Power Monitoring and Control


Systems Introduction
Profitability with power monitoring
If you knew where and how to cut peak demand power usage, you could
lower your electric bills and your company’s cost of product. But how can
you, 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 the
purchase of a new substation, but you are not sure you have enough
capacity to accommodate the vital new process equipment you need to
install. Take a chance and the whole line could go down–at who knows
what cost in downtime. If you only knew where and how much excess
capacity you have.
Electric utility deregulation
is changing the way you
buy electricity. But do you
know all you need to know
about your electrical
needs, including the
quality of power needed,
in addition to knowing
when and how much
power is needed?

through power monitoring
and control systems. With
a power monitoring and control system, a facility engineer has the ability to
locate 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 D
is an innovative total system solution to managing electricity and improving
the reliability of power distribution equipment. The POWERLOGIC system
combines microprocessor-based instrumentation and control to provide
advanced features for industrial, commercial and utility electrical systems.
The POWERLOGIC system’s exceptionally accurate instruments, high-
speed communications network, and fully integrated power monitoring
application software make these benefits possible.

Controlling costs to maximize profits


One of the keys to maximizing profit is by controlling costs. A power
monitoring system helps you do that in two ways. It allows you to better
know the impact electrical costs have on your operating costs, and gives
you the information you need to purchase electricity more cost effectively.

Reduction of downtime
Minimizing downtime is critical to the profitability every operation. Unex-
pected power outages and having key pieces of equipment shut down
suddenly is expensive due to the time required to find the source of the
problem, correct it, and get production started again. The loss of product
adds additional expense. The key is to identify potential problems and
correct them proactively. For example, the current on a critical motor may

Systems Introduction
Improve power quality
Power quality concerns include making sure the power delivered to critical
machines and processes is both clean and dependable. Computers and
microprocessor-based control systems are very sensitive to the quality of
power they use. The first step to solving power quality problems is to
determine the magnitude of the problem. This is one of the functions of the
power monitoring system.

Lower energy costs


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

Allocate energy costs


More and more companies want to know not only
how much energy they are using, but where they
are using it. Competitive pressures necessitate
knowing all the costs associated with a product,
including the cost of power to produce it. In
addition, efforts to closely manage energy costs
are easier to evaluate when the costs are broken
down by area. The POWERLOGIC system can
create the trend plots and reports allocating the
energy costs the way you need them.

Better utilization of power distribution


equipment
A common question asked is “Does the existing
distribution equipment have enough capacity?” A
power monitoring system with the
POWERLOGIC software displays the data logs
in the form of time trend plots. Peak information
from date and time stamps of maximum readings
is also useful. This shows which distribution
equipment is under utilized, or near overload. All
this information can be used to obtain the
maximum use of existing equipment, and to
more accurately design future distribution
equipment.

Special monitoring and control systems


Power monitoring is often just part of the
solution. Monitoring other utilities such as gas,
water, and steam may be needed. Sequence of
events monitoring can be critical. Monitoring and
control of generators and transfer switches may
be required. Automatic control systems for Typical POWERLOGIC power monitoring and control system.

Systems Introduction
shedding and restoring loads may be key to minimizing energy costs or
maintaining critical circuits. There are POWERLOGIC solutions for all these
systems.

How do power monitoring and control systems work?


Power monitoring systems monitor the flow of electrical power in circuits
throughout the plant. In the POWERLOGIC system, highly accurate circuit
monitors and power meters are dedicated to power monitoring, while other
compatible devices collect additional equipment information from protective
relays, circuit breakers, transformer temperature controllers, and
panelboards.
Electrical data–such as current, power, energy, waveforms, and equipment
status–is passed over a data network to one or more personal computers.
The personal computers run power monitoring application software that
retrieves, stores, organizes, and displays real-time circuit information in
simple, usable formats.
The information collected and stored in a power monitoring system helps
operate a facility more efficiently. Of course, the quality of the data depends
on the accuracy of the instrumentation and the usability of the display
formats. A POWERLOGIC system provides this accuracy in a format that is
easy to use and understand.

Accurate monitoring devices


Each POWERLOGIC monitoring device is a multi-function, digital
instrumentation, data acquisition device capable of replacing a variety of
meters, relays, transducers, and other components.
POWERLOGIC system devices can be integrated with Square D’s
electrical power distribution products or retrofit into existing equipment. The
result is a distributed network of intelligent, accurate monitoring devices
reporting to one or more centralized locations.

Flexible connectivity and network topologies


All POWERLOGIC-compatible devices are equipped with an RS-485
network communication port for integration into a POWERLOGIC power
monitoring and control system. Up to 32 devices can be daisy-chained and
directly connected to a personal computer, system display, Ethernet
gateway (TCP/IP and OSI), or POWERLOGIC network
interface module (PNIM). Square D can provide
industrially hardened local area networks, or connect to
existing networks, either local or wide area. Other
communication options such as fiber optics and
modems, including telephone and radio, are also
available. The POWERLOGIC system makes it easy to
allow localized, distributed, remote, and any mixed
network combination.

Powerful software solutions


The POWERLOGIC application software series offers a
variety of power monitoring solutions, allowing you to
monitor, display, and store vast amounts of information

than the POWERLOGIC circuit monitor. And once the data gets to your from all of the POWERLOGIC compatible devices.

Evaluation, engineering, and support


Square D’s Power Management Organization is more than power
monitoring devices and software. It includes highly trained and capable
engineers evaluating and providing solutions to power quality issues. To
ensure smooth installation and system commissioning, our application
engineering services are available to oversee the project from design to
completion. The POWERLOGIC University provides users with the training
needed to get the most out of their system. And finally, the Technical
Support Group provides the answers to the questions to ensure smooth
operation of your power monitoring system.

Information is power
If you can’t measure it, you can’t control it. And controlling costs is critical.
POWERLOGIC power monitoring systems provide you with the information
you need to make the sound business decisions needed in today’s
marketplace.

See all those meters? A single POWERLOGIC power meter or circuit monitor can do their work and that of many others.
Yet it costs less than what you’d pay for just a few of them.

Mounting Flexibility
The power meter’s small size and variety of mounting configurations allow
it to be readily installed in new equipment or retrofit into existing equipment.
The power meter module can be mounted onto a
35mm DIN rail, or it can be mounted on any flat
surface using its four mounting feet. For added
simplicity in retrofit installations, the panel
mounting hole patterns for both the power meter
module and the optional power meter display
match the conventional 4-inch ammeter/voltme-
ter spacing so the meter and the display can be
mounted back-to-back on opposite sides of a
panel surface. In metering installations of 600 V

Powerful Functionality
The power meter accepts inputs from standard 5 A CTs and has full scale
input of 10 A. The voltage inputs can be directly connected to 3 phase
circuits of 600 V and below without the need for PTs or CTs. For higher
voltage circuits, the power meter accepts a full range of PT primary values
with control power derived from the PTs or from a separate source of ac or
dc control power. Setup and resets are password protected and are easily
done through the power meter display or via the network using System
Manager™ software, releases SMS-3000, SMS-1500, and PMX-1500.
From the optional display, POWERLOGIC or Modbus RTU protocols can
be selected. No DIP switches or other hardware adjustments are required
for setup. All readings are scaled to their actual values without the need for
a multipler.

POWERLOGIC System Compatibility


The power meter supports standard POWERLOGIC RS-485 communica-
tions up to 19,200 Baud with communications links up to 10,000 feet. A
meter can quickly be installed into any existing POWERLOGIC system.
The power meter has been fully integrated into the latest POWERLOGIC
application software, System Manager software, releases SMS-3000,
SMS-1500, and PMX-1500. This software enables users to manage their
electrical distribution systems by providing tabular and graphical data
displays, alarms, real time and historical time trend tables and graphs, and
reports. Power meter setup and reset operations and wiring diagnostics
can also be performed from a remote personal computer using the soft-
ware.
POWERLOGIC power monitoring devices and systems assist in equipment
monitoring for cost allocation, troubleshooting, predictive maintenance,
planning, and more. The lower installed cost of the power meter makes it
possible for facilities to monitor many smaller, less critical feeder circuits
enabling whole facility power monitoring.

Square D pioneered the concept of “waveform capture.” Circuit monitors
use a patented, high-speed sampling technique to sample 64 times per
cycle on all current and
voltage signals simulta-
neously. The captured
waveforms are stored in
the circuit monitor
memory for retrieval
and display by POW-
ERLOGIC application
software. Waveform
captures are triggered
internally or externally.
A personal computer
can send a signal over
the communications
POWERLOGIC software can show all phase voltage network or through the
and current waveforms simultaneously, or a single optical communications
waveform with a data block containing harmonics port. An external signal,
through the 31st. for example, from an
overcurrent relay, can
be received through a high-speed input. The waveform capture can also be
triggered internally by any of over 100 user-defined alarm conditions,
including high or low power factor, %THD, or phase loss.

Sag/Swell Detection
The circuit monitor can continuously monitor for sags and swells on any
metered voltage or current. This feature can help detect and analyze
troublesome voltage disturbances that can cause costly equipment down
time. The circuit monitor detects sags and swells based on user-defined
setpoints and delays (in cycles). When the circuit monitor detects a voltage
or 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 is
performed using the same patented, 64 samples-per-cycle sampling rate
as 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 both
before and after the disturbance. The event can be date and time stamped
to the millisecond, and recorded in the event log.

Mounting Options
POWERLOGIC software can display sag/swell data
In addition to the standard flush mounting, several other mounting options captured by the circuit monitor. This screen shows
are available. For applications requiring an indoor general purpose surface a voltage sag experienced from a single-phase

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

Control Power Options


In addition to CT and PT inputs, the circuit monitor requires control power.
The circuit monitor accepts a wide range of voltages including 120/240 Vac
nominal 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. This
add-on module eliminates the need for PTs and provides control power.
The optional 3090 CPM-48 Control Power Module is used when 18–60 Vdc
is available. A 3090 RTM-317 Ride Through Module is also available which
provides backup control power for up to 8 seconds depending on the
presence of I/O modules. These modules can be conveniently mounted on
the back of a circuit monitor or on a nearby flat surface. To complete the
offering, Square D manufactures a complete line of control power trans-
formers.

Optical Communications Interface


The circuit monitor has an optical communications port built into the front
panel as a standard feature. Using this port, a portable computer with an
optical communications interface (OCI-2000) can retrieve data from the
circuit monitor. The OCI-2000 mounts magnetically to the circuit monitor
and provides a

POWER MONITORING & CONTROL SYSTEMS

System Manager 3000


Software
The System Manager 3000 software (SMS) family and POWERLOGIC®
Power Monitoring and Control Systems provide a total, integrated system
approach to power management. As a result, accessing power information
and distributing it wherever it’s needed is more easily achieved.
Designed primarily for power system engineers, SMS-3000 software brings
information from your power system directly to your desktop. The third
generation of POWERLOGIC power monitoring software, the SMS-3000
program runs on Microsoft Windows NT and Windows 95 operating
systems. The inherent open system and network capabilities of SMS-3000
software help users minimize energy costs, reduce peak demand charges
and power factor penalties, and reduce downtime.
Whether your power monitoring application requires a single workstation or
a full-featured system of networked computers, the new POWERLOGIC
SMS-3000 software family offers a variety of functions to make managing
and analyzing your power system easier.

Scaleable Solution: Client/Server to Stand-alone


Client/server applications today are not limited to the computing power of
one computer. Instead, they share the workload between multiple comput-
ers. With SMS-3000 software, the POWERLOGIC network server handles
all device communications, data logging and storage, and alarm manage-
ment tasks. The SMS-3000 client converts the data it receives from the
server into usable formats such as tables, bar charts, and trend plots.
It is not necessary for client PCs to be connected to the POWERLOGIC
device network; only the POWERLOGIC network server is connected to
the device network. SMS-3000 software frees you to position client PCs
anywhere on the PC local area network.

Client/Server Products
System Manager 3000 (SMS-3000) software is the client/server product
consisting of one POWERLOGIC network server and one SMS client. The
SMS-1000 software product is an additional client application that can be
placed wherever it is needed. The client is used with SMS-3000 software
via a local area network or wide area network.

Stand-alone Products
System 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 not
requiring the PC local area network. SMS-3000

monthly, just once, or at other defined intervals.

Control
SMS-3000 software supports manual control of relay output contacts. Only
users with the appropriate user privilege level can access this feature,
avoiding accidental or unauthorized usage. Remote-manual control of
operations, such as initiating a start-up or a load shedding shutdown
sequence, can be performed through the software.

Event Recording
SMS uses event recording to track events in your system, from power
outages to setup changes to manual control. All system-user actions are
logged to the Event Log, which may be viewed, printed, or cleared at any
time. The Event Log is sortable by field, including device, date/time, type
of event, and user name. This aids in future troubleshooting of your system
by showing all information.

Functions/Alarms
SMS supports software alarms for digital and analog inputs in addition to
devices that have onboard alarm/event capabilities. Analog and digital
alarm conditions are set up once, then applied to the desired devices and
adjusted individually as needed. Conditional logic is also possible when
custom 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 separate
severity level. When an alarm condition is detected, it is broadcast across
the entire SMS-3000 network logged in alarm log, and can initiate auto-
matic tasks on the POWERLOGIC network server PC.

Alarm Severity Levels


Analog and digital alarm conditions can be set for one of 10 severity levels;
each can be set for audible and visible required acknowledgment. Each
severity level can also require a password to acknowledge the alarm. You
can further customize severity levels by associating a specific color or
sound with the level or both.

Resets
SMS supports various resets for all supported device types. For example, Sixty consecutive cycles of waveform display show swell and
circuit monitor minimums and maximums, peak demand currents, and two sags.

energy alarms may be reset. You can reset quantities manually or on a


scheduled basis, individually, or simultaneously. The date/time of each
reset is stored for each quantity in the Event Log.

Disturbance Monitoring
Harmonics—which can lead to increased neutral currents, excessive
capacitor currents, or transformer and motor failure—can be displayed
through the software. POWERLOGIC circuit monitors use a high-speed
digital sampling technique to monitor the circuit voltages and currents.
Circuit waveforms and harmonic content through the 31st harmonic can be
captured and stored for later use.

Waveform Analysis
Waveform information can also be displayed in a “Data Block” format,
which includes odd and even harmonic magnitudes, crest factors, and
percent total harmonic distortion (%THD) as defined in IEEE-519. Wave- Current and voltage waveforms can be viewed simultaneously
or individually, and can be printed. A data block of harmonic
forms can be further analyzed using waveform analysis software. information can also be displayed for 4-cycle waveforms.

Easy System Setup
Minimal user configuration is required to get a SMS system up and running.
Device addresses and a few system and device parameters are all that are
necessary. Devices can be set up individually, or by configuring global
parameters applied to similar devices.

Help System
Complete, online, context-sensitive help is available anywhere in the
program. The system is categorized, and any topic may be selected or
printed. Most setup dialog boxes contain a Help button, which is linked
directly to information on that dialog box. SMS-3000 software also supports
right mouse button and F1 key functionality.

Real-Time Displays
SMS supports a variety of real-time data displays, from tables and bar
charts to analog meters. SMS-3000 software comes preconfigured with
many standard real-time displays to view any of the thousands of device
quantities
SMS-3000 software offers a variety of predefined and
customizable real-time data displays. Printing support
Any real-time or historical data that can be displayed in a window or
multiple windows may be saved to a disk or printed, either individually or in
a report.

Groups
Selecting devices by function, area, or electrical organization is simplified
by the configuration of groups. The group feature allows devices and
quantities to be organized logically, each with a unique name.

Customization
SMS is easy to customize, including the ability to create custom tables and
add custom quantities. Custom quantities can be any value read from a
POWERLOGIC device, a metered value from another utility (gas, water,
air, etc.), or a dynamic data exchange (DDE) quantity from another
application.
System Manager software can be easily customized by adding
new devices and quantities, and creating custom tables like
the one shown. Custom Tables
New tables can be created through a wizard-type user interface. Simply
select multiple devices and the quantity to be displayed, or select a single
device with multiple quantities, and the table will be generated. There is
also an advanced custom table utility that allows complete user flexibility of
the formatting, object embedding, and mathematical manipulation for
viewing of a single- or multiple-page table or graph.

Dynamic Data Exchange


Dynamic 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. In
addition, SMS-3000 software can read, display, log, trend, and even alarm
via DDE from other applications such as building automation systems or
process control systems.

Reports
System Manager software generates reports using any information,
including real-time displays. SMS-3000 software supports standard reports

POWER MONITORING & CONTROL SYSTEMS

Ethernet Gateway

The POWERLOGIC system offers the flexibility to build entire power


monitoring and control systems using Ethernet-TCP/IP (Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) as the high-speed network backbone.
POWERLOGIC Ethernet connectivity products consist of a gateway device
and an Ethernet driver for the SMS-3000 family of System Manager
software products. SMS-3000 power monitoring software operates on
Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT. The combination of the gateway
and driver creates a system with optimal communication performance and
accessibility to power system information.
Electrical distribution systems now often have hundreds, and even thou-
sands, of communicating devices. A high-speed, high-bandwidth network
such as Ethernet often becomes necessary to handle the increased data
throughput required. In many cases, an existing Ethernet network can be
used to avoid the cost of installing and maintaining a separate “backbone”
network.
Ethernet is the most widely supported network in the world. It offers an
open architecture, speed, wide range of connectivity products, and virtually
unlimited flexibility allowing users to build any size network. These benefits
ensure users of their investment in Ethernet as the backbone network of
choice for power monitoring and control systems.
As your POWERLOGIC system expands (number of users increase, and
additional devices are implemented), so too can your network using
standard, off-the-shelf products that meet your specific needs.
The POWERLOGIC system allows you to leverage existing Ethernet
technology for power monitoring, power quality, and other information over
virtually any existing communication infrastructure, including the Internet.
Improved System Performance
The POWERLOGIC Ethernet Gateway and the SMS Ethernet Driver have
been 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 to
multiple gateways providing faster overall throughput in gathering data from
the entire POWERLOGIC system.
TCP/IP and OSI Protocols
Many Etherent networks are based on TCP/IP. This is the standard protocol
for 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 Ethernet
Gateway support both TCP/IP and OSI protocols. Either protocol is routable
through existing IP routers, hubs, etc., allowing users to select the protocol
stack best suited for their application.
Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS)
The POWERLOGIC Ethernet connectivity solution uses MMS as the
messaging protocol over Ethernet. MMS is an international standard (ISO/
IEC 9506) for exchanging real-time data and supervisory information
between network devices. As an international standard, MMS is not
controlled by any one entity. Overall, MMS provides a very powerful, high
throughput platform for network communication.
MMS offers increased flexibility in integrating other devices and systems
into a POWERLOGIC system. The messaging services provided by MMS
are broad enough to cover a wide range of applications while the MMS
protocol itself is independent of the application being performed.

Ethernet Gateway

Easy Configuration
Both the System Manager Ethernet driver and gateway are easily config-
ured and secured. Standard dialog box setup screens for communicating
with the gateway reside in System Manager. The gateway has an onboard
setup utility that is easily configured via the RS-232 port using a standard
terminal emulator software program, such as Windows Terminal. The setup
utility contains all configuration parameters for the gateway as well as
diagnostic parameters. Additionally, an extensive help system is included in
the setup utility. All configuration information is stored in nonvolatile
memory and therefore, not affected on loss of control power.
Gateway and Network Integrity
Each serial port contains RS-485 biasing and surge protection circuitry to
ensure reliable operation where noise may be present from nonlinear
devices, electromagnetic induced equipment, or single capacitive coupling
of the power system voltages.
Easy Field Upgrades
As features are added to the system components–either in System
Manager, the gateway, or the end devices–the gateway can be easily
updated via the RS-232 port. This firmware upgrade is accomplished
without hardware replacement, lengthy system downtime, or system
reconfiguration.
Support for Existing POWERLOGIC Systems
The POWERLOGIC Ethernet Gateway supports routing into existing
SY/NET® network based systems. The RS-485 ports on the gateway can
be connected to another RS-485 port on the network interface module
(NIM, PNIM, etc.) making information from the SY/NET network available
over Ethernet. This approach benefits existing facilities where
POWERLOGIC systems are already in use. Users of existing Square D
networks can choose to augment their systems by using Ethernet as the
high-speed backbone.
System Manager and Client/Server System
System Manager 3000 software uses client/server technology for
managing activity and information on the Ethernet network. This is ideal for
systems where multiple
users need access to power
system information. The
POWERLOGIC Network

Digital Relay

Protection and Flexibility


The POWERLOGIC digital relay accepts current inputs from standard 1- 2
ampere or 5-ampere current transformers, and is suitable for a wide range 1 3
of applications on medium voltage circuits. Time-current characteristics are
independently adjustable for phase and ground from a variety of curve
shapes—inverse, very inverse, extremely inverse, and so on. Close 4
tolerances on programmable relay pickup settings and flexible time delay
adjustments permit better coordination with upstream and downstream
devices. 5

Curve shapes, current transformer (CT) ratios, and relay settings are set
using the simple front-panel keypad and display. The digital relay provides a
variety 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, and
initiates a breaker trip. The relay has both time overcurrent and instanta-
neous pickup settings. When a current exceeds one of these settings, the
digital relay displays a “PHASE FAULT” message. After the relay operates, 1 On indicator light–Lights when the digital relay

Time Overcurrent Settings


The digital relay has three settings for time overcurrent: time current curve,
current setting, and time delay. Time current curves are divided into two
categories: definite time and inverse-time-overcurrent. For the definite time
curve 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.

Ammeter
The digital relay displays instantaneous phase ammeter readings and
phase block demand ammeter readings on the LCD display. By equipping
the digital relay with optional communications, the following values can be
viewed 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 actual
primary values in A, kA, and seconds.

Event History Information


The digital relay provides two types of historical information: trip history and
pickup history. The current values at the time of the last trip can be viewed
on the LCD display. A more detailed trip history for the last three trips can
be 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 the
last pickup for time overcurrent and instantaneous overcurrent, for both
phase and ground.

Continuous Self Diagnostics


The digital relay continually monitors the analog-to-digital conversion
channel, the microprocessor, the memory components, the internal voltage
supply, the integrity of its values, and the internal software program. If the
digital relay detects an internal failure, it inhibits the output relay contacts
and operates a watchdog output relay. The watchdog output relay contacts
can be connected to an alarm, such as a light or bell, to indicate that an
internal failure has occurred.
For digital relays with communications, the diagnostic status can be viewed
on a remote PC. This self-diagnostic feature makes the digital relay more
reliable than an electromechanical relay; in electromechanical relays,
internal failures can only be detected by periodic manual tests.

POWERLOGIC Compatible
The digital relay is compatible with POWERLOGIC systems; therefore, it is
supported by POWERLOGIC software. The relay can share an RS-485
communications link with circuit monitors operating at a baud rate from
1200 to 19,200 bps. Digital relays can be daisy-chained with up to 32
POWERLOGIC devices over a 10,000 foot (3050 meter) span.

Communications Capabilities
Communicating versions of the
digital relay have remote capabilities
such as status monitoring, metering,
relay reset, and circuit breaker
operations. The digital relay has one
status input that can be used for
remote status monitoring; for
example, indicating circuit breaker
position. In addition, remote phase
and ground current metering, trip
event history, and data logging can
be performed using POWERLOGIC
software. Remote relay resets and
remote circuit breaker operations
can also be performed over the
communications network.
POWERLOGIC application software configured to display real-
time phase and ground currents, circuit breaker status, and trip
history in an easy-to-read, graphic format.

managers, and others involved in managing a facility’s electrical power
consumption will benefit from POWERLOGIC university. The curriculum is
specifically designed for the end user and installer.
For contractors and consultants, the curriculum gives you an expert
understanding of the POWERLOGIC system, allowing you to better serve
your customers. After attending the university, you will be able to specify
and install power equipment correctly. If you obtain product line certifica-
tion, you will be added to our published list of certified servicing companies.
After becoming a POWERLOGIC system expert, contractors and consult-
ants can train their end users.

Energy Costs - Like power quality, successful
electricity cost reduction requires more than just
power system data. Here, an industrial plant
collected data from their chiller system, but
neglected to analyze its implications. Using this
data, chiller operating problems and excessive
costs were traced to fouled tubes.
Remote Monitoring - Collecting information
from remote locations can be difficult. Square D
can collect power system data via telephone
lines, analyze problems, and produce power
quality and power management reports. These
reports can be faxed to your desk, or transferred
to your computer for cutting and pasting into
your weekly production report.
Voltage Sags - Sags usually occur due to
problems on the utility system feeding your
facility. Often it is difficult to distinguish between
sags and interruptions based on equipment
effects alone. Sag solutions may be far less
expensive, however, than solutions to interrup-
tions, so it is important to capture each event.
This data can also be used to pinpoint problems
inside the facility or on the utility system.
Energy Management - Electricity costs are
difficult to reduce when you do not know where
the energy is being used. Power Management
Services engineers can help you produce a
facility energy profile which identifies energy
consumers, measures their contribution to peak
demand, and recommends no-cost/low-cost
methods to reduce costs.
Wiring and Grounding - Many power-related
problems occur because basic wiring and
grounding practices are overlooked or allowed to
deteriorate. In other instances, recommended
power schemes are defeated, allowing vacuum
cleaners to be plugged into isolated ground
circuits and frequently-started induction motors
to be served from the same transformer as
sensitive computer supplies.
