Profitability with power monitoringIf you knew where and how to cut peak demand power usage, you couldlower your electric bills and your company’s cost of product. But how canyou, when you have no idea how your demand patterns relate to produc-tion?

Perhaps you would like to stretch this year’s budget by deferring thepurchase of a new substation, but you are not sure you have enoughcapacity to accommodate the vital new process equipment you need toinstall. Take a chance and the whole line could go down–at who knowswhat cost in downtime. If you only knew where and how much excesscapacity you have.

Electric utility deregulationis changing the way youbuy electricity. But do youknow all you need to knowabout your electricalneeds, including thequality of power needed,in addition to knowingwhen and how muchpower is needed?

Electricity–once consid-ered an uncontrollablecost of doing business–isbrought under controlthrough power monitoringand control systems. Witha power monitoring and control system, a facility engineer has the ability tolocate trouble spots and prevent outages or downtime, as well as deter-mine energy use by department or product line.

The POWERLOGIC Power Monitoring and Control System from Square Dis an innovative total system solution to managing electricity and improvingthe reliability of power distribution equipment. The POWERLOGIC systemcombines microprocessor-based instrumentation and control to provideadvanced features for industrial, commercial and utility electrical systems.The POWERLOGIC system’s exceptionally accurate instruments, high-speed communications network, and fully integrated power monitoringapplication software make these benefits possible.

Controlling costs to maximize profitsOne of the keys to maximizing profit is by controlling costs. A powermonitoring system helps you do that in two ways. It allows you to betterknow the impact electrical costs have on your operating costs, and givesyou the information you need to purchase electricity more cost effectively.

Reduction of downtimeMinimizing downtime is critical to the profitability every operation. Unex-pected power outages and having key pieces of equipment shut downsuddenly is expensive due to the time required to find the source of theproblem, correct it, and get production started again. The loss of productadds additional expense. The key is to identify potential problems andcorrect them proactively. For example, the current on a critical motor mayhave become higher than normal. A bearing may be failing. The powermonitoring system’s overload alarm alerts the operator of the situation sothe problem can be identified and corrected with a minimum of downtime.

The POWERLOGIC system provides the informationyou need to control utility costs and, perhaps moreimportant, downtime costs.

From the personal computer on your desk, you can runthe world’s most powerful monitoring and control system:the POWERLOGIC system.

Power Monitor ing and Contro lSystems Introduct ion

Improve power qualityPower quality concerns include making sure the power delivered to criticalmachines and processes is both clean and dependable. Computers andmicroprocessor-based control systems are very sensitive to the quality ofpower they use. The first step to solving power quality problems is todetermine the magnitude of the problem. This is one of the functions of thepower monitoring system.

Lower energy costsThe power monitoring system can help lower energy costs in several ways.First, demand charges can often be reduced through the analysis ofmaximum and minimum readings and reviewing time and trend plots ofdata logs. Alarms can be triggered to warn when the system is in danger ofcreating new peaks. Second, power factor penalties can be reduced byusing power factor correction capacitors (PFCs). But to use PFCs correctly,you need to know what your power factor is and the harmonic content ofthe circuit. The power monitoring system can be used to determine whenand where capacitors should be used. Finally, the POWERLOGIC systemprovides you with the information about yourpower requirements so you can take full advan-tage of the electrical utitlity deregulation opportu-nities.

Allocate energy costsMore and more companies want to know not onlyhow much energy they are using, but where theyare using it. Competitive pressures necessitateknowing all the costs associated with a product,including the cost of power to produce it. Inaddition, efforts to closely manage energy costsare easier to evaluate when the costs are brokendown by area. The POWERLOGIC system cancreate the trend plots and reports allocating theenergy costs the way you need them.

Better utilization of power distributionequipmentA common question asked is “Does the existingdistribution equipment have enough capacity?” Apower monitoring system with thePOWERLOGIC software displays the data logsin the form of time trend plots. Peak informationfrom date and time stamps of maximum readingsis also useful. This shows which distributionequipment is under utilized, or near overload. Allthis information can be used to obtain themaximum use of existing equipment, and tomore accurately design future distributionequipment.

Special monitoring and control systemsPower monitoring is often just part of thesolution. Monitoring other utilities such as gas,water, and steam may be needed. Sequence ofevents monitoring can be critical. Monitoring andcontrol of generators and transfer switches maybe required.

shedding and restoring loads may be key to minimizing energy costs ormaintaining critical circuits. There are POWERLOGIC solutions for all thesesystems.

How do power monitoring and control systems work?Power monitoring systems monitor the flow of electrical power in circuitsthroughout the plant. In the POWERLOGIC system, highly accurate circuitmonitors and power meters are dedicated to power monitoring, while othercompatible devices collect additional equipment information from protectiverelays, circuit breakers, transformer temperature controllers, andpanelboards.

Electrical data–such as current, power, energy, waveforms, and equipmentstatus–is passed over a data network to one or more personal computers.The personal computers run power monitoring application software thatretrieves, stores, organizes, and displays real-time circuit information insimple, usable formats.

The information collected and stored in a power monitoring system helpsoperate a facility more efficiently. Of course, the quality of the data dependson the accuracy of the instrumentation and the usability of the displayformats. A POWERLOGIC system provides this accuracy in a format that iseasy to use and understand.

Accurate monitoring devicesEach POWERLOGIC monitoring device is a multi-function, digitalinstrumentation, data acquisition device capable of replacing a variety ofmeters, relays, transducers, and other components.

POWERLOGIC system devices can be integrated with Square D’selectrical power distribution products or retrofit into existing equipment. Theresult is a distributed network of intelligent, accurate monitoring devicesreporting to one or more centralized locations.

Flexible connectivity and network topologiesAll POWERLOGIC-compatible devices are equipped with an RS-485network communication port for integration into a POWERLOGIC powermonitoring and control system. Up to 32 devices can be daisy-chained anddirectly connected to a personal computer, system display, Ethernet

gateway (TCP/IP and OSI), or POWERLOGIC networkinterface module (PNIM). Square D can provideindustrially hardened local area networks, or connect toexisting networks, either local or wide area. Othercommunication options such as fiber optics andmodems, including telephone and radio, are alsoavailable. The POWERLOGIC system makes it easy toallow localized, distributed, remote, and any mixednetwork combination.

Powerful software solutionsThe POWERLOGIC application software series offers avariety of power monitoring solutions, allowing you tomonitor, display, and store vast amounts of informationfrom all of the POWERLOGIC compatible devices.

Organized and usable informationThe POWERLOGIC application software seriesautomatically integrates real-time circuit information intoorganized and usable formats. Without any custom

No other monitor gives you more standard communications capabilitiesthan the POWERLOGIC circuit monitor. And once the data gets to yourcomputer, there’s no better way to make sure of all the information thanSystem Manager™ 3000 software.

Power Meters

Basic Metering Solution and MoreThe POWERLOGIC Power Meter is designed for use in basic powermetering applications. It can replace conventional metering devices suchas ammeters, voltmeters, and watt-hour meters while providing powerfulcapabilities not offered by analog metering. The power meter’s true rmsreadings (31st harmonic response) accurately reflect non-linear circuitloading more than conventional analog metering devices. The power metercalculates the neutral current, which can assist in identifying overloadedneutrals due to either unbalanced single phase loads or triplen harmonics.Circuits can be closely monitored for available capacity by keeping track ofthe peak average demand current. Accurate circuit loading information isessential to get the most out of existing power equipment while maintainingpower system reliability.

The power meter provides a full complement of accurate true rms meteringvalues through the optional display, or via the standard RS-485 communi-cation port to a POWERLOGIC Power Monitoring and Control System. Amodel PM-600 power meter module replaces a full complement of basicanalog meters including a watt-hour meter. The model PM-620 powermeter module extends the metering capabilities to report power and currentreadings including the date and time of occurrence. The model PM-620also provides neutral current and per phase THD for each metered currentand voltage. Refer to the tables for information about the metering valuesreported by each model. A KYZ output is included to communicate energyand demand information to third party energy management systems.

Mounting FlexibilityThe power meter’s small size and variety of mounting configurations allowit to be readily installed in new equipment or retrofit into existing equipment.The power meter module can be mounted onto a35mm DIN rail, or it can be mounted on any flatsurface using its four mounting feet. For addedsimplicity in retrofit installations, the panelmounting hole patterns for both the power metermodule and the optional power meter displaymatch the conventional 4-inch ammeter/voltme-ter spacing so the meter and the display can bemounted back-to-back on opposite sides of apanel surface. In metering installations of 600 Vand below, the power meter provides additionalsavings in both cost and mounting space by eliminating the need for PTsand control power transformers.

Versatile DisplayThe optional power meter display mounts in the same space as a conven-

tional 4-inch ammeter and is connected to the powermeter module with a communication cable. With the2-line by 16-character LCD display, the user canview metering data, and access the passwordprotected meter setup and resets menus. Since thepower meter display can be mounted up to 50 feetaway from the power meter module, power meteringcan now be installed in tight equipment spaces

without sacrificing convenient and affordable local display. The communi-cations port on the power meter display is optically isolated from the 600 Vmetering connections.

Ci rcui t Moni tors

Comprehensive MeteringThe POWERLOGIC Circuit Monitor installs on a 3-phase circuit like aconventional watthour meter, but it delivers far more information. In fact,the circuit monitor can replace more than 100 conventional indicatingmeters. All circuit monitors perform highly accurate, true rms metering. TheCM-2050 offers comprehensive metering with 1% accuracy on current andvoltage. Models CM-2150 and higher provide 0.2% accuracy on currentand voltage, and 0.4% accuracy on power and energy.

Protective FunctionsA circuit monitor equipped with an I/O module can perform certain motorprotective functions. These include phase loss, phase reversal, undervoltage, and more. Once the circuit monitor detects the abnormal condition,the output relay switches within 1–3 seconds. Each protective function canoperate one or more form-C, 10 ampere relays. Each relay can be acti-vated by multiple protective functions. These functions are passwordprotected.

Power Quality ReadingsTotal Harmonic Distortion (THD) for current, voltage, and k-factor readingsindicate potential power quality problems which, unchecked, could disruptcritical processes or damage equipment.

Programming CapabilitiesThe CM-2450 Circuit Monitor is programmed using simple math functions,timers, and compare statements to customize data logging, controlfunctions, and more. For example, you could write a program that logs databy exception rather than at regular intervals, thus maximizing the circuitmonitor’s memory. Meter values can be analyzed in the circuit monitor andsummarized in daily, weekly, and monthly reports.

Easy SetupBasic circuit monitor setup can be performed from either the front of thecircuit monitor, or a personal computer running POWERLOGIC applicationsoftware. The PC connects to the circuit monitor using either the systemnetwork or an optical communications interface. No thumbwheel or DIPswitches are involved; therefore, after installation, setup parameters suchas the unit address, CT ratio, PT ratio, and baud rate can be configuredwithout exposing personnel to live conductors. For security, all setupinformation is password protected.

Flexible CommunicationsOptically isolated RS-485 communications connect a network of circuitmonitors into a power monitoring and control system. The industriallyhardened network communicates at speeds up to 500K Baud. It allows avirtually unlimited number of devices to communicate, including circuitmonitors, multiple personal computers, POWERLOGIC trip units for lowvoltage power circuit breakers, MICROLOGIC® solid state circuit breakers,and other compatible devices.

Extended Memory OptionsCircuit monitors provide different amounts of non-volatile memory. Forexample, the CM-2452 can store more than 180,000 values, includingdates and times. The memory can be allocated among an event log, awaveform capture log, an event capture log, and up to 14 data logs. Thetable on the bottom of page 14 shows a typical example of how the user

might configure the available memory for various models.

Alarm/Relay FunctionsCircuit monitors can detect over 100 alarm situations, including over/underconditions, status input changes, and phase unbalance conditions. Eachalarm condition can be set to automatically operate one or more circuitmonitor relays. Multiple alarms can be assigned to each relay. Up to threeform-C, 10 A mechanical relays and one solid-state output are available.

On-Board Alarm/Event LoggingWhen an alarm occurs, the circuit monitor can log the event type, date andtime, and the most extreme reading during the pick-up delay. When thealarm condition drops out, the dropout date/time and the most extremereading during the entire event will be logged. The size of the event log canbe user configured.

Data LoggingCircuit monitors are available with non-volatile memory for storing meterread-ings at regular intervals. A user can configure the size and structure ofup to 14 independent data logs to record metered data at intervals from 1minute to 24 hours. Each data log entry can contain up to 100 values(including date/time). Models CM-2150 and -2250 store up to 5,632 values.Models CM-2350 and -2450 store up to 51,200 values. Model CM-2452stores over 180,000 values.

Downloadable FirmwareThe circuit monitor is designed to take advantage of technological ad-vances. As Square D introduces more powerful versions of each circuitmonitor, upgrade kits allow the user to install the new capabilities withoutchanging wiring or hardware. This is possible because the circuit monitorhas downloadable firmware. The new firmware is transmitted from a PCinto the circuit monitor, using the front optical communications port or therear RS-485 port. The equipment containing the monitor does not have tobe de-energized. This allows you to keep your circuit monitors up to datewith the latest enhancements, minimizing the fear of obsolescence.

Field Installable I/O ModulesField installable input/output modules provide maximum flexibility, whilekeeping the costs for an application at a minimum. An I/O module can beeasily installed on the back of the circuit monitor. Seven different I/Omodules are available. The modules provide various combinations of digitaland analog I/O, ranging from 1 digital input and 1 digital output to 4 digital

inputs, 4 digital outputs, 4 analog inputs, and 4 analog outputs.

Two inputs and one output perform special functions. Status input S1 canbe configured to accept a demand synch pulse from a utility demand meter.Status input S2 is a high-speed input; it can be connected to an externalrelay to trigger the circuit monitor’s event capture. The KYZ solid-stateoutput is ideal for pulse initiator applications. The form C, 10 amp me-chanical relay outputs are extremely flexible—each can be configured forremote (external) or circuit monitor (internal) control. In addition, eachoutput can be configured for normal, latched, timed, or one of six differentpulse initiator modes. The analog inputs are field convertible from 0–5 Vdcto 4–20 mA.

Waveform CaptureSquare D pioneered the concept of “waveform capture.” Circuit monitorsuse a patented, high-speed sampling technique to sample 64 times per

cycle on all current andvoltage signals simulta-neously. The capturedwaveforms are stored inthe circuit monitormemory for retrievaland display by POW-ERLOGIC applicationsoftware. Waveformcaptures are triggeredinternally or externally.A personal computercan send a signal overthe communicationsnetwork or through theoptical communicationsport. An external signal,for example, from anovercurrent relay, can

be received through a high-speed input. The waveform capture can also betriggered internally by any of over 100 user-defined alarm conditions,including high or low power factor, %THD, or phase loss.

Sag/Swell DetectionThe circuit monitor can continuously monitor for sags and swells on anymetered voltage or current. This feature can help detect and analyzetroublesome voltage disturbances that can cause costly equipment downtime. The circuit monitor detects sags and swells based on user-definedsetpoints and delays (in cycles). When the circuit monitor detects a voltageor current disturbance, it performs an event capture to record the distur-bance. This capture is configurable for 12, 24, 36, 48, or 60 cycles. It isperformed using the same patented, 64 samples-per-cycle sampling rateas the waveform capture. The user selects the number of pre-event cycles,ranging from 2 to 10 cycles. Thus, the event capture shows the circuit bothbefore and after the disturbance. The event can be date and time stampedto the millisecond, and recorded in the event log.

Mounting OptionsIn addition to the standard flush mounting, several other mounting optionsare available. For applications requiring an indoor general purpose surfacemounted (NEMA 1) enclosure, a 3090 SMA-220 is used. The circuit

monitor mounts through the door of the enclosure, providing easy accessto the rear of the monitor. The enclosure is deep enough to accommodate

options, including I/Omodules and voltagepower modules.

For applications wheredepth in the equipmentenclosure is critical,POWERLOGIC providesthe 3090 CMA-100 and3090 CMA-110 adapters.The CMA-100 reducesthe depth requirements byextending the circuit

monitor beyond the front of the equipment. The CMA110 allows thevoltage/power module and some I/O modules to be mounted off of the backof the circuit monitor.

Control Power OptionsIn addition to CT and PT inputs, the circuit monitor requires control power.The circuit monitor accepts a wide range of voltages including 120/240 Vacnominal or 125/250 Vdc nominal. When the system voltage is 480 Y/277 V,an optional 3090 VPM-277-C1 Voltage/Power Module can be used. Thisadd-on module eliminates the need for PTs and provides control power.The optional 3090 CPM-48 Control Power Module is used when 18–60 Vdcis available. A 3090 RTM-317 Ride Through Module is also available whichprovides backup control power for up to 8 seconds depending on thepresence of I/O modules. These modules can be conveniently mounted onthe back of a circuit monitor or on a nearby flat surface. To complete theoffering, Square D manufactures a complete line of control power trans-formers.

Optical Communications InterfaceThe circuit monitor has an optical communications port built into the frontpanel as a standard feature. Using this port, a portable computer with anoptical communications interface (OCI-2000) can retrieve data from thecircuit monitor. The OCI-2000 mounts magnetically to the circuit monitorand provides astandard RS-232interface. Thisinterface can be usedby engineers andmaintenance person-nel to retrievecaptured waveforms,event and data logs,and other informationwithout connecting tothe network.

POWER MONITORING & CONTROL SYSTEMS

SQUARE D12/97

The System Manager 3000 software (SMS) family and POWERLOGIC®

Power Monitoring and Control Systems provide a total, integrated systemapproach to power management. As a result, accessing power informationand distributing it wherever it’s needed is more easily achieved.

Designed primarily for power system engineers, SMS-3000 software bringsinformation from your power system directly to your desktop. The thirdgeneration of POWERLOGIC power monitoring software, the SMS-3000program runs on Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95 operatingsystems. The inherent open system and network capabilities of SMS-3000software help users minimize energy costs, reduce peak demand chargesand power factor penalties, and reduce downtime.

Whether your power monitoring application requires a single workstation ora full-featured system of networked computers, the new POWERLOGICSMS-3000 software family offers a variety of functions to make managingand analyzing your power system easier.

Scaleable Solution: Client/Server to Stand-aloneClient/server applications today are not limited to the computing power ofone computer. Instead, they share the workload between multiple comput-ers. With SMS-3000 software, the POWERLOGIC network server handlesall device communications, data logging and storage, and alarm manage-ment tasks. The SMS-3000 client converts the data it receives from theserver into usable formats such as tables, bar charts, and trend plots.

It is not necessary for client PCs to be connected to the POWERLOGICdevice network; only the POWERLOGIC network server is connected tothe device network. SMS-3000 software frees you to position client PCsanywhere on the PC local area network.

Client/Server ProductsSystem Manager 3000 (SMS-3000) software is the client/server productconsisting of one POWERLOGIC network server and one SMS client. TheSMS-1000 software product is an additional client application that can beplaced wherever it is needed. The client is used with SMS-3000 softwarevia a local area network or wide area network.

Stand-alone ProductsSystem Manager 1500 (SMS-1500) and Power Monitoring EXPlorer (PMX-1500) software are stand-alone products with device setup, communica-tion and data displaying capabilities contained on the same PC thus notrequiring the PC local area network. SMS-3000software and SMS-1500 software both supportthe Interactive Graphics Client. See the backcover for feature comparison between productofferings.

FlexibilityOne of the primary features of client/servertechnology is flexibility. The System Manager3000 family allows greater flexibility for powermonitoring systems, whether you need a stand-alone system, multiple POWERLOGIC networkservers, multiple clients, remote clients, remotesites, or even a single database to store datafrom multiple servers. Expand by adding addi-tional clients.

SecurityIn addition to the security the Microsoft operatingsystem provides, SMS provides security layersof its own, ensuring that your power system dataare thoroughly protected. SMS supports unlim-ited user accounts, each with a unique nameand password. In addition, SMS supportsprivilege access levels that determine whichfunctions each user can access.

Auto-DialIn some cases, you may want to monitor powersystem information in more than one location.SMS-3000 software offers a auto-dial featuredesigned to dial remote sites on a scheduledbasis and automatically upload the system data.This feature lets users monitor sites acrosscampus or selected remote locations.

Historical Logging and TrendingThe POWERLOGIC system is a collection ofdistributed databases. SMS automaticallycollects the extremely accurate historicalonboard device data logs as well as collectingand storing data for devices without onboardmemory into one centralized ODBC-compliantdatabase. The circuit data can be easily re-trieved, displayed and printed in standardhistorical tabular or trend formats. Custom userselectable styles are also available. For ex-ample, this provides selectable quantities anddifferent interval logging for 24 hours or duringshift hours.

Open DatabaseSystem Manager 3000 software family complieswith the Microsoft Open DataBase Connectivity(ODBC) standards of data storage. This ensuresthat data stored by the POWERLOGIC networkserver can be formatted for any ODBC-compliantdatabase.

SMS-3000 software uses an embedded Mi-crosoft Access® database and is fully tested withboth Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL®

drivers. Other ODBC-compliant drivers can beinstalled and used if desired.

TasksTasks can be performed when an alarm condi-tion is detected, or on a scheduled basis.Available tasks include launching executableprograms such as paging software packages,soundwave files, device resets, sending elec-tronic mail, uploading onboard device data, andretrieving or capturing a waveform. Scheduledtasks can be executed hourly, daily, weekly,

monthly, just once, or at other defined intervals.

ControlSMS-3000 software supports manual control of relay output contacts. Onlyusers with the appropriate user privilege level can access this feature,avoiding accidental or unauthorized usage. Remote-manual control ofoperations, such as initiating a start-up or a load shedding shutdownsequence, can be performed through the software.

Event RecordingSMS uses event recording to track events in your system, from poweroutages to setup changes to manual control. All system-user actions arelogged to the Event Log, which may be viewed, printed, or cleared at anytime. The Event Log is sortable by field, including device, date/time, typeof event, and user name. This aids in future troubleshooting of your systemby showing all information.

Functions/AlarmsSMS supports software alarms for digital and analog inputs in addition todevices that have onboard alarm/event capabilities. Analog and digitalalarm conditions are set up once, then applied to the desired devices andadjusted individually as needed. Conditional logic is also possible whencustom quantities are set as a digital alarm by defining bits in a register.Analog alarm conditions can be set in five condition states (Highest, High,Normal, Low, and Lowest). Each alarm condition can be set to a separateseverity level. When an alarm condition is detected, it is broadcast acrossthe entire SMS-3000 network logged in alarm log, and can initiate auto-matic tasks on the POWERLOGIC network server PC.

Alarm Severity LevelsAnalog and digital alarm conditions can be set for one of 10 severity levels;each can be set for audible and visible required acknowledgment. Eachseverity level can also require a password to acknowledge the alarm. Youcan further customize severity levels by associating a specific color orsound with the level or both.

ResetsSMS supports various resets for all supported device types. For example,circuit monitor minimums and maximums, peak demand currents, andenergy alarms may be reset. You can reset quantities manually or on ascheduled basis, individually, or simultaneously. The date/time of eachreset is stored for each quantity in the Event Log.

Disturbance MonitoringHarmonics—which can lead to increased neutral currents, excessivecapacitor currents, or transformer and motor failure—can be displayedthrough the software. POWERLOGIC circuit monitors use a high-speeddigital sampling technique to monitor the circuit voltages and currents.Circuit waveforms and harmonic content through the 31st harmonic can becaptured and stored for later use.

Waveform AnalysisWaveform information can also be displayed in a “Data Block” format,which includes odd and even harmonic magnitudes, crest factors, andpercent total harmonic distortion (%THD) as defined in IEEE-519. Wave-forms can be further analyzed using waveform analysis software.

System Manager 3000Software

Sixty consecutive cycles of waveform display show swell andtwo sags.

Current and voltage waveforms can be viewed simultaneouslyor individually, and can be printed. A data block of harmonicinformation can also be displayed for 4-cycle waveforms.

GroupsSelecting devices by function, area, or electrical organization is simplifiedby the configuration of groups. The group feature allows devices andquantities to be organized logically, each with a unique name.

CustomizationSMS is easy to customize, including the ability to create custom tables andadd custom quantities. Custom quantities can be any value read from aPOWERLOGIC device, a metered value from another utility (gas, water,air, etc.), or a dynamic data exchange (DDE) quantity from anotherapplication.

Custom TablesNew tables can be created through a wizard-type user interface. Simplyselect multiple devices and the quantity to be displayed, or select a singledevice with multiple quantities, and the table will be generated. There isalso an advanced custom table utility that allows complete user flexibility ofthe formatting, object embedding, and mathematical manipulation forviewing of a single- or multiple-page table or graph.

Dynamic Data ExchangeDynamic data exchange (DDE) is a standard feature of SMS-3000 soft-ware. With DDE, the user can serve system data to another application,such as an Excel spreadsheet, for advanced reporting or graphing. Inaddition, SMS-3000 software can read, display, log, trend, and even alarmvia DDE from other applications such as building automation systems orprocess control systems.

POWER MONITORING & CONTROL SYSTEMS

SQUARE D12/97

The POWERLOGIC system offers the flexibility to build entire powermonitoring and control systems using Ethernet-TCP/IP (TransmissionControl Protocol/Internet Protocol) as the high-speed network backbone.POWERLOGIC Ethernet connectivity products consist of a gateway deviceand an Ethernet driver for the SMS-3000 family of System Managersoftware products. SMS-3000 power monitoring software operates onMicrosoft Windows 95 and Windows NT. The combination of the gatewayand driver creates a system with optimal communication performance andaccessibility to power system information.

Electrical distribution systems now often have hundreds, and even thou-sands, of communicating devices. A high-speed, high-bandwidth networksuch as Ethernet often becomes necessary to handle the increased datathroughput required. In many cases, an existing Ethernet network can beused to avoid the cost of installing and maintaining a separate “backbone”network.

Ethernet is the most widely supported network in the world. It offers anopen architecture, speed, wide range of connectivity products, and virtuallyunlimited flexibility allowing users to build any size network. These benefitsensure users of their investment in Ethernet as the backbone network ofchoice for power monitoring and control systems.

As your POWERLOGIC system expands (number of users increase, andadditional devices are implemented), so too can your network usingstandard, off-the-shelf products that meet your specific needs.

The POWERLOGIC system allows you to leverage existing Ethernettechnology for power monitoring, power quality, and other information overvirtually any existing communication infrastructure, including the Internet.

Improved System Performance

The POWERLOGIC Ethernet Gateway and the SMS Ethernet Driver havebeen engineered to form a tightly coupled system. Together these compo-nents form the basis for a reliable, high-speed power monitoring solution.The SMS Ethernet Driver allows simultaneous communication requests tomultiple gateways providing faster overall throughput in gathering data fromthe entire POWERLOGIC system.

TCP/IP and OSI Protocols

Many Etherent networks are based on TCP/IP. This is the standard protocolfor delivering information and is what the Internet and many Intranets use.Other network systems utilize the equally powerful Open Systems Intercon-nect (OSI) protocol. The System Manager Ethernet Driver and EthernetGateway support both TCP/IP and OSI protocols. Either protocol is routablethrough existing IP routers, hubs, etc., allowing users to select the protocolstack best suited for their application.

Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS)

The POWERLOGIC Ethernet connectivity solution uses MMS as themessaging protocol over Ethernet. MMS is an international standard (ISO/IEC 9506) for exchanging real-time data and supervisory informationbetween network devices. As an international standard, MMS is notcontrolled by any one entity. Overall, MMS provides a very powerful, highthroughput platform for network communication.

MMS offers increased flexibility in integrating other devices and systemsinto a POWERLOGIC system. The messaging services provided by MMSare broad enough to cover a wide range of applications while the MMSprotocol itself is independent of the application being performed.

Easy Configuration

Both the System Manager Ethernet driver and gateway are easily config-ured and secured. Standard dialog box setup screens for communicatingwith the gateway reside in System Manager. The gateway has an onboardsetup utility that is easily configured via the RS-232 port using a standardterminal emulator software program, such as Windows Terminal. The setuputility contains all configuration parameters for the gateway as well asdiagnostic parameters. Additionally, an extensive help system is included inthe setup utility. All configuration information is stored in nonvolatilememory and therefore, not affected on loss of control power.

Gateway and Network Integrity

Each serial port contains RS-485 biasing and surge protection circuitry toensure reliable operation where noise may be present from nonlineardevices, electromagnetic induced equipment, or single capacitive couplingof the power system voltages.

Easy Field Upgrades

As features are added to the system components–either in SystemManager, the gateway, or the end devices–the gateway can be easilyupdated via the RS-232 port. This firmware upgrade is accomplishedwithout hardware replacement, lengthy system downtime, or systemreconfiguration.

Support for Existing POWERLOGIC Systems

The POWERLOGIC Ethernet Gateway supports routing into existingSY/NET® network based systems. The RS-485 ports on the gateway canbe connected to another RS-485 port on the network interface module(NIM, PNIM, etc.) making information from the SY/NET network availableover Ethernet. This approach benefits existing facilities wherePOWERLOGIC systems are already in use. Users of existing Square Dnetworks can choose to augment their systems by using Ethernet as thehigh-speed backbone.

System Manager and Client/Server System

System Manager 3000 software uses client/server technology formanaging activity and information on the Ethernet network. This is ideal forsystems where multipleusers need access to powersystem information. ThePOWERLOGIC NetworkServer, which may be adedicated Windows NTworkstation or any one of theuser’s personal computers,‘serves’ requestedinformation to userselsewhere on the networkrunning System Managerclient software. This providesmany users access to theinformation for variousfunctions such as energycost accounting, powerquality monitoring, or maintenance activities. All users share a commonhistorical database through Microsoft’s Open Database Connectivity(ODBC) standard. The ODBC standard is supported by a wide variety ofsoftware vendors as an open solution.

Ethernet Gateway

The POWERLOGIC Ethernet Gateway combinedwith System Manager software brings powersystem information to any personal computer onthe local area network or even the Internet.

Protection and FlexibilityThe POWERLOGIC digital relay accepts current inputs from standard 1-ampere or 5-ampere current transformers, and is suitable for a wide rangeof applications on medium voltage circuits. Time-current characteristics areindependently adjustable for phase and ground from a variety of curveshapes—inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, and so on. Closetolerances on programmable relay pickup settings and flexible time delayadjustments permit better coordination with upstream and downstreamdevices.

Curve shapes, current transformer (CT) ratios, and relay settings are setusing the simple front-panel keypad and display. The digital relay provides avariety of metering and status information, and supports various capabili-ties from a remote PC.

3-phase Overcurrent (ANSI 50/51)The digital relay senses overloads and short circuits between phases, andinitiates a breaker trip. The relay has both time overcurrent and instanta-neous pickup settings. When a current exceeds one of these settings, thedigital relay displays a “PHASE FAULT” message. After the relay operates,its red trip LED flashes, indicating that a trip has occurred.

Ground Fault (ANSI 50N/51N or 50G/51G)The digital relay senses phase-to-ground faults in resistive grounded,reactive grounded, and solidly grounded networks, and initiates a breakertrip. The relay has both time overcurrent and instantaneous pickup settings.When a current exceeds one of these settings, the relay displays a “GNDFAULT” message. After the relay operates, its red trip LED flashes, indicat-ing that a trip has occurred.

UIT CurveThe digital relay features a new type of inverse-time-overcurrent curveknown as the ultra inverse time curve (UIT). This unique curve providesbetter coordination with fuses and devices that require extreme coordina-tion.

Time Overcurrent SettingsThe digital relay has three settings for time overcurrent: time current curve,current setting, and time delay. Time current curves are divided into twocategories: definite time and inverse-time-overcurrent. For the definite timecurve and the RI curve, the current setting is the tripping pickup.

Instantaneous Pickup Settings

The digital relay has two settings for instantaneous protection: instanta-neous pickup and instantaneous time delay.

AmmeterThe digital relay displays instantaneous phase ammeter readings andphase block demand ammeter readings on the LCD display. By equippingthe digital relay with optional communications, the following values can beviewed on a remote PC:

• Minimum, maximum, and instantaneous currents

• Thermal and block demands (present and peak) with date and time stamp

All values, on both the relay display and over communications, are actualprimary values in A, kA, and seconds.

Event History InformationThe digital relay provides two types of historical information: trip history andpickup history. The current values at the time of the last trip can be viewedon the LCD display. A more detailed trip history for the last three trips canbe accessed over communications. The trip history includes:

• Cause of trip

• Pickup status at time of trip

• Date and time of trip

• Currents (phase, ground, and 3-phase average)

• Thermal demand (3-phase average and per-phase)

Also, using communications the user can access a date/time history of thelast pickup for time overcurrent and instantaneous overcurrent, for bothphase and ground.

Continuous Self DiagnosticsThe digital relay continually monitors the analog-to-digital conversionchannel, the microprocessor, the memory components, the internal voltagesupply, the integrity of its values, and the internal software program. If thedigital relay detects an internal failure, it inhibits the output relay contactsand operates a watchdog output relay. The watchdog output relay contactscan be connected to an alarm, such as a light or bell, to indicate that aninternal failure has occurred.

For digital relays with communications, the diagnostic status can be viewedon a remote PC. This self-diagnostic feature makes the digital relay morereliable than an electromechanical relay; in electromechanical relays,internal failures can only be detected by periodic manual tests.

POWERLOGIC CompatibleThe digital relay is compatible with POWERLOGIC systems; therefore, it issupported by POWERLOGIC software. The relay can share an RS-485communications link with circuit monitors operating at a baud rate from1200 to 19,200 bps. Digital relays can be daisy-chained with up to 32POWERLOGIC devices over a 10,000 foot (3050 meter) span.

Communications CapabilitiesCommunicating versions of thedigital relay have remote capabilitiessuch as status monitoring, metering,relay reset, and circuit breakeroperations. The digital relay has onestatus input that can be used forremote status monitoring; forexample, indicating circuit breakerposition. In addition, remote phaseand ground current metering, tripevent history, and data logging canbe performed using POWERLOGICsoftware. Remote relay resets andremote circuit breaker operationscan also be performed over thecommunications network.

POWERLOGIC application software configured to display real-time phase and ground currents, circuit breaker status, and triphistory in an easy-to-read, graphic format.

MICROLOGIC Circuit BreakerInterface

The POWELOGIC product interface (PIF-3) for MICROLOGIC circuitbreakers, together with MICROLOGIC full function circuit breakers,provides an economical means to perform remote current monitoring,without the need for additional current transformers or metering equipment.In addition, the product interface reports a wealth of valuable historical tripdata and breaker and breaker data from MICROLOGIC full function circuitbreakers.

The product interface can be mounted in QED switchboards to enable localand remote monitoring of circuit breaker data. The data from up to 32circuit breakers can be displayed using a POWERLOGIC system displayfor circuit breakers, or an IBM PC compatible personal computer equippedwith System Manager software.

Product Interface Mounts Easily in SwitchboardsThe product interface mounts easily in Square D I-Line panelboards andQED switchboards. In new equipment, any MICROLOGIC full functioncircuit breaker can communicate to the product interface.

The Right ConnectionsThe product interface provides eight removable terminal plugs for connec-tion of up to eight MICROLOGIC circuit breakers. Each MICROLOGICcircuit breaker is wired to a communications adapter (CIM3F). Eachcommunications adapter is then connected to the terminal strip on the sideof the product interface.

A removable RS-485 terminal plug is used to daisy-chain the productinterface to other POWERLOGIC compatible devices.

Sample Power Management IssuesHarmonic Distortion - Power systems can absorb a surprising amount ofharmonic currents without adverse effects. However, when harmonicsbecome excessive they can lead to production shutdowns, equipmentfailure, and component overloading. Power factor correction capacitors areparticularlysusceptibleto har-monicdistortionproblems.

Energy Costs - Like power quality, successfulelectricity cost reduction requires more than justpower system data. Here, an industrial plantcollected data from their chiller system, butneglected to analyze its implications. Using thisdata, chiller operating problems and excessivecosts were traced to fouled tubes.

Remote Monitoring - Collecting informationfrom remote locations can be difficult. Square Dcan collect power system data via telephonelines, analyze problems, and produce powerquality and power management reports. Thesereports can be faxed to your desk, or transferredto your computer for cutting and pasting intoyour weekly production report.

Voltage Sags - Sags usually occur due toproblems on the utility system feeding yourfacility. Often it is difficult to distinguish betweensags and interruptions based on equipmenteffects alone. Sag solutions may be far lessexpensive, however, than solutions to interrup-tions, so it is important to capture each event.This data can also be used to pinpoint problemsinside the facility or on the utility system.

Energy Management - Electricity costs aredifficult to reduce when you do not know wherethe energy is being used. Power ManagementServices engineers can help you produce afacility energy profile which identifies energyconsumers, measures their contribution to peakdemand, and recommends no-cost/low-costmethods to reduce costs.

Wiring and Grounding - Many power-relatedproblems occur because basic wiring andgrounding practices are overlooked or allowed todeteriorate. In other instances, recommendedpower schemes are defeated, allowing vacuumcleaners to be plugged into isolated groundcircuits and frequently-started induction motorsto be served from the same transformer assensitive computer supplies.

Test criteria alsoincluded a leap year test for February 29, 2000. The following tablesindicate test results for those devices and, where necessary, solutions tohelp ensure a successful Year 2000 transition. This information is subject tochange as additional development and testing occurs.

POWERLOGIC Power Monitoring and Control SystemHardware EvaluationThe internal clock incorporated in hardware devices has been designed toaccount for the Year 2000 transition. The table at the left shows the testresults for POWERLOGIC hardware utilizing an internal clock.

Software EvaluationSystem Manager 3000 software products have been designed to operateas intended for their anticipated useful life, with special design consider-ation given to proper handling of the Year 2000 transition. The SMS-3000products in the table at the right have been tested to verify that the in-tended performance of these software products continues through the Year2000 transition and for a period of time exceeding the anticipated useful lifeof these products.

Portions of EXPlorer, System Manager and communications software(EXP-500, EXP-550, SMS-700, SMS-770, SMS-121 for Windows 3.1 andPSW-101) will work past the Year 2000 date. However, since the softwarewas developed for operating systems such as Windows 3.1 and earlierversions of DOS, some of the time stamping portions will not work. The

known problem areas are history logging,waveform capture and exporting files. Upgradingto the SMS-3000 software family will be neces-sary if these functions are being implemented inyour application. Contact your local Square Dsales representative for upgrade pricing. Refer tothe table at the left for software selection.
