CHAPTER 6
Advanced Setup Options
Overview
Introduction
This chapter describes the options available to users with applications that require
advanced setups. Although the Energy Platform is designed to capture data no matter
what the setup is, users are able to configure combinations of setups unique to their task
applications.
Definitions
Setup
: A fixed condition of parameter thresholds based on IEEE 1159 rms voltage
variation, that determines what will constitute an event. In addition, other parameters
such as demand or harmonic distortion, have preset thresholds that the user can modify.
Event
: The Energy Platform can record three types of events namely sag, swell or
aggregate snapshot. A sag or swell event is detected when the rms threshold limits are
exceeded by +/- 10% of the nominal input. Aggregate snapshot is a timed snapshot for
which a trend plot can be viewed over a user selected time interval. For each type of
event, the min and max values and time stamp are displayed for analysis.
Parameter threshold
: A value that the Energy Platform compares to a measurement to
decide if an event occurs. Also called a limit. For example, if the input voltage is
measured as 135 Vrms, and the parameter threshold for voltage is 132 Vrms, Energy
Platform saves this limit crossing to memory as an event.
