Setting up the PF Lock

Internationally, capacitive loading is permitted, to varying extents, in tariff
metering. This is done by locking the accumulation of selected energy
parameters, while the load power is capacitive. The EM72xx smart demand
controller handles this situation with power factor (PF) lock.
In Main>Setup>Meter, PF Lock = 0 by default. The different levels and their
effects are explained below. The levels can be changed using the partial-setup
procedure.
The locking levels and their effects are:
• 0 = None.
• 1 = kVARh is locked.
• 2 = kVARh and kVAh are locked.
• 3 = kVARh, kVAh and DM (kVA) are locked.
If the smart demand controller is not connected with tariff related measurements,
then a lock level of 0 is recommended. In tariff related applications, the local
electricity supply authority will provide the current regulations.
With reference to the four quadrant polarities, the effect of locking on each of the
above parameters is,
• kVARh is accumulated only for quadrant Q1 and Q3.
• KVAh: kVA is clamped to kW (whereas normally kVA > kW) while the system
is in Q4 or Q2, for accumulating kVAh.
• kVA demand (DM): The locked kVA as above is used for demand
computation while in Q4. Note that Q2 is not processed here, since demand
computation is already locked for reverse flow (Q2 and Q3) whether D.PAR is
kW or kVA. This lock is not meaningful, when the D.PAR is kW.
HRB32898–EN10 29
NOTE: Locking has no effect on the computation or display of instantaneous

parameters. It affects only the computation and display of integrated
parameters. Q2 and Q3 energy parameters are also available by default as
the product works for both IE modes.
For PF lock, navigate Main>Setup>Meter>PF Lock. If the Locking Level is re-
programmed, the smart demand controller will re-compute kVARh and kVAh
according to the new locking level. In the smart demand controller, adding or
removing lock level 3 will take 1 to 30 minutes (d.Prd) for demand to approach its
new locked value, and should not be done during critical demand peaks.
Maximum demand (MD) is not re-adjusted.

1. Press ▼ to select PF Lock, then press [Edit] to modify the parameter.

2. Press - or + to scroll through a list of PF Lock values.

◦ Press OK to reach the maximum value of the above parameters.
• In communication, while writing through communication ensure the below
listed parameter values must be within the specified range.
Parameter Description Range
Essential load Essential load allows for critical loads like Numerically 0 to 99% of
Controlled Machines, which cannot be included in the Lower Limit value
load shedding exercise. The Demand Controller ensures of Demand
that this Essential Load will be allowed to run with
minimum interference. Typically, EsLD should be below
10% of Upper Limit. Programming a high value will
unnecessarily advance the load Shed action to protect
the large Essential Load.

above the UL due to the 15 Second Demand Control
cycle. UL should be set around 90% of contract Demand
to start with. The UL setting is used only for Demand
Profile generation.
The Min-Max value depends upon the CT and PT ratio.

The maximum value of Energy UL can be set up to 649
MW/MVA/MVAR.
Lower limit Demand Control Lower Limit (LL) should be set roughly to 10 to 99% of
90% of UL. This determines the point for restoration of Upper limit value
loads.
NOTE: The closer LL is to UL, the more frequent will
be the load shedding cycles, but the loads shed are
likely to be smaller. This suits plants comprising
several small loads. If on the other hand you have a
few large loads, increase the spacing of LL below UL
suitably.
• Power Full scale value = (PT Primary x CT Primary x Sys Config) / 1.732
• Amps Full scale value = CT Primary
NOTE: When a user changes the Demand Upper Limit (UL) and Lower Limit
(LL) values in Demand setup or TOU setup page the change will take effect at
the end of immediate Dm Interval Period (DIP) of that hour (or) the following
tariff, in case of TOU based Dm Control. This will happen in sequence of
whichever is earlier.

Time Of Use (TOU)

TOU Demand Upper & Lower settings can be set through front panel keys. TOU
schedule configuration can be done only through ION Setup.
The time of use (TOU) is a structure where the energy consumption (kVAh, kWh,
kVARh) at different time intervals (user-programmable) can be stored in separate
registers. TOU is very useful where the power tariff changes with time of
consumption.
HRB32898–EN10 41
TOU helps the power utility company to optimize the consumption, throughout the
day and night. Due to higher rates at peak hours and lower rates at off peak hours
the consumers will try to reschedule their processes to off peak hours to reduce
the power costs. This in turn helps the utility to reduce the overload at peak hours
and the wastage of power during the off peak hours.
NOTE: Use ION Setup to configure the software. You can download the
software from www.se.com.

HRB32898–EN10 55
Minimum/Maximum values for real-time readings

When any one-second real-time reading reaches its highest or lowest value, the
smart demand controller saves the values in its non-volatile memory. These
values are called the minimum and maximum (min/max) values.
From the smart demand controller display you can:
• View all min/max values since the last reset and the reset date and time. See
Smart Demand Controller characteristics, page 53 for a list of the minimum
and maximum values stored in the smart demand controller.
• Reset min/max values.
All running min/max values are arithmetic minimum and maximum values. For
example, the minimum phase A-B voltage is the lowest value in the range 0 to 99
kV that has occurred since the min/max values were last reset.
Minimum/Maximum profile
The min/max profile records the high and low values for VA, W, VAR, PF, VLL,
VLN, I, F, and Demand (VA, W, VAR, I). The min and max values levels are from
L1 to L4. The trend of the one second RMS value of the appropriate parameter is
examined for maximum (peaks) and minima’s (troughs). Lead/Lag and Import/
Export polarity is ignored, even if you have not ordered the IE Option. This allows
you to make easy magnitude comparisons. For the F profile, the average
frequency over 20 cycles is used.
When the values are high, it is possible that there will be minima’s recorded when
the values were low. Therefore, it is possible that the L4(max) reading is less than
that of the L4(min) reading. Once the profile is cleared, the profile starts with all
zeros. Normally L1(max) and L1(min) are the first to receive the entries. The other
values continue to get recorded as and when the trend shows maximum and
minima’s. The L2(max), L4(max), L4(min), L3(min), and L1(min) values show zero
until sufficient highs and lows have been detected. A minimum of one hour is
required for all the maximum and minimum of the profile to receive entries. The
smart demand controller forces a minimum gap of 15 minutes between any
maximum or minimum of the same parameter, to prevent sudden filling up of noise
in the profile. Since the internal resolution of the profile is greater than that of the
display, two maximum events or two minimum events will appear when the values
are steady. However, the later event replaces the earlier one.

Demand calculation methods

Demand power is the energy accumulated during a specified period divided by the
length of that period. How the smart demand controller performs this calculation
depends on the method you select. To be compatible with electric utility billing
practices, the smart demand controller provides Block Interval Demand power
calculations.
The default demand calculation is set to a User & RTC Block with a 15 minute
interval.
Block interval demand

In the block interval demand method, you select a “block” of time that the smart
demand controller uses for the demand calculation. You choose how the smart
demand controller handles that block of time (interval). Two different modes are
possible:
• Auto (Sliding) Block. Select an interval from 1 to 30 minutes (in 1-minute
increments). The value is updated every 15 seconds irrespective of demand
period programmed. The smart demand controller displays the demand value
for the last completed interval.
• User & RTC (Fixed) Block. Select an interval from 1 to 30 minutes (in 1-
minute increments). The smart demand controller calculates and updates the
demand at the end of each interval.
Below figure illustrates the two ways to calculate demand controller using the
block method. For illustration purposes, the interval is set to 15 minutes.

Predicted demand
The smart demand controller calculates predicted demand for the end of the
present interval for kW / kVA / Amp demand. This prediction takes into account the
energy consumption thus far within the present (partial) interval and the present
rate of consumption. The prediction is updated every second.
Max Demand
In non-volatile memory, the smart demand controller maintains a running
maximum of power and current demand values, called “Max Demand” The Max is
the highest / average for each of these readings: Wdm, VARdm, VAdm & Idm,
since the last reset. The smart demand controller stores the date and time when
the max demand occurred, as well as the max demand during the last incremental
energy interval.
You can view the old max demand values from the smart demand controller
display, and old max demand occurrence date and time with respect to W, VAR,
VA and I. To view the old demand values, select O.Md.
To reset Max Demand values from the demand controller display, navigate
through Maint > Reset > Password > Max Demand.
To reset all demand values from the demand controller display, navigate through
Maint > Reset > Password > Demand sync.
You should reset max demand after changes to basic smart demand controller
setup, such as CT ratio or power system configuration.
Demand profiles
The demand profile provides the cumulative frequency histogram of demand
values. The profile generates nine levels above and below the programmed level
0, at the spacing programmed by the step size in the setup menu.
At every demand interval (choices 1 to 30 minutes), the highest demand value in
the interval is compared with the 19 Levels. A count of levels, where the demand
value has exceeded, is maintained against each level. Thus, the total count of
demands compared is also maintained.

Power cycle modes

The smart demand controller has different power cycle modes.
• Auto Mode: In Auto mode, demand values are updated and remain constant
for any number of subsequent demand periods.
• User/RTC mode: In User and RTC mode, demand values are updated
appropriately and fall back to zero at the end of the particular demand period.
For next demand period cycle, the demand accumulations start afresh.
NOTE: The demand values update when the load is fluctuating.
Control power interruptions

The control power interruptions during and between Demand Interval Period (DIP)
under Auto, User and RTC modes are described below with illustrations:

HRB32898–EN10 59
• User mode behaviour is similar to RTC mode, but during every power
interruption, the Dm values start afresh irrespective of between and outside
the DIP.
• In Auto mode, Dm values drop off to, or will reach zero.
• The Dm values update appropriately when the load is fluctuating.
Timer offset
Timer offset is caused when user does a Demand sync operation during the
running DIP.
In order to sync the TR with the RTC, user has to:
1. Make changes in Dm setup page.
2. Select Dm control.
3. Save the settings.
4. Go back to the original Dm settings.
Integrator
An Integrator is a register in which all the integrated (energy and time) parameters
like VAh, Wh, VARh, Ah, PF(avg), Vavg., Favg. Run Hours, maximum demand
(PF) etc are accumulated or stored.
Energy readings
The smart demand controller calculates and stores accumulated energy values for
real, reactive, and energy.
You can view accumulated energy from the display. The resolution of the energy
value automatically changes from kVAh to GVAh.
Energy values can be reported over communication as 32-bit float and 64-bit
signed integers. The units for 32-bit float integers are kWh, kVARh, or kVAh and
for 64-bit signed integers are Wh, VARh, or VAh.
The smart demand controller distinguishes the direction of power flow (kW). It
integrates energy parameters kVAh, kWh, kVARh, Ah, PFavg, VLLavg, VLNavg,
Favg during the forward and reverse flow of energy, where Energy parameters
readings accurately reflects the billing.
Import-Export energy parameters are available.
60 HRB32898–EN10
Quadrant based VARh

The meter provides a 4-quadrant based accurate reactive energy metering. These
are available using Modbus communication.
Preset energy values

The smart demand controller provides preset energy feature. This feature helps in
inputting previous energy values in case of a meter replacement or panel change.
Preset energy value cannot be set more than over flow energy value, that is
99999GWh.The preset energy values include:
• Delivered / Import / Forward
• Received / Export / Reverse
• Forward + Reverse
• Forward - Reverse
Timers
RUN hours: Indicates the period the load has been ON and has run. This counter
accumulates as long as the load is ON.
On hours: The period for which the smart demand controller (supply) is ON.
INTR: Number of supply outages, means the number of load outages. The meter
displays forward and reverse interruption counts based on the direction of current
flow.
Previous (Old) readings

The smart demand controller has previous (old) data register, where the last
cleared energy and timer values are stored. The energy and timer values in the
integrator are transferred to the previous (old) register when the reset energy is
cleared (manually/due to overflow).
HRB32898–EN10 61
Thus, the previous (old) energy values are not lost even after the integrator is
cleared and can be viewed with the previous (old) parameter. Remember that the
previous (old) values will be overwritten, when the INTG is cleared next time.
Harmonics
THD
Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is a quick measure of the total distortion present
in a waveform and is the ratio of harmonic content to the fundamental. It provides
a general indication of the “quality” of a waveform. THD is calculated for both
voltage and current.
The smart demand controller uses the following equation to calculate THD:
where,
HC (Harmonic Content) =
H1 = Fundamental Content
Individual harmonic
The smart demand controller gives the power quality measurement parameters.
The power quality parameters measured are individual harmonic distortion% for
V1 V2 V3 / V12 V23 V31, I1, I2, and I3 waveforms.
Harmonics: Percentage of each harmonic divided by fundamental harmonics
where,
Vh = Harmonic Voltage
V1 = Fundamental Voltage
The device measures harmonic distortion from 2nd to 31st level.

The information in Heartbeat/communication LED, page 64 describes potential
problems and their possible causes. It also describes checks you can perform or
possible solutions for each. After referring to this table, if you cannot resolve the
problem, contact your local Schneider Electric sales representative for assistance.
DANGER
• Apply appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and follow safe
electrical practices. For example, in the United States, see NFPA 70E.
• This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified personnel.
• Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside.
• Always use a properly rated voltage sensing device to confirm that all power
is off.
• Carefully inspect the work area for tools and objects that may have been left
inside the equipment.
• Use caution while removing or installing panels so that they do not extend
into the energized bus; avoid handling the panels, which could cause
personal injury.
Heartbeat/communication LED
The heartbeat/communication LED helps to troubleshoot the smart demand
controller.
The heartbeat/communication LED works as follows:
• Normal operation — the LED flashes at a steady rate during normal
operation.
• Communications — the LED flash rate changes as the communications port
transmits and receives data. If the LED flash rate does not change when data
is sent from the host computer, the smart demand controller is not receiving
requests from the host computer.
• Hardware — if the heartbeat LED remains lit and does not flash On and Off,
there is a hardware problem. First check for the display at top left side corner
icon for flash On and Off, perform a hard reset of the smart demand controller
(turn Off power to the smart demand controller, then restore power to the
smart demand controller). If the heartbeat LED remains lit, contact your local
sales representative.
• Control power and display — if the heartbeat LED flashes, but the display is
blank, the display may not be functioning properly or may have timed out (see
Smart demand controller clock setup, page 39). If the control power is
available to the meter, and still the display is blank and the LED is not lit, then
contact your local sales representative.

Power Factor register format EasyLogic™ EM7230 / EM7280 / EM7290
Power Factor register format

Power Factor register format
Each Power Factor (PF) value occupies one floating point register. The smart
demand controller display and ION software interpret the register format in all
reporting or data entry fields according to the Power (active, reactive, and
apparent) Coordinate System Chart. The Power (active, reactive, and apparent)
Coordinate System Chart uses the power factor register value to provide
information on leading or lagging power factor and current, as well as energy
delivered or received.
• Power Factor (PF): The ratio of Active (W) power to Apparent (kVA) power
(i.e. kW/kVA).
• True PF: Includes harmonic content.
• Leading PF: Active and Reactive power flowing in opposite directions.
• Lagging PF: Active and Reactive power flowing in the same directions.
The Power (active, reactive, and apparent) Coordinate System chart quadrants
are based on Active and Reactive power from the point of view of a utility. Whether
or not a connected facility or substation is consuming or providing energy, it is
assumed that the utility considers it the load.
Power Factor (PF) standards
Quadrant IEC IEEE
Quadrant 1 + -
Quadrant 2 - +
Quadrant 3 - -
Quadrant 4 + +
To determine power factor:

1. Get the register value.
2. Use the register value to determine in which quadrant the system is
operating.
NOTE: The Quadrant determines lead/lag for power factor and current.
3. Use the register value to determine the flow of Active power:
a. a positive value indicates Energy Delivered.
b. a negative value indicates Energy Received.
4. Use the register value to determine power factor:
a. if the register value is within -1 to +1, the register value is the power
factor value.
b. if the register value is not within -1 to +1, the power factor value is
derived differently for Energy Delivered/Forward and Energy Received/
Reverse systems.
For example:
• Register value = 0.999: Apparent power is in Quadrant 1, current (I) is
lagging, and energy is delivered by the utility to the customer with a lagging
power factor of 0.999.
• Register value = -0.986: Apparent power is in Quadrant 3, current (I) is
leading, and energy is received by the utility from the customer with a lagging
power factor of 0.986.

command interface (see Using the unprotected command interface, page 73).
• C. In the Parameters register, enter all parameters for a meter command.
• D. The Status register displays 0 when the smart demand controller receives
a command. Once the command is completed, the status register displays
the same value as the command register.
• E. The Result register indicates if the command was successful, and if not,
what error may have occurred.
• F. The Data register displays the executed parameters of a successful
command and the invalid parameters based on data type of an unsuccessful
command.
There are two command interfaces, protected and unprotected, described in the
following sections.
Using the protected command interface

To issue a meter command using the protected command interface, you must
have a command semaphore.
To get a semaphore, read the semaphore Modbus register (see the Command
interface, page 72 section of the online Register list, page 66). The smart demand
controller will return a 0 or a nonzero number.
• If 0 is returned, someone else owns the semaphore. You must wait for the
semaphore to be available before sending a command.
• If a nonzero number is returned, you now own the semaphore. The
semaphore is provided once until it is released or has been inactive for
approximately 4 minutes. Once you have the semaphore, subsequent reads
of the semaphore register will return 0 until you release the semaphore or it
times out.
To send a meter command using the protected command interface:

Command interface EasyLogic™ EM7230 / EM7280 / EM7290
1. Read the semaphore register and record the meter response. This is your
semaphore.
2. Build the packet to be written to the command block.
3. Write the packet as a Modbus block write (enter the command number,
semaphore, and parameters at the same time).
Protected Command Block Example

Command 2039
Semaphore 5
Parameters 1
4. Monitor the meter response registers for validity and completion.
Protected Meter Response Example

Status 2039
Result 0
Data 1
5. Write the semaphore back to the semaphore register to release it for another
master to use.
Using the unprotected command interface

The unprotected command interface allows you to issue a broadcast command to
multiple meters at once. The unprotected command interface ignores the
semaphore register.
Although some applications require the unprotected command interface, it is
recommended that you use the protected command interface whenever possible.
To send a meter command using the unprotected command interface:
1. Build the packet to be written to the command block.
2. Write the packet as a Modbus block write (enter the command number, any
number as the semaphore, and the parameters at the same time).
