Device Events
Downstream devices often report key operating status information that
warrants immediate attention. The PXG600E identifies a set of key status
values for each device and generates “Events” in response to changes in
these status values. An example of a device event is an overcurrent trip on a
circuit beaker.
Events are time stamped and displayed prominently on the home page of
the PXG600E. The PXG600E provides the option for a user to acknowledge
the event, retains the time that the acknowledgement occurred and reports
this in the event log. It is also possible to add a Note at the time of
acknowledgement that will also be reported in the event log. Acknowledging
an event does not close it. An acknowledged event will still display on the
home page. Closing the event will remove it from the home page display.
In addition to displaying events on its home page, the PXG600E reports
events to the Power Xpert Software. These events will then be integrated
with those from across the power system, providing unified enterprise level
event management.
Please refer to the device data map at
www.eaton.com/pxg
for the list of
events that are supported by each device.
User-Defined Events
The PXG600E supports the setting of user-defined events on an individual
device basis. This feature is set via the device configuration page. An
example of a user-defined event would be a Low and High threshold on
Phase A Current for a device. The event threshold values and the event
names can be chosen by the user. These event notices behave in the same
manner as the Device Events described above. Please refer to the device
data map at
www.eaton.com/pxg
for the list of parameters that can be
configured with upper and lower event thresholds.
NOTICE: Time-based parameters cannot be set for user-defined
events as threshold alarming because the parameters hold hours
and minutes of time.
Device Configuration Tabs
The PXG600E allows more flexibility in how you set up and configure your
devices. Use the tabs during device configuration to set up your PXG600E
and devices to better suit your needs:
•
Device polling can be enabled or disabled directly from the device
configuration page
•
Parameter polling can be disabled or enabled from the device
configuration page
•
For Alarm and Event parameters priority or level can be set on each
native, user defined and custom event or alarm
•
The ability to enable and disable trending of individual parameters
