Performing Remote Analysis (TNS)

The CCE has the capability to decide the quality of a TC reading based on the

Hour of Reading and Configuration field in the status byte of the Total

Consumption registers.

If the Hour of Reading and Configuration field is equal to zero, the CCE marks the

TC data as suspect. If this is the case, there is no EMTR-3 present.

If the Hour of Reading and Configuration field is equal to twenty five, the CCE

marks the quality of TC data appropriately.

If this is the case, the time and date stamp for the data is more than twenty four

hours old.

When the Hour of Reading and Configuration is equal to twenty five or twenty

six, the CCE uses the current date and time to mark when the TC data was received

at the master station.

If the Hour of Reading and Configuration field is equal to twenty six, the CCE

marks the quality of TC data appropriately based on the utility configured quality

rules. If this is the case, the time and date stamp for the data is invalid.

If the Hour of Reading and Configuration field is equal to thirty, the CCE marks

the TC data as suspect. If this is the case, an IED is installed but no data has been

received yet.

If the Hour of Reading and Configuration field is equal to thirty one, the CCE

marks the TC data as suspect. If this is the case, there is no IED installed on this

port.

IED Configuration Data Files

TNS has the capability to produce IED Configuration Data files, as defined in this

section, for export to other applications. The IED Configuration Data export file is

composed of a number of records.

Each data record in the IED Configuration Data export file contains the data fields

listed in Table 2.

Each data record in the IED Configuration Data export file always populates the

following fields: Meter Number, Serial Number, Serial Port and Device Type.

Any field in an IED Configuration Data record that is not populated is left blank.
