The PQSCADA (Power Quality Management Software Suite), empowers the BLACKBOX device series with an unparalleled data recording capability providing the most accurate detection and isolation of all PQ anomalies for the diagnosis & effective maintenance of equipment. Zoom in from a year’s worth of continuously recorded data to less than a millisecond in order to identify power quality details for over 10,000 parameters. Simplify troubleshooting with full management & control over time synchronized data from any number of BLACKBOX devices, within a particular site or across many sites. The PQSCADA & associated Investigator Software Applications offer a wide range of options & adaptations for configuration making it extremely versatile to meet the needs & requirements of individual users.

The PQSCADA PQ software has been designed to specifically manage all aspects of PQ data. The software forms the heart of the BLACKBOX device series & may be connected to an infinite number of devices. The flow of PQ data can be described as follows: |
DOWNLOAD PQSCADA collects all waveform data that has been continuously recorded in the compressed PQZIP file format; |
PROCESS The data is processed and organized for quick access and storage. A wide range of electrical parameters are then calculated based on the raw PQZIP data. The reorganized PQZIP data, and the calculated parameters with statistics included, are stored and available on the network for later retrieval; |
DELIVER All the electrical information, including event flagging & notifications are delivered over a number of communication gateways. This feature includes report exports in various compatible formats such as COMTRADE, PQDIF, CSV, RTF, HTML, PDF, etc.; |
VISUALIZE Detailed data can be easily analyzed by any number of clients at any location. The Investigator Software provides an immediate, comprehensive and understandable picture of everything that happened within the network; |
PQ MANAGEMENT & DATA ANALYSIS Identify, monitor & analyze the finest PQ Data detail, from trends, Volts, Amps, Hz, events, harmonics, THD, flicker, power, energy, statistics etc. With the PQZIP Upload Manager, all PQ Data is rapidly uploaded & retrieved in PQZIP compressed file format to any remote server in a manageable database storage. |
FULL AUTOMATION 1. PARAMETER EXPORTS: This feature makes the BLACKBOX highly compatible enabling users to share PQ data with other users or SCADA systems. Exports are available in CSV / Excel /PQDIF/COMTRADE file formats. PQ data may include user-selected parameters, based either on events/schedule, at any desired resolution; 2. AUTOMATED REPORT GENERATOR: The automated report generator, generates a wide range of PQ Reports & can also be based on customized PQ Compliance configurations; 3. ENERGY REPORTS: This function combines the TOU configuration output file (produced by the TOU configuration utility) with the amount & makeup (Active or Reactive) of the Net Energy (Received – Delivered) produced/consumed by a site in order to calculate the energy produced/consumed in a TOU calender report profile; 4. AUTOMATIC NOTIFICATIONS: Easily set requirements or parameters for automatic notifications on any electrical event. These notifications can be sent via a variety of communication means: E-Mail, SMS, Pop-Ups etc; 5. DEVICE FIRMWARE & CONFIGURATION UPDATES: This function is mainly used to automatically update a large number of BLACKBOX devices within a network. The tasks automatically updates the devices via the PQSCADA with any Firmware / Configuration files; |
RESCUE TOOLS
|
SYNCHRONIZED MONITORING FOR THE ENTIRE GRID A unique time synchronization algorithm assures that logged data from multiple units is synchronized & displayed on the same time scale with typical 0.1 ms resolution. Every event on a grid is accurately analyzed for precise root cause analysis, behavior propagation, and traced to its source; |
The PQSCADA is equipped with an integrated security module for full IT security management from the administrator, operator to the viewer of PQ data. |
BENEFITS
The security is easily managed by using the User Manager Module & include user accounts such as: |
ADMINISTRATION Account reserved for major administration & all the system functions, including setting security modules, accounts, system upgrades, report engine, server setups & configurations; |
