1 Introduction The Crompton Switchboard 1540 is a panel mounted self contained measuring, display and communication device. This system will measure display and communicate up to 31 electrical parameters, integrating high accuracy measurement technology with the simplicity and visibility of 7 segment LED displays.
A pulsed relay output, representing kW.h, with selectable pulse width, and an RS485 Modbus output (see Section 4 Integra 1540 Display Screens) are available as optional features. Connections for both are via screw clamp terminals. 2 Installation 2.1 Display The Switchboard Integra 1540 may be mounted in a panel of any thickness up to a maximum of 0.47”.

5 Programming The following sections comprise step by step procedures for configuring the Switchboard 1540 for the individual user requirements. To access the set-up screens press and hold the “ Adjust” and “>> Next” keys simultaneously for 5 seconds. This will take the user into the password protection entry stage. (See Section 5.1 Password Protection).

Potential Transformer Digit Edit. Pressing the “ Adjust” key will scroll the value of the most significant digit from 0 through to 9 unless the presently displayed potential transformer ratio together with the full scale current value, previously set, would result in a maximum power of greater than 360 Megawatts in which case the digit range will be restricted.
5.2.3 Demand Integration Time Edit This screen is used to set the time taken for maximum demand readings; the value displayed represents time in minutes. Integration periods of 8, 15, 20 or 30 minutes can be selected. Pressing the “>> Next” key accepts the present value and advances to the “Reset”...
5.2.4 Resets The following screens allow the user to reset the Active Energy, Demand and Maximum Demand readings individually or altogether. Note: Resetting the Demand will automatically reset the Maximum Demands (HiAd and HiPd). Reset (None). Pressing the “>> Next” key advances to the “Pulse Duration” menu.

6 Outputs 6.1 Modbus‚ Implementation Integra 1540 offers the option of a RS 485 communication module for direct connection to SCADA systems using the Modbus‚ RTU protocol. The Modbus‚ protocol establishes the format for the master's query by placing into it the device address, a function code defining the requested action, any data to be sent, and an error checking field.

Register Addresses Each parameter is held in two consecutive 16 bit registers. The following table details the 3X register address, and the values of the address bytes within the message. A tick (÷) in the column indicates that the parameter is valid for the particular wiring system. Any parameter with a cross (X) will return the value Zero (0000h).
Page 32
The Demand Time (Address 1) is used to reset the demand period. A value of zero must be written to this register to accomplish this. Writing any other value will cause an error to be returned. Any valid value sent to this register will automatically reset the Maximum Demand register.

The output relay provides a fully isolated, volt free contact and connection is made via screw clamp terminals, which can accept cable up to 2.5 mm...
7 Maximum Demand Calculation The maximum power consumption of an installation is an important measurement as most power utilities base their charges on it. Many utilities use a thermal maximum demand indicator (MDI) to measure this peak power consumption. An MDI averages the power consumed over a number of minutes, such that short surges do not give an artificially high reading.
8 THD Calculation The calculation used for the Total Harmonic Distortion is: THD = ((RMS of total waveform – RMS of fundamental) / RMS of total waveform) x 100 This is often referred to as THD – R The figure is limited to the range 0 to 100%. For low signal levels the noise contributions from the signal may represent a significant portion of the “RMS of total waveform”...
