Special Sensors Interface

GWP Sensor Interface (meter type)
The EM235/PM335 has adapted the power analyzers for interfacing GWP medium voltage
sensors. GWP sensors come in 3 different variants. Voltage measurement, Current
measurement and combined voltage/current measurement sensors for indoor applications

- Voltage inputs: 3,25V/√3

- Current inputs: 225mV
Advantages:
• This unique family of products is a range of extremely compact sensors. The range
includes current sensors LPCT and voltage sensors LPVT.
• The device is also compatible with combined sensors.
• GWP sensors in chain with the Pro Series device fulfill the requirements of the accuracy
class 0.5 (Standalone Pro Series itself fulfills Class 0.2S for kWh, per IEC 62053-22)
and provide a power quality profile of the network in the range of below mentioned
limits*.
• GWP sensors, LPCT or LPVT, offer modern and cost-effective applications for the MV-
Grid.

Lindsey Sensor Interface

The LINDSEY MV Line Post Sensors (or also known as Pole Top Sensor – PTS) replace
standard MV line insulators and incorporate a built-in CT and PT like for outdoor
applicatoins.

The PTS converts the high voltage and current to a small voltage signal instead of the
normal 120 Volt and 5 Amp outputs of standard CTs and PTs. Based on SATEC Model Pro
Series-Power Quality / Energy Meter to fully interface with the low level sensor outputs for
line voltage and current.
Full measurements and data can be obtained from the Pro Series, including waveform,
harmonics, logs etc.

PRO meter shall be installed in an electrical cabinet according all safety requirements

NOTE:
The Pro Series meter in the PTS PRO MV Advanced Analyzer is factory setup as follows:
• Wiring mode: 4LL3
• CT Primary current (A): 300
• PT ratio:
- For 15kV: 22.5
- For 25kV: 53.1
- For 35kV: 160.9
• PT multiplier: x1

Each Pole Top Sensor set includes the manufacturer test report showing V & I gain linearity
and phase shift results, this information must be applied to the PRO meter through the
General Setup\Instrument Transformer Correction menu using PAS.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 23

Chapter 2 Installation Electrical Installation

6. While wiring the instrument CT primary or HACS to the secondary

of an external third party current transformer, the external current
transformer secondary output must never be allowed to be open
circuit when the primary is energized. An open circuit can cause
high voltages, possibly resulting in equipment damage, fire and
even serious or fatal injury. Ensure that the current transformer
wiring is secured using an external strain relief to reduce
mechanical strain on the screw terminals, if necessary.
7. Only qualified personnel familiar with the instrument and its
associated electrical equipment must perform setup procedures.
8. It is required to use a 2A Low-Voltage Circuit Breaker before
connecting to Mains (voltage inputs)
9. It is recommended to use non-insulated ferrules as wire terminal,
such as: P/N: F77-8-M – Manufacturer: PANDUIT
10. There shall be reliable segregation or separation by barriers
between the following different circuits:
a) Class 1 field and factory installed wiring (such as CT output leads, voltage measurement
leads, mains input power), terminals, and uninsulated live parts; and
b) Class 2 and Class 3 field installed and factory wiring, terminals, and uninsulated live
parts.

Communicating with the EM235/PM335 PRO

Communication with the EM235/PM335 PRO can be established independently and
simultaneously through any communications port using the support PAS program supplied
with the device or user application software. All communication ports are slave ports and
have factory-preset parameters, such as baud rate, data format, and communications
protocol that can be easily changed whenever desired.

COM1-COM4 Serial Communications (standard)

The EM235/PM335 PRO has three standard serial communication ports COM1 through
COM4 for communicating with the master workstations, RTUs, PLCs or PAS™@ PCs, and
with an optional remote display. All serial ports can operate in the RS-485 two-wire mode.
The COM1 is an RS-485 port. The COM2 ports can also be used for RS-485 two-wire
communication (on add-on module). Local programming and upgrading the device firmware
can be established by any communication port.
All ports are optically isolated and can operate at baud rates up to 115200 bps. Each port
can be set up for any communication protocol supported by the EM235/PM335 PRO
independently from other ports. All ports are factory preset to 19200 bps, 8-bits/No-parity
data format, and programmed for the Modbus RTU protocol.
The COM3 port has different connection terminals and is intended for communication with
the LED display unit (RDM – future release)
The IR port is identified in the EM235/PM335 PRO as the COM4 port. It is factory preset to
19200 bps, 8-bits/No-parity data format, and programmed for the MODBUS RTU protocol.
The IR port can be equipped with an IEC- or ANSII-compatible optical head.
See Configuring Serial Ports in Chapter 5, for information on how to set up serial ports in
your device. For wiring diagrams, refer to Communication Connections.

USB Port (standard)

A USB node port is intended for local communications with the support PAS software. It is
directly connected to your PC’s USB port using the supplied USB cable. The USB
communications does not require any settings. Just connect your PC to the EM235/PM335
PRO USB port and install the supplied USB driver (see Installing the USB Driver in Chapter
6). The USB communications is ten times faster than the serial communications can provide
at a maximum baud rate.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 55

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Communicating with the EM235/PM335 PRO

Ethernet Port
One or two 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports provide a direct connection of the EM235/PM335
PRO to a local area network through the TCP/IP protocols. The device has three onboard
TCP servers configured for the Modbus/TCP (at TCP port 502), DNP3.0/TCP (at TCP port
20000) and IEC 60870-5-104 (at TCP port 2404) communications. The TCP servers can
support up to 10 simultaneous connections with MODBUS/TCP, DNP3.0/TCP and IEC
60870-5-104 client applications.
Connection through the Ethernet port does not require device identification. The
EM235/PM335 PRO responds to any device address and returns the received address in
the response message.
The two Ethernet ports can either be configured for separate and independent ethernet port
or used for daisy chain configuration
 Note
To provide simultaneous file services for all ports, the EM235/PM335 PRO keeps
independent file pointers for each communications port. For a TCP port, the EM235/PM335
PRO holds separate file pointers for each active TCP socket. The TCP server automatically
closes a connection if a socket is idle for more than 5 minutes. There is no guarantee that a
new connection is established at the same socket, so do not make any assumptions
regarding the current file status when starting a new connection from your application.
Always initialize a file pointer to a record from where you expect to begin reading a file. For
more information, see “File Transfer” in the EM235/PM335 PRO MODBUS Communications
Guide.

Using PAS
PAS is the support software supplied with the EM235/PM335 PRO that gives the user basic
tool for programming the device, performing remote control operations, monitoring real-time
measurements, retrieving and analyzing historical data files, reviewing fault and power
quality reports, and more.
PAS can communicate with the devices through any EM235/PM335 PRO port using the
MODBUS RTU, MODBUS ASCII and DNP3.0 protocols. For information on installing and
using PAS, see Chapter 5 “Using PAS”.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 56

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Device Inputs

Device Inputs
AC Inputs
The AC voltage and current input terminals are connected to the internal device circuits
through high impedance input voltages and transformers input current that isolate the device
from external wiring.

Voltage Inputs
The device has four high-impedance voltage inputs (direct 690V RMS phase-to-phase
voltage, ×140% overload). Voltage channels are designated as V1 through V3 and Vn.
The secondary voltage rating and primary to secondary voltage ratio (PT ratio) of the
external potential transformers must be specified in your device to provide correct voltage
measurements. For more information on specifying voltage input ratings in your device, see
Basic Device Setup in Chapter 6.
The secondary rating of the voltage inputs is used as a reference for calculating thresholds
for the power quality and fault triggers.

Current Inputs
The device is provided with current input transformers with either 5A or 1A rated current in
the standard model.
For more information on specifying input ratings in your device, see Basic Device Setup in
Chapter 6.

Sampling
7 AC channels (3 voltages and 4 currents) are continuously and simultaneously sampled at
a rate of 256 samples per cycle (12.8 kHz at 50Hz or 15.36 kHz at 60Hz).
The sampling rate is precisely synchronized with the power frequency. The reference
frequency signal is taken from one of the phase voltage inputs V1-V3, band-pass filtered,
and then sampled at 12.5 MHz providing a 0.0004% cycle measurement error.

Waveform Tracing
The sampled waveforms are stored to the circular trace buffer whose depth is sufficient to
provide up to 20 pre-fault cycles for the waveform recorder. The waveform recorder is
synchronized with the sampling circuitry and can store unlimited number of post-event
cycles. The length of the captured waveforms is only restricted by the size of the allocated
logging memory.

Digital Inputs
The EM235/PM335 PRO can monitor 2 digital inputs in the device (optional) and up to 3
removable 8-channel digital input modules with a total of 26 inputs. The modules may be
ordered with input options for dry contacts, or ±24V, ±125V and ±250V wet inputs.
All digital inputs are sampled at a rate of 16/20 (60/50 Hz) samples per cycle and
synchronized to the AC sampling circuitry. This gives time stamping of the input transitions
with a 1-ms resolution.
Digital inputs have a programmable debounce time from one to 100 milliseconds in groups
of two inputs. Each input can be independently linked to any device counter, Energy/TOU
system register, and setpoints.

Analog Inputs
The EM235/PM335 PRO monitors 1 on-device universal analog input (AI) and up to 3
removable
6-channels analog input modules (future), with a total of 19 AI, which may be used for
measuring DC and low frequency currents and volts, temperature through temperature
sensor.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 57

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Device Outputs

The following AI modules may be ordered with the device:

• 6-channel optically isolated AI modules with optional ranges of 0-1 mA, ±1 mA, 0-20 mA,
or 4-20 mA, 0-50 mA or ±10 V. The 0-1 mA and ±1 mA analog inputs can measure 200%
overload currents up to 2 mA and ±2 mA.
• The EM235/PM335 PRO may be equipped with up to three 6AI modules.
The scan time for regular analog inputs is 1 ms.
Each analog input can be independently scaled to provide true readings in the user-defined
engineering units (see Programming Analog Inputs in Chapter 6).

Device Outputs
Analog Inputs/Outputs
The EM235/PM335 PRO supports up to three removable 4AO modules with a total of 12
analog output versatile channels that can output DC currents proportional to the measured
analog quantities. All outputs are optically isolated and have an internal power supply. The
0-1mA and ±1mA analog outputs provide 200% overload currents up to 2 mA and ±2mA.

Update time for analog outputs is 2-cycles (32 ms at @ 60Hz and 40 ms @ 50Hz).
Each analog output can be independently scaled to provide the desired engineering scale
and resolution (see Programming Analog Outputs in Chapter 2).

Relay Outputs
The EM235/PM335 PRO provides one on-device relay output (SSR) and up to 12 digital
outputs through three plug-in 4-channel relay output modules. Each module has eight
electro-mechanical relays 2-contact SPST Form A.
The following table shows timing characteristics of the relays and their expected lifetime.

Characteristic Form A Relays

Operate time 10 ms
Release time 5 ms
Bounce time 1 ms
Mechanical endurance 10,000,000
operations
Electrical endurance 50,000
(5A/250V) operations
Each relay is independently programmable and operates in latched, unlatched, pulse or KYZ
mode.
Relay operations can be inverted so that the relay is energized in its non-active state and
de-energized when it is operated. This mode, known as “failsafe” mode, is used for signaling
purposes to send alarms when the device is not operational either due to a fault or due to
loss of power.

Latched and Unlatched Operation

Latched and unlatched mode of operation concerns local relay commands issued from the
control setpoints.
In unlatched mode, a local setpoints command sent to the relay is automatically cleared; the
relay is released when all setpoints linked to the relay return to non-operated state.
In latched mode, the operated relay is not released automatically when the conditions that
caused the relay to operate are no longer present. To release a latched relay, an explicit
release command must be sent either from a separate setpoint, or through communications.
If the relay is locked in the operated state by a remote command, the local release
command only clears the internal latch and the relay stays in operated state until the remote
command is removed.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 58

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Metering

Pulse and KYZ Operation

Pulse mode causes a relay to produce a pulse with a predefined duration in response to a
local or remote relay command. After a pulse is expired, the command is automatically
cleared and the relay is held up in released state for at least pulse width time before the next
command is accepted.
The programmable pulse width is selected from 10 ms to 1 sec. The device scans all relays
in 1/2-cycle time intervals. This means that the actual pulse width is a multiple of the 1/2-
cycle time rounded to the nearest larger value. The programmable pulse width does not
include the relay operate and release times.
In KYZ mode, every operate command changes the present state of a relay to the opposite
state producing a transition pulse, and the relay is held up in this state for at least pulse
width time before the next command is accepted. KYZ mode is commonly used with Form C
relays to signal pulses by alternation of the two contact pairs.
Pulse and KYZ relays can be directly linked to the internal pulse sources to output energy or
time interval pulses.

Remote Commands
A remote operate command forces a latched or unlatched relay to move to its active state.
The relay is held in active state until the command is removed by a remote release
command. The remote release command also removes the local commands that hold a
latched relay in active state.
A remote operate command sent to a pulse or KYZ relay forces the relay to produce a pulse
or changes its state. A remote release command sent to a pulse or KYZ relay has no effect
since the operate command is cleared automatically for these relays.

Retentive Relays
Latched relays can be set to operate in retentive mode. Retentive mode affects the behavior
of the relay after loss of power.
After restoring power, all non-retentive relays are in inactive state until local conditions are
reevaluated. All active remote commands for non-retentive relays are cleared.
Retentive relays retain their status after restoring power, and all active remote commands
that were issued before loss of power are still effective.

Critical Faults
When a critical error is detected by the device diagnostics, all relays are released regardless
of their operation mode and all remote relay commands are removed.

Metering
RMS Measurements
All RMS quantities are based on 1/2-cycle true RMS measurements performed over 64
samples of the acquired waveforms. The 1/2-cycle quantities are values (normally, RMS
volts, RMS currents and unbalances) measured over one cycle and updated each half cycle
. This allows fast response to power quality and fault events.

RMS Trace
The EM235/PM335 PRO handles a circular RMS trace buffer that stores the last forty 1/2-
cycle RMS, unbalance, zero-sequence and frequency readings. This allows the data
recorder to provide 1/2-cycle trending of up to 20 pre-fault cycles when it is triggered from
the Power Quality.
The following table lists parameters that are available for pre-fault tracing.

Data logs #13 (fault data trend) and Data logs #14 (PQ data trend) are internally linked to
the RMS trace buffer. The number of pre-fault cycles for data trending is defined when
configuring the Power Quality and Fault recorders. See Configuring the Power Quality
Recorder and Configuring the Fault Recorder in Chapter 7.

Harmonic Measurements
The EM235/PM335 PRO provides harmonic measurements on three voltage channels V1-
V3 and four standard range current channels I1-I4. To avoid erroneous harmonic readings
when the high fault currents saturate current channels, the harmonics registers are not
updated at the time of the fault.
The FFT analysis is performed over a 10-cycle waveform for 50Hz and 12-cycle waveform
for 60Hz system, sampled at a rate of 256 samples per cycle. This gives spectrum
components up to the 63rd harmonic.

The device provides individual voltage and current harmonic measurements both in percent
of the fundamental component, and in corresponding engineering units. Quantities in
engineering units are calculated only for odd harmonics.
Angles for phasor vectors are given relative to the V1 phase voltage.

Aggregation Intervals
The device provides electrical measurements using a number of fixed aggregation time
intervals from 1/2 cycle to 2 hours. The demand measurements use programmable
aggregation intervals of up to 2.5 hours. The following table shows aggregation intervals
available for different electrical quantities.

The 200 ms RMS and unbalance quantities are integrated over a 10-cycle time for 50 Hz
and 12-cycle time for 60 Hz power system. The data for the 3 sec time interval is aggregated
from fifteen 200 ms time intervals. All RMS quantities aggregated from lower time intervals
represent true RMS readings over the entire aggregation interval.

Demands
Demand measurements are provided for volts, amps, total harmonics and powers. Two
different demand measurement techniques are used: block interval demand and sliding
window demand.

Block Interval Demand

The block interval demand is calculated by aggregation of measurements over contiguous
and non-overlapping fixed time intervals. Volts, amps and total harmonic demands are
produced by averaging 1 sec RMS aggregates. Power demands are evaluated using
integration of energies and averaging power over the demand time interval.
For volt, ampere and total harmonic demands, the demand period time is programmed from
1 second to 2.5 hours (see Advanced Device Setup in Chapter 6). For power demands, the
demand period can be selected from 1 min to one hour.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 61

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Metering

Sliding Window Demand

The sliding window (rolling) demand technique is applied to power demands. The sliding
window demand is calculated by averaging block interval demands over a number of
adjacent demand intervals, which produce a sliding window. The number of time intervals for
a sliding window can be selected from 1 to 15. When the present block demand interval
expires, the sliding window moves one step forward by replacing the oldest entry with the
most recent calculated block interval demand.

Accumulated and Predicted Demands

For power demands, the device provides an indication of two additional parameters: the
accumulated block interval demand and predicted sliding window demand. Both
accumulated and predicted demands can be effectively used for load shedding on the
substation feeders.
The accumulated demand represents the relative energy accumulated from the beginning of
the present demand interval and expressed in power units. It grows from zero at the
beginning and up to the final block demand at the end of the demand interval. If the
accumulated demand exceeds the allowed demand at any point, the final block interval
demand is more than the present accumulated demand (or equal if the load is
disconnected).
The predicted demand shows the expected sliding window demand value at the end of the
present demand interval, assuming that the load does not change. The predicted demand
reflects load changes immediately as they happen.
Power demands are calculated for all device energy accumulators, including the Summary
and TOU energy registers.
The following table shows demand quantities provided by the device.

Current TDD demand ×

export)
kvar demand (import and × × × ×

kVA demand × × × ×
Summary energy demand × × ×
(16 configurable registers)

Maximum Demands
Every demand parameter is provided with the maximum demand register, which contains a
time-stamped peak demand value recorded since the last reset. Maximum power demand
registers are linked to the corresponding sliding demand source registers. If you wish to use
block interval demands instead of sliding window demands as a source, set the number of
the block intervals in the sliding window to 1.
For the TOU demand registers, the device allows automatic recording (profiling) of the daily
and monthly maximum demands to the data log together with the TOU energy readings.

Energy Metering
The EM235/PM335 PRO provides true four-quadrant energy measurements for kWh
imported and exported, kvarh imported and exported, and kVAh, with Class 0.2 ANSI C12-
20:2015 or Class 0.2S IEC 62053-22:2003 accuracy. Net and total energy measurements
for kWh and kvarh, and volt-hours and ampere-hours calculations are provided.
The device provides nine-digit energy counters by default. You can set the counters to have
fewer digits by changing the default energy roll value in your device (see General Setup
Device Option in Chapter 6).

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 62

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Metering

Energy Pulses
The EM235/PM335 PRO outputs energy pulses through relay contacts with a user-
selectable pulse rate (see Producing Energy Pulses and Programming Relay Outputs in
Chapter 6). The pulse type (complete pulse or KYZ pulse), pulse width and polarity are
freely programmable.

Energy Pulse LEDs

The EM235/PM335 PRO has one pulse LED on the front that provide energy pulsing for
imported kWh or kvarh.
The LED pulse rate (pulse constant) is user-selectable (see General Setup Device Option in
Chapter 6) and is programmed in secondary units. It does not depend on the ratings of the
external transformers. The LED pulse rate is set at the factory to 0.1 Wh/pulse
corresponding to one equivalent disk revolution.
The energy pulse LEDs are used for testing device accuracy by the external control
equipment through pulse readers. In order not to affect the energy accumulators, the device
should be put into the Energy Test Mode where the energy accumulators are disconnected
from the power sources. Energy Test Mode also prevents erroneous setpoint operation and
recording faults and power quality events when the test volts and currents are applied to the
device. For information on entering the Energy Test Mode, see Device Options Menu in
Chapter 3.

Summary Energy Registers

The EM235/PM335 PRO provides 16 summary (totalization) energy registers and 16
parallel demand registers that can be linked to any internal energy source, or to any external
pulse source that delivers energy pulses through the device digital inputs (see Chapter 8
Totalization Energy and TOU Registers).
Each summary register can be configured to accumulate energies from multiple sources
using arithmetic addition and subtraction. A summary register is allowed to be linked to
another summary register to provide more comprehensive energy calculations.

Time-of-Use
The EM235/PM335 PRO TOU system handle a 10-year calendar with up to 16 types of
days and up to eight tariff changes per day in each daily profile.
The device provides 16 TOU energy and 16 parallel maximum demand registers that
receive data from the corresponding summary registers. Each TOU energy and TOU
maximum demand register stores the accumulated energy and corresponding peak
demands for up to 16 tariffs. See Chapter 8 “Totalization Energy and TOU Registers” for
information on how to configure the TOU registers and define the tariff scheme in your
device.
The device allows automatic daily and monthly profiling of the TOU energy readings and
TOU maximum demands to the data log files. Data log files #15 and #16 are dedicated to
the TOU system profile log and can be configured to automatically record TOU daily and
monthly profiles (see Configuring Data Log Files in Chapter 7).

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Monitoring

Instrument Transformer Correction

Ratio and phase angle error correction can be applied to external CTs and PTs to achieve
overall metering installation accuracy, or be used in any metering installation to optimize the
accuracy of the metering data.
The user can program up to both ratio correction and phase angle error curves covering the
typical transformer operating range.
The EM235/PM335 PRO is able to calculate the transformer errors dynamically based on
the transformer performance characteristics and the actual CT current and PT voltage
signals appearing at the meter, to interpolate to the actual measured operating point and to
apply the interpolated error corrections to the meter calculations.
See Instrument Transformer Correction Setup on how to program the ratio correction factors
and phase angle errors for external CTs and PTs and enable correction in the meter. See
Device Options how to enable and disable correction in the meter via the front display.
NOTES
1. When transformer correction is enabled,
it is applied to all instrumentation, billing
and power quality calculations and
waveforms.
2. Transformer correction does not affect test LED pulse outputs.
3. Transformer correction is not operational in test mode regardless of the
option’s status.

Monitoring
Memory Backup Battery
The hardware circuit monitors the status of the memory backup battery. When the battery
level drops below the minimum allowed threshold, the icon on the display status bar will
lit up, indicating that the battery should be replaced.

Logical Controller
The embedded logical controller allows monitoring any measured quantity or external
contacts to provide indication, counting and recording events when the monitored value
exceeds the predefined threshold or when status transitions are detected on the device
inputs. See Using Control Setpoints in Chapter 6 for information on programming the logical
controller.
The logical controller launches the Waveform recorder and Data recorder to record the input
waveforms and measured quantities at the time of the event. Control setpoints can also be
linked to the Event recorder to record setpoint transition events into the event log files.

Recording
Event Recorder
The Event recorder automatically records time-tagged self-supervision events related to
configuration changes, resets and device diagnostics. The logical controller can also be
programmed to trigger the Event recorder in order to put the events monitored through
programmable setpoints into the event report. See Configuring the Event Recorder in
Chapter 7 for more information on programming the Event recorder.

Power Quality Recorder

The EM235/PM335 PRO recorder continuously monitors voltage inputs and records time-
tagged disturbances and faults into the power quality event log. All power quality triggers
have programmable thresholds and can be adjusted for specific applications.
The Power Quality recorder is programmed to trigger the Waveform recorder and Data
recorder to record input waveforms and long-duration RMS trends during the time of the
disturbance. See Configuring the Power Quality Recorder in Chapter 7 for more information.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 64

Chapter 3 Operating the EM235/PM335 PRO Device Diagnostics

Device Diagnostics
Device diagnostic messages may appear as a result of the EM235/PM335 PRO built-in
diagnostic tests performed during start-up and device operation.
All diagnostic events are recorded in the device Event log and can be inspected via PAS
(see Viewing the Event Log in Chapter 13). The diagnostics status is also stored in a non-
volatile register, which is not affected by loss of power and may be read and cleared via
PAS, from the RDM, or from a user application. Refer to the EM235/PM335 PRO
communication guides for the diagnostic register address and layout. See Device Diagnostic
Codes in Chapter 20 for the list of diagnostic codes and their meanings.
Device failures are divided into three categories:
1. Non-critical intermittent faults with auto-
reset. They do not cause the device to
restart but may cause temporary
degradation of device functionality,.
These faults are cleared automatically
as the condition that caused the fault
disappears.
2. Non-critical recoverable hardware or
configuration faults with manual reset.
These faults normally cause the device
to restart followed by repairing of the
configuration data. These faults must be
cleared manually via PAS, from the
RDM, or from a user application.
3. A critical unrecoverable hardware or
configuration failure. The reason may be
an unrecoverable sampling failure, or
corruption of the time, the factory device
configuration or the calibration setup
data. A critical error causes the device
to release all its outputs and to stop
normal operation until the faults that
caused the critical error are cleared.
Hardware failures are normally non-critical recoverable faults that do not cause a system
failure but may cause data loss. Hardware failures are often caused by excessive electrical
noise in the region of the device.
A configuration reset may also be a result of the legal changes in the device configuration
whenever other configuration data is affected by the changes made.
In the event of a device fault, check the fault reason and clear the device diagnostics. If the
reason is a time fault, update the device clock. In the event of a configuration reset,
determine the device setup affected by the fault via the event log, and then verify the setup
data.
See Viewing and Clearing Device Diagnostics in Chapter 10, Viewing and Clearing Device
Diagnostics in Chapter 3, and Status Information Display in Chapter 3 on how to inspect and
clear the device diagnostics status.
If the device continuously resets itself or an unrecoverable critical error occurs, contact your
local distributor.
Device Fault Alarm
The EM235/PM335 PRO provides a global "DEVICE FAULT" event flag that is asserted all
the time while one of the non-critical diagnostics events exists. It can be checked from a
Setpoint (see Using Control Setpoints in Chapter 6) to give a fault indication via a relay
output. If the alarm relay is programmed for failsafe mode using inverting polarity, then its
normally closed contacts will be open if either the device looses power or a non-critical
device fault occurs. Note that in the event of a critical system failure, all relay outputs are
automatically released.
NOTE
The IRIG-B time faults may not be masked and may not be cleared externally. If the IRIG-B
time code signal is not provided, set the device time synchronization input to any unused
digital input (see Local Settings in Chapter 6) to avoid fault alarms caused by the IRIG-B
port.

Power Calculation Modes

The power calculation mode option allows you to change the method for calculating reactive and
apparent powers in presence of high harmonics. The options work as follows:
• When the reactive power calculation mode is selected, active and reactive powers are
measured directly and apparent power is calculated as:

S = P 2 + Q2
•
• This mode is recommended for electrical networks with low harmonic distortion, commonly with
THD < 5% for volts, and THD < 10% for currents. In networks with high harmonics, the second
method is preferable.
• When the non-active power calculation mode is selected, active power is measured directly,
apparent power is taken as product S = V x I, where V and I are the RMS volts and amps, and
reactive power (called non-active power) is calculated as:

• N = S2 − P2

When you select an output parameter for the analog output channel, the default engineering scales
are set automatically. They correspond to the maximum available scales. If the parameter actually
covers a lower range, you can change the scales to provide a better resolution on an analog output.

Scaling Non-Directional Analog Outputs

For non-directional analog outputs with a 0-1mA, 0-20mA or 4-20mA current option, you can
change both zero and full engineering scales for any parameter. The engineering scale need not be
symmetrical.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 115

Chapter 6 Configuring the EM235/PM335 PRO General Meter Setup

Scaling Directional Power Factor

The engineering scale for the signed power factor emulates analog power factor meters.
The power factor scale is -0 to +0 and is symmetrical with regard to ±1.000 (-1.000 ≡ +1.000). The
negative power factor is scaled as -1.000 minus the measured value, and non-negative power
factor is scaled as +1.000 minus the measured value. To define the entire power factor range
from -0 to +0, the default scales are specified as -0.000 to 0.000.

Scaling ±1mA Analog Outputs

Programming engineering scales for directional ±1mA analog outputs depends on whether the
output parameter represents unsigned (as volts and amps) or signed (as powers and power factor)
values.
For an unsigned output value, you can change both zero and full engineering scales.
For a signed (directional) value, you should only provide the engineering scale for the +1 mA output
current.
The engineering scale for the 0 mA output current is always equal to zero for all values except the
signed power factor, for which it is set to 1.000 (see Scaling Directional Power Factor above).
The meter does not allow access to the low scale setting if the parameter is directional. Whenever
the sign of the output parameter is changed to negative, the meter automatically uses the full
engineering scale setting for +1 mA with a negative sign.

Scaling Analog Outputs for 0-2 mA and ±2 mA

The 0-1mA and ±1mA current outputs provide a 100% overload, and actually output currents up to
2 mA and ±2mA whenever the output value exceeds the engineering scale you set for the 1 mA or
±1mA.
The output scales for 0-1 mA and ±1 mA analog outputs are programmed for 0 mA and +1 mA
regardless of the required output current range.
To use the entire output range of 2 mA or ±2 mA, set the analog output scales as follows:
• 0-2 mA: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full scale output for uni-
directional parameters, and set the 0 mA scale to the negative full scale and
the 1 mA scale to zero for bi-directional parameters.
• ±2 mA: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full-scale output for both uni-
directional and bi-directional parameters.
For example, to provide the 0 to 2 mA output current range for Volts measured by the meter in the
range of 0 to 120V, set the 1 mA scale to 60V; then the 120V reading will be scaled to 2 mA.

expression based on measured analog and digital values that produces a required action.
The EM235/PM335 PRO provides 64 control setpoints with programmable operate and release
delays. Each setpoints evaluates a logical expression with up to four arguments using OR/AND
logic. Whenever an expression is evaluated as “true”, the setpoints performs up to four concurrent
actions that can send a command to the output relays, increment or decrement a counter, or trigger
a recorder.
To program the setpoints, select General Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the
Control/Alarm Setpoints tab.

The logical controller provides very fast response to events. The scan time for all setpoints is 1/2
cycle time (8 ms at 60Hz and 10 ms at 50 Hz).
Setpoints #1 is factory preset to provide standard periodic data logs on a 15-minute time basis. It is
linked to the device clock and runs Data logs #1 and #2 at 15-minute boundaries of an hour.

Using Logical Expressions

Logical operators OR/AND are treated in a simplified manner. They have no specific priority or
precedence rules.
Any trigger condition bound to the logical expression by the OR operator and evaluated as “true”
overrides any preceding condition evaluated as “false”. Similarly, any trigger condition evaluated as
“false” and bound by the AND operator overrides any condition evaluated before it as “true”.
To avoid confusion, it is recommended not to alternate different logical operators in one expression.
Instead, bring all conditions that use the same logical operator together at one side of the
expression, and the others - at the opposite side.
To explicitly override all other conditions with the critical trigger, put it at the end of the expression
using the OR operator if you want the setpoints to be operated anyway when the trigger condition is
asserted, and with the AND operator, if the setpoints should not be operated while the critical
trigger is not asserted.

Using Numeric Triggers

For numeric (analog) triggers, a setpoints allows you to specify two thresholds for each trigger to
provide hysteresis (dead band) for setpoints operations. The Operate Limit defines the operating
threshold, and the second Release Limit defines the release threshold for the trigger. The trigger
thresholds are always specified in primary units.
If you use relational operators as “<=” (under or equal) or “>=” (over or equal), always specify a
correct Release Limit for the trigger. If you do not want to use hysteresis, set the Release Limit to
the same as the Operate Limit.
With the “Delta” operator, the setpoints is operated when the absolute value of the difference
between the last reported value and the current value exceeds the specified threshold

Using Binary Triggers

Binary (digital) triggers, as digital inputs, relays, or internal static and pulsed events, are tested for
ON (closed/set) or OFF (open/cleared) status. Min/Max log parameters can be tested for a NEW
event that is asserted when a new minimum or maximum value is recorded for the parameter since
the last time it was checked.
The binary events are divided into two types: static events and pulsed events. Static events are
level-sensitive events. A static event is asserted all the time while the corresponding condition
exists. Examples are digital inputs, relays and internal static events generated by the device
diagnostics, metering procedures, and Power Quality and Fault recorders.
Pulsed events are edge-sensitive events with auto-reset. A pulsed event is generated for a trigger
only once when a positive transition edge is detected on the trigger input. The examples of pulsed
events are pulse inputs (transition pulses on the digital inputs), internal pulsed events (energy
pulses and time interval pulses), and events generated by the interval timers. The logical controller
automatically clears pulsed events at the end of each scan, so that triggers that used pulsed events
are prevented from being triggered by the same event once again.

Using Event Flags and Virtual Relays

The PM335 PRO has 16 common binary flags, called event flags, which can be individually set,
cleared and tested through setpoints or remotely.
Event flags can be used in different applications, for example, to transfer events between setpoints
in order to expand a logical expression or a list of actions that have to be done for a specific event,
or to remotely trigger setpoints actions from the SCADA system or from a PLC.
In the same way, any of the 32 device relays that is not actually present in your device (it is called a
virtual relay) can be used to transfer events from one setpoints to others, or to indicate events to
the setpoints from the external system.

Using Interval Timers

The PM335 PRO has 16 interval timers that are commonly used for periodic recording of interval
data at the time of the fault or in the presence of other events detected by setpoints. Some of the
timers are factory preset for use with the Power Quality and Fault recorders, and others can be
programmed to generate periodic events at user-defined intervals (see Using Periodic Timers).
Interval timers are not synchronized with the clock. When you run a timer, it generates a pulsed
timer event that can trigger a setpoints if you have put the timer into a list of the setpoints triggers.
When the setpoints event is asserted, the timer is restarted, and then generates the next timer
event when the timer interval expires.
If you want to record interval data at predefined intervals without linking to other events, just select
a timer as a setpoints trigger and specify in the setpoints actions list a data log file you want to use
for recording. If you want the periodic data to be recorded in presence of a specific event, select
triggers that identify your event, and then add the timer at the end of the trigger list using the AND
operator.

Using Time Triggers

If you want the setpoints actions to be synchronized with the clock, for example, to provide
synchronous recording interval data each 15 minutes or each hour, or to output time pulses through
relay contacts, use the time triggers that generate static events synchronized to the device clock.
You can exercise the default setting for Setpoints #1 in your device as an example of using time
triggers. The setpoints is pre-programmed for data profiling at 15-minute intervals using data logs
#1 and #2.

Using the Voltage Disturbance Trigger

The voltage disturbance trigger (found under the VOLT DISTURB name in the SPECIAL INPUTS
trigger group) detects all types of the voltage waveshape faults on any phase caused by fast
transient voltages. You can use it to record disturbances if you want to do this differently from the
way the Power Quality recorder does it.
The operate threshold for the voltage disturbance trigger defines the maximum allowable voltage
deviation from a steady-state level above which the device declares a waveshape fault. It is
specified as a percent of the nominal voltage. Using PAS you may select volts units or % of nominal
voltage from the “Preferences” tab in the “Tools/Options dialog (see Voltage Disturbance Units in
Chapter 13). The trigger does not respond to slow voltage variations whenever the voltage rise
above or drop below the specified threshold takes longer than 1 cycle time.

EM235/PM335 PRO Advanced Power meter 121

Chapter 6 Configuring the EM235/PM335 PRO General Meter Setup

Delaying Setpoints Operations

Two optional delays can be added to each setpoints to extend monitoring setpoints triggers for a
longer time before making a decision on whether the expected event occurred or not. When a delay
is specified, the logical controller changes the setpoints status only if all conditions are asserted for
a period at least as long as the delay time.
Although a delay can be specified with a 1-ms resolution, the actual value is aligned at a lower 1/2-
cycle time boundary.
Note that you cannot use delays with pulsed events since they are cleared immediately and do not
longer exist on the next setpoints scan.

Using Setpoints Events and Actions

When a setpoints status changes, i.e., a setpoints event is either asserted or de-asserted, the
following happens in your device:
The new setpoints status is logged to the setpoints status register that can be monitored from the
SCADA system or from a programmable controller in order to give an indication on the expected
event.
The operated setpoints status is latched to the setpoints alarm latch register, which is remotely
accessible. The register holds the last setpoints alarm status until it is explicitly cleared.
Up to four programmable actions can be performed in sequence on setpoints status transition when
a setpoints event is asserted.
Generally, setpoints actions are performed independently for each setpoints and can be repeated a
number of times for the same target. The exceptions are relay operations, data logging and
waveform logging that are shared between all setpoints using an OR scheme for each separate
target.
A relay output is operated when one of the setpoints linked to the relay is activated and stays in the
operated state until all of these setpoints are released (except for latched relays that require a
separate release command to be deactivated).
Data logging and waveform logging directed to the same file are done once for the first setpoints
among those that specify the same action, guaranteeing that there will not be repeated records
related to the same time.

Recording Setpoints Events

Time-tagged setpoints events can be recorded both to the Event log, and to the Sequence-of-
Events log files if you put corresponding actions into the setpoints action list.
If you link a setpoints to the Sequence-of-Events recorder, all setpoints transition events are
recorded to the Sequence-of-Events log by default. If you select to record setpoints operations into
the Event log, define in the action target box which transition events you want to be recorded: when
the setpoints is operated, when it is released, or both events. The Event recorder puts into a log file
a separate record for each active trigger caused a setpoints status transition, and a separate record
for each action done on the setpoints activation (except for logging actions that are not recorded to
the Event log).
If you run a number of recorders from the same setpoints action list, it is recommended that you put
the Event log action before others in order to allow other recorders to use the event sequence
number given to the event by the Event recorder.

Cross Triggering Setpoints

When a setpoints is operated, the device sends a broadcast UDP message across the network
using one of the sixteen triggering channels. All devices that have a setpoints programmed to
respond to this trigger act in response. The cross triggering delay is normally less than one cycle
time.
To send a cross triggering message, put an “EXT TRIGGER” action into the setpoints actions list
and select one of the sixteen triggering channels as a target. In all devices, which you want to
respond to this message, select an “EXT TRIGGER” group in the setpoints triggers list and specify
the channel through which the device would receive messages.

Clock Synchronization
Time GPS IRIG-B, ----- The external port receiving the time
synchronization SNTP, synchronization signal. If no external
input DI1-DI26(digital synchronization is used, set this option to
input 1-26) IRIG-B: when a signal is not present, the
PM335 PRO automatically uses internal RTC
clock for time synchronization.

Time Synchronization Source

The PM335 PRO receives the time synchronization signal either from a GPS clock having an IRIG-
B time-code output, or from an external device giving a pulse at the beginning of the minute. If the
IRIG-B option is selected but the IRIG-B signal is not present on the device input, the PM335 PRO
automatically uses its internal RTC clock.

Using the IRIG-B

To use the IRIG-B input, select the GPS IRIG-B option and connect the GPS master clock to the
IRIG-B BNC connector on the front of the PM335 PRO IRIG-B Module.
When the IRIG-B signal is present on the device input, the PM335 PRO automatically synchronizes
its clock with the GPS time each second, normally with accuracy better than 1 millisecond if the
time is locked to the GPS satellite time. If the GPS clock loses the satellite signal, the clock
continues to generate the IRIG-B time code referenced to the last available satellite time, but the
time quality may get worse. Such signal losses can last from a few minutes to hours. During such
outages the time code generated by the GPS receiver is typically accurate to within a few
milliseconds over a 24-hour period.
If the IRIG-B signal is lost, the PM335 PRO changes the time synchronization source to the internal
RTC in 5 minutes. When the IRIG-B signal is restored, the device automatically acquires the GPS
time.
If the IRIG-B signal is lost or time code quality changes (locked to the GPS satellite time or
unlocked), the corresponding events are automatically recorded to the device Event log.

Using SNTP
Enable SNTP client operation and configure it if required (see Setting-Up SNTP Client).
When an SNTP server is not available or when a connection with a server is restored, the
corresponding event is automatically recorded to the device Event log.

Using External Minute Pulses

External time synchronization pulses are delivered through one of the PM335 PRO digital inputs. If
the digital input is selected as the time synchronization source, the external pulse’s edge adjusts
the device clock at the nearest whole minute. The time accuracy is affected by the debounce time
programmed for the digital input, and by the operation delay of the external relay.

Chapter 7 Configuring Recorders

The EM235/PM335 PRO is equipped with a 16GBytes onboard non-volatile memory for data, event
and waveform recording.
Before using recorders, the device memory must be partitioned between log files. The device
memory is fully configurable; you can define how much memory to allocate for each log file. If you
want to change the factory settings, follow the guidelines in the section below.

Configuring Device Memory

The PM335 PRO memory can be partitioned for a total of 28 log files:
• Event log
• 16 Data logs
• 8 Waveform logs
• PQ log
To view the device memory settings, select Memory/Log from the Meter Setup menu, and then click
on the Log Memory tab.

Memory is allocated for each file statically and does not change unless you re-organize the files.
The PM335 PRO automatically performs de-fragmentation of the memory each time the file
allocation changes. This helps keep all free memory in one continuous block, and thus prevents
possible leakage of memory caused by fragmentation.
Data log files #15 and #16 may be configured to record TOU monthly profile and TOU daily profile
data on a daily or monthly basis.

By default, the Event recorder stores all events related to configuration changes, reset, and device
diagnostics. In addition, it records events related to setpoints operations. Each setpoints should be
individually enabled for recording to the Event log.
To log setpoints operations, add the “Event log” action to the setpoints actions list. Put the event log
action at the beginning of the list to allow other recorders to use the sequence number assigned to
the event for cross-linking between records logged to different files. When a setpoints event
happens, the Event recorder logs all setpoints conditions that caused the event and all setpoints
actions performed in response to the event.

Configuring the Data Recorder

The Data recorder is programmable to record up to 16 data parameters per record in each of 14
data log files (TOU Monthly Profile & TOU Daily Profile data log files may include up to 9
parameters). The list of parameters to be recorded to a data log is configured individually for each
file.

TOU Profile Data Log Files

Data log files #15 and #16 are configurable to store the TOU monthly profile log and the TOU daily
profile log respectively.
A TOU profile log file is organized as a multi-section file that has a separate section for each TOU
energy and maximum demand register. The number of sections is taken automatically from the
Summary/TOU Registers setup (see Configuring Summary and TOU Registers in Chapter 8). Since each
TOU energy register has a shadow maximum demand register, the number of sections in the file is
twice the number of the allocated TOU registers.
In order to correctly allocate the memory space for TOU profile log files, assign TOU registers
before you set up your TOU profile log files.
To configure a TOU daily profile log file:
1. Configure your TOU registers and TOU
schedule before allocating memory for a profile
log file (see Configuring Summary and TOU
Registers in Chapter 8).
2. Select Memory/Log from the Meter Setup
menu, and then click on the Log Memory tab.
3. Double click on the Data Log #15 or Data Log

Chapter 7 Configuring Recorders Configuring the Waveform Recorder

Configuring the Waveform Recorder

Waveform log files are organized as multi-section files that store data for each recording channel in
a separate section.
A regular waveform log file records up to 7 analog channels simultaneously: seven AC channels
(three voltages and four currents), and up to 26 digital inputs DI1-DI16, DI17-DI32 and DI33-DI48
organized in three sections as three 16-bit analog channels.
A single channel waveform record contains 512 points of the sampled input signal. If a waveform
log is configured to record more samples per event than a single record can hold, the waveform
recorder stores as many records per event as required to record the entire event. All waveform
records related to the event are merged in a series and have the same series number, so they can
be plotted together.
The PM335 PRO supports 8 waveform files that can record waveforms at four programmable
sampling rates: 32, 64, 128 or 256 samples per cycle.
To configure a waveform log file:
1. Select Memory/Log from the Meter Setup
menu, and then click on the Log Memory tab.
2. Double click on a waveform log partition with
the left mouse button.
3. Select a file type for your file.
4. Select the maximum number of records to be
recorded in the file.
The number of records in the waveform log file needed to store one waveform event (series) is
defined as follows:
Number of Records per Series = Sampling Rate (Samples per Cycle) x Number of Cycles per Event
/ 512
The total number of records you must allocate to store the required number of events (series) is
defined as follows:
Number of Records = Number of Records per Series x Number of Series

Figure 7-6: Memory/Log Setup Dialog Box – Waveform Log 7 configure file partition

For example, if you want to record a 64-cycle waveform sampled at a rate of 32 samples per cycle,
the number of records required for one waveform series would be:
Number of Records per Series = (32 x 64)/512 = 4.
If you want to allocate space sufficient to store 20 waveform events (series), you should set up the
waveform log file for 4 x 20 = 80 records.
5. Click OK, and send your setup to the device or
save to the database.

Chapter 7 Configuring Recorders Configuring the Power Quality Recorder

Configuring the Power Quality Recorder

The Power Quality (PQ) recorder identifies the power quality events according to predefined
parameters limits and records them to the log file with the precise start and end timestamps and a
fault magnitude. Impulsive transients and short-duration voltage variations (sags and swells) can
also be viewed as magnitude/duration pairs on the well-known ITIC curve chart for assessing the
minimum equipment immunity.
The PQ recorder can trigger the waveform recorder to record the fault waveforms before, during
and after the PQ event for detailed event analysis. It may be useful for troubleshooting problems
throughout electrical networks, for example, to identify and locate the source of a power quality
event and to select an appropriate solution.

PQ Events Evaluation
The events are classified in accordance with the IEEE 1159 power quality categories. The table
below shows the categories recorded by the device, the metering data used to detect voltage and
frequency faults, their typical triggering thresholds and event durations.
Impulsive transients
Impulsive transients are detected as impulses with a rise time less than 0.5 ms and duration from
80 us to ½ cycle. The impulse magnitude is measured as the overshoot voltage magnitude above
the normal voltage wave shape. It is referenced to the nominal peak voltage (1.414 Un).
Sags and swells
A voltage sag or swell is classified as one polyphase event regardless of the shape and of the
number of phases affected (as per IEC 61000-4-30). An event can begin on one phase and end on
another phase. The fault magnitude is recorded separately for each phase involved. The event
duration is measured from the instant at which the voltage falls/rises below/above the start
threshold on one of the phases to that at which it becomes greater/lower than the end threshold on
all affected phases including a threshold hysteresis.
Voltage Interruptions
The voltage interruption is detected when the voltages on all phases fall below the interruption
threshold (as per IEC 61000-4-30).
Event PQ category Trigger parameter Reference Typical Event
ID value thresholds, % duration
PQE11 Impulsive transients Instantaneous overshoot Un peak 20-200% 80 us–
voltage voltage 10 ms
PQE211 Instantaneous sag ½ cycle RMS voltage Un RMS 80-90% < 30 cycles
PQE212 Instantaneous swell ½ cycle RMS voltage Un RMS 110-120% < 30 cycles
PQE221 Momentary interruption ½ cycle RMS voltage Un RMS 0-10% < 3 sec
PQE222 Momentary sag ½ cycle RMS voltage Un RMS 80-90% < 3 sec
PQE223 Momentary swell ½ cycle RMS voltage Un RMS 110-120% < 3 sec

Chapter 7 Configuring Recorders Configuring the Power Quality Recorder

The Sag, Swell and Interruption triggers use the same waveform and data log options. If you
change one of them, the others are automatically adjusted to the same setting.
The waveform log option allows recording waveforms both at the start and the end of a PQ event.
Since the voltage variations may last from some seconds to minutes, this allows capturing and
analyzing the voltage transitions using short time waveform recording at the start and the end of the
voltage sag or swell.
The data log option allows concurrent recording of the RMS data at a variable rate depending on
the PQ event duration. To reduce the memory consumption for recording long duration events, the
PQ recorder uses different time envelopes (aggregation intervals) for data tracing and changes the
recording rate accordingly. You can specify for each PQ trigger how much time to record data using
one or more time envelopes.
To enable or disable the PQ recorder:
1. Check or uncheck the “Recorder Enabled”
checkbox.
2. Send your setting to the device.

Power Quality Event Indication and Cross Triggering

When the PQ recorder detects a power quality fault, it generates the specific internal event PQ
EVENT that can be monitored through a control setpoints to give a fault indication via relay
contacts. The event can be found under the STATIC EVENTS group in the setpoints trigger list.
The power quality fault signal is used for cross triggering multiple recorders through a dedicated
digital input in order to simultaneously record disturbances at different locations. External triggering
of the Waveform and Data recorders for recording disturbance data can be done through a
setpoints programmed to monitor the status of a digital input. For more information on cross
triggering, see Fault Indication and Cross Triggering.

Chapter 8 Totalization Energy and TOU Registers

The PM335 PRO provides 16 summary energy registers and 16 parallel TOU energy and maximum
demand registers to link to any internal energy source or to any external pulse source that delivers
energy pulses through the device digital inputs.
A total of 64 energy sources can be connected to the summary and TOU registers. Each summary
register can accumulate energies from multiple sources using arithmetic addition and subtraction. A
summary register may be linked to another summary register to provide more comprehensive
energy calculations.
The TOU system provides for each TOU energy register a parallel maximum demand register that
is updated automatically when a corresponding TOU register is activated. The device supports 16
different tariffs using an arbitrary tariff structure.
The PM335 PRO TOU system technique is based on the currently active TOU annual calendar that
assigns the user-selectable daily profile to each day of the year. The TOU daily profiles specify
daily tariff change points. The PM335 PRO memory stores calendars for 10 years. A total of 16
types of days are supported with up to eight tariff changes per day.
By default, the summary registers in your device are not linked to energy sources and are not
operational. To activate a summary energy register, link it to the energy source(s).
To activate TOU system:
1. Configure the TOU daily profiles for different types of days.
2. Configure the TOU calendars.
3. Link the TOU registers to the corresponding summary energy registers
that are used as source registers for TOU system.

1 to 255 and will make impossible configuring IEC 60870-5 in the device
via IEC 60870-5-101 ports.

Remapping Point Addresses and Event Reporting

NOTE:
The process measurement scales for most analog values depend on your external PT and CT
settings and on the voltage and current scales defined in the meter. Configure them in your meter
and save to the device site database before configuring event deadbands. See Basic Setup and
Device Options Setup in the EM133 Installation and Operation Manual on how to configure these
parameters in the meter.
To remap static object point addresses to the configurable address space and to configure
corresponding event objects:
1. Select IEC 60870-5 Setup from the Meter
Setup menu, and then click on the
IEC 60870-5 Mapped Points and Events
Setup tab.
2. Select the desired Network (1 or 2)

Figure 9-5: Protocol Setup Dialog Box – IEC 60870-5 Mapped Points and Events Setup Tab

3. Select an object group and parameter for points you wish to remap.

setup to the device database or sending to the meter all points are
automatically arranged in the order: measured values, single point
objects, double point objects, integrated totals.
4. If you wish to use a static point for reporting events, select a relation
and an operating threshold or a deadband to be used for detecting
events and check the Class 1 box for the point. The following options
are available:
• Delta – a new event is reported when the absolute value of the
difference between the last reported point value and its current value
exceeds the specified deadband value, or the status of a binary point
changes. Measured values with a zero deadband will not be checked
for events;
• More than (over) - a new event is reported when the point value rises
over the specified threshold, and then when it returns below the
threshold minus a predefined return hysteresis – applicable for
measured values;
• Less than (under) - a new event is reported when the point value
drops below the specified threshold, and then when it returns above
the threshold plus a predefined return hysteresis – applicable for
measured values.
Hysteresis of the return threshold for measured values is 0.05 Hz for frequency and 2% of the
operating threshold for other points.
All thresholds/deadbands for measured values should be specified in primary units.
5. Click Save as… to store your setup in the device site database, and
click Send to send the setup to the device.

Configuring Class 2 Data and Counter Transmission

Chapter 9 Configuring Communication Protocols Configuring IEC 60870-5

3. Select object type and specify ranges of

points to be included into interrogation
responses or/and cyclic/spontaneous data
transmission. Only mapped point
addresses and general object addresses
can be used for interrogation and
cyclic/spontaneous transmission
Up to 32 address ranges can be selected. Fill rows in succession without gaps. The first blank row
will be taken as the end of a range list.
NOTE:
Though double point objects occupy two adjacent addresses, always specify the actual number of
requested double points as you define other object ranges.
Class 2 interrogated and cyclic/spontaneous data are always transmitted in the order they are listed
in the setup. If you put ranges of point of the same type at continuous rows, they will be packed
together and transmitted using minimum number of frames.
1. Check the “General Interrog” box for ranges you wish to include into the
general/station interrogation.
2. Select appropriate groups in the “Group Interrog” box for ranges you wish
to include into group interrogation. Each range of points can be allocated
for both global and group interrogation.
3. Check the “Cyclic/Spont.” box for ranges you wish to include into
cyclic/spontaneous data transmission.
Analog and binary data checked for cyclic transmission will be transmitted as cyclic messages. The
IEC 60870-5-104 cyclic data transmission period is configurable via the IEC 60870-5 Options setup.
Integrated totals checked for spontaneous transmission will be transmitted as spontaneous
messages at configurable local counter freeze/transmission intervals.
4. Check the “Local Freeze” box for A and B modes of transmission of
integrated totals with local freeze.
NOTE:
Counters checked for spontaneous transmission without local freeze will be periodically reported at
specified counter freeze/transmission intervals either with the frozen counter values if a remote
freeze command was issued for counters before (mode D of acquisition of integrated totals), or with
the actual counter values for counters that were not frozen.
1. Check the “Freeze with Reset” box for integrated totals for which local
freeze with reset should be applied.
2. Click Save as… to store your setup in the device site database, and click
Send to send the setup to the device.

Configuring the GOOSE Subscriber

The PMX3X/EM235 PRO can be subscribed to messages sent by any GOOSE network device
including both PMX3X/EM235 PRO and non-SATEC devices.
The GOOSE subscriber supports up to 20 subscriptions with up to 16 data elements in each
subscription. The location of the subscribed elements in GOOSE data sets and mapping to the
PMX3X/EM235 PRO internal variables are configurable. The subscription elements are selected
from a publishing device’s ICD/CID file.
The PMX3X/EM235 PRO provides a set of internal variables for mapping external GOOSE data:
a 128-bit binary string composed of 128 binary variables ExtInd1…ExtInd128 of type BOOLEAN
called external indication and intended for mapping single-point BOOLEAN and integer elements
and double-point Dbpos data;
32 variables ExtiVal1…ExtiVal32 of type INT32 for mapping signed and unsigned integer numbers
of any size;
32 variables ExtfVal1…ExtfVal32 of type FLOAT32 for mapping single-precision floating point
numbers.
When the subscriber receives GOOSE message updates, the subscribed data is copied to the
internal variables that can be monitored and recorded in the device like any other measured value.
When the subscriber does not receive updates, or the declared message live time has expired, or
the data set differs from the subscriber setup, the internal variables are zeroed and the non-active
status is indicated in the subscription status.
The subscription status can be monitored from an IEC 61850 client via the GOOSE subscriber
logical nodes CTRL/sbsLGOS1-CTRL/sbsLGOS20, or from a Modbus client application via the
GOOSE subscriber status register (see the PMX3X/EM235 PRO Modbus Reference Guide for the
register location).
To configure the GOOSE subscriber:
1. Select IEC 61850 Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the GOOSE Subscriber
Setup tab.

2. In the Subscription Number box, select the subscription you wish to configure.
3. Click the “Open SCL File” button and open an ICD or CID file for the publishing device you
wish to subscribe to. PAS shows you a list of all datasets linked to GOOSE publisher control
blocks that are found in the ICD/CID file. Check the Subscribe box for the dataset you wish to
subscribe to.

from where you can open another window to examine the waveform in a different view.

You can open all five views together to analyze different properties of the waveform like a wave
shape, waveform disturbance, unbalance, or spectrum. When you move to another waveform
record, all views are updated simultaneously to reflect the changes.
To view overlapped waveforms, click on the button on the local toolbar; to view non-
overlapped waveforms, click on the button.
Waveform data is recorded in series that may contain many cycles of the sampled waveform. A
waveform window displays up to 128 waveform cycles. If the waveform contains more cycles, the
scroll bar appears under the waveform pane allowing you to scroll through the entire waveform.

Viewing an RMS Plot

PAS can show you a cycle-by-cycle RMS plot of the sampled AC waveforms. To open the RMS
view, click on the button. The graph shows the RMS points updated each half cycle.

Viewing a Frequency Plot

To view a cycle-by-cycle frequency plot of the sampled voltage waveforms, click on the button.

Viewing a Spectrum Chart

Click on the button to view a spectrum chart for the selected waveform channel. To change a
channel, click on the window with the right mouse button, select “Channels...”, check the channel
you want displayed, and then click OK. PAS provides voltage, current, active power and reactive
power spectrum charts.
A spectrum is calculated over four cycles of the waveform beginning from the point where the left
marker line is located in the open waveform view. If both waveform views are open, PAS gives the
priority to the overlapped waveform view.

The order of the highest displayed harmonic component is equal to the half sampling rate at which
the waveforms are sampled minus one. If the waveform was sampled at a rate of 256 samples per
cycle, 63 harmonics are available. With 32 samples per cycle, only 15 harmonics are calculated,
while others will be zeros.
PAS can give you indication on whether harmonic levels in the sampled waveforms exceed
compliance limits defined by the power quality standards or local regulations.
To review or change harmonic limits:
1. Click on the spectrum window with the right
mouse button and select “Limits…”.
2. Select a harmonics standard, or select
“Custom” and specify your own harmonic limits.
3. Check the Enabled box to visualize harmonic
faults on the spectrum graph and in harmonic
tables.

Harmonics that exceed selected compliance levels are colored in red on the graph and in the
tables.

Viewing a Spectrum Table

Click on the button on the local toolbar to display the harmonics spectrum in a tabular view for
a selected phase or for all phases together.
The spectrum table shows voltage, current, active power and reactive power harmonic components
both in percent of the fundamental and in natural units, and harmonic phase angles.

To change a phase, click on the window with the right mouse button, select “Options...”, check the
phase you want displayed, and then click OK.

Viewing Phasor Diagrams

The phasor diagrams show you the relative magnitudes and angles of the three-phase voltage and
current fundamental component. All angles are shown relative to the reference voltage channel.

To change the reference channel, click on the waveform window with the right mouse button, select
“Options...”, click on the “Phasor” tab, check the channel you want to make a reference channel,
and then click “OK”.

If you leave the Triangle box checked, PAS connects the ends of the voltage and current vectors
showing you three-phase voltage and current triangles. This is useful when analyzing voltage and
current unbalances.
Phasor diagrams are calculated over one waveform cycle pointed to by the left marker line. As you
move the marker, the phasor diagrams are updated reflecting the new marker position.

Viewing Symmetrical Components

Waveform views have an additional pane at the right where PAS displays the symmetrical
components for voltages and currents, calculated for the point indicated by the left marker line. To
enable or disable the symmetrical components, click on the waveform window with the right mouse
button, select “Options...”, check or uncheck the “Symmetrical components” box on the “Channels”
tab, and then click OK.

Selecting Primary and Secondary Units

Using the Marker Lines

Waveform and RMS panes have two blue dashed marker lines. The left marker indicates the
position from where data is taken to calculate the harmonics spectrum and phasor diagrams, and
also as the starting position for calculating the RMS, average and peak values. The right marker
indicates the end position for calculating the RMS, average and peak values. The minimum
distance between the two markers is exactly one cycle.

To change the marker position, click on the button, or click on the waveform window with the
right mouse button and select Set Marker, and then click on the point where you want to put the
marker. You can drag both markers with the mouse, or use the right and left arrow keys on your
keyboard to change the marker position. Click on the waveform pane to allow the keyboard to get
your input before using the keyboard.

Using a Zoom
You can use a horizontal and a vertical zoom to change size of your waveforms. Use the buttons
on you local toolbar representing green arrowheads to zoom in or out of the
waveform graph. Every click on these buttons gives you a 100-percent horizontal or 50-percent
vertical zoom. Two buttons give you a proportional zoom in both directions.
When in the overlapped waveform view, you can zoom in on a selected waveform region. Click on
the waveform window with the right mouse button, click 'Zoom', point onto one of the corners of the
region you want to zoom in, press and hold the left mouse button, then point to another corner of
the selected region and release the mouse button.

Delta Measurements
To measure the distance between two waveform points, click on the Delta button , then click on
one point, and then click on the second point. The first reference point is still frozen until you close
and reopen Delta, while the second point can be placed anywhere within the waveform line. You
can measure a delta in both directions. To disable the Delta, click on the Delta button once again.

Chapter 13 Viewing Files On-line Viewing Synchronized Waveforms

Viewing Synchronized Waveforms

If you have a number of devices with synchronized clocks, you can view waveforms recorded at
different locations in one window. PAS can synchronize the time axes for different waveforms so
they could be displayed in a single plot.
To get synchronized waveforms:
1. Put the databases with waveforms into the
same folder, or put the sites from which you
uploaded data to the same group in the sites
tree.
2. Open a waveform you want to synchronize with
other waveforms, and then click on the Multi-
site View button . PAS searches for time-
coordinated waveforms that have the same
time span as your selected waveform.
3. Check the sites your want to see displayed.

4. Click on the “Channels” button and select

channels for each site.
5. Click OK.
To change the channels, click on the waveform window with the right mouse button and select
“Channels...”.
Sometimes, it is useful to review a particular piece of historical data on-line at the time you expect
new events to appear in the log. PAS allows you to retrieve historical data from a particular log
without storing it to a file. The data appears only in the window on your screen. You can save it
manually to the database.
To view the log data on-line, check the On-line button on the PAS toolbar, select the log you
want to retrieve in the Logs menu, and then click on the Poll button . Only new log records are
retrieved from the device. If you want to review the entire log from the beginning, click on the
Restore log button , and then click on the Poll button .

NOTE
When reading multi-section profile data, only the first section is available for reading online.
See Chapter 9 Viewing Files for information on using different log views.

Chapter 13 Viewing Files On-line Archiving Files

Archiving Files
Microsoft Access databases tend to grow fast. Databases above 0.5 Gigabytes can drastically slow
down file operations.
To avoid enormous growing files, you can either periodically change the target database, or use the
Upload Scheduler’s file archiver to automatically move older data to archives.
The Upload Scheduler archives files upon a weekly, monthly or yearly schedule. When archiving
data, a new database is created to where older data from your present database with the expired
archiving date is moved.
An archive file keeps the original database name to which the date of the oldest database record is
added, so you can easily identify your archives and work with them as you work with a regular
database.
To provide a schedule for archiving files:
When defining a schedule for uploading
files from your meter, click on Configure
or double click on the site row.
Click Auto Archive.

Check the Enable box and select a

periodic schedule for archiving your files
for this site.
Click OK.
To avoid archiving partially updated data, archiving is performed in a day after expiring a scheduled
period and not before 2 hours a.m.

average value to a 3-phase average.
NOTE
Designations of some enginering demands and billing energy and demand registers are shown
using a short name notation available in PAS V1.4. By default, PAS uses long names compatible
with older versions of PAS. You can select a desired notation from the Tools/Options/Preferences
tab.
PAS does not allow to store data in files using different data names. If you have a file uploaded with
a previous version of PAS using long data names, either continue using long data names, or store
data in a new file.

Chapter 19 Data Scales

The maximum values for volts, amps and power in the PM335 PRO setup and in communications
are limited by the voltage and current scale settings. See Device Options in Chapter 4 on how to
change the voltage and current scales in your meter.
The following table shows the meter data scales.
Table 28: Data Scales Values

Scale Conditions Range

Maximum voltage All configurations Voltage scale × PT Ratio, V 1
(V max)
Maximum current (I max) All configurations Current scale × CT Ratio, A 2, 3
Maximum Power 4 Wiring 4LN3, 3LN3, 3BLN3 V max × I max × 3, W
Wiring 4LL3, 3LL3, 3BLL3, 3OP2, 3OP3, 3DIR2 V max × I max × 2, W
Maximum frequency 25, 50 or 60 Hz 100 Hz
400Hz 500 Hz
1 The default voltage scale is 144V. The recommended voltage scale is 120V+20% = 144V for
using with external PT’s, and 690V+20% = 828V for a direct connection to power line.
2 CT Ratio = CT primary current/CT secondary current
3 The default current scale is 2 × CT secondary (2.0A with 1A secondary and 10.0A with 5A
secondary).
4 Maximum power is rounded to whole kilowatts. With PT=1.0, it is limited to 9,999,000 W.
