Operation Techniques The following overview of the PM295 measurement and operation techniques is intended to provide an understanding of the way the instrument operates. 4.1 Sampling Technique The input signals taken on the input terminals are sampled at two rates, in an alternating fashion, to provide measurements at different frequency ranges.

  • Page 65: Averaging

    4.2.2 Averaging To split peaks, the PM295 offers a number of techniques for averaging real-time quantities. Two main techniques are used: sliding averaging performed over the predefined number of measurements, and time averaging performed within the predefined demand interval. Sliding averaging is applied to all real-time quantities except harmonic spectrum measurements.

  • Page 66: Demand Measurements

    Programmable Min/Max Log For the real-time harmonic quantities, the PM295 provides 16 programmable Min/Max log registers. The user can allocate these registers to any of the 16 harmonic parameters, and the instrument will continuously monitor them allowing the corresponding minimum and maximum values to be logged. Programmable Min/Max registers operate in the same manner as standard registers, and can be accessed and cleared in the same way.

  • Page 69: Demand Interval Measurement

    Accumulated demand can be checked for maximum demand allowed to trigger a setpoint at the moment when the actual demand has exceeded the predefined threshold and prior to the end of the demand interval, when only the new maximum demand value will be calculated. Predicted sliding window demand is a predicted value that a sliding window demand will reach at the end of the present demand interval, assuming the instantaneous power load will not change.

  • Page 70: Resetting The Demands

    The start of the demand interval is not synchronized to internal clock or external source. In the event of loss of power, or when any demand parameter is changed by the user, the instrument immediately begins to measure the first normal demand interval.

  • Page 71: Demand Interval Pulse

    This moment is also assumed to be a time base for following volt/ampere demand interval measurements. 2. Starting immediately, the first shorter demand interval is not considered for the demand measurements, and used exclusively for starting synchronization, for either internal or external time base source.

  • Page 73: Harmonic Parameters

    Fourier analysis is performed on four full waveform cycles providing a harmonic spectrum resolution of 1/4 of the fundamental frequency, so harmonic magnitudes are not falsified by adjacent frequencies. Due to simultaneous sampling of voltage and current waveforms on each phase, harmonic voltages and currents are evaluated with their respective phase angles providing calculations of harmonic powers and power factors.

  • Page 74: Real-Time Waveform Capture

    All harmonic parameters, except phase voltage and current harmonics, can be read via the front panel. Either harmonic parameter can be accessed through communications and used as a trigger for setpoint operation. 4.5.3 Real-time Waveform Capture The real-time waveforms sampled at a rate of 128 samples per cycle that is used in the instrument for harmonic measurements can be captured and transmitted via communications to a master PC for more detailed harmonic analysis.

  • Page 75: Calculated Neutral Current

    4.6.2 Calculated Neutral Current For 4-wire connections, the PM295 provides calculation of the neutral current, which comprises the current that returns through the neutral conductor along with the ground leakage. The range of measurement is the same as for phase currents. The parameter is accessible via the front panel and communications, and can trigger a setpoint.

  • Page 76: Phase Rotation

    assuming the last applicable frequency reading to provide sampling on the input terminals, and for most applications, measurement data will therefore be incorrect. As for other parameters, the PM295 provides both real-time frequency indication and a sliding average value over the last eight measurements. The average frequency reading can be viewed via the front panel, and either reading is accessible through communications, and can trigger setpoint operations.

    defines tariff change points per day indicating the beginning of the new tariff. When a tariff becomes active, the TOU system connects its cumulative and demand keeping registers to prescribed inputs , so they will accumulate measured energy and store extreme demands during the entire tariff period. The currently active tariff and profile numbers are accessible via communications, and can be used to trigger a setpoint.

    The setpoint will be operated continuously at specified intervals when the gating conditions are fulfilled, and will be stopped when they are not. For example, the user can perform time-gated data recording each 5 seconds for two hours from 8:00 to 10:00, or generate pulses through relay output each one second with the pulse duration of 0.5 second to flash an alarm signal when high current on any phase exceeds the predefined threshold, etc.

    Setpoint operations are not automatically recorded in the event log. If you want to have such operations recorded, you should explicitly specify the event logging action when programming the setpoint, and what kind of setpoint operations to be recorded: the setpoint activation, release, or both transitions. When such a setpoint is operated or released, the instrument records the event operation and all subsequent setpoint actions as separate events.

Waveform recording can run on any trigger. Recorded waveforms are not captured at the time the event triggers recording.

  • Page 91: Monitoring Disturbances

    The minimum number of waveform cycles that can be recorded during a disturbance is 16. The PM295 will record a disturbance as it lasts, so the maximum duration of a disturbance the instrument can record is limited by only the amount of memory allocated by the user for waveform recording.

  • Page 92: Setpoint Operation

    4.17 Setpoint Operation 4.17.1 General The event processing capabilities of the PM295 enable the handling of user-defined actions on programmable internal and external events. The setpoint system managed by the event processor module provides easy and flexible programming for different applications.

  • Page 93: Triggering Conditions

    The triggering condition specifies an event that will be recognized by the instrument as a cause for the setpoint to be operated (activated) or released (deactivated). Throughout this manual, an event is treated as a condition that relies on the value of some parameter, or its status.
  • Page 94 For each trigger, two limits are typically defined: the operate limit to assert the event, and the release limit - to release the event when the operate condition reverts. The release condition is the reversed operate condition (see Table 4-4). Table 4-4 Setpoint Conditions Operate condition Release condition...
  • Page 95 The release condition for logical triggers is always the reversed operate condition (see Table 4-4). The numeric limits are not applicable. NOTE Pulse triggers and interval timers may not be shared by different setpoints. The first setpoint that checks such a trigger will clear it, so that following setpoints will never be operated.

  • Page 96: Delaying Setpoint Operations

    4.17.4 Delaying Setpoint Operations The user can specify two optional delays to prolong monitoring setpoint conditions for more time before making a decision on either setpoint operating or release. When delay is set, the setpoint conditions should prove to be true until delay expires, i.e. for a period at least as long as delay time, for the setpoint to be operated or released.

    setpoints at the same time. Either relay output is operated using OR scheme for all setpoints. The relay will be operated when there is at least one setpoint activating the relay output, and will be released when this is not the case. 4.17.6 Special Considerations Power Loss In the event of loss of power, all relay outputs will be released.

  • Page 99: Setpoint Programming Techniques

    4.17.7 Setpoint Programming Techniques This section describes setpoint programming practice in examples. It is recommended to use a special form provided in Appendix C to plan setpoint parameters prior the user changes them in the instrument. Refer to Appendix B (Tables B-6, B-7) for the entire list of available setpoint triggers and their abbreviations.
  • Page 100 The setpoint remains operated until the parameter that triggered the setpoint reverts to its release limit. While the trigger parameter is in the band between its operate and release limits (dead band), the setpoint will remain operated. When release conditions are fulfilled, i.e., all trigger parameters are behind their release limits (high current ≤...

  • Page 105 To utilize both forced operate and forced release options, two programmable event flags should be used as operate conditions for the setpoint, being connected: one - with an OR, and the second - with an AND operation. Monitoring and Recording Disturbances Example 4-10 shows how to program a setpoint for monitoring and recording disturbances.
  • Page 106 Here, two problems arise: The first is that a setpoint may not provide more than four actions at once, and we need at least five to record data in five different data log partitions. The second is that the trigger event is a pulse that will be cleared immediately after we check it, and we need a trigger to operate a setpoint for more long time.

  • Page 108 When the instrument is turned on and when the instrument setup configuration changed, the instrument always waits for the measurements to be fully settled before displaying readings. The settling delay for time averaged measurements (demands) may be as long as the user-defined averaging interval.

    5.2.2 EIA RS-422 and EIA RS-485 Standards Both RS-422 and RS-485 are serial differential interface standards , permitting reliable communications for distances up to 1200 meters. Because of the differential mode used, line noise is nullified. In the RS-422 standard, the interconnection of instruments with a computer is performed via two pairs of lines, one pair for transmission, and one for reception (full duplex).

    If you are using a printer instead of a computer, you should select the Prnt entry. For the printout format, see Section 5.5. For the cable connections , refer to Appendix D. 5.3.2 Interface This parameter configures the communications port for EIA RS-232 or RS - 422/485 standards.

    electrically and electromagnetically noisy environment. In these cases, it is recommended to decrease the baud rate . 5.3.5 Data Format The PM295 supports three data formats: 7 data bits with even parity check, 8 data bits with no parity, and 8 data bits with even parity. In the Modbus RTU protocol, the only 8-bit data format with parity or without parity check may be used.

  • Page 113: Dtr/Rts Control Line

    5.3.7 DTR/RTS Control Line This additional outgoing signal operates independently of DSR/CTS operation. It is commonly not used, but it may be necessary with some of modems or signal converters. With the DTR option selected, this signal is permanently asserted high. When the RTS option is chosen, the signal is asserted high during transmission and is low during reception.

  • Page 114: Response Time

    5.4 Response Time To let the master PC switch a communications port, it is guarantied that Powermeter's minimum response time will not be less than 1,75 character time depending on the baud rate used, and not less than 5 ms. When the RTS option is in effect, the response will be delayed at 10 ms after the RTS line is asserted high.
