes.

VA is the unit for apparent power. Apparent power is the product of voltage and current of a single-phase circuit in


5530/5520 DataNode Setup 8 which the two reach their peaks at different times. See

Appendix E Glossary for the definitions of the various power parameter values.

The accumulated energy values include real power factor

(average three-phase) which is mathematically defined as

"demand kW/demand kVA". It also displays integrated and total integrated reactive power. The system also calculates and stores apparent energy (VA). Real Power (W) and

Apparent Power (VA) are reset together; you cannot reset one without resetting the other. Likewise, the Watthour

Meter and Varhour Meter are reset together.

The system uses the fundamental frequency as reference for calculating energy values in one of two modes: forward or reverse. In forward mode, the circuit monitor considers the direction of power flow, allowing the accumulated energy magnitude to both increase and decrease. In reverse mode, the circuit monitor accumulates energy as positive, regardless of the direction of power flow. In other words, the energy value increases, even during reverse power flow. The default accumulation mode is reverse.

ntroduction

The 5560 QOS (Quality of Supply) DataNode is designed to monitor and report quality of supply compliance as specified by European Standard EN50160. The 5560

DataNode provides the full set of data required to verify compliance with EN50160, while maintaining the power quality diagnostic capabilities expected from Dranetz-

BMI.

Scope of EN50160 Standard

*

It is important to note that EN50160 is defined for the electricity supplied at the supply terminals, and does not deal with the supply system or the consumer’s installation or equipment itself.

As the standard deals with the voltage characteristics in public distribution networks, other aspects essential for the supply quality (for instance short circuit power) are not treated in this standard. The standard is applicable only under normal operating conditions of the supply system.

This includes also the correct operation of protection devices in the case of a fault in the network (blowing of a fuse, operation of a circuit-breaker, etc.), the operation of loads agreed between customer and supplier, and changes in the network.

The standard lists several specific examples of exceptional conditions, out of supplier's control, that can cause one or more of the characteristics to go beyond the values given.

These conditions include exceptional weather conditions and other natural disasters, third party interference, acts by public authorities, industrial action, force majeure, and power shortages resulting from external events. Under such conditions the EN50160 does not apply.

EN50160 is not an EMC standard. It does not give compatibility levels or emission limits. Moreover the standard does not have the function of specifying the requirements for electrical equipment. Its sole function is to give values for the main voltage characteristics of electricity supplied by Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) public networks. That means EN50160 is a product standard giving the voltage characteristics which can be expected at the supply terminals. This standard does not describe the average situation in the public supply networks but the maximum values or variations of the voltage characteristics under normal operating conditions which can be expected by the customer at any place of the network.

*Based on Draft Guide to the Application EN50160, CENELEC

Report, CLC/BTTF 68-6(SG)1 Rev., January 1999.

5560 DataNode QOS Functional

Components

The QOS compliance monitoring functionality of the

5560 DataNode is optimized to ensure error-free setup and reporting for EN50160 applications. Selections are provided to allow a user to configure the system to collect either a super-set or sub-set of the measurements required for EN50160 monitoring. Statistical data is calculated on the required 12 parameters specified in

EN50160 over the (1 week) interval to produce a

PASS/FAIL decision of compliance. Statistical and trending visualizations show what the values of each of the parameters were over the interval, and at what time did they approach or exceed limits.

As with other Dranetz-BMI DataNodes, the 5560

DataNode is set up and viewed through a web browser, with no software to learn and install.

The QOS functional components built into the 5560

DataNode are incorporated into the various tab pages of the InfoNode system. The user interface employed by the 5560 DataNode is identical to that of other

DataNodes, except that additional monitoring and setup protocols were installed to meet the data acquisition requirements of the QOS compliance standards.

Home Page Reporting of QOS Compliance

The Quality of Supply compliance status for the latest complete evaluation period of each DataNode is reported via the

InfoNode Home page. Information about QOS compliance appears in two parts of the Home page: the DataNode status paragraph and the DataNode status table.

NOTE: Other types of DataNode (EPQ, 5540, etc.) may exist in the system. QOS Status may not apply to the other

DataNodes.

Compliance Message on DataNode Status Paragraph

A report on QOS compliance appears in the DataNode status paragraph. If the 5560 QOS is compliant, the following message is shown “There is one DataNode for monitoring Quality of Supply compliance. This DataNode is reporting compliance." If the QOS DataNode is non-compliant or have undetermined compliance, further messages appear under the DataNode status table described next. The non-compliance message is hyperlinked to the Quality of Supply

Compliance section in the DataNode status table.

Compliance Message on DataNode Status Table

An additional section featuring the non-compliance status of QOS DataNodes appear in the DataNode status table. The table indicates which DataNodes are not in compliance and/or have undetermined compliance status for the specified interval. DataNodes that are non-compliant are hyperlinked to the QOS Status view.

QOS Status Summary

The QOS Status Summary table lists the monitoring periods (weeks) that fall within the selected date range for the selected DataNode(s), as well as how many RMS and Transient Events occurred during the monitoring periods. The standard monitoring period is one complete week, usually beginning Sunday 00:00. Any Time/Date Query that specifies a range that would include part of a monitoring period (less than one week) will have that particular Evaluation Status marked as Incomplete and the Compliance marked as Undetermined. For completed monitoring periods, Compliance status may either be PASS or FAIL. A PASS or FAIL status is hyperlinked to the Compliance Statistical Bar Chart. See text below for the description of the items contained in the QOS Status Summary table.

PASS/FAIL status is hyperlinked to the

Compliance Statistical

Graph (see page 10-6)

QOS Status Summary Table

Evaluation Status: The evaluation status is either

Complete (full week) or Incomplete (less than a week).

An evaluation status is Incomplete under the following scenarios.

· It is the current evaluation period and it has simply not completed.

· It is a previous evaluation period but not enough data samples were included in the statistical analysis. This may be due to the following reasons: data was not collected or too many samples were tagged as unusable due to RMS variations or some other EN50160 criteria.

NOTE: The criteria defining completeness of an evaluation period is described on page 10-21 EN50160 General

Setup tab.

Evaluation Period: This column displays the date and time of the beginning of the evaluation period. Each evaluation period is independent of each other.

Monitor: This column displays the name of the DataNode to which the evaluation period belongs.

Compliance: The EN50160 Answer Module determines compliance. For completed periods, Compliance displays

PASS (Green) or FAIL (Red). For incomplete periods,

Compliance displays Undetermined (Black). A PASS or

FAIL compliance status is hyperlinked to the Compliance

Statistical Bar Chart featuring the 7 parameters required for determining compliance. See sample bar chart on page 10-6.

RMS Variation Event Count: The RMS variation event count is a hyperlink to EN50160 DISDIP table for RMS variation events. See page 10-15 for the EN50160 DIS-

DIP Table and 3D Bar Chart for RMS Variations

Transient Event Count: The Transient event count is a hyperlink to EN50160 Transient DISDIP table for

Transient Events and Transient Overvoltages. See page

Compliance Statistical Graph

The Compliance Statistical Bar Chart shown below displays the seven parameters that are required for determining compliance. The bar chart indicates the percentage of the intervals passing the specified compliance criteria. The color of the bar indicates the compliance status. A green bar indicates that the parameter is within compliance. A red bar indicates that the parameter does not comply with EN50160 Standard.

The graph atuoscales to enable maximum viewing. The minimum value on the left of the horizontal axis will be the 10% multiple that is less than the lowest compliance level for the seven parameters displayed. If the value is less than 1%, the bar will graph 1% so that is visible. See text below for the description of each parameter. For QOS compliance limits of each parameter, refer to the Compliance Limits in QOS Setups and Reports table on page 10-8.

10-6

Compliance Statistical Bar Chart

Power Frequency: In case of fault operation, parts of an interconnected system may become isolated. Compliance will be assessed over an observation period of one week, by a statistical analysis carried out over the sequence of

10 seconds measurements. Frequency is represented by a single value and a single bar. The bar is a hyperlink to the

Power Frequency Graph. See page 10-17.

Supply Voltage Variations: Under normal operating conditions, load changes cause variations of the 10 minute average supply voltage. Generally this is compensated by automatic voltage regulation within a period of a few tens of seconds. Supply Voltage Variations display a cluster of bars, one for each phase. The color of each bar indicates the compliance status for its phase. A green bar indicates that the parameter is within compliance. A red bar indicates that the parameter does not comply with EN50160.

Rapid Voltage Changes (Flicker): Typical rapid voltage changes do not exceed a magnitude of + 5% or - 5% of the nominal or declared voltage. This limitation is possible because connection of loads capable of creating rapid voltage changes is usually subjected to regulations. But under certain conditions, higher values up to 10% may occasionally occur. These higher values can occur for instance in areas where higher power motor equipment

(blowers, pumps, compressors, etc.) is used. Flickers display a cluster of bars, one for each phase. The color of each bar indicates the compliance status for its phase. A green bar indicates that the parameter is within compliance. A red bar indicates that the parameter does not comply with EN50160.


Supply Voltage Unbalance: The unbalance of a three phase supply voltage consists of a loss of symmetry of the phase voltage vectors (magnitude and/or angle), created mainly by unbalanced load. Compliance is verified when

95% of the sequence of valid 10 minute values are within the specified tolerance of normally 2% (in single phase/two phase supplies 3%). Supply Voltage Unbalance is represented by a single value and a single bar. The color of the bar indicates the compliance status. A green bar indicates that the parameter is within compliance. A red bar indicates that the parameter does not comply with

EN50160.

Harmonic Voltage: Harmonics display a cluster of bars, one for each phase. The color of each bar indicates the compliance status that is calculated by ‘anding’ the statuses of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and each

Harmonic 2 thru 25. The bars for Harmonic Voltage all link to the same graph. See page 10-16.

With regard to the Harmonic bars (see graph on page

10-6), if 3 bars all go to 100% but one phase is red, this indicates that the THD is in compliance but one or more of the individual harmonic components is not in compliance. Clicking on the bars will show harmonic component detail.

Many instruments used for harmonic measurements of power supply systems express their output with reference to the fundamental component of the voltage, especially those indicating the THD Factor.

The general approach of EN50160 is to express all voltage characteristics by reference to the nominal voltage or declared voltage, as appropriate. The following are the Harmonic Compliance Limit values in relation to the nominal voltage.

Harmonic values are specified only up to order 25

(EN50160 limit), for the practical reason that for higher orders the values are generally so small as to be impractical to measure. Another reason is because of the difficulty of giving values which would be relevant to all networks.

Interharmonic Voltage: Interharmonics display a cluster of bars, one for each phase. The color of each bar indicates the compliance status that is calculated by adding the statuses of Total Interharmonic Distortion (TID) and each Interharmonic 2 thru 25. The bars for Interharmonic

Voltage all link to the same graph. See page 10-16.

Mains Signalling: With regard to signal transmission over the public supply network it is necessary to distinguish between ripple control systems (frequency range from 100 Hz to 3 kHz) and mains communication systems (frequency range 3 kHz to 148,5 kHz).

Mains Signalling display a cluster of bars, one for each phase. The color of each bar indicates the compliance status that is calculated by adding the statuses of each of the defined frequencies (a maximum of five) for its phase. A green bar indicates that the parameter is within compliance. A red bar indicates that the parameter does not comply with EN50160.

Real-time Display of QOS Data

Among the new parameters included in the 5560 DataNode, in addition to those available in DataNode 5530/5520, are those required to meet the specification of a flicker meter as per EN61000-4-15. Thus, under Real-time page, new channels are defined to support real-time display of flicker measurements. Flicker is the effect on the visual human perception by a changing emission of light by lamps subjected to fluctuations of their supply voltage. Voltage fluctuations consist of a sequence of rapid voltage changes, spaced in time close enough to stimulate the response of the eye-brain is defined as flicker.

As the annoyance created by flicker is a function of both the intensity of Flicker and the duration of exposure, the severity of the disturbance is described by two parameters: the short term severity (Pst) and the long term severity (Plt).

Values for the flicker parameter include the Pst of last complete interval, Plt of last complete interval, Plt calculated using a sliding interval, maximum instantaneous P (Max. Pinst), LPF of Pinst, the square root of Pinst, and LPF of the square root of Pinst. These values are included in the channel selection when configuringthe jpurnal recordings (see

Flicker Setup Tab on page 10-41). Note that only channels for which flicker data is present in the system are included in the selection. A sample real time display parameter screen is shown below. Users can choose which channels (A, B, C,

EN50160 General Setup tab

The EN50160 General tab requires several setup parameters. All Answer Module setups are global to the InfoNode and apply to all instruments that are gathering EN50160 information.

EN50160 EVALUATION PERIOD properties consist of the Start day, Start time, and Length of the evaluation period.

The Start day and Start time properties can be altered and the unit will remain in strict compliance with EN50160. The

Length cannot be altered due to the 7-day week period by which the unit calculates information in strict compliance with the EN50160. To program the properties, click on the respective value fields to display the drop down menu.

Start day - Specifies the day of the week when the statistics will be reset. Day is selected from a drop down menu containing the days of the week. The default start day is Sunday.

Start time - Specifies the time of day when the statistics will be reset. Time is an edit box that defaults to 00:00:00

(midnight of Sunday according to standard). Click on the value field to change time.

Length - Allows the user to set the evaluation period to a value other than the EN50160 specified period of 1 week.

Users are cautioned against changing this value as this will result in a non-standard evaluation. The default is 1 week.

EN50160 Calculations and Statistics

This section lists the calculations and statistics that are gathered from incoming data and processed by the

EN50160 Answer Module.

For each 5560 DataNode configured in the system, the

Answer Module compiles the required statistics and persists them to the database for retrieval under the Views and Reports pages of the InfoNode. The partial statistics are persisted as each set of incoming data is analyzed so that partial period statistics are available, even though it cannot predict that a site will pass in compliance until interval is complete.

Intermediate statistics for the current evaluation period are made available but are marked as incomplete. Early in an evaluation period there may not be enough data to provide meaningful statistics and Pass/Fail evaluations for the various criteria. Due to this fact, partial statistics are not available until at least 100 valid samples have been accumulated and evaluated.

As disturbance based statistics (DISDIP) are simple counts of events in various ranges, this information is made available at any time during an evaluation period.

At the end of the evaluation period, the statistic calculations are completed and the statistical observation is marked as Complete. If for some reason, the evaluation period was less than a complete period, the observation is marked as an Incomplete period so the reporting elements can take appropriate action.

All EN50160 compliance statistics are calculated from data retrieved from the DataNode journal (steady state values) and characterized events (transients and RMS variations).

For all periodic quantities, the total number of valid measurements in the evaluation period is tabulated. A particular period is excluded from the analysis if a sag below

85% of nominal or a swell above 115% of nominal occurred based on cycle-by-cycle RMS voltage minima and maxima. For those items tabulated in the InfoNode, the exclusion is based on the minimum and maximum value available in 10-minute RMS voltage min/max/avg trend value log.

The table below details the statistical information gathered by the Answer Module.

The setup of a DataNode is dependent on the DataNode type. 5560 DataNodes can be set up in Strict compliance with EN50160 or can be set up using Custom setups. Under Strict compliance, only the General and

Basic tabs are visible and modifiable. This is the standard method for using the 5560. For those who have unique applications requiring modification of the standard setups, the Compliance Setup selection box on the

Basic tab can be changed to Custom. See sample screens below.

The General tab contains identification and performance status description of the DataNode.

IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION includes the Name and Description which users can assign for a particular

DataNode type. Simply click on the Name or

Description field to type in the space provided.

Description typically describes the location where the

DataNode is monitoring. Users are allowed to enter up to

30 alphanumeric characters under the Name and

Description fields.

The Serial Number and Version of the DataNode hardware are set by default. This instrument-specific information is available only for viewing and cannot be altered or changed from the InfoNode.

STATUS INFORMATION properties include Active, which describes current communications interface between the DataNode and the InfoNode system. When checked, this means that the DataNode is actively communicating and exchanging information with the system.

When making changes in the different value settings of a

DataNode, it is wise to uncheck the Active box first, activate

(check) to establish link with the

DataNode site make the changes, then check the Active box again. This helps ease and speed up processing time. Also when adding a new DataNode, the Active box must be checked to establish link with the DataNode site. Click the Home page to check which DataNodes are actively communicating with the InfoNode.

Users also have the option to Get settings from

DataNode on activation. When checked or enabled, the default DataNode settings will be re-configured and redisplayed. The settings in the DataNode will overwrite those in the InfoNode and be used for monitoring.

Remember to click the Save Setup button found at the bottom of the page to save any change that have been done. To aid users, a Save confirmation window appears after changes have been made and when users are about to switch to a different tab.

Status properties also records the date and time of Last

contact. It also indicates Health status, whether the

DataNode system is functioning normally or not. Both information are set by default and cannot be altered by users.

5560 QOS

Compliance Setup is a drop down selection box containing two entries: Strict EN50160 and Custom EN50160.

Compliance setup determines which pages are visible to the user and therefore which setup fields may be changed. If Strict EN50160 is selected, only the General and Basic pages are displayed. If Custom EN50160 is selected, all Setup pages are visible. Strict EN50160 compliance setup is the default.

Under MAINS SIGNALLING, users can enter

Frequencies to Trend. This value field is editable. Use

None if no frequency values will be trended or enter a delimited list of signalling frequencies to monitor using a comma to separate the frequency values. Only the first five valid frequencies in the list are stored. A valid frequency is divisible by 5 Hz. and is less than 3.84 kHz.

The Mains Signalling graph can be accessed from the

Views page, but the signalling frequency is not trended or available for real-time meter.

RMS stands for root mean square, a mathematical formula used to measure the average voltage and current. Voltage and current changes are measured and checked against their programmed limits. Thresholds are set in ranges with high limit (threshold above the programmed limit) and low limit (threshold below the programmed limit). RMS

Variations result whenever voltage or current RMS value rises above or fall below the programmed thresholds.

The following properties can be set in the RMS

Variations page: Limits, Pre and Post- Event Captures,

RMS Variations Sampling Intervals, and Intervals.

Under LIMITS, letters A, B and C represent each leg or phase of a three-phase system, while letter N represents the neutral conductor. The channels used to trigger are auto set. High limit and Low limit values can be enabled and programmed individually for each phase-toneutral and phase-to-phase setting.

10-27

5560 QOS

T o program individual limit values, select the appropriate line that describes the phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase setting that you wish to change. If the same limit value will be assigned to more than one phase, press Shift + click to select multiple phases. Enter your limit value for the corresponding phase in the High limit and Low limit fields. Click the Limit enabled box to activate. Click the

Save Setup button every time you assign different limit values.

PRE- AND POST- EVENT CAPTURES contain parameters that help users program the number of RMS and waveform cycles to be saved before (pre-) and after

(post-) the start and the end of the event. These parameters are Pre-event start RMS samples, Post-

event start RMS samples, Pre-event start waveform

samples, Post-event start waveform samples, Post-

event end RMS samples, Pre-event end waveform

samples, and Post-event end waveform samples. The parameters capture RMS sample or RMS waveform cycles that may be used to analyze and manage power event patterns and behavior.

With regard to the beginning and end of RMS variation events, such transition points are determined according to the following rules. As per IEC and IEEE standards for multi-phase systems, the beginning of the event occurs when any phase goes outside the limits. The start of an

RMS variation event is denoted as the time one or more phases of voltage or current goes outside of the programmed high or low thresholds. The end of the event is denoted as the time all phase voltages and currents are back within the limits and the number of cycles specified within limits has been satisfied. Disturbance monitoring requires that voltage be continuously sampled, and recorded only if the signals exceed specified values. Most types of disturbances, with the exception of voltage variations, require that current be recorded as well.

The user also has the ability to specify how RMS trace data is recorded during the event. This mechanism is found under RMS VARIATIONS SAMPLING INTER-

VALS, where Number of rates to use refer to the number of reduced sampling rate ranges to be used to record RMS variation activities. The sampling data referred to here may be any or all of the three sample rates found under INTERVALS - Reduced sampling

rate #1, Reduced sampling rate #2, and Reduced

sampling rate #3. When one of these items is selected, the reduced sampling rate parameters can be set for that item. Data for the sample rates only apply to RMS, not waveform, variations.

10-28

The reason behind storing sampling rates is that the memory capacity of the monitoring instrument makes it impractical to record an entire long duration sag or swell point by point. The waveforms before and after the trigger are digitized to help identify the cause of the excursion, but only RMS values are stored over the full duration of the event that are longer than the pre- and post- trigger settings. If the event has not ended after a programmed time period, the instrument switches to averaging cycles of RMS data to further conserve memory yet accurately represent event. At this point, the

RMS plot diverges from a single-valued line to a band of minimum, maximum and average values. During extremely long events, the instrument switches to successively longer averaging periods explained next.

The sample rates represent three supplemental recording interval or chart speeds defined for recording long events.

When recording at reduced rates, three values are saved for each data point - the minimum, maximum, and average value of the previous interval. The Sample

min/max/avg every N cycles refers to the number of cycles to average for the selected reduced sampling rate.

While Number of seconds to use this rate refer to the number of seconds to record at the selected reduced sampling rate.

The following default sequence is used to program reduced sampling rates:

Transients are disturbances which are shorter in duration than sags and swells. There are two basic types of transients: 1) impulsive transients commonly caused by lightning and load switching, and 2) oscillatory transients often attributed to capacitor bank switching. The DataNode program has extensive transient recording capabilities for all transient events, using waveshape, instantaneous peak, and dual positive and negative high frequency peak detectors.

Under CYCLE COUNTS, the user can define a number of cycles of waveform to record prior to the trigger point.

This is set under Number of pre-trigger cycles. Users can also define the number of cycles of waveform to record after the trigger. This value is set under Number of post-

trigger cycles. Typical values for these settings are 1 and 2 respectively.

Under INDIVIDUAL CHANNEL PARAMETERS, letters

A, B and C represent different channels, N stands for neutral, while G stands for ground conductor. The channel values are pre-defined and automatically set depending upon the Wiring Configuration selected under the Basic tab.

The DataNode program provides configuration variables that specifies how many cycles to record the RMS

limit. These limit values can be enabled and programmed

Instantaneous limit enabled box to activate.

Other configuration variables that determine the operation of transient capture capability of the DataNode are the waveform trigger parameter, instantaneous peak waveform trigger level, and dual peak high frequency detector output trigger level. Values for these parameters are set under Waveform change magnitude limit and

Waveform change duration limit. Limit values can be enabled and programmed individually for each phase-toneutral and phase-to-phase setting. To activate the waveform limit values, click theWaveform change limit

The enable box refers to the Enable periodic sampling parameter. Note that the 5560 DataNode has an internal limit on the number of variables it can track for the purpose of periodic recording and limit rule evaluation.

Indiscriminate selection of parameters should be avoided.



High-High limit - specifies an absolute limit for comparison that is higher than the high limit.

Low-Low limit - specifies an absolute limit for comparison lower than the low limit.

Deadband limit - specifies how much a value can change before another event is recorded.

Harmonics are waveform distortion, a steady-state deviation from an ideal power frequency sinusoid and is characterized by the spectral content of the waveform.

Many non-linear devices such as battery chargers, switching power supplies or transformers inject currents at harmonic (integer multiples of the fundamental) frequencies into the system.

Under ENABLE TRENDING (THIS PAGE) is a checkbox in the value field opposite Harmonics. The box enables the trending of values listed in Harmonics page.

If the box is checked, the settings on the page go into effect. If the box is not checked, the remaining settings are persisted but are not in effect.


CHANGE, various harmonic parameters can be trended using periodic readings that are stored in a journal.

Harmonic distortion of voltage or current is calculated through a Fourier transformation of the waveform into harmonic magnitudes and phase angle spectra. These spectra are used to determine figures of merit such as total harmonic distortion (THD) and telephone influence factor (TIF). (See Appendix A Quantities Calculated from

Periodic Voltage and Current Measurements)

The InfoNode/DataNode system allows simultaneous measurements of voltage and current so that harmonic power flow can be obtained. Depending on value parameters set, the program can record a sampling of the waveform synchronized to the fundamental frequency, to ensure accurate calculation of harmonic phase angles. The sampling rate is sufficient to determine up to the 50th harmonic or better. A comprehensive range of high and low limits can be enabled and individually set for each measured parameter.

Highlight the value parameter you wish to change then check the Enable periodic sampling box. Check the threshold enable box and then enter the value for that threshold. Repeat this for all parameters of interest.










For example, if the Voltage Harmonic RMS is detected to cross the threshold limit, then an event is recorded. If the

Voltage Harmonic RMS goes from out of limits to within limits (that is, below the high limit minus the hysteresis and above the low limit plus the hysteresis), then the event is recorded. All activated Harmonic parameters and value settings defined can be viewed under the Real-time tab.

Transducers are typically PTs (potential transformers) and

CTs (current transformers) that are used to interface the instrument to the power circuit. PTs allow the instrument to measure circuits that are not within the measurement range of the instrument. CTs measure the current of the circuit and convert it to within the measurement range of the instrument.

For Phase rotation, users can choose whether to have phasor shift clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the way they have set up their system. Click the value field to display the drop down menu featuring Normal

(counter clockwise) or Reverse (clockwise). Either orientation will yield the same mathematical calculations of voltage and current measurements. The 5560 is able to automatically determine phase rotation of the voltage channels and then match up the current channels. The

5560 DataNode will swap voltage phases to ensure positive sequence phase rotation (counter clockwise according to IEEE definitions) and then swap and invert current channels to match.


phase-to-neutral or phase-to-phase values displayed depend upon the Wiring


Channel mapping is used to correct for errors in wiring the instrument to the circuit. If a mistake is made, such as an inverted CT or a phase is connected to the wrong channel, it can be corrected in software instead of changing the wiring to the instrument. Note that it is recommended that the actual wiring be changed but channel mapping can correct the problem if this is not practical.

A channel-mapping array is provided to permit manual configuration of channel swapping and inversion. Under

CHANNEL MAPPING, click on the corresponding voltage or current phase to show which channel the

Signal is connected to. Click and enable the value field opposite Channel is inverted to as it applies.

The channel-mapping array works by specifying a numeric code in each array slot that indicates which phase is connected to the physical 5560 DataNode channel.

The DataNode employs two A/D converters to sample the voltage and current channels for a given phase simultaneously. Measurement errors may result if the voltage and current signals are not correctly paired. Under TRANSDUCER

RATIOS, users can set values for the Transducer Primary and Transducer Secondary. Values to account for any voltage or current transformers can be entered for each input channel. The primary and secondary values are entered. For example, if the primary voltage is 2400 volts and the secondary voltage is 120 volts, then those values should be entered. This gives an effective 20:1 reduction in voltage.

When the input voltage to the DataNode is 120V, the displayed value will be 2400 volts. The Magnitude

correction, Phase correction, and DC offset values are not programmable.

Parameters under the Advanced tab allow the administrator or user to set up functions that affect communications, information access and download between the InfoNode and DataNode systems.

The 5560 can be configured to issue a UDP cross-trigger broadcast message when RMS variation and/or Transient occurs. The 5560 can also be configured to listen for such messages and cause RMS variation or transient recording to occur regardless of whether or not its own trigger conditions for that instrument were met. Under CROSS TRIG-

GERING, a Broadcast Group ID is assigned to allow for different groups of cross-trigger senders/recipients. The broadcast ID number in the InfoNode must match the broadcast group ID set under the TCP/IP parameter of the

Datanode. The DataNode also uses this ID mechanism for multiple DataNode cross triggering and is guaranteed only on an un-routed network. The group ID is sent along with the broadcast message and only those receivers with the same group ID will respond to the broadcast if so enabled.

The broadcast address can be specified to send a broadcast to a directed broadcast address other than the local network if desired but results cannot be guaranteed and data may be lost if the message takes too long to arrive at its destination.

Checkboxes are seen opposite the next four items Enable

sending rms trigger, Enable responding to received rms

trigger, Enable sending transient trigger, Enable

responding to received transient trigger. The user specifies which event types are generated and/or listened for through these checkboxes.When said parameters are activated, the system in effect utilizes trigger messages as trip signals. If Broadcast address is empty, message broadcast is routed through the local network. The user specifies a group ID and optionally a broadcast address.

Under COMMUNICATIONS, users are given the option to return to the default InfoNode or DataNode settings When

configurations differ and communication errors occur.

Access privileges are determined under PASSWORDS.

The passwords entered in the InfoNode system must match the ones stored under the Password section of the

DataNode. Otherwise, access to information may be denied. The User Account Password and Admin Account

Password refer to two different user categories. An Admin

User can create and add an account for a new Basic User.

Both Admin and Basic users can assign properties such as their own user name and password. Refer to the Users section on Chapter 7 Setup Page for more details on this.

The default InfoNode Access User ID is 'admin'. This has a matching valid InfoNode Access Password. The default password is ‘password’. These parameters allow access to view and change information in the InfoNode system. The default Firmware Access User ID is

'admin'. This also has a matching valid Firmware

Access Password. These parameters allow access to view and change information in the DataNode system.

To change passwords, simply click on the Password value fields. A confirmation window appears everytime you click on the password value field. The window asks whether you want to change and save a new password.

Parameters are also available for ONE TIME OPERA-

TIONS on the 5560 DataNode. These one time procedures include configuring the DataNode to its default settings and/or clearing memory space by rebooting.

Observe caution in undertaking these procedures since they cannot be undone. To return to the default

DataNode settings, activate the Reset 302 default setup value field. To clear old data and reboot DataNode, activate the Clear 332 Database and reboot value field. To execute both procedures at one time, activate Do both of

the above. To save memory space, the administrator or user may choose to activate Don't save data from next

download. To discard the most recent journal ID entries, activate the Clear last journal ID value field.

Finally, parameters for downloading new or updated firmware are available under ONE TIME FIRMWARE

OPERATIONS. A firmware is a program or instruction stored in Flash memory which implements the communications interface and data acquisition between the outside world and the instrument. Based on the parameters available, the administrator or user can activate value fields to Load IOP firmware or to Load ACP

firmware or to Load both IOP and ACP firmware.

The IOP and ACP firmware are two different sets of firmware. The IOP communicates directly with the

InfoNode, while the ACP is comprised of the host CPU and DSP. If the value fields are activated, new firmware is downloaded on demand from InfoNode to DataNode.

New firmware is downloaded automatically if the boot

ROM finds that the existing firmware in the DataNode is missing or corrupt. The administrator or user also has the option to Load Both (IOP and ACP) firmware to

all DataNodes. Download is accomplished using the standard Internet File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The

DataNode must be connected to the network where the updates are to be extracted from to ensure a successful download. Since these one time operations cannot be undone, observe caution when performing download firmware procedures.

In connection with electric utility billing practices, the

InfoNode and DataNode system has an interface to reset demand and energy accumulation readings. The

Accumulator Resets tab allows one to reset the parameters to defined values, but not to change or configure new values. The notation 'Never reset' appears to mean that the parameter values register original readings and have never been reset at any time. The moment the reset parameter is activated/enabled, the notation will change and will reflect the date and time of last reset.

Under DEMAND RESETS, Real or True Phase power demand, Reactive power demand, and Apparent power demand can be reset. See Appendix E Glossary for the definitions of the various power parameter values. The system maintains a running maximum known as "peak demand" on per phase basis and per average demand current value. It also stores the date and time of each peak demand. Peak demand is the maximum electrical power load consumed or produced in a defined period of time.

Values

Under ENERGY ACCUMULATORS, the system calculates and stores accumulated values for energy (in kWHr unit), reactive energy (in kVarH unit), and apparent energy (in kVAH unit). Kilowatt-Hour (kWHr) is the equivalent energy supplied by a power of 1000 watts for one hour. Watt is the unit for real power. Kilovar-hour

(kVarH) is equal to 1000 reactive volt-ampere hours. Var is an abbreviation for volt ampere reactive. It measures the integral of the reactive power of the circuit into which the instrument is connected. Var is the unit for reactive power. Kilovolt-ampere (kVA) is equivalent to 1000 volt-amperes. VA is the unit for apparent power. Apparent power is the product of voltage and current of a singlephase circuit in which the two reach their peaks at different times. See Appendix F Glossary for the definitions of the various power parameter values.

The accumulated energy values include real power factor

(average three-phase) which is mathematically defined as

"demand kW/demand kVA". It also displays integrated


and total integrated reactive power. The system also calculates and stores apparent energy (VA). Real Power (W) and

Apparent Power (VA) are reset together; you cannot reset one without resetting the other. Likewise, the Watthour

Meter and Varhour Meter are reset together.

The system uses the fundamental frequency as reference for calculating energy values in one of two modes: forward or reverse. In forward mode, the circuit monitor

5560 QOS

10 considers the direction of power flow, allowing the accumulated energy magnitude to both increase and decrease.

In reverse mode, the circuit monitor accumulates energy as positive, regardless of the direction of power flow. In other words, the energy value increases, even during reverse power flow. The default accumulation mode is reverse.

ADAM Handler Setup

ADAM Instrument Handler Setup

This section applies to the set up of the individual InfoNode ADAM instrument handler. Programming of individual modules are accomplished via switch settings on the modules themselves. This handler supports both the 4000 and 5000 series modules from Advantech. The 4000 series consists of stand alone modules, where each module is assigned a unique RS-485 address between 1 and 254. The 5000 series uses a single chassis to hold 4 or 8 modules. The chassis is assigned a single RS-485 address and the individual modules are addressed by slot number within the chassis. Note that the ADAM 5000 chasis can communicate with the InfoNode via RS-485 (requires external adaptor) or RS-232.

ADAM Module Connection Setup

The following are required to setup and configure an ADAM environment:

ADAM Modules

A host computer, such as an IBM PC/AT, that can output ASCII characters with an RS-232 or RS485 port

Power supply for the ADAM Modules (+10 and +30 VDC)

ADAM Series Utility software

ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter (optional)

ADAM Repeater (optional)

Host Computer: Any computer or terminal that can output in ASCII format over either RS-232 or RS-485 can be connected as the host computer. When only RS-232 is available, an ADAM RS-232/RS-485 Converter is required to transform the host signals to the correct RS-485 protocol. Since this module is not addressable by the host, the baud rate must be set using a switch inside the module. The factory default setting is 9600 baud. The converter also provides opto-isolation and transformer-based isolation to protect your equipment.

Power Supply: ADAM Module operation is guaranteed when using any power supply between +10 and +30 VDC. All power supply specifications are referenced at module connector. When modules are powered remotely, the effects of line voltage drops must be considered. All modules use on-board switching regulators to sustain good efficiency over the +10 and +30 V input range, therefore we can assume that the actual current draw is inversely proportional to the line voltage.

Select power cables according to the number of modules connected and the length of the power lines.

ADAM Utility Software: A menu-driven program is provided for ADAM Module configuration, monitoring and calibration. Dranetz-BMI ships ADAM Modules with the necessary Windows driver and the Utility software disk.

ADAM Repeater: When communication lines exceed 4,000 ft (1200 meter) or the number of ADAM modules connected is more than 32, a repeater should be connected to expand the first segment. Up to 8 Repeater modules can be connected allowing connection of up to 256 ADAM modules.

ADAM 4060 Contact Closure Module Setup

The ADAM 4060 relay contact closure module is used to signal notifications to designated recipients. Data for the

ADAM modules may be configured in various format, one of which is the hexadecimal format. The procedure below describes how to set up the optional ADAM contact module to relay notifications from DualNode 5593 to the designated recipient.

NOTE: Only those with admin privileges may set whether to dispatch notifications or not. Users who access the

InfoNode system as Guest, Viewer or Operator are not allowed to dispatch notifications nor change time settings when notifications will be sent to recipients.

1. The RS232 cable between COM1 on the InfoNode and the ADAM 232 to 485 converter is wired 'straight' (as in

Dranetz-BMI 8010 PQNode) i.e. not null Modem.

2. There is no need to set up an ADAM 4060 or 5060 DataNode. It is just an alarm feature programmed in the

Recipients section.

3. Using the setup functions under Setup Page, set the unit up as a recipient. Recipients determine who will receive notifications.

4. Enable the Dispatch Notifications field in the Recipients setup screen. Go to Setup Page - Notifications > Recipients

> General tab. See page 7-5 for more information on the Recipients - General properties tab.

12-8

When a general purpose analog input module or thermocouple module with voltage or current range is selected the

Channel Tab contains the following properties.

The tab shows each channel available for the selected module and range. The channels are labeled Channel 0 through

Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the parameters for that channel.

The Enable property signals that the selected channel is to be monitored and stored.

The Channel Name property is used to label and select this channel in other interfaces in the InfoNode. Any arbitrary name with up to 80 characters can be specified .

The Quantity Measured, Characteristic and Units properties are used to define the channel type in the InfoNode database. An example might be Voltage (Quantity Measured), Instantaneous Sampled (Characteristic), and Volts (Units).

The Channel Scale property specifies the number used to scale the value read from the ADAM Module. This depends on the transducers that are measuring the real signal. For instance, a speed sensor might output 1 Volt per 50 rpm which would give a Channel Scale of 50.

The Channel Offset property allows an offset to be applied to the signal measured from ADAM module. This must be specified in scaled units. If a pressure transducer were to output 0 volts at 1000 mbar and you desire a reading of 1000 mbar, specify 1000 for the offset assuming the appropriate scale was specified in the Channel Scale to convert input signal to mbar.

The Averaging Interval property is used to tell the system how often to store values for this unit. The signals are sampled as quickly as the system can depending upon the number of instruments attached. The data is aggregated into minimum, maximum and average values over the averaging period and stored at the end of the interval.

5. Channel tab (for General Digital Input Modules - ADAM 4050/4052, 5050/5052)

The tab shows each channel available for the selected module. The channels are labeled Channel 0 through Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the parameters for that channel. Note that while the channels on the ADAM units begin numbering at 0, the channel numbering here begins at 1. Input 0 maps to channel 1, input 1 maps to channel 2, etc.

The Enable property signals that this channel is to be monitored and stored. When the channel is enabled, a steady state trend entry is made at every transition from low to high or high to low.

The Channel Name property is used to label and select this channel in other interfaces of the InfoNode. Any arbitrary name with up to 80 characters can be specified .

The Hi to lo transition trigger property when checked will cause an event to be generated whenever the signal transitions from a logical 1 to a logical 0.

The Lo to hi transition trigger property when checked will cause an event to be generated whenever the input signal transitions from a logical 0 to logical 1.

12-10


Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the parameters for that channel.

The Enable property signals that the selected channel is to be monitored and stored.

The Channel Name property is used to label and select the channel in other interfaces of the InfoNode. Any arbitrary name with up to 80 characters can be specified.

The Data Recording Type property specifies how the data is to be stored. Data storage options are either Interval or

Accumulator. For Interval data, the value of the counter at the beginning of the sampling interval is subtracted from the value of the counter at the end of the interval. For Accumulator data, accumulated value of the counter is stored.

The Quantity Measured, Characteristic and Units properties are used to define the channel type in the InfoNode database. Selection from these characteristics allows the InfoNode to group the channel with appropriate channels during selection, and allow some reports to include the signals measured in more meaningful ways. Sample input values are

Voltage (for Quantity Measured), Instantaneous Sampled (for Characteristic), and Volts (for Units).

The Channel Scale property specifies the number used to scale the value read from the ADAM unit to the value you wish to record. This depends on the transducers that are measuring the real signal. For instance, a flow sensor might output 5 counts per liter. If the unit of measure is in liters, the scale would be 1/5 or 0.20.

The Channel Offset property allows an offset to be applied to the signal measured from ADAM module. This must be specified in scaled units. If a pressure transducer were to output 0 volts at 1000 mbar and you desire a reading of 1000 mbar, specify 1000 for the offset assuming the appropriate scale was specified in the Channel Scale to convert input signal to mbar.

The Averaging Interval property indicates how often the value should be saved. The values are read as fast as possible to allow trigger checking as specified on the Advanced tab.


7. Advanced tab

ADAM Handler Setup

12

The Advance tab is available for all analog and counter modules. It allows the specification of threshold limits for the input channels.


Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the thresholds for that channel.

There are 4 threshold settings available. These are used to specify the four available threshold trigger levels: Low-Low,

Low, High and High-High. Each threshold can be independently enabled and set.

Specifications

Theory of operation and detailed hardware description

The InfoNode is based on a PC-104 bus architecture as opposed to a PC ISA, EISA, or PCI bus. The CPU motherboard acts as the PC-104 backplane and implements a

PC architecture parallel port, serial RS-232/485 ports, an

Ethernet port, and a watchdog timer circuit. The parallel port on 5502/04 is used as the interface to the power supply board.

There are three PC-104 modules used with the system the GPS, the Modem, and the solid state flash drive. The solid state flash drive (16 MB for standard version) is the core storage in the system for the primary system firmware (3 MB) and also holds the data. The GPS uses the Rockwell Zodiac chipset and is operated in binary mode. The GPS is interfaced into the system by an onboard serial port (COM3) and via a hard wired interrupt request line (IRQ15). The optional modem is a 56 kbps

PC-104 bus modem that has an on-board serial port

(COM4). The 5504 replaces the solid state Flash drive with a hard disk.

The motherboard also supports 1024K of on-board, write protected flash memory which is used to hold the low level boot code and diagnostics. This firmware allows communication with the instrument even if the storage is completely disabled. The InfoNode firmware architecture is based on booting to the PharLap operating system monitor via this boot flash, then transferring control to either the diagnostics program in the boot flash or to the primary operating firmware on the solid-state drive.

In addition to the PC-104 based CPU and boards, the

InfoNode contains two additional boards - the power supply and the power supply control board and UPS. These boards power the unit, provide UPS capability during an interruption or RMS variation, and is also where the hard drive is mounted (5504). The power supply board communicates with the CPU board via a parallel port interface. This interface allows the InfoNode firmware to detect when the power supply transitions to UPS so that e-mail and/or pager notifications can occur and orderly system shutdown can proceed. Upon a long duration interruption, the InfoNode sends a signal to the power supply board every few seconds to keep the UPS running until these tasks are complete.

The InfoNode is an integral system component that participates in a hierarchical store-and-forward data/information management system with the added benefit of advanced information processing at each stage in the chain (DataNode, InfoNode, NodeCenter, NodeLink).

Data is stored internally using the Power Quality Data

Interchange Format (PQDIF) developed by Electrotek, now being standardized by the IEEE as part of standard

1159.3. The system also uses ISO communication protocols (UCA). For enterprise systems, at the top of the hierarchy is the NodeCenter management system (both

Utility and Facility versions) that is Microsoft NT Server

4.0/5.0 based. All end-user interaction with individual

DataNodes, InfoNodes and the NodeCenter system is via a WWW browser. There are some stand-alone utility programs for administrative use when the NodeCenter software is not available (like backup/restore of individual

InfoNode databases, and periodic download of PQDIF databases).

Signature System Network Capabilities

The Signature System uses industry standard TCP/IP network communication. The Signature System is configurable to work with most popular network addressing schemes, including Classes A, B, and C. Most company local area networks or LANs utilize the Class C addressing scheme. Class C is also well suited for small stand-alone networks. For these reasons, the factory default and the shipped network settings of the Signature

System makes use of the Class C addressing scheme.

For proper operation, the addressing scheme of the Signature System devices must match the addressing scheme of the network to which they are connected. For example, you cannot mix Class C and Class B hosts on the same physical network.

Description of Networking Classes

IP Addressing

An IP address is a 32-bit number, usually represented in a dotted decimal notation

(i.e. 146.34.47.24), which uniquely identifies every host connected to an internet network.

Each field between the periods is an 8-bit number (called an octet), with values between 0 and 255.

The numbers 0, 127, and 255, however, have special meanings when they appear.

For an unknown address, Zeros are used, i.e. when a machine is requesting that a server assign to it an IP address.

When a machine refers to its own address, 127 is used. The terminology for this is loopback.

To broadcast a packet to every host on a local network, the value 255 is used.

Hosts use these addresses to send each IP packet along to its final destination. Routing is the process of deciding how a particular packet travels to its final destination.

There are several classes of IP addresses as defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force):

Class A - very large networks

Class B - large networks

Class C - small networks

Class D - multicast

Class E - reserved future use

There are two parts to an IP address. Where the division takes place depends on the network class. The first part of the address is the network address; the remaining part is the host address.


Appendix

E

Class A

Class A is for very large networks. The first octet is of the form 0xxxxxxx, which means it can range from 1 to 126. Networks of this type use only the first octet as the network address. This means there can only be

126 Class A Networks. The remaining portion, the next 3 octets or 24 bits, form the host address. This allows

16,194,277 computers on a Class A network. An example of a Class A IP Address is 10.0.0.0, with a Subnet

Mask of 255.0.0.0.

Class B

Class B is for large networks. It is common for universities to have Class B addresses assigned to them. The first octet has the form 10xxxxxx, which can range from 128 to 191. The definition of network address for

Class B is the first two octets, which allows 16,382 Class B networks. The last two octets form the host address, allowing 64,009 hosts (remember that 0, 127, and 255 cannot be used) on each Class B network. An example of a Class B IP Address is 129.10.0.0, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0.

Class C

Class C is for small networks, where the first octet is of the form 110xxxxx, which can range from 192 to

223. The network address consists of the first three octets, allowing 1,984,279 different Class C networks with only 253 hosts per network. An example of a Class C IP Address is 192.168.1.0, with a Subnet Mask of

255.255.255.0.

Other Classes

The IP specification states that addresses whose first octet have the form 111xxxxx are 'extended' addresses, reserved for future use. Since the first three classes were defined, Class D, Multicast, was added to the list.

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks:

Class A

Class B

Class C

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)

172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

Note that by definition, these test network addresses are not routable on the Internet.
