s PQTSoft Remote in brief

PQTSoft Remote has been conceived to program PQT-90 by means of a data transmission from the PC to the instrument via RS232 or RS485 serial interface. The choice between one interface or the other is therefore very important for the correct operation of the instrument as shown by the following figure:

Example: if the CT (current transformer) primary has a current of 300A and the secondary a current of 5A, the CT ratio corresponds to 60 (that results from: 300/5). [4] Selects the value of the VT (voltage transformer) ratio. Example: if the VT primary connected to the instrument is 20kV and the secondary is 100V, the VT ratio corresponds to 200 (resulting from 20000/100). [5] Selects the serial address of the instrument when the latter is part of a network of instruments. [6] Selects the type of electrical system.

[3] Set the amount of the input pulse (pulse/m3 ex.: if the value 10 has been set, then 10 input pulses will be required for the following gas metering: 1m3). [4] Enables digital input A2 (input 2 of the digital input module installed in slot A of PQT-90); [5] Choose digital input A2 working mode: Water meter, Day, night tariff of the gas meter or kvarh- meter. [6] Set the amount of the input pulse (pulse/m3 ex.: if the value 10 has been set, then 10 input pulses will be required for the following metering: 1m3). [7] Enables digital input C1 to the function of kWh meter, C2 to the function of kvarh meter; [8] Set the amount of the input pulse (pulse/kWh, kvarh ex.: set the value 10: 10 input pulses will be necessary for the energy metering of 1kWh, 1kvarh). The input pulses C1
activate the relevant check boxes. [2] Selects the value of the Range parameter of the digital filter. [3] Selects the value of the coefficient factor of the digital filter. Example: the value of the VL-N variable fluctuates between 222V and 228V and it is therefore necesarry to stabilize it. The parameters of the digital filter must be set as follows: RANGE: the variable has fluctuations within the average value whose amplitude is equal to 1,3% of the rated value of the variable itself (where 1.3% results from (228-222)/ 2= 3V, then 3*100/231V= 1.3%; 231V being the rated phase-neutral value of a 400V input). The range parameter is the action range of the digital filter and it is set at a value slightly higher than the percentage amplitude of the fluctuation: e.g. 1.5%.

COEFFICIENT: if the new value acquired by the instrument is within the action range of the filter, then the new displayed value will result from the sum of the previous value (A) to the variation (B) divided by the filtering coefficient (C), that is: [(A) + (B/C)]. As a consequence, a value higher than this coefficient, will result in a higher settling time and therefore a higher stability. Generally, the best result will be obtained by setting the filtering coefficient to a value equal to at least 10 times the value of the range parameter. In the example above: 1.5*10=15. To improve the stability, the filtering coefficient can be increased: the admitted values are within 1 and 255.

[1] Select the variables to be logged (Max8) activating the relevant check boxes. [2] Select if, in addition to the logging of the average values of the variables, PQT-90 is required to log also the min and max values in the time interval. [3] Select the value of the logging time interval (from 1 to 60 min.) During the measurement, the instrument takes samples of the selected variables every 200ms approx; at the expiry of the set time interval, the instrument calculates the average of the samples and carries out the data logging. The historical value will therefore be guaranteed to be highly accurate. [4] Selects the dmd (W-VA-var-PF) calculation method between FIXED and FLOATING.

The WINTER and SUMMER time periods are conventional seasons mainly used to manage in the best way the different energy costs during the year. The reminds at steps a), b), c) d) on page 20 are also valid for the MULTI TARIFF function. In the SINGLE TARIFF, only one period exists, referred to the whole year. In the DUAL TARIFF, the year can be divided into two periods: whole year and holidays. In the multitariff, the year can be divided into 3 periods: winter, summer and holidays.

erated by the measured value (max. input value). Min. output value: value expressed as % of the zero of the output range (0-20mA, 0-10V, etc.) that is generated by the minimum measured value (min. input value). Example 1: to measure a consumed power up to 100kW and retransmit it with a signal from 4 to 20mA, the module to be used is AO1026 (2x from 0 to 20 mA) or AO1050 (1x from 0 to 20mA); the instrument is to be set-up as follows: Variable: W (active system power) max. input value: 100.0 kW; min. input value: 0.0 kW; max output value: 100.0% corresponds to 20mA, then: (100*max. output)/fullscale output=100*20mA/20mA =100% Min. output value: 20.0% corresponds to 4mA, resulting from: (100* min. output) / fullscale output= 100*4mA/20mA= 20% Example 2: to measure both the consumed power (up to 100KW) and the generated power (up to -100kW), and retransmit it with a signal from -10 to +10V, the module to be used is AO1033 (2x 10VDC) or AO1057 (1x 10VDC). The parameters can be setup as follows: Variable: W (system active power) Max. input value: 100.0 kW; Min. input value: -100kW; Max. output value: 100.0% corresponds to 10V, then: (100*max. output)/ fullscale output = 100*20V/20V=100%. Min. output value: 0.0% corresponds to -10V, then: (100* min. output)/fullscale output= 100* 0V/20V= 0%; in this case also the total excursion of the analogue output is to be considered, therefore from -10V to +10V=20V As a consequence, when the power is -100kW, the output will be -10V, when the power is 0, the output will be 0V and when the power is 100kW the output will be +10V. Example 3: the whole range of the values admitted for the
variable PF corresponds to values between C 0.00 and L 0.00 (for each phase) which, after retransmission, will be respectively 0 and 20mA. When PF is equal to 1 (since it is in the middle of C 0.00 and L 0.00), the output will be equal to the centre of its scale, that is 10mA. As a consequence, the instrument is to be setup as follows: Variable: PF L1 (or L2 or L3); Max. input value: L 0.001: the max input value will correspond to C if its sign is negative and to L if its sign is positive. Min. input value: C 0.000; the min input value will correspond to C if its sign is negative and to L if its sign is positive. Max output value: 100%; Min. output value: 0.0% The min. input value to be set for L is 0.001 to avoid any undesired variations of the analogue outputs.

s Data logging operating principle and duration

The data logging duration depends on the number of variables that you want to log (from 1 to 8), from the selected integration time (from 1 to 60 minutes) and from the activation, if any, of the max./min. logging for each time interval. The following table simplifies the duration of the data logging according to the selections. The datum logged in the selected time interval (ti as shown in the graph below) results from the continuous average of the measured values (samples). The average value is calculated with an interval of approx. 200 ms between two subsequent measurements (samples); as a result, the historical data value will be extremely accurate.

s How to use SMS messages

Once the instrument is enabled to send and receive SMS messages, the user may ask the instantaneous variables, the last available variables in the data logging, the energy meters and the alarm status. The table on next page identifies the codes to be entered in the mobile phone in order to obtain the desired information. Generic message to be sent to the instrument: PQT. [instruments password]. [code of required information]; then confirm the message and send it (follow the instructions given by your mobile phone). xxx: access password to read the variables via SMS messages. Log1...Log8: last integrated variables stored in the flash memory (variables can be read only after programming them and enabling them). Example: in order to ask information on the dmd variables, enter the following text: PQT.255.DMD; the reply will be: PQT.255: 12.45KWdmd, 16.04KVA dmd, 3.45kvar dmd, 0.79PF avg (where 255 is the password preset in the instrument).

The variables measured by the instrument are correct if the inputs have been connected according to the right polarities (see figure below). Should the connection not be conforming to the right polarities, measuring and retransmission errors may occur, both due to the wrong direction of the current flowing in the primary/secondary of the ammeter transformer being connected.
s What is ASY
The ASY variable allows you to control the asymmetry of the delta voltages (for systems without neutrals) and star voltages (for systems with neutral). The variable is calculated as follows:
where the first formula is to be applied to delta systems, while the minimum value calculated between the two is to be used for the star systems.

s The software in brief

The PQTSoft Network has been developed for the data transfer from the instrument (PQT90) to the PC. The data download from PQT90 to the PC allows the reading and saving of the values logged in the 2MB memory of PQT; the values can be saved as an Excel table. The PQTSoft Network has been mainly developed to automatically download the values logged in the PQT; it is therefore necessary to configure first of all the automatic data download dialog boxes. The data transfer can be carried out in various modes: it depends if the PQT is part of a local or of a remote network of instruments. The figure on the following page shows the possible communication modes and the correct selection to be made in the PQTSoft Network.
