Services are special programs that run in the background without any visible windows. Services can be set to automatically start, when the computer starts, even if no one logs onto the computer. NOTE 2: The InfoNode service turns the computer into a web server supporting HTTP, FTP, SYSLOG, NTP and Telnet services. For this reason, make sure no other programs or services are running that use these protocols. Specifically, the computer must not be running web server software MS IIS®, MS Personal Web Server®, or Apache®. If the computer is connected to the Internet, these protocols can be a security risk. It is recommended that the computer be dedicated to being a PC InfoNode. InfoNode on PC Installation and Setup IMPORTANT: The following procedure will install the InfoNode on your PC for a trial period of 30 days. The Signature System InfoNode Setup program copies the service onto your computer, performs all the necessary service registration, and creates Start Menu items for controlling the service. The InfoNode will operate for a period of 30 days upon installation. To continue to use the service beyond 30 days, you must install a hardware lock called HASP, on your computer. The HASP can also be installed even before the 30-day trial period expires. NOTE THAT YOU MUST INSTALL THE INFONODE SOFTWARE BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE HASP. See page 2-10 for information on how to install the PC-InfoNode with HASP. Getting Started To install InfoNode on PC, insert the CD-ROM with the InfoNode program on the disc drive, and do the following: a. Click on the ‘Install InfoNode’ link provided in the program disc.

Users can communicate with the InfoNode on PC using a web browser. NOTE: The InfoNode service must be installed and running before you can connect to it via a web browser. If you have a large database, it may take several minutes for the InfoNode service to respond to web requests. When the browser used to access InfoNode is on the same computer where InfoNode software is installed, specify ‘localhost’ (see sample screen below) as the site address from which to access the InfoNode home page. The InfoNode service setup program provides a Start Menu icon to enable you to specify the local host site address setting. Other computers connected to the same network can also access the InfoNode program installed on your computer. To communicate with the InfoNode using a browser from another computer, enter either the network name or the IP address (see sample screen below) of the computer running the InfoNode service in the site address field of the browser. Contact your network administrator for guidance to access your network system. Once the proper site address is entered into the web browser, the InfoNode service will ask you to log-on. You can log-on as the ‘admin’ user. The default password for the ‘admin’ user is ‘password’. Enter the user name and password into the appropriate boxes and click OK to access the InfoNode Home page. Refer to Chapter 3 Home Page for details. 2-5 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Preparation for Use 2 Time Service Installation and Setup Time synchronization for the Signature System requires a reliable time source. More often than not, the real-time clock (RTC) built into most computers is not accurate nor reliable. In order to use the Signature System NTP time service, a time server must be available. A licensed copy of the ‘Tardis 2000 Time Server’ is included in the InfoNode on PC disc application package. This software utility serves as a time server providing a time source for any device (including EPQ DataNodes) that share the network as the computer where the software is installed. The Tardis software can detect the right time in various ways i.e. accessing Internet-based Atomic Clocks, using networked time servers, Global Positioning System or GPS technology, radio clocks, and by listening for time broadcasts over a LAN. The Service version of Tardis 2000 runs as a Windows® 2000/XP service, just like any other Windows® application service. Getting Started To begin installation of Tardis 2000 Time Server, insert the CD-ROM with the InfoNode program on the disc drive. To install the Tardis program on your PC, you may either: a. Click on the ‘Install TARDIS Time Server’ link provided in the disc. OR Browse the contents of the disc to locate the ‘TardisNTPServers\WIN2000XP’ folder, then select the ‘tardis2000ntService.exe’ file. b. Double-click the ‘tardis2000ntService.exe’ file. c. Follow the instructions on-screen and/or in the next pages to continue installing Tardis 2000 Time Server. 2-6 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Preparation for Use 2 Tardis 2000 Time Server Setup 1.

To continue to use InfoNode on PC beyond 30 days you must install a HASP on your computer. The HASP can be installed even before the 30-day trial period for PC InfoNode ends. WARNING: DO NOT insert the HASP before installing the InfoNode program. Otherwise, MS Windows® will fail to find the proper driver for the HASP but may still add a non-working HASP driver to the Device Manager (Control Panel System). In this case, the HASP driver needs to be manually removed from the Device Manager (Control Panel System). When done, restart the computer and reinstall PC-InfoNode from the CD-ROM. InfoNode on PC: To install the InfoNode program from the CD-ROM, follow the instructions on InfoNode on PC Installation and Setup on pages 2-1 to 2-5. HASP: The InfoNode HASP (see figure below) can be keyed to the USB port. Align the HASP to the keyed port and push gently to lock it in place. Keep the HASP in the port while using the InfoNode program. NOTE: Make sure to write down the serial number of your HASP and keep this information in a secure place.

These include magnitude-versus- duration graphs, lists of all of the events, or lists of events that are classified by IEEE 1159 as RMS variations or tran- sients. The same Query Section in the Timeline appears to allow you to select what date/time range and which DataNodes are to be included in the views. 3D RMS Mag/Dur View 3-D Mag-dur graphs show the number of RMS variations of a specified range of magnitude and duration, also called bins. For example, an RMS variation with a magnitude of 80-90% of nominal and 1-5 cycles in duration is one bin, whereas 80-90% and 10-30 cycles is another, 70-80% and 10-30 cycles is another, and so on. Each time that the charac- teristics of an RMS variation match the criteria of the bin, the counter is incremented. Certain types of phenomena are typically found in certain bin groupings such as: sags cleared by fuses versus sags cleared by breaker operations; versus sags caused by the starting of large horsepower motors; versus the swells caused by loads being turned off and the response time of the automatic tap changer. In the 3-D mag dur graph, it is a quick visual way to see what category most of the disturbances fall into. This helps determine the source of the disturbance. 4-6 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Views Page 4 RMS Mag/Dur View The RMS Magnitude-and-Duration graph is a plot of the magnitude of the event versus duration of the event with the time plotted on a logarithmic scale. A data point is plotted for each event and the graph is overlaid with equipment susceptible or safe-operating type curves, such as the ITIC curve or CBEMA. Events that fall between the two curves will not usually cause equipment to malfunction (equipment with a similar set of susceptibles to those used to develop the curve), whereas those outside the limits are likely to cause problems. 4-7 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Views Page 4 Smart Trend Smart Trend will display a timeline type graph for a large range of parameters, based on the type of DataNode and which parameters were saved for trending. After using the standard query to select the DataNodes and time/date range, a dis- play of all possible parameters that can be trended is shown. Clicking on a green check mark onscreen will trend that parameter for the selected phase and will also show a histogram of the different values with a cumulative probability line. Red X marks onscreen indicate that the particular parameter is not available for trending. See sample display screens below.

It explains how reports can be customized to suit the preference and needs of individual users. Reports Page The Reports home page shown below displays a list of the different Smart Reports, Standard Reports, and Answer Module reports that are available. If a 5560 DataNode is in use, the Quality of Supply Compliance smart report will also be included. Reports home page A Report differs from a View in couple of ways. If a report contains multiple sections then the report will contain a Table of Contents. The Table of Contents provides a summary of what is in the report, and it provides a quick method for get- ting to a particular section of the report thru a hyperlink. A sample Table of Contents can be found next page. The Reports do not allow for interactive functions, but they will always be printed in their original form. The Views should be used for interactive functions. 5-1 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Sample Table of Contents Smart Reports Voltage Quality Smart Reports provides several types of reports and The Voltage Quality Smart Report consists of a series of allows only minimal pre-filtering.

The table includes the following data: Entry Time - the time that the logged activity occurred. Entry - a name for the activity, such as "User login" or "DataNode added". User - identifies who carried out the activity. Source Name - the part of the system affected by the activity that could be the name of a user or a DataNode. Description - provides additional information about the entry. For example, if the Entry is "DataNode communi- cation OK", then the Description could be "System health is normal". 5-5 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Answer Module Some answer modules provide information via a separate report. Other answer modules may just add characteristics to the events that are displayed in the event summary table, such as direction of disturbance. Answer Modules that create a separate report will be covered in this section. RMS Variation Indices The query information required for the RMS Variation Indices is very similar to all other reports. First, select the DataNode of interest and then select the time range. The query setup for this report requires that two additional parame- ters be set. The query setup specific to this report is shown below. Setup Screen for RMS Variation Indices Report Monitoring Days Method Many of the EPRI RBM RMS variation indices provide frequency of occurrence information or rates of occurrence. The EPRI RBM technical report, TR-107938, discusses in detail the necessity of normalizing these rates based on the data upon which the indices are calculated. There are two normalization methods: “Estimated” and “None (No Normalization)”. Estimated The "Estimated" normalization method algorithm estimates the number of days a monitor is considered on-line by calcu- lating the number of days between the 'From' and 'To' dates specified on the Date and Time Selection of the report setup. None (No Normalization) The "No Normalization" method results in a count rather than a rate. Thus, all frequency of occurrence indices calculated using this normalization method are counts of all aggregate measurements occurring during the specified time period. Index Normalization Setup The Normalization Rate control designates the time period (number of day's data) to which the rate indices are normalized. If the Normalization Method control is set to “None”, there is no rate used so the Rate control is disabled. 5-6 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 see note below Sample RBM Sag Index Report This report is generated using the RBM Aggregation Parameters and the query information described above. For more information on the RBM Aggregation Parameters see page 7-26 of Chapter 7 Setup Page. The RBM Sag Index Report calculates the indices listed below for 90%, 80%, 70%, 50%, and 10% voltage thresholds. 5-7 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Aggregated Energy Expense The Aggregated Energy Expense features a query setup to enable users to generate a comparative expense report for different DataNodes. Data is only available when the Energy Usage Answer Module is installed. Setup screen for Aggregated Energy Expense Report Select the DataNodes to aggregate in the expense report under the DataNodes window. As with the other reports, specify the date and time range of interest. Click on the Compare button if you want to compare the total of the aggregated DataNodes to that of another DataNode. Click on the Aggregate Only button if you simply want to view the aggregate total. Select any Rate Structure that is enabled under the Setup Page, Answer Module - Energy Usage. See page 7-23 of Chapter 7 Setup Page for details on the Energy Usage - Rate Structures. If doing a comparison, select the desired DataNode under the Comparison DataNode window. NOTE: If a comparison is being performed, the comparison DataNode will not be included in the aggregation even if selected. 5-8 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 A sample Aggregated Energy Expense report is shown below. The report is divided into four sections: Energy Usage kWHr, Energy Usage kvarHr, Demand Max kW, and Expense Summary. Sample Aggregated Energy Expense Report 5-9 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Energy Expense The Energy Expense features a query setup to enable users to generate an expense report for each DataNode. Data is only available when the Energy Usage Answer Module is installed. Setup screen for Energy Expense Report Select the DataNode with which you want to generate an expense report. As with the other reports, specify the date and time range of interest. The user may choose to divide the time range into smaller increments under the Increment window.

See page 7-23 of Chapter 7 Setup Page for details on the Energy Usage - Rate Structures. 5-10 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 A sample Energy Expense report is shown below. The report is divided into four sections: Energy Usage kWHr, Energy Usage kvarHr, Demand Max kW, and Expense Summary. Sample Energy Expense Report 5-11 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Energy Usage Comparison Report The Energy Usage Comparison Report features a query setup to enable users to generate a comparative energy usage report for each DataNode. Data is only available when the Energy Usage Answer Module is installed. Setup screen for Energy Usage Comparison Report Select the DataNode with which you want to generate a comparative usage report. As with the other reports, specify the date and time range of interest. The user may choose to divide the time range into smaller increments under the Increment window. Then enter the reference period in which you want to compare the current usage against under the Start of Comparison Period. NOTE: If the reference period has more days than the current period, then it will be reduced to the number of days in the current period. The start time will remain as selected. 5-12 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 A sample Energy Usage Comparison report is shown below. The report is divided into three sections: Energy Usage kWHr, Energy Usage kvarHr, and Demand Max kW. Each section displays the current usage vis-a-vis the percent change from the refernce period for On Peak time, Partial Peak time, Off Peak time, and Total. A negative number indicates that the current usage is smaller than that of the reference period. Sample Energy Usage Comparison Report 5-13 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 UPS Verification Setup Screen for UPS Verification Report NOTE: SARFI - System Average RMS (Variation) Frequency Index SIARFI - System Instantaneous Average RMS (Variation) Frequency Index SMARFI - System Momentary Average RMS (Variation) Frequency Index STARFI - System Temporary Average RMS (Variation) Frequency Index This report has a different query setup than the standard query setup. This report is produced for defined instrument pairs. The instrument pairs were created under the Setup tab for the UPS Verification Answer Module. The query setup for the UPS Verification report is shown above. As with other reports, a date range or a start and end time need to be specified. However, for the UPS report instead of selecting an instrument, the user selects one or more instrument pairs. The purpose of the UPS Verification Answer Module is to verify that the UPS or another mitigation device is functioning properly. A UPS DataNode pair consists of a DataNode monitoring the input of the UPS and another DataNode monitoring the output of the UPS. This was designed to be done with DataNodes that support cross-triggering. If the UPS is functioning properly, the DataNode at the UPS output will only see cross-triggered events. If the DataNodes being used do not support cross-triggering, then no event should be seen on the output DataNode. However, without cross-triggering, the absence of an event is not conclusive. The status determined by the UPS Verification Answer Module may be one of the following: 5-14 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 PASS The UPS DataNode Pair has a status of PASS when an event is seen at the input DataNode, and only the cross-triggered event is seen on the output. The UPS has been determined to be functioning properly, as the disturbance on the input was not seen on the output. FAIL The UPS DataNode Pair has a status of FAIL when an event is seen at the input DataNode, and a disturbance event is also seen on the output DataNode within the time window defined at setup. The UPS has been determined to be not functioning properly. Indeterminate The UPS DataNode Pair has a status of Indeterminate when an event is seen at the input DataNode, and no event is seen on the output DataNode. The status is Indeterminate because no cross-triggered event was seen to verify that the output DataNode itself is functioning correctly. The report consists of a table with event summary information for both the input and output DataNodes of the UPS Pairs and status information. The report also contains a Mag/Dur plot with data from both DataNode marked separately. A sample report can be seen below. Sample UPS Verification Report 5-15 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Sample UPS Mag-Dur plot 5-16 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 Fault Location This report requires no additional query parameters. It allows for the selection of multiple DataNodes. The information required for this Answer Module can be seen in page 7-24 of Chapter 7 Setup Page. The module computes distance-to- fault for all possible balance and unbalance faults, i.e. three-phase fault; single-line-to-ground (SLG) fault of phases A, B, and C; double-line-to-ground (DLG) faults of phases AB, BC, and CA; and line-to-line-to-ground (LLG) of phases AB, BC, and CA. Thus, there are ten types of faults considered. The distance-to-faults are estimated using two different equations; therefore, there are two estimates (lower and upper) for each fault type. A sample report is shown below. Sample Radial Fault Report RBM (Reliability Benchmarking Methodology) The RBM Answer Module adds two reports. The first is the RBM RMS Variation Indices (see page 5-6 for description) and the second is the RBM Aggregated RMS Event List described next. 5-17 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Reports Page 5 RBM Aggregated RMS Event List This report is a table of RBM Aggregated Events for the specified DataNode and time range. The RBM Aggregation Parameters define how the events are aggregated. For more information on the RBM Aggregation Parameters refer to page 7-26 of Chapter 7 Setup Page. The query setup for this report is the standard report query information, and requires no additional parameters to be selected. More parameters such as type of aggregation and method are set up in the Setup tab. A sample report is shown below.

Through the different display options available, the users are able to view and capture DataNode information as it happens and when it happens on site. Real-time Page The Real-time page allows you to display the parameters being monitored by the DataNodes in a continually updated manner. The definition of "real-time" is dependent on the DataNode itself, as well as the communication propagation delays. Typically, the various parameter values are updated every couple of seconds. The data can be displayed in a variety of formats, including a tabular meter panel. The Real-time menu page appears as follows. Real-time home page Views Meter Dials The Meter Dials enable you to define the parameters and create dial-type readings of each enabled DataNode parameter. The readings are updated at approximately once per second. After selecting the parameters and creating the meter panel, the attributes of the meter panel can be changed by right- clicking the mouse button when the cursor is over the dial. Three categories can be selected: General (contains options for changing color of the background and the needle) Axis (contains options for changing min/max limits, label and line color, and text font) Set Points (contains options for changing color, value and active status) In the sample screens found next page, parameter values for a Service Entrance DataNode have been checked, after which the Create Meter Panel button was clicked. This resulted in the screen showing dial-type readings. Right-clicking on the dials shows Properties for General, Axis and Set Point options. A sample Set Point display screen also appears next page. For a 5560 DataNode, new parameters are defined to support real-time display of flicker measurements. These parame- ters are required to meet the specification of a flicker meter. See page 10-20 for more information. 6-1 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Real-time Page 6 click to display parameters in dial-type readings click to display the Set Point dialog box The following are the reference points when using the Set Point color drop down menus: The 1st set point color originates from the bottom (left of the dial), while the 2nd set point color applies from the 1st going clock- wise. The 4th set point color originates from the top (right of the dial), while the 3rd set point color applies from the 4th going coun- terclockwise. 6-2 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Real-time Page 6 Meter Panel The Meter Panel real time display consists of a table showing the parameters being measured by the DataNode for each of its channels.

When the InfoNode becomes full, it purges data in a first-in-first-out order. This feature allows you to prioritize the order in which data is purged. The number of days to keep data values are used to bias the purge time of each type of data respectively. In an InfoNode with sufficient storage, this results in the lifetime of one type of data being extended by the specified number of days relative to other data types. The InfoNode always purges old data when it needs space for new data. Consequently, the lifetime of data is only extended by the specified number of days when sufficient storage is available. The purge time for data is biased and stored when the data is saved. Changes to the bias values are not applied to previously stored data. The Data setup also allows you to remove data stored in the InfoNode. Select any one or a combination of DataNodes opposite Remove data from DataNodes. Specify the date and time range when you want the data removed from the DataNodes using Remove data at or later than or Remove data earlier than. Choose one or more data types to remove (Remove event data, Remove periodic data, Remove summary data). Once the data removal selection is specified, check the Enable data removal property and save the properties to start removing data. When data removal is in progress, all selection fields are disabled. You can stop data removal by clearing the Enable data removal property and saving the properties. Data removal can be a long process, particularly in a busy InfoNode with large amounts of data. Refresh the Data tab to see if data removal is complete. Data - General tab properties Storage Storage setup is related to how much memory Space to keep free (MB) to add other software modules in the future, and whether to Rebuild index or Rebuild query table to compact the memory. Log The Log setup allows you to specify the number of additional days to keep each log entry type (InfoNode activity, User activity, DataNode management, Alarms) before purging. This mechanism is the same as that used for handling other purgeable data in the InfoNode. Refer to Data setup for more information on purging data. Right-click on the Log setup tree item to access the Clear Log menu command. Selecting this command removes all log entries stored in the InfoNode. NOTE: Only Admin users can configure the log settings and delete log entries. 7-4 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Notifications The Notifications section is subdivided into Recipients and Senders. Notifications allow the system to automatically inform users about specific events related to every DataNode connected to the InfoNode. Notifications also inform users whether DataNode connection is lost or re-established, and when the InfoNode starts. Recipients Recipients define who will receive notifications. The General tab contains properties to indicate recipient notification status. Only those with Admin privileges may set whether to dispatch notifications or not. Users who access the InfoNode system as Guest, Viewer or Operator will find the General properties automatically disabled. They are not allowed to dispatch notifications nor change time settings when notifications will be sent to recipients. Notifications pending - a counter on the number of notifications that will be dispatched to recipients at specified time interval. The counter will reset to zero once the pending notifications are sent to recipients. The counter sets automatical- ly and is not user-programmable. Dispatch notifications - the enable/disable checkbox indicate whether recipients will receive/not receive notifications. Aggregation period (seconds) - the time interval upon which notifications are sent to recipients and updated. Notifications update is done every specified number of seconds (i.e. every 900 sec = 15 minutes). Recipients setup screen - General tab properties To Add/Delete Recipient names: · Right-click on the Recipient folder. The following options will appear: Add Recipient or Clear Notifications. · Click on Add Recipients if you want to add a name in the list of recipients.

These Recipients will receive notifications pertaining to specified events detected by the DataNode, provided the Administrator enabled/grant- ed Dispatch Notifications (see page 7-5). DataNode Recipients notification setup The Enable RMS Notification must be checked to allow the system to send RMS disturbance event notifications to recip- ients. Threshold properties for the different RMS Disturbance Categories have been set under the Basic Characterizer - RMS Disturbance Categories tab (see page 7-19). The Enable Category allows users to select which category they want to activate and, as per the RMS disturbance category definition on page 7-18, register as RMS event. This selective enabling process allows users more control over the event notifications they receive. DataNode RMS Disturbances event notification setup 7-9 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 The Enable Transient Notification must be checked to allow the system to send Transient disturbances event notifica- tions to recipients. Threshold properties for the different Transient Disturbance Categories have been set under the Basic Characterizer - Transient Disturbance Categories tab (see page 7-20). The Enable Category allows users to select which category they want to activate and, as per the transient disturbance category definition on page 7-20, register as transient event. This selective enabling process allows users more control over the event notifications they receive. DataNode Transient Disturbances event notification setup The Enable Threshold Crossing Notification must be checked to allow the system to send specified parameter threshold crossing notifications to recipients. The Threshold Registers lists the parameters available for which various threshold limits can be defined. Click on a parameter (i.e. Harmonic Voltage) and select the threshold limit/s (High-High, High, Normal, Low, Low-Low, Deadband) that you want enabled/disabled for that particular parameter. This means that once an enabled parameter has exceeded the threshold limit, an event will be registered. This selective enabling process allows users more control over the event notifications they receive and prevent the processing of unwanted data.

InfoNode Shutdown notification setup Start-up The InfoNode Recipients tab indicate the names of recipients who will receive notifications when the InfoNode starts up operation. See page 7-5 for the procedure on how to add/delete recipients. InfoNode Start-up notification setup 7-11 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Communications - The Communications data folder contains information on Internet Protocols and network settings. ADAM ADAM Instrument and Communications Handler Setup The ADAM handler supports the Advantech ADAM 4000 and 5000 series of distributed general purpose I/O modules. All input modules are supported through the ADAM instrument handler. Relay output functions for notifications are set as part of the communications handler. At this time only input modules are supported with the exception of the notifica- tion feature. Port Setup tab Select ADAM on the setup tree under the Communications branch. When selected, the following property page is dis- played. The Port Setup tab is used to Enable ADAM communications. The Enable control must be checked for any com- munications to ADAM modules to occur. All ADAM communications will occur on the indicated port. Set the COM Port that will be used for ADAM modules. Only one ADAM RS-485 and RS-232 network on one COM port is supported. Port Setup tab ADAM 4060 tab The ADAM 4060 relay contact closure module is used to signal notifications to a third-party system (i.e. SCADA, BMS-Building Management System, etc.) that can only accept relay contacts as input. This portion of the setup allows for global setup of the properties that will be common to all uses of the single 4060 allowed on the system. The Hex (Hexadecimal) Address property specifies the address of the 4060. The Contact Logic property allows specifica- tion of the logic "sense" of the messages to be sent. The default value of "Positive" (or Normally Open) means that a logical value of "1" is a closed contact and a logical "0" is an open contact. "Negative" (or Normally Closed) logic means the opposite: logical "1" is an open contact and logical "0" is closed. The Contact Pulse Time specifies how long the contacts should be actuated to signal the notification. See the ADAM 4060 tab setup screen on page 7-13. 7-12 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 ADAM 4060 tab Operation of the ADAM 4060 The ADAM communications handler is available to all parts of the InfoNode system through the Communications Manager. The handler is configured to use a specific serial port on the InfoNode. When a request for connection to an ADAM module is received, the handler attempts to open the specified port at 9600, 8, N, 1. Once a connection is made, the application may issue commands that send data to the 4060 based on the logic sense and contact pulse time parameters. The connection attempts to verify that the command is completed. If the module reports an error condition, the error condition is reported back as part of the function return. If positive or if no response is detected, the connection attempts to restore the relay state to ‘normal’, 0 for positive logic and 1 for negative. ADAM Instrument Handler Setup See Chapter 12 ADAM Handler Setup for a detailed discussion on how to set up the individual InfoNode ADAM instru- ment handler. Programming of individual modules are accomplished via switch settings on the modules themselves. Refer to the ADAM 4000 Series User’s Manual for more details on how to configure, set up and install the ADAM modules. The Windows driver and the Utility disk for the ADAM-4000 Series are shipped along with the ADAM 4000 Series User’s Manual, Copyright ©1997 Advantech Co., Ltd. The user’s manual can also be accessed online at http://service.advantech.com.tw/download/Files/1-A2XID/Adam-4000_ed7.pdf 7-13 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 WTI CAS-8 Code Activated Switch The Port Setup tab is used to enable/disable communications to a 5500 Series DataNode and/or GEKV DataNode. Check Enable to allow communications to the specified DataNode. All DataNode communications will occur on the indicated port. Set the COM Port that will be used for a specified DataNode. Only one RS-485 and RS-232 network on one COM port is supported. The Baud Rate refers to the speed in bits per second by which the COM port processes DataNode communications requests. COMS Port Setup tab 7-14 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 MMS MMS or Manufacturing Messaging Specification is where communications address settings for the InfoNode are config- ured. The MMS protocol is used for connections to UCA compliant devices such as the Signature System 5520, 5530 and 5560 DataNodes. The InfoNode also accepts incoming MMS connections for system discovery functions. MMS contains the following property settings: InfoNode NSAP refers to the OSI network address. This value is the equivalent of the IP address for the InfoNode or OSI networks. This value is not used and is removed as of firmware version 3.0.11. InfoNode PSEL stands for Presentation Selector with default value 00 00 00 01. InfoNode SSEL refers to Session Selector with default value 00 01. InfoNode TSEL means Transport Selector with default value 00 01. In general, you do not need to change the MMS settings from their default settings. The PSEL, SSEL, and TSEL values of the InfoNode must match those of the DataNode that the InfoNode communicates with. A mismatch results in “Connection Failures”. MMS General setup tab 7-15 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Network Network contains the properties that allow the InfoNode to link DataNodes and ADAM modules to its self-contained web server and user interface. It is possible to communicate with the InfoNode through either LAN or modem connec- tions. Each communication method requires specific configuration settings. In the ISP Setup screen below, the Network Setup features the settings required for the InfoNode to operate on the network. The Modem Setup and ISP Setup feature the settings required for dial-up networking and to establish interface links between the InfoNode and the computer’s modem. NET ISP Setup tab The InfoNode uses the PAP protocol for PPP dial-up connection authentication. This is a simple, unencrypted authentica- tion protocol. It is more secure than the standard web page authentication but less secure than an encryption based PPP authentication protocol. You must therefore use an ISP that supports PPP dial-up accounts that allow PAP authentication. Most ISPs permit PAP authentication. Windows 2000 server is used by some enterprises to provide remote access. Windows 2000 defaults to a very secure configuration and hence does not support PAP authentication by default. To enable PAP authentication on Windows 2000 server, there are several configuration options that must be set: · PAP must be enabled in the Routing and Remote Access Service management console for the RRAS server · PAP must be enabled in the RRAS policy object in the RRAS management console · Clear text authentication must be permitted in the RRAS policy object Only when PAP is enabled in all three places will a Windows 2000 RRAS server authenticate a PAP authenticated PPP login. In addition to this, you must specify the login ID in the InfoNode using DOMAIN\ UserID notation for PAP authenticated logins to a Windows 2000 RRAS server. This is described in the Microsoft Knowledge Base article at http://support.microsoft.com. 7-16 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Battery The InfoNode system allows users to check on the Battery status (whether charged or discharged) and the remaining Battery capacity. For convenience, the system allows users to keep date/time records when the Last discharge test was and when the Next discharge test will be. Time The InfoNode optionally provides for an on-board GPS receiver capable of receiving time signals from the GPS system and utilizing those signals to continuously update the system clock. If there is no GPS present or the GPS is present but a signal is not available, then you can specify whether the Time Manager uses the internal clock or an Internet clock source. To use the Internet clock source, you should specify the IP address of the NTP Server Host. A sample Time window screen appears as follows. Setup screen for Communications - Time Regional Settings Regional Settings allows you to use different formatting conventions found in different parts of the world. The following properties are found under the Date and Time tab. Select the applicable Time zone depending on your geo- graphic location. Enable/Disable the option to Adjust for daylight saving changes. Select your preferred date and time settings to include Date separator (/ or - or .), Date ordering (mm/dd/yy, dd/mm/yy, yy/mm/dd), Time separator (: or .), and Time format (12 versus 24 hour format). Under the Number tab, users can set the Measurement system using the U.S. system or the Metric system of measurement. 7-17 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Answer Module Answer Modules provide different types of reports that answer specific questions about data, such as whether the transient event was caused by a PF capacitor switching and whether the event occurred upstream or downstream from the monitoring point. The list of Answer Modules depends upon which optional modules were purchased and installed on the InfoNode. The minimum required InfoNode firmware version for the Graphical Interface Display (one-line) AnswerModule is V3.2. Basic Characterizer Enables automatic detection of voltage sags which are often the most common type of power disturbance. Once detected, the Answer Module characterizes the sag. This Answer Module is the general and/or basic characterizer of the data. It characterizes RMS events as sags, swells, or interruptions. This Answer Module characterizes data based upon categories. The default settings of the categories are based on IEEE 1159 guide for characterizing power quality events, and these default settings can be seen in the figure next page. The number in the magnitude column represents the range of values starting from that number up to but not including the number in the cell above it. For RMS Variations, the categories do not necessarily represent a continuum; they are simply numbers that represent non-overlapping rectangles in mag/dur space. The categories generally represent increased risk of equipment malfunc- tion. Note that Category 8 (swells) only stops at 125% for display purposes and in reality represents any swell greater than 105%. For Transient Variations, the categories represent a continuum of peak transient over voltage. Note that Category 7 only stops at 205% for display purposes and in reality represents any transient with a peak magnitude greater than 190%. Definition of RMS & Transient Disturbance Categories The user may modify the categories. The setup for this Answer Module allows the user to define the criteria for RMS and Transient Disturbance Categories. 7-18 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 RMS Disturbance Categories The user may define up to nine RMS disturbance categories using the threshold property settings found in the setup screen. Click on a desired category, then set the corresponding threshold property limit (see definitions of the threshold properties below). Assign different threshold settings for each category. Once the threshold limits are crossed and the Category Enabled box checked, the RMS disturbance category will be classified as an event. These pre-defined RMS disturbance event categories are then reported as signal notifications to recipients (see page 7-9). For example, in the RMS Disturbance Categories setup screen below, Category 1 was selected. Limit values for Category 1 were defined in the respective threshold property fields. The Category Enabled box has been checked to activate Category 1 as an event when threshold limits have been crossed. Setup screen for RMS Disturbance Categories For the selected category, the following fields need to be defined. Care should be taken so that categories do not overlap or that dead areas are created. Category Enabled For this to be a disturbance category it must be enabled. Check the box to activate or clear the box to deactivate. Minimum Magnitude The minimum magnitude is defined as a percent of normal that defines this category. Maximum Magnitude The maximum magnitude is defined as percent of normal that defines this category. Minimum Time The minimum duration is the minimum amount of time that the magnitude must be sustained. Maximum Time The maximum duration is the maximum amount of time that the magnitude can be sustained. Category Name The category name describes the defined category, and will appear in the characteristics field in Event Summaries and Notifications. 7-19 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Transient Disturbance Categories The user may define up to nine Transient disturbance categories using the threshold property settings found in the setup screen. Click on a desired category, then set the corresponding threshold property limit (see definitions of the threshold properties below). Assign different threshold limits for each category. Once the threshold limits are crossed and the Category Enabled box checked, the Transient disturbance category will be classified as an event. These pre-defined Transient disturbance event categories are then reported as signal notifications to recipients (see page 7-10). For example, in the Transient Disturbance Categories setup screen below, Category 2 was selected. Limit values for Category 2 were defined in the respective threshold property fields. The Category Enabled box has been checked to acti- vate Category 2 as an event when threshold limits have been crossed. Setup screen for Transient Disturbance Categories Category Enabled For this to be a disturbance category it must be enabled. Check the box to activate or clear the box to deactivate. Minimum Magnitude The minimum magnitude is defined as a percent of normal that defines this category. Maximum Magnitude The maximum magnitude is defined as percent of normal that defines this category. Category Name The category name describes the defined category. EN50160 EN50160 is a European product standard for voltage characteristics in public distribution networks. The EN50160 requires a 5560 QOS (Quality of Supply) DataNode for data acquisition. As per EN50160, the QOS compliance evalua- tion period is one week, beginning at midnight on Sunday. These can be altered using the EN50160 setup properties, however the system would no longer be calculating the information in strict compliance with the standard. The EN50160 Setup properties include Start day and Start time, where users can program their preferred day and time when they want the evaluation period to commence. Users can also set the Length of the evaluation period in days, weeks, or months. Refer to Chapter 10 5560 QOS for more discussion on the 5560 DataNode. 7-20 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Energy Usage The Signature System InfoNode provides users the ability to track power flow and generate reports for the purpose of monitoring energy usage and expense. The setup necessary for the expense reports has three sections, namely Peak Time, DataNode, and Rate Structures. See page 5-8 of Chapter 5 Reports Page for details on the energy expense and usage reports. NOTE: Utility rate structures are very complex and vary greatly. Therefore, the Energy Usage Answer Module is not intended to completely replicate your utility bill and is intended for comparison only. Peak Time Reducing consumption during peak times or shifting loads to off-peak times amounts to significant savings on energy costs. Energy providers typically charge different rates for energy consumption during peak time and energy consump- tion during off-peak times. The setup for peak time is described below. Setup screen for Energy Usage - Peak Time Under Peak Time or Partial Peak Time category, select the desired day (for bank select click+shift) and check the Include Day box to enable time settings. Clear the box to disable the selected days. Start Time Start time refers to when the peak time begins. End Time End Time refers to when the peak time ends. 7-21 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 DataNodes The screen below enables users to select the DataNode site where they are monitoring energy consumption. The user may specify the square footage that each DataNode is monitoring. This will allow the user to view energy expense on per square foot basis. The setup required for the DataNodes can be seen below. Setup screen for Energy Usage - DataNodes Square Footage Select the desired DataNode and enter the square footage that the DataNode is monitoring. 7-22 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 Rate Structures The user may define up to twenty different rate structures. The user-defined rate structures allow users to produce energy expense reports that accurately reflect the charges being applied by a respective energy provider. The setups required are discussed below. Setup screen for Energy Usage - Rate Structures Enable Rate Structure For the rate structure to be available in the energy expense reports, it must be enabled. Check the box to activate or clear the box to deactivate. Rate Structure Name The name used to describe the rate structure. This name will be displayed in the list for selecting a rate structure. On-peak energy consumption $/kWHr The cost of energy consumption, measured in kWHr, during the peak time. Off-peak energy consumption $/kWHr The cost of energy consumption, measured in kWHr, during the off-peak time. On-peak power consumption $/kW The penalty charged for the maximum demand (kW) that occurred during peak time over the billing period. Off-peak power consumption $/kW The penalty charged for the maximum demand (kW) that occurred during off-peak time over the billing period. On-peak energy consumption $/kvarHr The cost of energy consumption, measured in kvarHr, during the peak time. Off-peak energy consumption $/kvarHr The cost of energy consumption, measured in kvarHr, during the off-peak time. Tax Rate The tax applied on billings. 7-23 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 kvar Change Observer The kvar Change Observer Answer Module is for substation applications only. The Answer Module is an add-on to the PF Capacitor switching module and determines if the kvar change is balanced or unbalanced. The setup required for this Answer Module is described below. Setup screen for kvar Change Observer Activate kvar Change Observer Check the box to activate or clear the box to deactivate. kvar balance threshold between phase If the difference between the phases is greater than the set threshold, the kvar change is unbalanced. Radial Fault Location Identifies the source of radial line faults as they occur. The Radial Fault Location estimates the distance to a fault loca- tion, allowing a quick dispatch of linemen for repairs, reducing the time for locating problem source. Required input data are the three phase voltage and current waveforms along with the positive and zero sequence impedance of the primary feeder. An optional input datum is the feeder length. The setup screen can be seen below. Setup screen for Radial Fault Location Activate Answer Module Check the box to activate or clear the box to deactivate.

The setup for this Answer Module consists of setting up aggregation parameters. At different times it may be necessary to either break apart measurements into measurement components or combine them through aggregation. The setup required for aggregation can be seen below. Setup screen for RBM Aggregation Parameters Characterization Level · Phase Aggregation The most basic of the three aggregation levels is phase aggregation. This characterizes the data in such a way that all of the phases are analyzed. Measurement components are the constituent recordings of a three-phase measurement. By definition, measurement components are single-phase. The process of phase aggregation entails finding the worst-case of a series of measurement components associated with a single phase or channel. · Measurement Aggregation Measurement aggregation represents all of the data from all phases of a measurement by the characteristics of the worst- case phase. An event determined by measurement aggregation is a combination of measurement components. · Temporal Aggregation The goal of temporal aggregation is to collect all measurements taken by a monitoring instrument or instruments that were due to the same power system occurrence, and identify them as one event. Aggregation Time This control specifies the width of the temporal aggregation window (in seconds). Selecting one of the pre-defined inter- vals from the drop-down list sets the aggregation window. Aggregation Window Type · Fixed When a "Fixed" aggregation window type is specified, the length of the aggregation window is fixed by the aggregation time. Thus, all measurements occurring within the specified number of seconds are aggregated. · Variable When a "Variable" aggregation window is specified, the length of the aggregation window is not fixed and is determined by how closely the events occur to each other in time. Worst Case Method The Worst Case Method control allows the user to specify which measurement component characteristics are used to represent the aggregated measurement. A popular method of performing phase aggregation is by finding the "worst-case" measurement component from the measurement components associated with that phase. · Max V Deviation Using this method, the component exhibiting the maximum deviation from nominal voltage is used to represent the aggregate measurement. Thus, the sag or swell that deviates the farthest in absolute value from nominal voltage (1.0 per unit) is selected. 7-26 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Setup Page 7 · Max Area Using this method, the component exhibiting the maximum product of voltage deviation and duration from within tolerance is used to represent the aggregate measurement. Thus, the sag or swell that has the largest volt-seconds area deviation from nominal voltage is selected. · Min V Using this method, the component exhibiting the minimum voltage is used to represent the aggregate measurement. Thus, the largest sag is selected. · Max V Using this method, the component exhibiting the maximum voltage is used to represent the aggregate measurement. Thus, the largest swell is selected. UPS Verification The UPS Verification Answer Module verifies the operation of a UPS or another mitigation device. This requires setting pairs of DataNodes for monitoring the UPS. A DataNode is installed at the input and output of the UPS. This Answer Module allows for creating up to five UPS DataNode pairs. The setup screen can be seen below. Setup screen for UPS Verification UPS Pair Name This is a descriptive name for the DataNode pair monitoring the UPS. UPS Input DataNode Select the DataNode monitoring the UPS input from the list of available DataNodes. Selecting "Not Set" deactivates this pair for the Answer Module. UPS Output DataNode Select the DataNode monitoring the UPS output from the list of available DataNodes. Selecting "Not Set" deactivates this pair for the Answer Module. Delta (sec) for time synchronization The delta between the input event time and the output event time allowed for it to be considered the same event.

Thus, under Real-time page, new channels are defined to support real-time display of flicker measurements. Flicker is the effect on the visual human perception by a changing emission of light by lamps subjected to fluctuations of their supply voltage. Voltage fluctuations consist of a sequence of rapid voltage changes, spaced in time close enough to stimulate the response of the eye-brain is defined as flicker. As the annoyance created by flicker is a function of both the intensity of Flicker and the duration of exposure, the severity of the disturbance is described by two parameters: the short term severity (Pst) and the long term severity (Plt). Values for the flicker parameter include the Pst of last complete interval, Plt of last complete interval, Plt calculated using a sliding interval, maximum instantaneous P (Max. Pinst), LPF of Pinst, the square root of Pinst, and LPF of the square root of Pinst. These values are included in the channel selection when configuringthe jpurnal recordings (see Flicker Setup Tab on page 10-41). Note that only channels for which flicker data is present in the system are included in the selection. A sample real time display parameter screen is shown below.

Programming of individual modules are accomplished via switch settings on the modules themselves. This handler supports both the 4000 and 5000 series modules from Advantech. The 4000 series consists of stand alone modules, where each module is assigned a unique RS-485 address between 1 and 254. The 5000 series uses a single chassis to hold 4 or 8 modules. The chassis is assigned a single RS-485 address and the individual modules are addressed by slot number within the chassis. Note that the ADAM 5000 chasis can communicate with the InfoNode via RS-485 (requires external adaptor) or RS-232. ADAM Module Connection Setup The following are required to setup and configure an ADAM environment: ADAM Modules A host computer, such as an IBM PC/AT, that can output ASCII characters with an RS-232 or RS485 port Power supply for the ADAM Modules (+10 and +30 VDC) ADAM Series Utility software ADAM Isolated RS-232/RS-485 Converter (optional) ADAM Repeater (optional) Host Computer: Any computer or terminal that can output in ASCII format over either RS-232 or RS-485 can be con- nected as the host computer. When only RS-232 is available, an ADAM RS-232/RS-485 Converter is required to trans- form the host signals to the correct RS-485 protocol. Since this module is not addressable by the host, the baud rate must be set using a switch inside the module. The factory default setting is 9600 baud. The converter also provides opto-isola- tion and transformer-based isolation to protect your equipment. Power Supply: ADAM Module operation is guaranteed when using any power supply between +10 and +30 VDC. All power supply specifications are referenced at module connector. When modules are powered remotely, the effects of line voltage drops must be considered. All modules use on-board switching regulators to sustain good efficiency over the +10 and +30 V input range, therefore we can assume that the actual current draw is inversely proportional to the line voltage. Select power cables according to the number of modules connected and the length of the power lines. Generic Connections for the 4000 Series ADAM Module 12-1 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 ADAM Utility Software: A menu-driven program is provided for ADAM Module configuration, monitoring and calibra- tion. Dranetz-BMI ships ADAM Modules with the necessary Windows driver and the Utility software disk. ADAM Repeater: When communication lines exceed 4,000 ft (1200 meter) or the number of ADAM modules connected is more than 32, a repeater should be connected to expand the first segment. Up to 8 Repeater modules can be connected allowing connection of up to 256 ADAM modules. 4080 M odule 4522 M odule 300 Ω 200 Ω ADAM 4080 Module to KYZ Box Connection For more information on ADAM Module setup, installation and configuration: Refer to the ADAM 4000 Series User’s Manual for more details on how to configure, set up and install the ADAM mod- ules. The Windows driver and the Utility disk for the ADAM-4000 Series are shipped along with the ADAM 4000 Series User’s Manual, Copyright ©1997 Advantech Co., Ltd. The user’s manual can also be accessed online at http://service.advantech.com.tw/download/Files/1-A2XID/Adam-4000_ed7.pdf 12-2 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 ADAM 4060 Contact Closure Module Setup The ADAM 4060 relay contact closure module is used to signal notifications to designated recipients. Data for the ADAM modules may be configured in various format, one of which is the hexadecimal format. The procedure below describes how to set up the optional ADAM contact module to relay notifications from DualNode 5593 to the designated recipient. NOTE: Only those with admin privileges may set whether to dispatch notifications or not. Users who access the InfoNode system as Guest, Viewer or Operator are not allowed to dispatch notifications nor change time settings when notifications will be sent to recipients. 1. The RS232 cable between COM1 on the DualNode 5593T and the ADAM 232 to 485 converter is wired 'straight' (as in Dranetz-BMI 8010 PQNode) i.e. not null Modem. 2. There is no need to set up an ADAM 4060 or 5060 DataNode. It is just an alarm feature programmed in the Recipients section. 3. Using the setup functions under Setup Page, set the unit up as a recipient. Recipients determine who will receive notifications. 4. Enable the Dispatch Notifications field in the Recipients setup screen. Go to Setup Page - Notifications > Recipients > General tab. See page 7-5 for more information on the Recipients - General properties tab. 12-3 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 5. The Hex value in the ADAM 4060 tab, under the ADAM folder, is the given HEX value of the particular 4060 viz 01. Go to Setup Page - Communications > ADAM > ADAM 4060 tab. See pages 7-12 to 7-13 for more information on the Communications - ADAM 4060 properties tab. 6. The relay (1-4) HEX address is different. It is chosen from the drop down box in the recipient section. For example, Relay 1 is 0001 and is HEX 01; Relay 4 is 1000 and is HEX 8. Go to Setup Page - Notifications > Recipients > ADAM 4060 tab. See page 7-6 for more information on the Recipient - ADAM 4060 notification setup screen. NOTE: It takes approximately 4 seconds for a test transmission to close the relay and around 3.5 minutes for a rms sag to be alarmed. 12-4 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 Signature System supports a wide variety of ADAM modules to fit any applications. See page 12-6 for the list of avail- able modules supported by the Signature System. Right-click on the ADAM Module folder and click on Add DataNode to add your particular ADAM module. Select the ADAM DataNode site name type and your work space area will be dis- played on the right frame. Polling rate for ADAM modules typically last from 2 to 5 seconds (not a guaranteed rate). Use the tabs across the bottom of the page to select the appropriate group of programmable features. The parameters avail- able in each tab are discussed in detail in the next section. 1. General tab The General tab is common with all other Instrument Handler Setup tabs. It contains ADAM DataNode specific status information. IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION includes the name and description that users can assign to the ADAM DataNode. Simply click on the Name or Description value field to type in the space provided. The Name property is used to identi- fy the instrument within the InfoNode and when data is downloaded from the InfoNode. The Description field allows a longer more meaningful description string to be associated with the instrument. The Serial Number and Version of the DataNode hardware are not available and will show as ‘None’. The InfoNode supplies this information after establishing communications with the instrument. This instrument-specific information is available only for viewing and cannot be changed from the InfoNode. STATUS INFORMATION properties include the Active checkbox that indicates when the instrument should be online and available for communications and download. The Get settings from DataNode on activation property is not avail- able for ADAM modules. The InfoNode records the date and time of Last contact with the instrument. It also indicates Health status, whether the system is functioning normally or not. Both information are set by default and cannot be changed by users. The InfoNode supplies both contact and health information after establishing communications with the instrument. 12-5 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 2. Basic tab The Basic Tab is used to select a module type and set the Module address. The following ADAM modules are supported: 4000 Series 4017 8 Channel Analog Input 4018 8 Channel Thermocouple/General Analog Input 4018M 8 Channel Thermocouple/General Analog Input with memory 4050 7 Channel Digital Input/8 Channel Digital Output (Output not supported) 4052 8 Channel Digital Input (6 differential, 2 single ended) 4053 16 Channel Digital Input 4080 2 Channel Counter/Frequency Module (up/down counter mode only) 5000 Series 5000 4 Slot Chassis 5000E 8 Slot Chassis 5017 8 Channel Analog Input 5018 7 Channel Thermocouple/General Analog Input 5050 16 Channel Digital Input/Output (Output not supported) 5051 16 Channel Digital Input/Output 5052 8 Channel Isolated Digital Input 5080 4 Channel Counter/Frequency Module (up/down counter mode only) The ADAM Module dropdown property allows selection of the desired module from the available module types. The Module Address property is used to specify the RS-485 address where ADAM 4000 series modules will be found. For ADAM 5000 series modules, this is the address of the 5000 or 5000e chassis. The 5000 Series Slot Number is used to indicate the position of the module in the chassis. Positions start at 0. 12-6 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 3. Module tab Once the Module type has been selected, the remaining tabs apply to the specific Module selected. The Module tab is module-specific and tabs vary depending on module type. 12-7 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 4. Channel tab (for Thermocouple/General Analog Input Modules - ADAM 4018, 5018) When a general purpose analog input module or thermocouple module with voltage or current range is selected the Channel Tab contains the following properties. The tab shows each channel available for the selected module and range. The channels are labeled Channel 0 through Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the parameters for that channel. The Enable property signals that the selected channel is to be monitored and stored. The Channel Name property is used to label and select this channel in other interfaces in the InfoNode. Any arbitrary name with up to 80 characters can be specified . The Quantity Measured, Characteristic and Units properties are used to define the channel type in the InfoNode data- base. An example might be Voltage (Quantity Measured), Instantaneous Sampled (Characteristic), and Volts (Units). The Channel Scale property specifies the number used to scale the value read from the ADAM Module. This depends on the transducers that are measuring the real signal. For instance, a speed sensor might output 1 Volt per 50 rpm which would give a Channel Scale of 50. The Channel Offset property allows an offset to be applied to the signal measured from ADAM module. This must be specified in scaled units. If a pressure transducer were to output 0 volts at 1000 mbar and you desire a reading of 1000 mbar, specify 1000 for the offset assuming the appropriate scale was specified in the Channel Scale to convert input sig- nal to mbar. The Averaging Interval property is used to tell the system how often to store values for this unit. The signals are sam- pled as quickly as the system can depending upon the number of instruments attached. The data is aggregated into mini- mum, maximum and average values over the averaging period and stored at the end of the interval. 12-8 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 5. Channel tab (for General Digital Input Modules - ADAM 4050/4052, 5050/5052) The tab shows each channel available for the selected module. The channels are labeled Channel 0 through Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the parameters for that channel. Note that while the channels on the ADAM units begin numbering at 0, the channel numbering here begins at 1. Input 0 maps to channel 1, input 1 maps to channel 2, etc. The Enable property signals that this channel is to be monitored and stored. When the channel is enabled, a steady state trend entry is made at every transition from low to high or high to low. The Channel Name property is used to label and select this channel in other interfaces of the InfoNode. Any arbitrary name with up to 80 characters can be specified . The Hi to lo transition trigger property when checked will cause an event to be generated whenever the signal transi- tions from a logical 1 to a logical 0. The Lo to hi transition trigger property when checked will cause an event to be generated whenever the input signal transitions from a logical 0 to logical 1. 12-9 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 6. Channel tab (for Counter Input Modules - ADAM 4080, 5080) The tab shows each channel available for the selected module and range. The channels are labeled Channel 0 through Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the parameters for that channel. The Enable property signals that the selected channel is to be monitored and stored. The Channel Name property is used to label and select the channel in other interfaces of the InfoNode. Any arbitrary name with up to 80 characters can be specified. The Data Recording Type property specifies how the data is to be stored. Data storage options are either Interval or Accumulator. For Interval data, the value of the counter at the beginning of the sampling interval is subtracted from the value of the counter at the end of the interval. For Accumulator data, accumulated value of the counter is stored. The Quantity Measured, Characteristic and Units properties are used to define the channel type in the InfoNode data- base. Selection from these characteristics allows the InfoNode to group the channel with appropriate channels during selection, and allow some reports to include the signals measured in more meaningful ways. Sample input values are Voltage (for Quantity Measured), Instantaneous Sampled (for Characteristic), and Volts (for Units). The Channel Scale property specifies the number used to scale the value read from the ADAM unit to the value you wish to record. This depends on the transducers that are measuring the real signal. For instance, a flow sensor might out- put 5 counts per liter. If the unit of measure is in liters, the scale would be 1/5 or 0.20. The Channel Offset property allows an offset to be applied to the signal measured from ADAM module. This must be specified in scaled units. If a pressure transducer were to output 0 volts at 1000 mbar and you desire a reading of 1000 mbar, specify 1000 for the offset assuming the appropriate scale was specified in the Channel Scale to convert input sig- nal to mbar. The Averaging Interval property indicates how often the value should be saved. The values are read as fast as possible to allow trigger checking as specified on the Advanced tab. 12-10 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 7. Advanced tab The Advance tab is available for all analog and counter modules. It allows the specification of threshold limits for the input channels. The tab shows each channel available for the selected module and range. The channels are labeled Channel 0 through Channel n where n is the number of channels available. By selecting one of the entries in the list, you will be setting the thresholds for that channel. There are 4 threshold settings available. These are used to specify the four available threshold trigger levels: Low-Low, Low, High and High-High. Each threshold can be independently enabled and set. 12-11 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide ADAM Handler Setup 12 This page intentionally left blank. 12-12 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Optional Accessories 13 Optional Accessories The following optional accessories are available to enhance the functions and capabilities of the InfoNode on PC.

The Signature System is con- figurable to work with most popular network addressing schemes, including Classes A, B, and C. Most com- pany local area networks or LANs utilize the Class C addressing scheme. Class C is also well suited for small stand-alone networks. For these reasons, the factory default and the shipped network settings of the Signature System makes use of the Class C addressing scheme. For proper operation, the addressing scheme of the Signature System devices must match the addressing scheme of the network to which they are connected. For example, you cannot mix Class C and Class B hosts on the same physical network. Description of Networking Classes IP Addressing An IP address is a 32-bit number, usually represented in a dotted decimal notation (i.e. 146.34.47.24), which uniquely identifies every host connected to an internet network. Each field between the periods is an 8-bit number (called an octet), with values between 0 and 255. The numbers 0, 127, and 255, however, have special meanings when they appear. For an unknown address, Zeros are used, i.e. when a machine is requesting that a server assign to it an IP address. When a machine refers to its own address, 127 is used. The terminology for this is loopback. To broadcast a packet to every host on a local network, the value 255 is used. Hosts use these addresses to send each IP packet along to its final destination. Routing is the process of deciding how a particular packet travels to its final destination. There are several classes of IP addresses as defined by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force): Class A - very large networks Class B - large networks Class C - small networks Class D - multicast Class E - reserved future use There are two parts to an IP address. Where the division takes place depends on the network class. The first part of the address is the network address; the remaining part is the host address. A-6 Signature System InfoNode on PC User’s Guide Appendix E Class A Class A is for very large networks. The first octet is of the form 0xxxxxxx, which means it can range from 1 to 126. Networks of this type use only the first octet as the network address. This means there can only be 126 Class A Networks. The remaining portion, the next 3 octets or 24 bits, form the host address. This allows 16,194,277 computers on a Class A network. An example of a Class A IP Address is 10.0.0.0, with a Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0. Class B Class B is for large networks. It is common for universities to have Class B addresses assigned to them. The first octet has the form 10xxxxxx, which can range from 128 to 191. The definition of network address for Class B is the first two octets, which allows 16,382 Class B networks. The last two octets form the host address, allowing 64,009 hosts (remember that 0, 127, and 255 cannot be used) on each Class B network. An example of a Class B IP Address is 129.10.0.0, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. Class C Class C is for small networks, where the first octet is of the form 110xxxxx, which can range from 192 to 223. The network address consists of the first three octets, allowing 1,984,279 different Class C networks with only 253 hosts per network. An example of a Class C IP Address is 192.168.1.0, with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. Other Classes The IP specification states that addresses whose first octet have the form 111xxxxx are 'extended' addresses, reserved for future use. Since the first three classes were defined, Class D, Multicast, was added to the list. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private networks: Class A 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) Class B 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) Class C 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) Note that by definition, these test network addresses are not routable on the Internet.
