Device Monitoring

This section provides background information on powermanager devices. For instructions on monitoring powermanager devices, see the step-by-step section.

Charts Tab

The Charts tab contains the following tiles:

  • Favorites: (default selection): Displays the control such as gauges and trends associated with their configured measurement points. There are three gauges that display the values of the configured measurement points.
    • The gauges display measurement point descriptions, color range and values along with the units.
    • The Trend control represents the variations in the values of a device over a specific time range. A trend can contain any number of hierarchically arranged areas for representing curves, with scales and legends. Trend view allows for a visual comparison of individual trends.
    • The bar chart section displays the configured measurement point with a month as the default interval.
  • Trends: When you click the Trends tile, it displays the live trend series for the measurement points that are configured.
    It has options to start and stop the live trend when you click Start.
    It also has options to show or hide the data points associated with the trend when you click the toggle icon.
    Additionally, you can zoom the data in the trend chart by hovering over the trend and scrolling.
    You can also change time duration the trend using the range selector option at the bottom of the trend.
    You can view the trend information for any of the following parameters:
    • Custom: You can view the live trends of the measurement points that are already configured.
    • Voltage: You can view two sets of trends under this tab. The trends in 3-phase-to-phase-voltages and the average-phase-to-phase voltage is the first set. The second set of trends is 3-phase-to-neutral voltages and average-phase-to-neutral voltage.
    • Current: Displays the trends in 3-phase currents and average current.
    • Power: Displays the total active power and reactive power trends.
    • Power Internal: Displays the trends of cumulated active power import and the cumulated reactive power import.
    • Power Factor: Displays the trend of the total power factor.
    • THD: Displays trends of current and voltage.
  • Energy: When you click the Energy tile, it displays the energy consumption details. It also enables you to compare the energy consumption between 2 different time ranges. It consists of the following fields:
    • Measurement Point: Displays the already configured measurement points. Active Energy import tariff 1, 1 hour and 15 minutes are the default values. Also, the Compare checkbox is unchecked by default. You can select any of these points to display the trend series for the point.
    • Duration: Displays the bar chart for the selected duration.
    • Interval: Displays the bar chart according to the selected interval for the duration selected.
    • Compare: Allows you to compare data according to the specified duration.
    • Apply: Click to reflect the changes in the trend chart.
    • Reset: Resets the selected values.

 

  • Harmonics: Allows you to view the harmonic values in a bar chart depending on the following selection:
    • Voltage L-N: Displays the line-to-neutral voltage harmonics.
    • Voltage L-L: Displays the line-to-line voltage harmonics.
    • Current: Displays the current harmonics.
    • Individual Harmonics: Select a harmonic to view its detailed values (including time stamp). The bar chart shows the harmonic proportions related to the basic oscillation up to the 64th harmonic. By default, you see the instantaneous values of the harmonics.

    • Digital Outputs: Allows you to switch the digital outputs of the PAC3200, PAC3200T, and PAC4200 devices. For this purpose, you must configure the digital outputs as remote output in the device. You can switch on or switch off the digital output by clicking ON or OFF. The switching state is indicated by the following lamp icon:
      - Signal of the digital output is high (1)
      - Signal of the digital output is low (0)
    • Digital Inputs: Displays the digital inputs and its type of use
    • Commands: The commands section contains buttons that can be used to change device settings during runtime. The commands can only be transferred if password protection is switched off on the device. Below are the available commands:
    • Acknowledge Diagnostics: Acknowledges and resets the diagnosed device performance values.
    • Reset Energy Counters: Resets the values for the measurement points to 0.
    • Reset Maximum Values: Allows you to update the maximum value.
    • Reset Minimum Values: Allows you to update the minimum value.
  • Device Information: Displays the information of the device including device name, type, description, manufacturer, hardware/software version, and so on.

 

NOTE:
When an N-Conductor module is connected to a PAC3200 or a PAC4200 device, the N-Conductor details are displayed. The I5, I6 and In values are displayed in this section. Also, the neutral current measured are also displayed in the Summary tile.

 

Overview Tab (Breakers)

The Overview tab displays the summary of different data point values measured by the devices. It contains the following tiles:

    • Summary: Displays breaker information and commands, messages with trip log and event log, condition monitoring, real-time values for Active Power, Reactive Power, Apparent Power, Current, and Energy. DAS+ shows the status of DAS+ function (Active or Inactive). When DAS + is active, the blue square box is displayed with the Active text. If DAS+ is inactive, the grey square box with the text Inactive is displayed. Energy flow shows the defined and actual energy flow in the breaker. It also displays exported, imported, or no energy flow.
