• Event log overview
Your meter can generate COMTRADE files and store them on the meter's internal FTP
site.
COMTRADE stands for COMmon format for TRAnsient Data Exchange defined by IEC
60255-24 edition 2001-05, and defines a common format for power quality event
(disturbance) data in order to simplify retrieval, analysis and exchange of disturbance
data between multiple sources and vendors.
The format of your meter's COMTRADE files is as defined by IEC 60255-24 edition
2001-05.
COMTRADE can be used in conjunction with IEC 61850.

• FTP
COMTRADE is configured as part of the default waveform recording framework.
COMTRADE records will be for sag/swell events. The only configuration you need to
do is to enter your nominal voltage to enable waveform recording. COMTRADE
records are stored as read-only files on your meter's internal FTP server, and are
deleted when you perform a Master reset of the meter.
By default:
• The meter is configured so COMTRADE records are generated for the default
waveform recorders.
NOTE: If you add additional waveform recorders and you want COMTRADE
files generated for these new recorders, you need to configure a new
COMTRADE module using ION Setup Advanced mode. You can configure up
to three COMTRADE modules.
• The oldest COMTRADE record is overwritten by the newest record when the
COMTRADE depth is exceeded.
NOTE: COMTRADE files can only be downloaded using an Ethernet connection.
They cannot be downloaded using serial, modem or Ethernet gateway
connections.
