ElSpec Power
PQSCADA Monitoring Software for use with the G3500,G4400 and G4500 Blackbox Systems
Innovative PQSCADA Enterprise Analysis software enables the operator to view, control, analyze, and monitor multiple measurement devices simultaneously.
Innovative PQSCADA Enterprise Analysis software enables the
operator to view, control, analyze, and monitor multiple measurement
devices simultaneously. Data is accurately
time-synchronized within and across sites.
The PQSCADA Software Suite is installed on a computer providing
unparalleled data monitoring and analysis functionality for the
BLACKBOX devices.
-
The PQSCADA server is a windows based application that runs in the
background even when you are not logged in.
-
The PQSCADA Management Studio is the user interface (GUI) that is
used to configure the PQSCADA Server as well as check status of
components.
-
Client Application: Elspec Power Quality Investigator
-
MS SQL Storage: database engine.
PQSCADA Server Overview
The PQSCADA server is the
heart of the BLACKBOX data management and analysis system.
The main functionalities of the PQSCADA server are shown in the
figure above and further described below with corresponding numbered
marks:
-
Data collection (Downloading): The PQSCADA server system is
re-sponsible for collecting all continuous data (PQZip files) from a
connected device automatically. When the device is connected (wired or
wirelessly) the PQSCADA server automatically checks for any new data
availability using an FTP communication protocol.
-
Placing new files into the Incoming data folder: All new PQZip
files found on a connected device are copied (the original files remain
on device) to a temporary location on a local hard drive “Incoming data
folder”.
-
Data processing and storage: The next stage is data processing, in
which the data is being organized for storage and quick access (Stage
1) and then a variety of electrical parameters are being calculated
(Stage 2) based on the raw PQZip data. The reorganized PQZip data, as
well as the calculated parameter statistics are being stored in a local
SQL database. The files which have been processed and successfully
inserted to the database are then removed from the Incoming folder.
-
Networking: The PQSCADA server integrates a dedicated HTTP (default
port 80) interface that communicates with the PQSCADA Management Studio
(interactive management application) and the Elspec Power Quality
Investigator (data analysis application) running on, either the same or
different machine.
