INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Preface
1.1.1 With the increased demand for uptime and decreased tolerance for unplanned
shutdowns the electrical department is under more pressure than ever to keep their
electrical systems running properly. One of our chief problems is figuring out how to
integrate data among multiple sites to ensure equipment runs properly without having to
travel to the various sites every time. The problem compounds if one is responsible for
one site and has limited resources; it's challenging to keep reliability levels high. Remote
monitoring can provide the necessary information you need to stay on top of equipment
conditions and power status, regardless of the size of the operation.
1.1.2 A system for generating electricity includes a generator and an interface. The
generator is coupled to the interface and provides data to the interface regarding
electricity generation. The interface is coupled to a control node for monitoring and
controlling the generator. The control node may be coupled to the generator through a
medium such as the internet or the LAN.
1.1.3 Networking and Internet technologies enable real-time power system monitoring
from a central location. Remote power monitoring systems perform the same functions as
conventional systems — only the location is different. They gather real-time statistical
and historical data for a central place where there is a watch keeper, to analyze and act
on. The watch keeper can apply customized load reduction strategies, help schedule the
idle time of the processes around peak usage, compare utility rate structures, recommend
predictive and corrective maintenance based on trends, and troubleshoot problems.

1.2 Standard Functionalities:
a) Monitoring and surveillance of power generation, distribution and electric

propulsion systems consistent with unmanned machinery area/space operation
b) Semi-automatic control, allowing the operator to maintain control of the system
c) Multi switchboard management
d) Automatic control of operating modes for switchboard and propulsion
e) Automatic start and connect at blackout
f) Frequency control
g) Load-dependent start and stop

CHAPTER 2
GENESIS OF PREVIOUS PROJECT
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 The idea of controlling (switching ON/OFF) of generator from a remote position
using ADAM module was initiated by the previous project aimed to monitor and control
the generator parameters.
2.1.2 Initially, the project had been designed to control the generator located in the
power lab through the local area network by the commands given using a host computer
located at the FTP to the ADAM module. Due to the weaknesses of the local area
network connection the syndicate was unable to configure the computer as ADAM
module could not be detected. So to continue with the project further, they went in for a
Pear To Pear network connection.

2.3 SIGNAL CONDITIONING SETUP
2.3.1 Voltage Conditioning: - The voltage available at generator control panel is 440v,
3-phase, and 50Hz supply along with a neutral line. Output of generator was tapped and
fed to three in number step down transformers of rating 230v/6-0-6v. The outputs of
these transformers are individually rectified. The rectified signal is dropped across a 47K
resistor to achieve a smooth waveform. The DC voltages across the resistor are being
used as the sensed signal for individual voltages and are given to individual channels in
the Adam module..
2.3.2 Frequency Conditioning: - AC input from one of the phases is given as an input
to IC 7414. IC 7414 converts the sine wave to square pulses of same frequency. This
square pulse is given as a negative going trigger pulse to the IC LM231 which finally
converts the input frequency to a corresponding voltage. This voltage is then applied to
Adam module for frequency measurement. The entire circuit is fabricated on a single
PCB (F1), with test points provided on it for monitoring input and output.
2.3.3 Power Supply details: - Power Supply Unit consists of a bridge rectifier BR1
and voltage regulators VR1and VR2 for giving a constant output of +\-12vdc. The input
for the PSU is from a 230v/12-0-12v transformer. The transformer provides stepped
down AC supply to the power supply unit and it also provides the AC input signal to the
F1 card.
2.3.4 Trigger circuit: - The trigger circuit triggers the relay whenever the command
from remote computer is imparted to switch ON / switch OFF the generator through
ADAM module. Separate driving supply is used for the relays and keeping the ADAM
module output signal only for triggering it to relay through a trigger circuit.

VFD INTERFACE
WITH PC

CHAPTER 3
VFD INTERFACE WITH PC
3.1 PRINCIPLE
3.1.1 The speed of an AC motor can be controlled in the following ways : -

a) Applied voltage
b) Supply frequency
c) Number of poles
As the name implies the Variable Frequency Drive helps the user to control the speed of
AC motor by varying the supply frequency. VFD has various other features like
monitoring, controlling, overload protection, over speed protection etc which makes it
more suitable for industrial applications. The VFD has got inbuilt port which allows
serial communication with the PC. The connection in our setup is done with the help of
RS 232 cable.
Fig 3.1- VFD Setup
3.2 ELEMENTS OF THE INTERFACE

a) RS 232 cable
b) RJ45 and 9 pin female serial port connectors
c) VFD drive wizard

3.3 CONFIGURATION OF RS 232 CABLE
The one end of RS 232 cable is connected to RJ 45 port. This end is connected to the
VFD through which the VFD is accessed. The other end of the cable is connected to the 9
pin female connector, so that the data can fed to the PC via serial port. Following is the
configuration used for connecting female connector with the RS 232 cable.
Fig 3.2:- Female connector to RS 232 connection
3.4 SOFTWARE
Once the data is fed to the PC the requirement is to read the data. The previous batches
tried to read the data using the ADAM module which was unsuccessful. To overcome
this hurdle the syndicate conducted a study on VFD and associated software’s. Assistance
was taken from the OEM (Yasakwa Electric Ltd). Drive wizard 6.1 software was found
suitable for the application. The software was installed and run on the PC.

3.5 TEST SETUP
The test setup consisted of a 3 phase induction motor and the syndicate aimed at
controlling the speed of the motor. The required wires were rigged up and three phase
supply was provided. Following were the parameters set on VFD through drive wizard.
a) Motor rating
b) Running current
c) Supply frequency
d) Range of speed control
e) Voltage
After completion of the above settings the software was run and communication was
established between VFD and PC. The following tasks were performed: -
a) Control window was displayed on the PC which had buttons to regulate the motor
b) Speed of the motor was entered and start command was given.
c) Speed of the motor was verified using a stroboscope.
The syndicate was able to monitor the parameters listed in the test setup. The drive
wizard also gives the graphical display of the monitored parameters. The drive wizard
also had the option of changing the direction of rotation of the motor.

CHAPTER - 4
CONFIGURATION OF ADAM
MODULE WITH PC

CHAPTER 4
CONFIGURATION OF ADAM MODULE WITH PC
4.1 MOXA NPORT
4.1.1 The Adam module is connected to the computer through MOXA NPORT DE-311
module. This Nport module is basically a RS-485 to Ethernet and vice versa converter.
In addition the Nport module facilitates in generating a virtual COM port. The meaning
of Virtual COM port is that when the computer is asked to communicate with the Adam
modules, it will do so as if the Adam module is connected to one of its COM ports.
Where as, in reality the Adam module is connected through the LAN port.
4.1.2 This helps in interfacing the Adam utility software to the module, which only
recognizes a COM port. But at the same time we need to put the Adam module in a
network, so avoiding the LAN port is impossible. Nport helps us in solving this problem
by generating a virtual COM port.
Fig 4.1:- RealCOM Installer

4.2 COM PORT CONFIGURATION
4.2.1 Creation of virtual COM port has to be done only once in a particular
computer, that is during initial installation. During initial configuration of the system
it is necessary to connect the Nport module in a peer to peer network connection
using a cross cable. Configure the IP address of the Nport as given by the
administrator of the LAN network. This is done using the REAL COM (Fig 4.1)
facility available in the driver. To initiate this option we need to click on to the
REAL COM icon in the start menu. Once we have opened the REAL COM window
we need to give a broadcast search to detect the Nport. Once detected double click on
the detected module and change the IP address of the Nport. This action also
generates the Virtual COM port necessary. In our case we have designated the
Virtual COM port as COM4. This process is to be carried out only once during the
initial installation.
Fig 4.2:- COMPORT Configuration

4.3 IP ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
4.3.1 In our case the IP address assigned for the Nport module is 192.168.172.254.
Now connect the Nport to the network and load the Nport Configurator (Fig 4.2) from the
Start menu and click the Search by IP icon. Now type 192.168.172.254 in the window
and click search. The Configurator would recognize the Nport. This brings the Virtual
COM port to an active state. Close the Nport Configurator window.
4.4 CONNECTION
4.4.1 The next action is to detect the Adam module on the COM4 port. This is done by
loading the Adam 4000-5000 Utility program (Fig 4.3). This program opens and displays
the available COM ports to the Computer. Select COM4 and click Broadcast search.
This would open a new window and ask for the starting address for the search. Select the
default value, i.e., zero and click OK. The program starts scanning the port for any
available Adam module on the network. Once the Adam module is detected it would
display the same in the left console and will continue searching for further modules. This
is the time when we can stop the scanning of the addresses.
4.4.2 Click on the Adam module displayed and see as to which all modules have been
connected to the main rack. We can also monitor the present values of each channel on
the module. This is the program from which the Channels are calibrated for zero and
scan levels. For calibration it is required to sort the Init* point to Gnd point in the Adam
rack. When the module is wired for calibration it is not possible to use the module for
monitoring. Once calibration is over it is necessary to open the Init* connection.

Fig 4.3:- ADAM Utility Software
4.5 ADAM VIEW
4.5.1 Now the next step is open the AdamView program to design the front end for the
program. Before initiating the AdamView program it is necessary to close the Adam
Utility program. This is to avoid conflict between the two programs, that is to say that
Adam modules can be polled by only one program. Both Utility and AdamView would
try polling the same module and end up with a message `PORT FAILURE’.
4.5.2 Once Utility is closed and AdamView is open first select the Device Manager.
Here it is necessary to add all the available modules in the COM4 port. Once this is done
close the Device Manager window and start a new file. As soon as a new file is opened it
will display two windows, namely a Task Window and a Display Window.
4.5.3 Task window is used to designate a task and assign it to a particular Channel in
the module. For example, to monitor the value of the Channel 0 of Slot 0 we need to

select the AI icon. This AI icon has to be configured for the designated channel. This is
done by double clicking the module, which would open the properties window of the
Task (Fig 4.4). Here select the source by clicking on to the Connect button which would
open the Device manager window. Select the required slot (in our case slot 0) and press
ok. Back in the properties window select the channel (in our case channel 0) and click
ok. Now the AI block has been configured to monitor the values of Channel 0 of Slot 0.
Fig 4.4:- ADAM Viewer Analog Input
4.5.4 To actually display the values it is necessary to go to the Display Window and
select the Indicator icon. To configure or connect the indicator to the AI block, select and
go to the properties window (Fig 4.5) of the indicator by double clicking on the indicator.
Here click on the Connect button; this would open another window which will give us the
option to select the Task and parameter. Here we need to select Task1 and AI1. Once
the selection is over we can also configure the way the indicator would look and press
OK. Now to monitor the value in Runtime click RUN in the menu bar. The front end is
now operational and would display the current value being measured by the channel.

Fig 4.5:- ADAM Viewer Display
4.5.5 All the Indications and the graphs that have been used in the project have been
developed in the way that was explained above. It is important to note that when the
AdamView is being used Adam utility program has to be closed otherwise a conflict in
polling would lead to the port failure. It is also necessary to remember that the
AdamView program available with us is a Demo version and therefore runs continuously
only for two hours. Time left can be seen from the reverse clock ticking in the Title bar.

GRAPHICAL USER
INTERFACE

CHAPTER 5
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
5.1 DEVELOPMENT OF GUI
5.1.1 As per the aim of the project the design and development of the common
graphical user interface for monitoring the power lab facilities was developed using
Visual Basic. The purpose was to develop an user friendly interface for ease of operation
and monitoring. It is the main user interface of the system. In addition to this, ADAM
Viewer software was used to develop the graphical user interface for the ADAM module
for monitoring the generator parameters. The Variable Frequency Drive comes with its
own software based GUI (DRIVE WIZARD) developed by the OEM.
5.2 DESIGN
5.2.1 The figure below shows the design of the front page of the GUI. By clicking on
the enter tab present on the screen one can enter into the next interface given below.
Fig 5.1:- Graphical User Interface

After we enter into this page, we get links to either go to Generator monitoring and
controls or to VFD monitoring depending on the selection we do by pressing the enter
tabs present. After we have made the selection, we go to the ADAM Viewer GUI or the
GUI of the Variable Frequency Drive (DRIVE WIZARD) to monitor the parameters of
the same from a single console.
5.3 VISUAL BASIC PROGRAM

The programming code for the main GUI developed using VISUAL BASIC is given
below.

CIRCUITRY AND SETUP OF

THE CONSOLE

CHAPTER 6
CIRCUITRY AND SETUP OF THE CONSOLE
6.1 INPUT PARAMETERS
The entire development of the signal conditioning setup is as follows:
6.1.1 The previous project group has tapped the phases through three in number
step down transformers of rating 230v/6-0-6v and the signals are individually
rectified. The rectified signal is now dropped across a 47K resistor to achieve a
smooth waveform. The DC voltages across the resistor are being used as the sensed
signal for individual voltages and are given to individual channels in the Adam
module.
6.1.2 IC LM231 is a voltage to frequency converter which can also be used as a

frequency to voltage converter. This voltage is then applied to Adam module for
frequency measurement
6.2 MODIFICATION:-
5.2.1 Due to the lack of the circuit diagram and also the scope of the project
being to monitor the parameters i.e. voltage and frequency on the LAN, we studied
the technical specifications of the ADAM module used and found that the voltage
required at the input of the ADAM module is 6V. For this purpose, we have used two
(02 in Nos) Lead-Acid batteries as the input to the ADAM module.

6.3 FINAL SETUP
The project upon completion implements the basic set up as shown in the figure. The set
up is divided in to two channels.
a) Channel 1
b) Channel 2
6.3.1 CHANNEL 1
Channel 1 connects VFD (located in switchboard lab) with the PC. The
connection is made with the help of RS 232 cable. The configuration of which is already
explained. The basic aim of the syndicate was to connect the VFD to PC using CM 092
Ethernet/IP Option kit, but due to non availability of the hardware RS 232 was used.
6.3.2 CHANNEL 2
Channel 2 connects mobile generator with the PC. The various conversion tools
used in between the connection were ADAM Module and MOXA port. The approximate
distance between the generator and the PC is 50 meter. So a CAT 5 cable (capable of
providing connectivity up to 100mtr was used for the purpose). The output of the
generator is fed to input module of ADAM from were it gets converted to digital format.
The output of the ADAM module is fed to MOXA port where it is converted from RS
485 to RS 232.
The output of MOXA port is given to PC. The MOXA port is assigned an IP
address with the help of ADAM Viewer software which is also used for monitoring the
generator parameters. A cross cable was utilized to connect MOXA port to network
switch.

ADDITIONS
&
ALTERATIONS

CHAPTER 7
ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
7.1 The interface on ADAM-VIEWER for monitoring the parameters i.e.voltage,

frequency and current developed by the project group of Remote Switching ON/OFF
being unavailable with FTP created a minor hurdle in implementing our project. Since,
development of the interface was not part of the scope of the project; the group had to
study the software and develop its own interface for monitoring the parameters.
7.2 VFD interface with the PC was undertaken by the project group of O-148. Our
project scope included the project to monitor the same via LAN. The project group was
unable to interface the VFD with PC using the drive wizard software and was finally able
to communicate via a microcontroller. This again created a hurdle for connecting the
VFD with LAN. Our syndicate had to study the DRIVE-WIZARD software and
configure the VFD to setup communication with PC. The VFD was successfully
interfaced with the PC and communication was setup.
7.3 For interfacing the VFD with LAN, our project group made and in-depth study of
the CM-092(Ethernet-ip card). The card being unavailable the group tried to set up
communication using the MOXA N-PORT (DE-311). The IP address assigned to the
VFD is a default IP address assigned by the company itself (YASAKAWA ELECTRIC
LTD.). Due to this the MOXA N-PORT could not be configured with the VFD as the
system asked for the default IP address to configure. The project group then configured
the VFD to set up communication using RS-232 cable to communicate between VFD and
PC.

7.4 An 8 port network switch was used to connect the MOXA port with the PC. The
original aim of incorporating the switch was to interface the VFD via the switch using the
CM-092 (Ethernet IP) card. Since, the card was unavailable the switch was used so that
few more devices can be added to the setup in future.

CONCLUSION

CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION
8.1 DELIVERABLES
The integrated monitoring system for power lab facilities is designed for remote
monitoring which can provide the necessary information you need to stay on top of
equipment conditions and power status, regardless of the size of the operation. It helps
reduce manpower requirement and also increases efficiency and reliability. It provides
the watch keeper an easy interface to analyze and to recommend predictive and corrective
maintenance based on trends, and troubleshoot problems.
8.2 FUTURE SCOPE
The present and future scope of the project is immense.

lubrication oil temperature, freshwater temperature can be remotely monitored via LAN
from a central hub.
2. The setup can be further designed to indicate remote Circuit breaker control and
automatic synchronization of two generators.

APPENDIX - A
ADAM 5000
INTRODUCTION
The ADAM-5000 series developed by Advantech Co., Ltd. provides a wide

variety of features in a data acquisition and control application. It includes 4 I/O-slots
ADAM-5000/485 and 8 I/O-slots ADAM-5000E. They are remotely controlled by the
host computer through a set of commands and transmitted in a RS-485 network. The
system kernel is small, but offers many good features to the users. The modular design
also provides more flexibility in the system configuration.
ADAM-5000 system components.
The ADAM-5000 system consists of two major parts: the system kernel and I/O modules.
ADAM-5000 System Kernel
The ADAM-5000/485 system kernel includes a CPU card, a power regulator, a 4-

slot base, a built-in RS-232 communication port and one built-in RS-485 communication
port.
The system kernel includes a CPU card, power regulator, 4-slot base, 8-slot base,
built-in RS-232 communication port, and a pair of built-in RS-485 ports.
I / O Configuration
The ADAM-5000/485 CPU can support up to 64 I/O points with the 4- slot base
currently available. These points can be assigned as input or output points.

I / O Modules
The ADAM-5000 series has a complete range of I/O modules for different
applications. A full range of digital modules which support 10 to 30 V DC and relay
outputs are offered. The analog modules provide 16-bit resolution
Diagnosis
There are 4 LEDs (indicated as PWR, RUN, TX and RX) to provide visual
information on the general operation of the ADAM-5000 system. The LEDs also indicate
the error status when the ADAM-5000 system performs the self test. Besides the LED
indicators, the system also offers software diagnosis via the RS-232 port.
Connectivity and Programming
ADAM-5000 systems can connect and communicate with computers and

terminals. They use either RS-232 or RS-485 transmission standards and communicate
with ASCII format commands. However, users can only select and use one
communication port at any time.
I / O Modules
Analog Input Modules
Analog input modules use an A/D converter to convert sensor voltage, current,
thermocouple or RTD signals into digital data. The digital data is then translated into
Engineering units. The analog input modules protect your equipment from ground loops
and power surges by providing opto-isolation of the A/D input and transformer based
isolation up to 3,000V DC.

APPENDIX – D
VFD
This AC drive is the Industrial Workhorse that can handle every conventional
application found within the typical industrial plant from simple variable torque pumping
to sophisticated networked material handling.
This drive is designed for tough industrial environments. It is rugged and reliable, with an
MTBF of 28 years.
In-built Protection Devices
. The dual ratings, Normal and Heavy duty, enable the most economical match of
overload capacity for the application. Providing the right fit to power requirements is also
easy with 208 to 230/240 and 480 volt ratings, built-in bus choke above 30 HP,
provisions for 12-pulse rectification above 30 HP, common bus capability and
regeneration options. Patented high slip braking can eliminate the need for dynamic
braking resistors for high inertia loads. Other features include motor auto-tuning and a
wide range of configurable options, such as breakers and fuses.
Control Method
The F7 can operate in conventional V/f, V/f with encoder feedback, open loop vector, or
closed loop vector mode. Drive performance can be further enhanced for a specific
application with optional drive software.
