This chapter contains operational description of the hardware functions of the 61000,
Introduction
configurable through Encore Series Software or through the optional user interface
when installed. Section A describes the external communications device and software
applications necessary for remote operation of 61000. Section B describes the 61000 as
a stand-alone unit with the LCD screen installed.
For detailed information on 61000 remote operation, refer to the Encore Series
Software User's Guide. For local operation and functional screen display, refer to the
61000 Optional User Interface Guide (check with Dranetz-BMI for availability).
The 61000 uses the concept of virtual analyzers to interface with the modular design of
Virtual analyzer
platform
the mainframe. 61000 operation is dependent on the type of input/output modules
installed on the rear panel of the instrument. As described in Chapter 2 Controls,
Indicators, and Connectors, the 61000 can have a maximum of 4 modules, with
separate and independent connection for each input/output module. The user can
configure up to four virtual analyzers, depending on module types installed. The
instrument is factory-set to pair voltage and current modules in adjacent slots together
as a virtual analyzer. If the two sets of voltage and current modules are present, there
will be two virtual analyzers. If one voltage and three current modules are present, each
current module will be paired up with the voltage module to make three virtual
analyzers.
Virtual analyzers operate independently of each other. Each has its own set of
functional icons in the local user interface, which when pressed allows users to view
data from. For example, after the user selects Virtual Analyzer 2 configured to monitor
voltage and current data, the user can then press the Meter icon to view voltage and
current meter values. Similar concept applies to Scope, Harmonics, Trend, Events and
Setup. Virtual analyzer tag names can be specified by the user, for example "UPS#4".
You must select a circuit type when you are collecting data for power parameters such
Circuit type
as watts, VAs, PF, and VARs. If you don't select the proper circuit type, the ABC totals
will not be calculated correctly.
