The circuit monitor is a multifunction, digital instrumentation, data acquisition and control device. It can replace a variety of meters, relays, transducers and other components. The circuit monitor can be located at the service entrance to monitor the cost and quality of power, and can be used to evaluate the utility service. When located at equipment mains, the circuit monitor can detect voltage-based disturbances that cause costly equipment downtime.

The circuit monitor is equipped with

RS-485 and RS-232 communications for

integration into any power monitoring and control system. However, System Manager™ software (

SMS)fromPOWERLOGIC, which is written specifically

for power monitoring and control, best supports the circuit monitor’s advanced features.

The circuit monitor is a true rms meter capable of exceptionally accurate measurement of highly nonlinear loads. A sophisticated sampling technique enables accurate, true rms measurement through the 255th harmonic. You can view over 50 metered values plus extensive minimum and maximum data from the display or remotely using software. Table 1–1 summarizes the readings available from the circuit monitor.

63230-300-212 Chapter 1—Introduction April 2 001 What is the Circuit Monitor?

Accessories and Options for the Circuit Monitor

The circuit monitor has a modular design to maximize its usability. In addition to the main meter, the circuit monitor has plug-on modules and accessories, including:

• Current/voltage module (CVM). A standard part of the circuit monitor is

the current/voltage module where all metering data acquisition occurs.

• Remote display . The optional remote 4-line display is available with a

back-lit liquid crystal display (LCD) or a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). The VFD model includes an infrared port that can be used to communicate directly with the circuit monitor from a laptop and can be used to download firmware, which keeps the circuit monitor up to date with the latest system enhancements.

• I/O Extender. The I/O extender, located on the side of the circuit monitor,

enables you to “plug in” up to 8 industry-standard inputs and outputs. Several preconfigured combinations are available, or you can create a custom configuration.

• Digital I/O Card. You can further expand the I/O capabilities of the circuit

monitor by adding a digital I/O card (4 inputs and 4 outputs). This card fits into one of the option slots on the top of the circuit monitor.

• Ethernet Communications Card. The Ethernet communications card

provides an Ethernet port that accepts a 100 Mbps fiber optic cable or a 10/100 Mbps UTP and provides an RS-485 master port to extend the circuit monitor communications options. This card is easily installed into option slot A on the top of the circuit monitor.

Table 1–2 lists the circuit monitor parts and accessories and their associated instruction bulletins.

Setting Up Alarms

This section describes how to setup alarms and create your own custom alarms. For a detailed description of alarm capabilities, see Chapter 6— Alarms on page 83. The circuit monitor can detect over 100 alarm conditions, including over/under conditions, status input changes, phase unbalance conditions, and more. Some alarms are preconfigured and enabled at the factory. See “Factory Defaults” on page 11 in Chapter 3— Getting Started of the installation manual for information about preconfigured alarms. You can edit the parameters of any preconfigured alarm from the display.

For each alarm that you set up, do the following:

• Select the alarm group that defines the type of alarm:

—

Standard speed

alarms have a detection rate of one second and are useful for detecting conditions such as over current and under voltage. Up to 80 alarms can be set up in this group.

—

High speed

alarms have a detection rate of 100 milliseconds and are useful for detecting voltage sags and swells that last a few cycles. Up to 20 alarms can be set up in this group.

—

Disturbance monitoring

alarms have a detection rate of one cycle and are useful for detecting voltage sags and swells. Up to 20 alarms can be set up in this group.

—

Digital

alarms are triggered by an exception such as the transition of a status input or the end of an incremental energy interval. Up to 40 alarms can be set up in this group.

—

Boolean

alarms have a detection rate of the alarms used as inputs. They are used to combine specific alarms into summary alarm information.

• Select the alarm that you want to configure. Keep the default name or enter a new name with up to 15 characters.

• Enable the alarm.

• Assign a priority to the alarm. Refer to “Viewing Alarms” on page 41 for

information about the alarm priority levels.

• Define any required pickup and dropout setpoints, and pickup and dropout time delays (for standard, high speed, and disturbance alarm groups only, refer to “Setpoint-Driven Alarms” on page 85 in Chapter 6—Alarms).

Page 31

63230-300-212 Chapter 3—Operation April 2 001 Configuring the Circuit Monitor Using The Setup Menu

Creating a New Custom Alarm

In addition to editing an alarm, you can also create new custom alarms by performing two steps:

1. Create the custom alarm.

2. Setup and enable the new alarm.

To use custom alarms, you must first create a custom alarm and then set up the alarm to be used by the circuit monitor. Creating an alarm defines information about the alarm including:

• Alarm group (standard, high speed, disturbance, digital, or boolean)

• Name of the alarm

• Type (such as whether it alarms on an over or under condition)

• Register number of the value that will be alarmed upon

To create an alarm, follow these steps:

1. From the Main Menu, select Setup > Alarm > Create Custom. The Create Custom screen displays.

CREATE CUSTOM

Standard 1 sec High Speed 100ms Disturbance <1cycle Digital Boolean

2. Select the Alarm Group for the alarm that you are creating:

• Standard—detection rate of 1 second

• High Speed—detection rate of 100 millisecond

• Disturbance—detection rate of less than 1 cycle

• Digital—triggered by an exception such as a status input or the end of

an interval

• Boolean—triggered by condition of alarms used as inputs The Select Position screen displays and jumps to the first open position

in the alarm list.

Advanced Setup Features

Creating Custom Quantities to be Displayed

The features discussed in this section are not required for basic circuit monitor setup, but can be used to customize your circuit monitor to suit your needs.

Any quantity that is stored in a register in the circuit monitor can be displayed on the remote display. The circuit monitor has a list of viewable quantities already defined such as average current, power factor total, and so forth. In addition to these predefined values, you can define custom quantities that can be displayed on a custom screen. For example, if your facility uses different types of utility services such as water, gas, and steam, you may want to track usage of the three services on oneconvenient screen. To dothis, you could set up inputs to receive pulses from each utility meter, then display the scaled register quantity.

For the circuit monitor display, custom quantities can be used to display a value. Don’t confuse this feature with quantities are used to add new parameters which functions. new into

• Voltage connection Van(4-wire) or Vab(3-wire) is correct. This connection must be properly wired for the wiring check program to work.

• 3-phase system. The system must be a 3-phase system. You cannot perform a wiring check on a single-phase system.

• System type. The wiring check can be performed only on the six possible system types: 3∅3W2CT, 3∅3W3CT, 3∅4W3CT, 3∅4W4CT, 3∅4W3CT2PT, and 3∅4W4CT2PT (see Table 5–2 on page 38 of the installation manual for a description of system types).

• Expected displacement power factor is between .60 lagging and .99 leading.

• The load must be at least 1% of the CT Primary setting.

This wiring error program is based on the assumptions above and based on a typical wiring system, results may vary depending on your system and some errors may not apply to your system. When the wiring test is run, the program performs the following checks in this order:

1. Verifies that the system type is one of those listed above.

2. Verifies that the frequency is within ±5% of the frequency that you

selected in circuit monitor set up.

3. Verifies that the voltage phase angles are 120° apart. If the voltage

connections are correct, the phase angles will be 120° apart. If the voltage connections are correct, the test continues.

4. Verifies that the measured phase rotation is the same as the phase

rotation set up in the circuit monitor.

5. Verifies the magnitude of the currents to see if there is enough load on

each phase input to perform the check.

6. Indicates if the 3-phase real power (kW) total is negative, which could

indicate a possible wiring error.

7. Compares each current angle to its respective voltage.

Running t he Diagnostics Wiring Error Test

When the circuit monitor detects a possible error, you can find and correct the problem and then run the check again. Repeat the procedure until no error messages are displayed. To perform a wiring diagnostic test, follow these steps:

1. From the Main Menu, select Diagnostics.

MIN/MAX VALUES FOR REAL-TIME READINGS

When any one-second real-time reading reaches its highest or lowest value, the circuit monitor saves the value in its nonvolatile memory. These values are called the minimum and maximum (min/max) values. Two logs are associated with min/max values. The Min/Max Log stores the minimum and maximum values since the last reset of the min/max values. The other log, the Interval Min/Max/Average Log, determines min/max values over a specified interval and records the minimum, maximum, and average values for pre-defined quantities over that specified interval. For example, the circuit monitor could record the min, max, and average every 1440 minutes (total minutes in a day) to record the daily value of quantities such as kW demand. See Chapter 7—Logging on page 99 for more about the Min/Max/Average log.

From the circuit monitor display you can:

• View all min/max values since the last reset and view their associated dates and times. See “Viewing Minimum and Maximum Values from the Min/Max Menu” on page 39 for instructions.

• Resetmin/maxvalues.See“Resetting Min/Max, Demand, and Energy Values” on page 37 for reset instructions.

Using

SMS you can also upload both onboard logs—and their associated

dates and times—from the circuit monitor and save them to disk. For

instructions on working with logs using SMS, refer to the SMS online help file included with the software.

Power Factor Min/Max Conventions

All running min/max values, except for power factor, are arithmetic minimum and maximum values. For example, the minimum phase A–Bvoltageisthe lowest value in the range 0 to 1200 kV that has occurred since the min/max values were last reset. In contrast, because the power factor’s midpoint is unity (equal to one), the power factor min/max values are not true arithmetic minimums and maximums. Instead, the minimum value represents the measurement closest to –0 on a continuous scale for all real-time readings –0 to 1.00 to +0. The maximum value is the measurement closest to+0onthesamescale.

Figure 4–1 below shows the min/max values in a typical environment in which a positive power flow is assumed. In the figure, the minimum power fact or is –.7 (lagging) and the maximum is .8 (leading). Note that the minimum power factor need not be lagging, and the maximum power factor need not be leading. For example, if the power factor values ranged from –.75 to –.95, then the minimum power factor would be –.75 (lagging) and the maximum power factor would be –.95 (lagging). Both would be negative. Likewise, if the power factor ranged from +.9 to +.95, the minimum would be +.95 (leading) and the maximum would be +.90 (leading). Both would be positive in this case.

Demand Power Calculation Methods

Block Interval Demand

Demand power is the energy accumulated during a specified period divided by the length of that period. How the circuit monitor performs this calculation depends on the method you select. To be compatible with electric utility billing practices, the circuit monitor provides the following types of demand power calculations:

• Block Interval Demand

• Synchronized Demand

The default demand calculation is set to sliding block with a 15 minute interval. You can set up any of the demand power calculation methods from the display or from

SMS. For instructions on how to setup the demand

calculation from the display, see “Setting Up the Metering Functions of the Circuit Monitor” on page 16. See the

SMS online help to perform the set up

using the software.

In the block interval demand method, you select a “block” of time that the circuit monitor uses for the demand calculation. You choose how the circuit monitor handles that block of time (interval). Three different modes are possible:

• Sliding Block. In the sliding block interval, you select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). If the interval is between 1 and 15 minutes, the demand calculation is between 16 and 60 minutes, the demand calculation

.Iftheinterval

completed interval.

• Fixed Block. In the fixed block interval, you select an interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). The circuit monitor calculates and updates the demand at the end of each interval.

• Rolling Block. In the rolling block interval, you select an interval and a subinterval. The subinterval must divide evenly into the interval. For example, you might set three 5-minute subintervals for a 15-minute interval. Demand is

updated at each subinterval

. The circuit monitor

displays the demand value for the last completed interval.

Figure 4–3 below illustrates the three ways to calculate demand power using the block method. For illustration purposes, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

63230-300-212 Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities April 2 001 Demand Readings

Synchronized Demand

The demand calculations can be synchronized by accepting an external pulse input, a command sent over communications, or by synchronizing to the internal real-time clock.

• Input Synchronized Demand. You can set up the circuit monitor to accept an input such as a demand synch pulse from an external source. The circuit monitor then uses the same time interval as the other meter for each demand calculation. You can use any digital input installed on the meter to receive the synch pulse. When setting up this type of demand, you select whether it will be input-synchronized block or inputsynchronized rolling block demand. The rolling block demand requires that you choose a subinterval.

• Command Synchronized Demand. Using command synchronized demand, you can synchronize the demand intervals of multiple meters on a communications network. For example, if a PLC input is monitoring a pulse at the end of a demand interval on a utility revenue meter, you could program the PLC to issue a command to multiple meters whenever the utility meter starts a new demand interval. Each time the command is issued, the demand readings of each meter are calculated for the same interval. When setting up this type of demand, you select whether it will be command-synchronized block or command-synchronized rolling block demand. The rolling block demandrequires that you choose a subinterval. See Appendix B—Using the Command Interface on page 181 for more information.

• Clock SynchronizedDemand. You can synchronize the demand interval to the internal real-time clock in the circuit monitor. This enables you to synchronize the demand to a particular time, typically on the hour. The default time is 12:00 am. If you select another time of day when the demand intervals are to be synchronized, the time must be in minutes from midnight. For example, to synchronize at 8:00 am, select 480 minutes. When setting up this type of demand, you select whether it will be clock-synchronized block or clock-synchronized rolling block demand. The rolling block demand requires that you choose a subinterval.

Demand Current

Demand Voltage

The circuit monitor calculates demand current using the thermal demand method. The default interval is 15 minutes, but you can set the demand current interval between 1 and 60 minutes in 1-minute increments.

The circuit monitor calculates demand voltage. The default voltage demand mode is thermal demand with a 15-minute demand interval. You can also set the demand voltage to any of the block interval demand modes described in “Block Interval Demand” on page 57.

Page 72

Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities 63230-300-212 Demand Readings April 2001

Thermal Demand

Predicted Demand

The thermal demand method calculates the demand based on a thermal response, which mimics thermal demand meters. The demand calculation updates at the end of each interval. You select the demand interval from 1 to 60 minutes (in 1-minute increments). In Figure 4–4 the interval is set to 15 minutes for illustration purposes.

The interval is a window of time that moves across the timeline.

63230-300-212 Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities April 2 001 Demand Readings

Peak Demand

Generic Demand

In nonvolatile memory, the circuit monitor maintains a running maximum for power demand values, called “peak demand.” The peak is the highest average for each of these readings: kWD, kVARD, and kVAD since the last reset. The circuit monitor also stores the date and time when the peak demand occurred. In addition to the peak demand, the circuit monitor also stores the coinciding average 3-phase power factor. The average 3-phase power factor is defined as “demand kW/demand kVA” for the peak demand interval. Table 4–3 on page 56 lists the available peak demand readings from the circuit monitor.

You can reset peak demand values from the circuit monitor display. From the Main Menu, select Resets > Demand. You can also reset the values over the communications link by using

SMS.SeetheSMS online help for instructions.

NOTE: You should reset peak demand after changes to basic meter setup, such as CT ratio or system type.

The circuit monitor also stores the peak demand during the last incremental energy interval. See “Energy Readings” on page 64 for more about incremental energy readings.

The circuit monitor can perform any of the demand calculation methods, described earlier in this chapter, on up to 20 quantities that you choose. In

SMS the quantities are divided into two groups of 10, so you can set up two

different demand “profiles.” For each profile, you do the following in

SMS:

• Select the demand calculation method (thermal, block interval, or synchronized).

• Select the demandinterval (from 5–60 minutes in 1–minute increments) and select the demand subinterval (if applicable).

• Select the quantities on which to perform the demand calculation. You must also select the units and scale factor for each quantity.

Use the Device Setup > Basic Setup tab in

SMS to create the generic

demand profiles. For example, you might set up a profile to calculate the 15-minute average value of an analog input. To do this, select a fixed-block demand interval with a 15-minute interval for the analog input.

For each quantity in the demand profile, the circuit monitor stores four values:

• Partial interval demand value

• Last completed demand interval value

• Minimum values (date and time for each is also stored)

• Peak demand value (date and time for each is also stored)

You can reset the minimum and peak values of the quantities in a generic demand profile by using one of two methods:

• Use

SMS (see the SMS online help file), or

• Use the command interface. Command 5115 resets the generic demand profile 1. Command 5116 resets the generic demand profile 2. See Appendix B—Using the Command Interface on page 181 for more about the command interface.

Input Pulse Demand Metering

The circuit monitor has ten input pulse metering channels. The channels count pulses received from one or more digital inputs assigned to that channel. Each channel requires a consumption pulse weight, consumption scale factor, demand pulse weight, and demand scale factor. The consumption pulse weight is the number of watt-hours or kilowatt-hours per pulse. The consumption scale factor is a factor of 10 multiplier that determines the format of the value. For example, if each incoming pulse represents 125 Wh, and you want consumption data in watt-hours, the consumption pulse weight is 125 and the consumption scale factor is zero. The resulting calculation is 125 x 10

, which equals 125 watt-hoursper pulse.

If you want the consumption data in kilowatt-hours, the calculation is 125 x

-3

, which equals 0.125 kilowatt-hours per pulse.

Time must be taken into account for demand data so you begin by calculating demand pulse weight using the following formula:

watts =

watt-hours x 3600 seconds x pulse

per pulse per hour per second

If each incoming pulse represents 125 Wh, using the formula above you get 450,000 watts. If you want demand data in watts, the demand pulse weight is 450 and the demand scale factor is three. The calculation is 450 x 10

, which equals 450,000 watts. If you want the demand data in kilowatts, the calculation is 450 x 10

, which equals 450 kilowatts.

The circuit monitor counts each input transition as a pulse. Therefore, for an input transition of OFF-to-ON and ON-to-OFF will be counted as two pulses. For each channel, the circuit monitor maintains the following information:

• Total consumption

• Last completed interval demand—calculated demand for the last

completed interval.

• Partial interval demand—demand calculation up to the present point

during the interval.

• Peak demand—highest demand value since the last reset of the input

pulse demand. The date and time of the peak demand is also saved.

• Minimum demand—lowest demand value since the last reset of the input

pulse demand. The date and time of the minimum demand is also saved.

For example, you can use channels to verify utility charges. In Figure 4–6, Channel 1 is adding demand from two utility feeders to track total consumption and demand for the building. This information could be viewed in

SMS and compared against the utility charges.

To use the channels feature, first set up the digital inputs from the display or from

SMS.See“SettingUpI/Os” on page 23 in Chapter 3—Operation for

instructions. Then using

SMS, you must set the I/O operating mode to Normal

and set up the channels. The demand method and interval that you select applies to all channels. See the

SMS online help for instructions on device set

up of the CM4000 Circuit Monitor.

Not shown on the display. Readings are obtained only through the communications link.

The circuit monitor can accumulate the energy values shown in Table 4–4in one of two modes: signed or unsigned (absolute). In signed mode, the circuit monitor considers the direction of power flow, allowing the magnitude of accumulated energy to increase and decrease. In unsigned mode, the circuit monitor accumulates energy as a positive value, regardless of the direction of power flow. In other words, the energy value increases, even during reverse power flow. The default accumulation mode is unsigned.

You can view accumulated energy from the display. The resolution of the energy value will automatically change through the range of 000.000 kWh to 000,000 MWh (000.000 to 000,000 MVARh), or it can be fixed. See Appendix A—Abbreviated Register Listing on page 127 for the contents of the registers.

Page 77

63230-300-212 Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities April 2 001 Energy Readings

For conditional accumulated energy readings, you can set the real, reactive, and apparent energy accumulation to

OFF or ON when a particular condition

occurs. You can do this over the communications link, using a command, or from a digital input change. For example, you may want to track accumulated energy values during a particular process that is controlled by a PLC. The circuit monitor stores the date and time of the last reset of conditional energy in nonvolatile memory.

Also, the circuit monitor provides an additional energy reading that is only available over the communications link:

• Four-quadrant r eactive accumulated energy readings. The circuit

monitor accumulates reactive energy (kVARh) in four quadrants as shown in Figure 4–7. The registers operate in unsigned (absolute) mode in which the circuit monitor accumulates energy as positive.

NOTE: The reactive accumulated energy is not affected by the VAR sign convention and will remain as shown in the image below.

POWER ANALYSIS VALUES

The circuit monitor provides a number of power analysis values that can be used to detect power quality problems, diagnose wiring problems, and more. Ta b le 4 –5 on page 68 summarizes the power analysis values.

• THD. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a quick measure of the total

distortion present in a waveform and is the ratio of harmonic content to the fundamental. It provides a general indication of the “quality” of a waveform. THD is calculated for both voltage and current. The circuit monitor uses the following equation to calculate THD where H is the harmonic distortion:

THD =

100%

• thd. An alternate method for calculating Total Harmonic Distortion, used

widely in Europe. It considers the total harmonic current and the total rms content rather than fundamental content in the calculation. The circuit monitor calculates thd for both voltage and current. The circuit monitor uses the following equation to calculate thd where H is the harmonic distortion:

thd =

100%

Total rms

• TDD. Total Demand Distortion (TDD) is used to evaluate the harmonic

voltages and currents between an end user and a power source. The harmonic values are based on a point of common coupling (PCC), which is a common point that each user receives power from the power source. The following equation is used to calculate TDD where I of individual harmonic components, h is the harmonic order, and I

is the magnitude

is the

maximum demand load current in register 3233:

TDD =

• K-factor. K-factor is a simple numerical rating used to specify

transformers for nonlinear loads. The rating describes a transformer’s ability to serve nonlinear loads without exceeding rated temperature rise limits. The higher the K-factor rating, the better the transformer’s ability to handle the harmonics. The circuit monitor uses the following equation to calculate K-factor where I order:

63230-300-212 Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities April 2 001 Power Analysis Values

• Displacement PowerFactor. Power factor (PF) represents the degree to

which voltage and current coming into a load are out of phase. When true power factor is based on the angle between the fundamental components of current and voltage.

• Harmonic Values. Harmonics can reduce the capacity of the power

system. The circuit monitor determines the individual per-phase harmonic magnitudes and angles through the 63rd harmonic for all currents and voltages. The harmonic magnitudes can be formatted as either a percentage of the fundamental (default) or a percentage of the rms value. Refer to “Setting Up Individual Harmonic Calculations” on page 190 in

Appendix B—Using the Command Interface for information on how to

configure harmonic calculations.

• Harmonic Power. Harmonic power is an indication of the non-

fundamental components of current and power in the electrical circuit.The circuit monitor uses the following equation to calculate harmonic power.

Harmonic Power =

Overall Power

Fundamental Power

• Distortion Power Factor.Distortion power factor is an indication of the

distortion power content of non-linear loads. Linear loads do not contribute to distortion power even when harmonics are present. Distortion power factor provides a way to describe distortion in terms of its total contribution to apparent power. The circuit monitor uses the following equation to calculate the distortion power factor.

Distortion Power Factor =

I/O OPTIONS

The circuit monitor supports a variety of input and output options including:

• Digital Inputs

• Analog Inputs

• Mechanical Relay Outputs

• Solid State KYZ Pulse Outputs

• Analog Outputs

The circuit monitor has one KYZ output as standard. You can expand the I/O capabilities by adding the optional I/O Extender (IOX) and the digital I/O option card (IOC-44). Table 5–1 lists the many available I/O options. The I/O options are explained in detail in the sections that follow.

63230-300-212 Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities April 2 001 Digital Inputs

DIGITAL INPUTS

The circuit monitor can accept up to 16 digital inputs depending on the I/O accessories you select. Digital inputs are used to detect digital signals. For example, the digital input can be used to determine circuit breaker status, count pulses, or count motor starts. Digital inputs canalso be associated with an external relay, which can trigger a waveform capture in the circuit monitor. You can log digital input transitions as events in the circuit monitor’s on-board alarm Log. The event is date and time stamped with resolution to the millisecond, for sequence of events recording. The circuit monitor counts

OFF-to-ON transitions for each input, and you can reset this value using the

command interface.

Digital inputs have four operating modes:

• Normal—Use the normal mode for simple on/off digital inputs. In normal

mode, digital inputs can be used to count KYZ pulses for demand and energy calculation. Using the input pulse demand feature, you can map multiple inputs to the same channel where the circuit monitor can total pulses from multiple inputs (see“Input Pulse Demand Metering” on page 62 in Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities for more information). To accurately count pulses, set the time between transitions from

OFF to ON

and ON to OFF to at least 20 milliseconds.

• Demand Interval Synch Pul se—you can configure any digital input to

accept a demand synch pulse from a utility demand meter (see “Demand Synch Pulse Input” on page 72 of this chapter for more about this topic). For each demand profile, you can designate only one input as a demand synch input.

• Time Synch—you can configure one digital input to receive a signal from

a GPS receiver that provides a serial pulse stream in accordance to the DCF-77 format to synchronize the internal clock of the circuit monitor.

• Conditional Energy Control—you can configure one digital input to control conditional energy (see “Energy Readings” on page 64 in Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities for more about conditional energy).

To set up a digital input on the I/O extender, you must first define it from the display. From the main menu, select Setup > I/O. Select the appropriate digital input option. For example, if you are using IOX-2411 option of the I/O Extender, select IOX-2411. For detailed instructions, see “Setting Up I/Os” on page 23 in Chapter 3—Operation. Then using SMS, define the name and operating mode of the digital input. The name is a 16-character label that identifies the digital input. The operating mode is one of those listed above. See the SMS online help for instructions on device set up of the circuit monitor.

Page 84

Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities 63230-300-212 Demand Synch Pulse Input April 2001

DEMAND SYNCH PULSE INPUT

You can configure the circuit monitor to accept a demand synch pulse from an external source such as another demand meter. By accepting demand synch pulses through a digital input, the circuit monitor can make its demand interval “window” match the other meter’s demand interval “window.” The circuit monitor does this by “watching” the digital input for a pulse from the other demand meter. When it sees a pulse, it starts a new demand interval and calculates the demand for the preceding interval. The circuit monitor then uses the same time interval as the other meter for each demand calculation. Figure 5–1 illustrates this point. See “Synchronized Demand” on page 59 in Chapter 4—Metering Capabilities for more about demand calculations.

When in demand synch pulse operating mode, the circuit monitor will not start or stop a demand interval without a pulse. The maximum allowable time between pulses is 60 minutes. If 66 minutes (110% of the demand interval) pass before a synch pulse is received, the circuit monitor throws out the demand calculations and begins a new calculation when the next pulse is received. Once in synch with the billingmeter, the circuit monitor can be used to verify peak demand charges.

Important facts about the circuit monitor’s demand synch feature are listed below:

• Any installed digital input can be set to accept a demand synch pulse.

• Each system can choose whether to use an external synch pulse, but only

one demand synch pulse can be brought into the meter for each demand system. One input can be used to synchronize any combination of the demand systems.

• The demand synch feature can be set up from

SMS. See the SMS online

help for instructions on device set up of the circuit monitor.

63230-300-212 Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities April 2 001 Analog Inputs

ANALOG INPUTS

Depending on the I/O modules you select, the circuit monitor can accept either voltage or current signals through its analog inputs. See Table 5–1on page 70 for a list of I/O options. The circuit monitor stores a minimum and a maximum value for each analog input.

For technical specifications and instructions on installing I/O modules, refer to the instruction bulletin that ships with the I/O (see Table 1–2onpage3for a list of these publications). To set up analog inputs, you must first set it up from the display. From the main menu, select Setup > I/O, then select the appropriate analog input option. For example, if you are using the

IOX0404

option of the I/O Extender, select IOX-0404. For detailed instructions, see “SettingUpI/Os” on page 23 in Chapter 3—Operation. Then, in

SMS define

the following values for each analog input:

• Name—a 16-character label used to identify the analog input.

• Units—the units of the monitored analog value (for example, “psi”).

• Scale factor—multiplies the units by this value (such as tenths or

hundreths).

• Report Range Lower Limit—the value the circuit monitor reports when the input reaches a minimum value. When the input current is below the lowest valid reading, the circuit monitor reports the lower limit.

• Report Range Upper Limit—the value the circuit monitor reports when the input reaches the maximum value. When the input current is above highest valid reading, the circuit monitor reports the upper limit.

63230-300-212 Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities April 2 001 Relay Output Operating Modes

RELAY OUTPUT OPERATING MODES

Before we describe the 11 available relay operating modes, it is important to understand the difference between a relay configured for remote (external) control and a relay configured for circuit monitor (internal) control.

Each relay output defaults to external control, but you can choose whether the relay is set to external or internal control:

• Remote (external)control—the relay is controlled either from a

SMS or a programmable logic controller using commands via

PC using

communications.

• Circuit monitor (internal) control—the relay is controlled by the circuit monitor in response to a set-point controlled alarm condition, or as a pulse initiator output. Once you’ve set up a relay for circuit monitor control, you can no longer operate the relay remotely. However, you can temporarily override the relay, using

SMS.

NOTE: If any basic setup parameters or I/O setup parameters are modified, all relay outputs will be de-energized.

The 11 relay operating modes are as follows:

• Normal

Remotely Controlled:

—

a remote

PC or programmable controller. The relay remains energized

until a command to de-energize is issued from the remote

Energize the relay by issuing a command from

PC or

programmable controller, or until the circuit monitor loses control power. When control power is restored, the relay will be re-energized.

—

Circuit Monitor Controlled:

When an alarm condition assigned to the

relay occurs, the relay is energized. The relay is not de-energized until

all

alarm conditions assigned to the relay have dropped out, the circuit monitor loses control power, or the alarms are over-ridden using SMS software. If the alarm condition is still true when the circuit monitor regains control power, the relay will be re-energized.

• Latched

Energize the relay by issuing a command from

PC or

programmable controller, or until the circuit monitor loses control power. When control power is restored, the relay will not be reenergized.

—

Circuit Monitor Controlled:

When an alarm condition assigned to the relay occurs, the relay is energized. The relay remains energized— even after all alarm conditions assigned to the relay have dropped out—until a command to de-energize is issued from a remote PC or programmable controller, until the high priority alarm log is cleared from the display, or until the circuit monitor loses control power. When control power is restored, the relay will not be re-energized if the alarm condition is not TRUE.

Page 88

Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities 63230-300-212 Relay Output Operating Modes April 2001

• Timed

Remotely Controlled:

—

Energize the relay by issuing a command from a remote PC or programmable controller. The relay remains energized until the timer expires, or until the circuit monitor loses control power. If a new command to energize the relay is issued before the timer expires, the timer restarts. If the circuit monitor loses control power, the relay will be re-energized when control power is restored and the timer will reset to zero and begin timing again.

—

Circuit Monitor Controlled:

When an alarm condition assigned to the relay occurs, the relay is energized. The relay remains energized for the duration of the timer. When the timer expires, the relay will deenergize and remain de-energized. If the relay is on and the circuit monitor loses control power, the relay will be re-energized when control power is restored and the timer will reset to zero and begin timing again.

• End Of Power Demand Interval

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a synch pulse to another device. The output operates in timed mode using the timer setting and turns on at the end of a power demand interval. It turns off when the timer expires. Because of it’s long life, this mode should be used with solid state relay outputs.

• Absolute kW h Pulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number of kWh per pulse. In this mode, both forward and reverse real energy are treated as additive (as in a tie circuit breaker).

• Absolute kVARh Pulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number of kVARh per pulse. In this mode, both forward and reverse reactive energy are treated as additive (as in a tie circuit breaker).

• kVAhPulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number of kVAh per pulse. Since kVA has no sign, the kVAh pulse has only one mode.

• kWhInPulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number ofkWh per pulse. In this mode, only the kWh flowing into the load is considered.

• kVARh In Pulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number of kVARh per pulse. In this mode, only the kVARh flowing into the load is considered.

• kWh Out Pulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number ofkWh per pulse. In this mode, only the kWh flowing out of the load is considered.

• kVARhOut Pulse

This mode assigns the relay to operate as a pulse initiator with a user-defined number of kVARh per pulse. In this mode, only the kVARh flowing out of the load is considered.

63230-300-212 Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities April 2 001 Mechanical Relay Outputs

MECHANICAL RELAY OUTPUTS

The optional Input/Output Card IOC44 provides three Form-C, 10 A mechanical relays that can be used to open or close circuit breakers, annunciate alarms, and more.

The mechanical output relays of the circuit monitor can be configured to operate in one of 11 operating modes:

• Normal

• Latched (electrically held)

• Timed

• End of power demand interval

• Absolute kWh pulse

• Absolute kVARh pulse

• kVAh pulse

• kWh in pulse

• kVARh in pulse

• kWh out pulse

• kVARh out pulse

See the previous section “Relay Output Operating Modes” on page 75 for a description of the modes.

The last seven modes in the list above are for pulse initiator applications. All Series 4000 Circuit Monitors are equipped with one solid-state output rated at 96 mA and an additional

IOC44 card. The solid-state KYZ output provides the long life—billions of

KYZ pulse output is available on the

KYZ pulse

operations—required for pulse initiator applications. The mechanical relay outputs have limited lives: 10 million operations under no load; 100,000 under load. For maximum life, use the solid-state

KYZ pulse output for pulse

initiation, except when a rating higher than 96 mA is required. See“SolidState KYZ Pulse Output” on page 78 in this chapter for a description of the solid-state

KYZ pulse output.

To set up a mechanical relay output, from the Main Menu, select Setup >

I/O.

Select input option IOC44. For detailed instructions, see “Setting Up I/Os” on page 23 in Chapter 3—Operation.Thenusing

SMS, you must define the

following values for each mechanical relay output:

• Name—A 16-character label used to identify the digital output.

• Mode—Select one of the operating modes listed above.

• Pulse Weight—You must set the pulse weight, the multiplier of the unit

being measured, if you select any of the pulse modes (last 7 listed above).

• Timer—You must set the timer if you select the timed mode or end of

power demand interval mode (in seconds).

• Control—You must set the relay to be controlled either remotely or

internally (from the circuit monitor) if you select the normal, latched, or timed mode.

SOLID-STATE KYZ PULSE O UTPUT

The circuit monitor can detect over 100 alarm conditions, including over/ under conditions, digital input changes, phase unbalance conditions, and more (see Chapter 6—Alarms on page 83 for more about alarms). Using

SMS, you can configure a relay to operate when an alarm condition is true.

For example, you could set up the three relays on the

IOC44 card to operate

at each occurrence of “Undervoltage Phase A.” Then, each time the alarm condition occurs—that is, each time the setpoints and time delays assigned to Undervoltage Phase A are satisfied—the circuit monitor automatically operates relays R1, R2, and R3 according to their configured mode of operation. See “Relay Output Operating Modes” on page 75 of this chapter for a description of the operating modes.

Also, you can assign multiple alarm conditions to a relay. For example, relay AR1 on the IOC-44 card could have “Undervoltage Phase A” and “Undervoltage Phase B” assigned to it. The relay would operate whenever either condition occurred.

NOTE: Setpoint-controlled relay operation can be used for some types of non-time-critical relaying. For more information, see “Setpoint-Controlled Relay Functions” on page 88 in

Chapter 6—Alarms

This section describes the pulse output capabilities of the circuit monitor. For instructions on wiring the

KYZ pulse output, see “Wiring the Solid-State KYZ

Output” on page 55 in Chapter 5—Wiring of the installation manual.

The circuit monitor is equipped with one solid-state

KYZ pulse output located

near the option card slots. The IOC44 option card also has a solid-state KYZ output. The solid-state relays provides the extremely long life—billions of operations—required for pulse initiator applications.

The

KYZ output is a Form-C contact with a maximum rating of 96 mA.

Because most pulse initiator applications feed solid-state receivers with low burdens, this 96 mA rating is adequate for most applications. For applications where a higher rating is required, the ampere ratings. Use

SMS or the display to configure any of the 10 ampere

IOC44 card provides 3 relays with 10

relays as a pulse initiator output. Keep in mind that the 10 ampere relays are mechanical relays with limited life—10 million operations under no load; 100,000 under load.

To set the kilowatthour-per-pulsevalue, use SMS or the display. When setting the kWh/pulse value, set the value based on a 3-wire pulse output. For instructions on calculating the correct value, see “Calculating the Kilowatthour-Per-Pulse Value” on page 80 in this chapter.

The circuit monitor can be used in 2-wire or 3-wire pulse initiator applications. Each of these applications is described in the sections that follow.

The

KYZ pulse output can be configured to operate in one of 11 operating

modes. See “Relay Output Operating Modes” on page 75 for a description of the modes.

The setup in

SMS or at the circuit monitor display is the same as a

mechanical relay. See the previous section “Mechanical Relay Outputs” on page 77, for the values you must set up in

SMS.

63230-300-212 Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities April 2 001 Solid-State KYZ Pulse Output

2-Wire Pulse Initiator

Most digital inputs in energy management systems use only two of the three wires provided with a KYZ pulse initiator. This is called a 2-wire pulse initiator application. Figure 5–3 shows a pulse train from a 2-wire pulse initiator application.

In a 2-wire application, the pulse train looks like the alternating open and closed states of a Form-A contact. Most 2-wire pulse initiator applications use a Form-C contact, but tie into only one side of the Form-C contact where the pulse is the transition from OFF to ON of that side of the Form-C relay. In Figure 5–3, the transitions are marked as 1 and 2. Each transition represents the time when the relay transitions from KZ to KY. Each time the relay transitions, the receiver counts a pulse. The circuit monitor can deliver up to 25 pulses per second in a 2-wire application.

3-Wire Pulse Initiator

Figure 5–3: Two-wire pulse train

Some applications require the use of all three wires provided with the KYZ pulse initiator. This is called a 3-wire pulse initiator application. Figure 5–4 shows a pulse train for a 3-wire pulse initiator application.

Three-wire KYZ pulses are the transitions between KY and KZ. These transitions are the alternate contact closures of a Form-C contact. In Figure 5–4, the transitions are marked as 1, 2, 3, and 4. The receiver counts a pulse at each transition. That is, each time the Form-C contact changes state from KY to KZ, or from KZ to KY, the receiver counts a pulse.The circuit monitor can deliver up to 50 pulses per second in a 3-wire application.

Chapter 5—Input/Output Capabilities 63230-300-212 Calculating the Watthour-Per-Pulse Value April 2001

CALCULATING THE KILOWATTHOUR-PER-PULSE VALUE

This section shows an example of how to calculate kilowatthours per pulse. To calculate this value, first determine the highest kW value you can expect and the required pulse rate. In this example, the following assumptions are made:

• The metered load should not exceed 1600 kW.

• About two KYZ pulses per second should occur at full scale.

Step 1: Convert 1600 kW load into kWh/second.

(1600 kW) (1 Hr) = 1600 kWh

(1600 kWh) = “X” kWh

1 hour

1 second

(1600 kWh) = “X” kWh

3600 seconds

1 second

X = 1600/3600 = 0.4444 kWh/second

Step 2: Calculate the kWh required per pulse.

0.4444 kWh/second = 0.2222 kWh/pulse

2 pulses/second

Step 3: Round to nearest hundreth, since the circuit monitor only accepts

0.01 kWh increments.

Ke = 0.22 kWh/pulse

Summary:

• 3-wire application—0.22 kWh/pulse provides approximately 2 pulses per

second at full scale.

• 2-wire application—0.11 kWh/pulse provides approximately 2 pulses per

second at full scale. (To convert to the kWh/pulse required for a 2-wire application, divide Ke by 2. This is necessary because the circuit monitor Form C relay generates two pulses—KY and KZ—for every pulse that is counted.)

ANALOG OUTPUTS

This section describes the circuit monitor’s analog output capabilities. For technical specifications and instructions on installing the I/O Extender or analog output modules, refer to the instruction bulletin that ships with the I/O (see Table 1–2 on page 3 for a list of these publications).

To set up analog outputs, you must first define it from the display. From the main menu, select Setup > I/O. Select the appropriate analog output option. For example, if you are using the IOX0404 option of the I/O Extender, select IOX0404. For detailed instructions, see “SettingUpI/Os” on page 23 in Chapter 3—Operation.Thenusing values for each analog output:

• Name—A 16-character label used to identify the output. Default names are assigned, but can be customized

• Output register—The circuit monitor register assigned to the analog output.

• Lower Limit—The value equivalent to the minimum output current. When the register value is below the lower limit, the circuit monitor outputs the minimum output current.

• Upper Limit—The value equivalent to the maximum output current. When the register value is above the upper limit, the circuit monitor outputs the maximum output current.

ABOUT ALARMS

Alarms Groups

The circuit monitor can detect over 100 alarm conditions, including over or under conditions, digital input changes, phase unbalance conditions, and more. It also maintains a counter for each alarm to keep track of the total number of occurrences. A complete list of default alarm configurations are described in Table 6–3 on page 94. In addition, you can set up your own custom alarms and set up relays to operate on alarm conditions.

When one or more alarm conditions are true, the circuit monitor will execute a task automatically. Using

SMS or the display, you can set up each alarm

condition to perform these tasks:

• Force data log entries in up to 14 user-defined data log files. See Chapter 7—Logging on page 99 for more about data logging.

• Perform event captures. See Chapter8—Waveform and Event Capture

on page 107 for more about event recording.

• Operate relays. Using

SMS you can assign one or more relays to operate

when an alarm condition is true. See the SMS online help for more about this topic.

Whether you are using a default alarm or creating a custom alarm, you first choose the alarm group that is appropriate for the application. Each alarm condition is assigned to one of these alarm groups:

• Standard—Standard alarms have a detection rate of 1 second and are useful for detecting conditions such as over current and under voltage. Up to 80 alarms can be set up in this alarm group

• High Speed—High speed alarms have a detection rate of 100 milliseconds and are useful for detecting voltage sags and swells lasting only a few cycles. Up to 20 alarms can be set up in this group.

• Disturbance—Disturbance alarms have a detection rate one cycle and are useful for detecting voltage sags and swells. Up to 20 alarms can be set up in this group. See Chapter 9—Disturbance Monitoring on page 113 for more about disturbance monitoring.

• Digital—Digital alarms are triggered by an exception such as the transition of a digital input or the end of an incremental energy interval. Up to 40 alarms can be set up in this group.

• Boolean—Boolean alarms use Boolean logic to combine up to four enabled alarms. You can choose from the Boolean logic operands:

NAND, OR, NOR

,orXOR to combine your alarms. Up to 15 alarms can be

AND,

set up in this group.

Use either

SMS or the display to set up any of the alarms.

Page 97

63230-300-212 Chapter 6—Alarms April 2 001 About Alarms

Setpoint-Driven Alarms

Many of the alarm conditions require that you define setpoints. This includes all alarms for over, under, and phase unbalance alarm conditions. Other alarm conditions such as digital input transitions and phase reversals do not require setpoints. For those alarm conditions that require setpoints, you must define the following information:

• Pickup Setpoint

• Pickup Delay (depending on the alarm group, you choose the time in

seconds, 100 ms increments, or cycles)

• Dropout Setpoint

• Dropout Delay (depending on the alarm group, you choose the time in

seconds, 100 ms increments, or cycles)

NOTE: Alarms with both Pickup and Dropout setpoints set to zero are invalid.

To understand how the circuit monitor handles setpoint-driven alarms, see Figure 6–2 on page 86. Figure 6–1 shows what the actual alarm Log entries for Figure 6–2 might look like, as displayed by

SMS.

NOTE: The software does not actually display the codes in parentheses— EV1, EV2, Max1, Max2. These are references to the codes in Figure 6–2.

Priorities

Alarm Levels

Each alarm also has a priority level. Use the priorities to distinguish between events that require immediate action and those that do not require action.

• High priority—if a high priority alarm occurs, the display informs you in

two ways: the LED onthe display flashes until you acknowledge the alarm and a message displays while the alarm is active.

• Medium pr iority—if a medium priority alarm occurs, the LED flashes and

a message displays only while the alarm is active. Once the alarm becomes inactive, the LED stops flashing.

• Low priority—if a low priority alarm occurs, the LED on the display

flashes only while the alarm is active. No alarm message is displayed.

• No priority—if an alarm is setup with no priority, no visible representation

will appear on the display. Alarms with no priority are not entered in the Alarm Log. See Chapter 7—Logging for alarm logging information.

If multiple alarms with different priorities are active at the same time, the display shows the alarm message for the last alarm that occurred. For instructions on setting up alarms from the circuit monitor display, see “Setting Up and Editing Alarms” on page 21.

From the display or

SMS, multiple alarms can be set up for one particular

quantity (parameter) to create alarm “levels”. You can take different actions depending on the severity of the alarm.

For example, you could set up two alarms for kW Demand. A default alarm already exists for kW Demand (no. 26 in the alarm list), but you could create another custom alarm for kW Demand, selecting different pickup points for it. The custom kW Demand alarm, once created, will appear in the standard alarm list. For illustration purposes, let’s set the default kW Demand alarm to 120 kW and the new custom alarm to 150 kW. One alarm named

Demand

; the other

kW Demand 150kW

as shown in Figure 6–3. Note that if

you choose to set up two alarms for the same quantity, use slightly different names to distinguish which alarm is active. The display can hold up to 15 characters for each name. You can create up to 10 alarm levels for each quantity.

Chapter 6—Alarms 63230-300-212 Custom Alarms April 2001

CUSTOM ALARMS

SETPOINT-CONTROLLED RELAY FUNCTIONS

The circuit monitor has many pre-defined alarms, but you can also set up your own custom alarms. For example, you may need to alarm on the ON-toOFF transition of a digital input. To create this type of custom alarm:

1. Select the appropriate alarm group (digital in this case).

2. Select the type of alarm (described in Table 6–4 on page 96).

3. Give the alarm a name.

After creating a custom alarm, you can configure it by applying priorities, setting pickups and dropouts (if applicable), and so forth. For instructions on creating custom alarms, see “Creating a New Custom Alarm” on page 19 in Chapter 3—Operation.

NOTE: The circuit monitor will automatically create alarms for the IOC44 and the IOX when the modules are identified. These are OFF-to-ON alarms.

A circuit monitor can mimic the functions of certain motor management devices to detect and respond to conditions such as phase loss, undervoltage, or reverse phase relays. While the circuit monitor is not a primary protective device, it can detect abnormal conditions and respond by operating one or more Form-C output contacts. These outputs can be used to operate an alarm horn or bell to annunciate the alarm condition.

NOTE: The circuit monitor is not designed for use as a primary protective relay. While its setpoint-controlled functions may be acceptable for certain applications, it should not be considered a substitute for proper circuit protection.

If you determine that the circuit monitor’s performance is acceptable for the application, the output contacts can be used to mimic some functions of a motor management device. When deciding if the circuit monitor is acceptable for these applications, keep the following points in mind:

• Circuit monitors require control power to operate properly.

• Circuit monitors may take up to 5 seconds after control power is applied

before setpoint-controlled functions are activated. If this is too long, a reliable source of control power is required.

• When control power is interrupted for more than approximately 100 milliseconds, the circuit monitor releases all energized output contacts.

• Standard setpoint-controlled functions may take 1–2 seconds to operate, in addition to the intended delay.

• A password is required to program the circuit monitor’s setpoint controlled relay functions.

• Changing certain setup parameters after installation may operate relays in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of the application.

For instructions on configuring setpoint-controlled alarms or relays from the circuit monitor’s display, see “Setting Up and Editing Alarms” on page 21. The types of available alarms are described later in this chapter in Ta b le 6 –3 on page 94.
