The following additions / modifications were performed since 2002 version:
- Support for General Electric kV2
Multifunction Meter has been added, via the MODBUS RTU
protocol.
- Support for General Electric F60
Feeder Management Relay has been added, via the MODBUS RTU
protocol.
- Remote Client software synchronizes its computer clock with that of the
server (master controller computer) at startup.
- New report in MCDA, Hourly
Totals, calculates hourly totals of data from top of the hour to next
top of the hour.
- LMEX Load Shed
Priority, and schedule Max.
AOT Discrepancy parameters were added. Load shed priority sorting
algorithm was modified.
- Support of Baritek Inc. equipment was
added, including their LMS-1R switch, MRCC, and WSR-4400 RTUs, using MODBUS
RTU protocol.
- Support of Comverge Technologies Inc.
equipment was added, including their RTC, REMS 101/102 switches, 105, 205,
and 206 series load management switches. Support of Comverge equipment is
proprietary, and is on a customer-by-customer basis.
- One-line diagrams
have been added. They allow operators to
graphically draw the system being monitored, and map the components to the
database of I/O points. This makes it possible to model the monitored system
graphically, and view its state in real time. Here are a few shortcut links to
the relevant sections of documentation:
- Sample window showing a small
subsection of one of our customers' systems
- Introduction to
one-line diagrams
- Commands section of user
guide on one-line diagrams (sections on panels and display elements)
- Configuration section
of user guide on one-line diagrams (sections on panels and display elements)
- MODBUS RTU, one of the
industry standard communications protocols ha been standardized in IOEX and
RUEX. NTMC can now 'talk' to any device capable of supporting this protocol.
DNP 3.0, another industry
standard protocol, is in the process of being implemented as well.
- Energy consumption reports
were added to LMEX. The figures can be
generated for all
loads managed by LMEX, or for loads belonging to a
specified metering point. In either case load list is first built
consistent with the MCDA filter in effect at the time, load consumption
figure is listed for each load (again, consistent with the MCDA filter in
effect at the time), and the total load consumption figure is displayed.
- LMEX Secondary Load
Manager now ques secondary load control requests as individual low
priority jobs. In practice this means that most other RUEX activities, such
as remote unit polling, regular control code dispatching, etc., preempt
secondary load control dispatching. The latter is stopped as soon as other higher priority activities are scheduled, and resumes as soon as those
activities are completed. This is analogous to automated meter reading
interruption when higher priority jobs come along.
- Additional LMEX Load
State Reinserting Methods were added. LSR manager now offers the option
of reinserting only loads which were previously operated that same day.
- Full NTMCRDR of MREX meter
dials has been added. Even though meter dials could be recorded previously
via RUEX, MREX now automates the process.
- Energy consumption reports were added to
MREX. The figures can be
generated for all meters managed by MREX, or for meters belonging to a
specified monthly schedule. In either case meter list is first built
consistent with the MCDA filter in effect at the time, energy consumption
figure is listed for each meter (again, consistent with the MCDA filter in
effect at the time), and the total energy consumption figure is displayed.
