Instruction for the
Cutler-Hammer Type MPCV
Network Protection Relay
Operated Network Interface) for interfacing to the INCOM
network. An IBM XT or AT compatible personal computer can
alternatively use the CONI (Computer Operated Network
Interface) for interfacing to the INCOM network. The CONI's
direct PC-bus interface provides a more efficient network
interface than the MINT.
System Connection
The connection between the master PC (as Device Server)
and the relays can be accomplished using:
1. Hardwire connection — shielded twisted pair network
cable, IMPACABLE or equivalent.
2. Wireless modem.
3. Dial-up connection through telephone line.
4. Ethernet (LAN or WAN).
5. Fiber optic cable.
System Software
The Cutler-Hammer PowerNet software has been developed
by Eaton to provide control of network protectors from
a personal computer while simultaneously monitoring power
quality and operating conditions, relay and network protector
status in real time.
The software is a user-friendly Microsoft
Windows
based
program that can run on any IBM compatible PC using
Windows 2000. The minimum hardware requirements are:
1. 133 MHz Pentium microprocessor.
2. 32 MB RAM (64 MB recommended).
3. 2 GB Hard disk with 650 MB free space.
4. VGA (or higher) resolution monitor.
5. CD-ROM for CD-ROM installation.
6. High-density, 3.5-inch disk drive.
Monitoring
PowerNet provides energy management, operational
and equipment status information and offer the user the capa-
bility of:
1. Real-time information.
2. Data printout.
3. Internal environment of the network protector enclosure.
4. Vault environment.
Control
PowerNet provides multiple network protectors controlled
from a remote location and allows the user the capability of:
1. Close or trip the network protector relay contacts.
2. Change relay set points.
Alarm Detection and Notification
PowerNet provides the user the capability of:
1. Receiving an alarm in real time when an established
parameter of a monitoring function is reached or
exceeded. An alarm condition is displayed immediately
on the PC screen with audible sound.
2. Identifying the vault or feeder that had caused the alarm.
3. Determine what alarm has been triggered and on
what location.
The Automatic Pager feature can also alert essential
personnel that a monitored parameter has registered
outside the predefined limits.
Event Trending
PowerNet provides historical data of the relay showing the:
1. Time of event
2. Description of relay response
3. Details of event
4. Alarm type
Waveform Capture
PowerNet provides a snapshot of metering and power
quality data at the time of capture. The user can view and
upload captured waveforms that include:
1. Three network voltages
2. Three transformer voltages
3. Three network currents
The waveform data can be displayed in multiple views based
on the device capture settings showing:
1. Up to eight cycles of actual waveform.
2. Zoomed-in view of high speed waveform samples.
3. Spectrum chart showing frequency content and
magnitude.
