Modbus device update times and system performance


This section outlines the Modbus protocol and provides examples of balancing network
configuration with data update times.

6 ENERVISTA INTEGRATOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL


CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MODBUS DEVICE UPDATE TIMES AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

The Modbus protocol is a master/slave transaction where a master device generates a


query and a slave device generates a response. A slave gives a response only when
queried by the master. The time it takes for the device to answer is the "device response
time." The "device update time" is how quickly a queried data set is updated in the master
for that specific device.
Internal processing of the Modbus command by the device takes up the majority of the
device response time. Network baud rates (both serial and Ethernet) account for only a
small percentage of the device response time.
The nature of Modbus is that only one device can be queried at a time on the same
network. For the Modbus RTU protocol, the "same network" is defined as a specific serial
line (RS485/232) and all devices on that line. For Modbus TCP/IP, the "same network" is
defined as a specific IP address (UR, MultiNet, and so on) and the IP port associated with
that IP address.
When there is one device on the "same network," the "device response time" and the
"device update time" are roughly equal.
When there are multiple devices on the "same network," the master must query them one
at a time. For example, a network has devices A, B, and C, and the master needs data from
all three devices. If each device has a "device update time" of one second, the master sees
fresh data from each device every three seconds (1 + 1 + 1 = 3). The more devices on the
network, the longer each "device update time." The more devices on a serial line, the longer
the overall device update time on that line (assuming each device is polled for data).
A complete update cycle on the same network is referred to as "round-robin time."

Modbus TCP/IP versus Modbus RTU


Performance is almost identical, but Modbus TCP/IP has advantages.
Many people assume that Modbus TCP/IP is faster than Modbus RTU due to the fact that it
runs on Ethernet or a TCP/IP network. However, because Modbus TCP/IP follows the same
rules as Modbus RTU, the device update performance is almost identical. The advantage of
using Modbus TCP/IP is related to ease of transport. Use of Ethernet is now almost
ubiquitous and allows easier support compared to a traditional RS485 network. Both
hardware and installation of an Ethernet network are cheaper than serial connections and
can be maintained by a facilities networking group. It also allows flexibility in data access
via intra/inter/extranets. Another advantage is that a device with embedded Modbus TCP/
IP is configured in the Modbus master as a single device on the same network. As
explained, a single device on a single network (serial or IP) has no "round-robin time"
associated with having multiple devices on the same network. Thus a dedicated Modbus
TCP/IP device gives the appearance of a performance gain, but this is derived solely from
the virtue of being a single device on the network. A serial Modbus RTU device has similar
update performance when alone on a serial line.

GE MultiNet or Modbus TCP/IP/RTU bridge


With the industry moving toward Modbus TCP/IP devices and Ethernet in general there is a
need for legacy support of Modbus RTU and RS485 networks. To support these networks
and devices, a Modbus TCP/IP/RTU bridge, such as the GE Multilin MultiNet is required. The
MultiNet converts the Modbus RTU protocol to the Modbus TCP/IP protocol. Once
converted to Modbus TCP/IP, the messages are passed on using the available TCP/IP
network (Ethernet, fiber, and so on).
The biggest difference between a dedicated Modbus TCP/IP device (such as the UR) and a
MultiNet is that the MultiNet can have multiple devices daisy-chained on its RS485 port.
These multi-dropped devices follow the same rule as other multiple devices on the "same

ENERVISTA INTEGRATOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7


MODBUS DEVICE UPDATE TIMES AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

network." If each device is polled for data, a "round robin" occurs. The update time is then
controlled by the number of devices and how many Modbus blocks are needed from each
one.
The following figure illustrates a setup with one meter and three relays. If each device is
polled for registers requiring four separate Modbus blocks, then each device takes 1,000
ms to poll (4 x 250 ms/block). Since there are four devices, the total update time is 4,000 ms
(device1 + device2 + device3 + device4 = 4,000 ms).
Figure 3: Example of configuration with one meter and three relays

Device update times using EnerVista software


EnerVista Integrator software can communicate with a range of GE devices, from relays,
trip/breaker units, motor controllers, and meters. Each device has a unique register map
and number of registers.
When a client requests data from the EnerVista Modbus server, the server processes the
request and creates a Modbus request(s) for the required registers. If all the registers
required can fit into one Modbus return message (124 registers in sequential order), then
only one request for one block of data is made. With only one request needed, the GE
device update time is roughly 250 ms.
When the amount of registers is too great for one return message or the registers needed
are more than 122 registers apart, then the server breaks the request into two or more
Modbus requests requiring two or more blocks of data. Devices with small register maps,
such as an MVT trip unit, generally need only one Modbus request with a device response
time of about 500 ms (the MVT has a longer device response time than most devices and
takes 500 ms to process and return a request). But larger devices (PQM, UR, ML750, and so
on) can require four, five, six, or more Modbus requests with a device response time that
can be as much as three seconds. To poll the entire register map of a UR can take over six
seconds, requiring over 24 Modbus requests. The device update cycle time is, largely,
independent of the physical network. A single device on a 19.2 K baud serial line has
roughly the same update time as a single device on Ethernet.
The EnerVista Modbus master supports each network independent of other networks. So
what happens on network A does not affect what happens on network B. The network is
defined as a specific serial line or IP (and its IP port) address. If network A has only one
device on it and only one register block is needed, then the data update time is 250 ms. If
network B has four devices on it requiring a single block from each, then the "round robin
time" is 1,000 ms.
EnerVista Integrator also supports polling of the device alarm/event registers and the
oscillography registers. These registers are polled constantly along with any other device
registers. If a new device alarm/event or waveform is detected in the device (this condition
is monitored via dedicated registers), the EnerVista software then initiates an auto
download of the required data. This data is interleaved with the real-time data request so

CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION MODBUS DEVICE UPDATE TIMES AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

that the impact on performance is minimized. New alarm/events can be downloaded


quickly, while waveforms can take up to 10 minutes to download, depending on the device
and waveform settings.
A test case follows. ML refers to Multilin.

Figure 4: Example of configuration with multiple devices

Data needed for each MLPQM — Each PQM requires five Modbus requests for the required
data, shown in the following table.

the required data.
Data needed for the F60 — Assume that the F60 requires eight Modbus requests for the
required data.
Assumption — Each block takes 250 ms to retrieve.

The performance calculation is as follows.

ENERVISTA INTEGRATOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 9


MODBUS DEVICE UPDATE TIMES AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE CHAPTER 2: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PQM is 5 blocks x 250 ms = 1,250 ms


ML750 is 6 blocks x 250 ms = 1,500 ms
F60 is 8 blocks x 250 ms = 2,000 ms

MultiNet 1.1.1.3 1,500 ms 1,500 ms
ML750 1.1.1.4, with built-in Modbus TCP/IP 1,500 ms 1,500 ms

Updates below one second can only be achieved for systems running a dedicated master
requesting a constant one or two Modbus blocks from a single device on a network. This is
a highly customized function that requires careful planning and design.

Conclusion
Before any network is designed or constructed, a careful examination of needed data
update performance must be done. Each site and customer is unique. Some customers
require data refresh times in the tens of seconds while others require less than a second.
Any update requirement within the physical confines of Modbus can be done but requires
correct network layout and knowledge of what specific data is needed from each specific
device type. Users must be aware that use of Modbus TCP/IP with Ethernet does not itself
increase performance to a noticeable extent. The critical factors are the number of devices
on the same network and how much is polled from each device.

• Import device settings

Add GE device
For a list of GE devices supported, see the table in the Devices supported section on page 4
or in the Quickstart Guide.
Devices connected over serial and Ethernet interfaces can be configured as follows:
• Serial — Devices using Modbus RTU accessed via communications ports connected to
a RS232 or RS485 line. Examples are the PQM, SR750, and MicroVersaTrip.
• Ethernet — Devices using Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet or fiber. Examples are devices
with a Modbus TCP/IP option, such as the UR or EPM 9650, and serial devices using a
Modbus TCP/RTU bridge, such as a Multilin MultiNet.
Devices accessed via Ethernet port servers, such as the GE POWER LEADER Ethernet
Gateway, are considered serial, as the port server serial ports are mapped as
communication ports in the computer.
If in doubt about whether a device uses a serial or Ethernet connection, simply try adding it
as one and then the other.

ADD DEVICE CHAPTER 3: GENERAL USE

Figure 7: Device Setup window for serial device

To add a GE device connected in serial:


1. Click the Device Setup option in the main window. A prompt displays that any
connected devices are disconnected when opening the window; acknowledge and
continue. The Device Setup window opens.
2. Click to expand the Serial category on the left side if not already active.
3. Click the Add Device button. The right side of the window populates with serial device
information.
4. Enter the device information as follows.
Device Name — The name of the GE or third-party device, such as D60 or
MM300_Markham. The name is up to 20 characters, must start with a letter, and
contain no special characters or spaces. If a space is required, use an underscore "_".
Description — Optional. Appears here only.
Interface — A Serial interface card is used to communicate with the device. Serial is
reserved for devices using Modbus RTU accessed via COM ports connected to a
RS232/485 line. Examples are the PQM, SR750, and MicroVersaTrip. Devices accessed
via Ethernet Port Servers, such as the GE POWER LEADER Ethernet Gateway, are
considered serial, as the port server serial ports are mapped as COM ports in the
computer.
Events — The check box can become active after selection of the Device type.
Enables retrieval of event records from a device supporting this function. When
enabled, the device is polled continuously for new events. When a new event is found
in the device, it is downloaded automatically by the system and available for display in
the Event Viewer.

CHAPTER 3: GENERAL USE ADD DEVICE

Waveforms — The check box can become active after selection of the Device type.
Enables retrieval of waveforms from a device supporting this function. When enabled,
the device is polled continuously for new waveforms. When a new waveform is found
in the device, it is downloaded automatically by the system and available for display in
the Waveform Viewer.
TimeDownload — The check box can become active after selection of the Device
type. Enable to synchronize the system (computer) time with the device time
whenever the system starts and at regular intervals as configured.
TFTP supported — The check box can become active after selection of the Device
type. Enable to retrieve events and waveforms using the trivial file transfer protocol
(TFTP) if the device has TFTP support, else it retrieves via Modbus (depends on the
device configuration).
PMU — The check box can become active after selection of the Device type. Enables
retrieval of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data, provided that the device supports
PMU.
Slave address — The ID of the device for Modbus communication. Multiple devices on
the same COM port or IP address (when using a MultiNet) must have unique slave
addresses. Each slave in the network is assigned a unique address/ID, so use the
number already assigned to it here. The range is 1 to 254. Multiple devices on the
same COM port or IP address (when using a MultiNet) must have unique slave
addresses. See the instruction manual of the device to determine what the likely slave
address is. Or look it up in the EnerVista software of the device.
COM port — The computer COM port used to communicate with the device. The
number of devices on the RS485 segment dictates the update performance. The more
devices, the slower the data updates. Look up the port number in the EnerVista
software of the device.
Baud Rate — The baud rate for the COM port selected. Baud rates for the COM port
and all devices on the COM port must match. Look it up in the EnerVista software of
the device.
Parity — Must match device and COM port settings for the COM port and all devices
on the COM port. Look it up in the EnerVista software of the device.
Bits — Must match device and COM port settings for the COM port and all devices on
the COM port.
Stop Bits — Must match device and COM port settings for the COM port and all devices
on the COM port.
Device type — Select the device from the drop-down list.
Devices belonging to the UR series, other than the B90, are categorized as the
following types:
UR — Supports UR 2.6x to 4.6x

CHAPTER 3: GENERAL USE ADD DEVICE

4. Enter the device information, explained as follows.


Device Name — The name of the GE or third-party device, such as D60 or
MM300_Markham. The name is up to 20 characters, must start with a letter, and
contain no special characters or spaces. If a space is required, use an underscore "_".
Description — Optional. Appears here only.
Interface — An Ethernet card is used to communicate with the device. Ethernet is
reserved for devices using Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet, fiber, and so on. Examples
are devices with a Modbus TCP/IP option, such as the UR, EPM 9650, or serial devices
using a Modbus TCP/RTU bridge, such as the Multilin MultiNet.
Events — The check box can become active after selection of the Device type.
Enables retrieval of event records from a device supporting this function. When
enabled, the device is polled continuously for new events. When a new event is found
in the device, it is downloaded automatically by the system and available for display in
the Event Viewer.
Waveforms — The check box can become active after selection of the Device type.
Enables retrieval of waveforms from a device supporting this function. When enabled,
the device is polled continuously for new waveforms. When a new waveform is found
in the device, it is downloaded automatically by the system and available for display in
the Waveform Viewer.
TimeDownload — The check box can become active after selection of the Device
type. Enable to synchronize the system (computer) time with the device time
whenever the system starts and at regular intervals as configured.
TFTP supported — The check box can become active after selection of the Device
type. Enable to retrieve events and waveforms using TFTP if the device has TFTP
support, else it retrieves via Modbus (depends on the device configuration).
PMU — The check box can become active after selection of the Device type. Enables
retrieval of Phasor Measurement Unit (PMU) data, provided that the device supports
PMU.
IP address — The IP address of the device or Multilin MultiNet Modbus bridge. Look on
the front panel of the device or in the device software for its IP address. For a Multilin
MultiNet, each device has the same IP address (that of the MultiNet) and Modbus Port
number, but each device on the same Multinet must have a unique Modbus Slave
address. When using a MultiNet gateway, be aware that the number of devices on the
RS485 segment dictates the update performance. The more devices, the slower the
data updates.
Slave address — The ID of the device for Modbus communication. Multiple devices on
the same COM port or IP address (when using a MultiNet) must have unique slave
addresses. Each slave in the network is assigned a unique address/ID, so use the
number already assigned to it here. The range is 1 to 254. Multiple devices on the
same COM port or IP address (when using a MultiNet) must have unique slave
addresses. See the instruction manual of the device to determine what the likely slave
address is.
Modbus port — The port number used for Modbus communication within the system.
The range is 1 to 65535, and the standard Modbus TCP port is 502. The devices likely
listen on that port. The port number here needs to be same as that used by all devices.
See the instruction manual of the device to determine the likely port number.
Device type — Select the device from the drop-down list.
Devices belonging to the UR series, other than the B90, are categorized as the
following types:
UR — Supports UR 2.6x to 4.6x

Connected via Ethernet Gateway — When the device is connected via Ethernet
gateway this option must be enabled. This helps in optimizing the request flow to the
devices configured on MultiNet. If devices are on a MultiNet this option is enabled
(determined by validating same IP address with different slave IDs). This option is
provided as MultiNets tend to be slower in responding than the devices with a
dedicated communication channel.
5. Click the Test Communication button to ensure that the software can communicate
with the device. A green LED appears with success, and a red LED appears with failure,
such as the device being offline or not powered up.
6. Click OK to add the device. The EnerVista Integrator software automatically launches
the server applications, such as WFServer and EventServer based on the

Set time-outs and preferences


Default options can be changed.
To set time-outs and preferences:
1. Click File > Preferences. The window opens.
Figure 9: Preferences window

2. Set the preferences as follows.


Dead Device Scan Interval — The interval at which non-responsive devices are polled.
Once a device is declared DEAD, the communication server retries/rescans the device
after this interval. Measured in milliseconds, the default is 60,000 ms, which is one
minute.
Communication Timeout — Determines the amount of time that the communication
server has to wait after sending a request to determine that the communication has
failed/timed-out. Measured in milliseconds. The default is 3,000 ms, which is three
seconds.
Maximum Query Retries — The number of times that a request has to be retried
before declaring a device DEAD (unresponsive). The default is three times.
Slow Poll Multiplier — The polling speed/rate is reduced by this amount for items/
mnemonics in slow poll register groups.
Timeout for Multinet Devices / Serial — As MultiNet/serial devices tend to respond
slower than devices configured on Ethernet/dedicated communication channels, the
communication time-out is set separately for these devices to avoid an unnecessary
DEAD state for these devices.
Event Archival Timeout — The device/system events are archived from the database
into .csv files and stored on hard disk. This setting determines the maximum duration
an event is retained in the database, measured in days. The default is 30 days, which
means that events stored in database more than 30 days are deleted and saved in csv
files that are archived. Select a time-out interval of 30, 90, 180 or 365 days from the
drop-down list. The system events also get archived daily at midnight, and this

Figure 18: Define memory map entry

Address Format — See the device user manual to determine if hexadecimal or


decimal is appropriate.
Group Start Address/Group End Address — EnerVista Integrator supports Modbus
RTU extended addressing. In hexadecimal mode, the address range is 0 to FFFF. In
decimal mode, the range is 0 to 65535.
Polling speed is based on the scan interval for the topic.
Fast Poll — Attempts to scan at the assigned scan Interval. This is the default.
Slow Poll — Read register group every three scan intervals. This is typically used for
setpoints or low-priority parameters that change infrequently. Slow Poll is a multiple of
Fast Poll, with a default value of three. This multiple is controlled in File > Preferences.
Poll Once — Scan register group only the first time that data is requested by a client
application. All future requests for the same data receive the data from this poll. If the
device is later declared to be dead, the device is scanned periodically until it comes
back online, at which time the Poll Once data is re-read. This is useful for registers with
settings of a more permanent nature, which need to be read but are unlikely to
change.

26 ENERVISTA INTEGRATOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL


CHAPTER 3: GENERAL USE ADVANCED OPTIONS

Invalid Registers — An invalid register block is a list of registers within a register group
that are not polled for data by EnerVista Integrator, perhaps because they are unused
by the device itself or simply because they are not required.
A register block consists of a contiguous piece of a device's memory that contains
many points of data. Within this block, some addresses can be unused by the device.
You can make EnerVista Integrator aware of unused or extraneous addresses by
specifying them as invalid register blocks.
Invalid register blocks allow EnerVista Integrator to focus its attention on registers of
interest. By not asking EnerVista Integrator to poll addresses that contain no data of
interest, you improve server performance. Also, some devices, if asked for a valid
register block that happens to contain invalid registers, return a message that the
entire block is invalid. Thus, it can be vital to identify any invalid blocks to EnerVista
Integrator.
Click the Add, Modify, or Delete button to manage the list.
Figure 19: Invalid Registers window

Add GE Fanuc PLC device


The GE Fanuc PLC 90/70, PLC 90/30, and Micro90 PLC consist of a backplane to which a
variety of modules with a range of functions can be attached, from metering and data
collection to process control. Because these devices are so flexible and there is no way to
predict the options chosen by the end user, they must be configured the same way as a
generic device. Follow the instructions in the previous section.

Delete function codes


You cannot delete function codes if any user-configured register group exists for the
device type. To delete already added function codes, first delete all the register groups
calling those functions.

CHAPTER 3: GENERAL USE ADVANCED OPTIONS

Use mnemonics
Mnemonics are a way to name registers or groups of registers by assigning a user-friendly
name to a register address. For example, it is easier to remember Trip_Set_Points than
R41234A5. Mnemonics are useful to speed selection of registers. They are also useful, for
the same reasons, when using third-party devices that access the software. For supported
GE devices, user friendly mnemonics are already used.
In addition to regular mnemonics, virtual mnemonics allow calculations and other
operations to be performed (next section).
There are two ways to add mnemonic names: manually or import. For imports, CSV files
are used.
To use mnemonics:
1. In the main EnerVista Integrator window, click the Device Type Info option. The Device
Types window opens.
2. Select the register type from the list and click the Mnemonics button. The Mnemonics
window opens. Use it to add, import, update, export, or delete mnemonics. The
mnemonic name can have up to 20 alphanumeric characters, but no spaces or
special characters, such as + * / /, ? () " '
The next section explains use of the Virtual Mnemonic function.
Figure 21: Mnemonics window

Virtual mnemonics
A virtual mnemonic provides the capability to scale values read from a device or to
compute simple values from primary values. For example, it allows calculations to be
performed, such as adding Voltage A to Voltage B.
The Virtual Mnemonic Editor is used to add/update/delete Virtual Mnemonics for a device
type. The maximum number of Virtual Mnemonics that can be configured is 50 per device
type.
The figure shows a virtual mnemonic named "VIRTUAL1" being added to perform a

Alarms and events

This chapter outlines how to view and manage alarms and event records, as follows:
• Start and stop event logging
• View alarms and events
• Toggle automatic updating
• Filter alarms and events
• Set default view
• Set record number and refresh rate
• Change event type
• Acknowledge alarm
• Create search criteria
• Configure logical expressions
• View events in rolling logs

Introduction
The event logger has the following two components:
• EventServer — Polls devices, collects events, and stores them in the Microsoft SQL
database. It is activated for a device when its Events check box is enabled during
device setup in EnerVista Integrator. By default it is not activated.
• EventViewer — The interface to view events
Use the feature to collect, display, and organize event and alarm information from devices
in the EnerVista Integrator system. When set as such, the event logger displays a near real-
time list of events and alarms and automatically writes the information to the database.
Benefits include
• Faster corrective maintenance — Pinpoint causes of problems using time-stamped
alarms and sequence-of-event records
• Less downtime — Identify and correct a problem before it leads to loss of power and/
or damage
• Improved power quality — Identify sources of "dirty" power and take corrective action
to prevent damage

Administrative mode.

View alarms and events


An alarm is the highest priority event and indicates a condition in the network, such as a
circuit breaker tripped, a circuit breaker in pickup, or a set-point threshold crossed.
An event is lower-priority information that usually indicates a status change, such as
notification that the requested waveform capture has occurred, or an internal
communication error with a device has been detected.
Any alarm or event can be reassigned as an Alarm or Event.
Both device-generated events and EnerVista Integrator system events can be displayed.
The device-generated events display by default upon launch of the Event Viewer. System
events, as outlined later, can be displayed separately or with the device events.
To set up alarms for a device, do so in the product’s software.
To view device-generated alarms and events:
1. On the main screen in EnerVista Integrator, click the Events option, or click the Start
button in the status window. If that does not work, try running the EIEventViewer.exe
file, for example at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enervista\EnerVista Integrator\EIEventViewer.exe
When already in the viewer and there is no open window, click File > New.
The Event/Alarm Viewer window opens. The window can be blank when devices are
not online and/or when there are no records to display.
Figure 24: View device alarms and events

The information for each event is as follows:


Created Time — Time that the event occurred
Event Type — If the new event was recorded due to the operation of an element or
feature within the relay, it is classified as an Event. If the new event was recorded due
to a possible problem with any of the devices in the system, such as the detection of a
faulty connection, it is classified as an Alarm.
Source Name — Name of the device that recorded the event
Display Name — Blank
Source Type — Type of device that recorded the event, such as UR version 5.50 or 369
Event — Description, such as power-on event or power-off event
Event Code —
Acknowledge — The severity of the alarm and whether or not it was manually
acknowledged by a user

Chapter 5: Waveforms

Waveforms

This chapter outlines the following:


• Start waveform server
• Enable waveform retrieval
• View COMTRADE file
• View phasors
• View harmonics
• Merge COMTRADE files
• Resample COMTRADE file
• Toolbar and buttons

Introduction
A waveform is a graphical display of data, such as voltage or current over time and usually
from a triggered event. When supported by a device in the system, waveforms can be
displayed in EnerVista Integrator. Entellisys and 8 Series devices do not support Events and
Waveform retrieval using a serial interface.
The viewer within EnerVista Integrator provides a visual display of power systems data and
relay operation data captured during a specific triggered event. The triggering of
waveforms is determined by the settings made in the device. There are no default device
settings for capturing waveforms; each device must be configured with the triggers.
EnerVista Integrator supports the COMTRADE format. COMTRADE refers to common
format for transient data exchange. EnerVista Integrator supports the C37.111-1991 and
C37.111-1999 COMTRADE standards. The file format is .cfg.
The viewer can display oscillography, phasors, harmonics, and actual values retrieved
from a COMTRADE file. They can be saved as CSV files. CSV files retrieved from GE products
can be combined with existing COMTRADE files and viewed within a single window.
This chapter focuses only on viewing retrieved waveforms. When there are no waveforms
retrieved, you need to configure the device to generate one or open an existing file.

ENERVISTA INTEGRATOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 47


START WAVEFORM SERVER CHAPTER 5: WAVEFORMS

Start waveform server


The EnerVista Integrator waveform server needs to be running. Use the system status
window to verify or start operation. See the Display server status section on page 20 if
required.

To start the waveform server:


1. Ensure that the Waveform Server is running; click its Start button if required.

Enable waveform retrieval


Waveforms are available from devices that support and are configured in EnerVista
Integrator for automatic waveform retrieval. By default, automatic waveform retrieval is
not activated during device setup in EnerVista Integrator.
To enable waveform retrieval for a device in EnerVista Integrator:
1. In the main window of EnerVista Integrator, click the Device Setup option.
2. Select the device to view its panel.
3. Enable the Waveforms check box. If the box is unchecked or the option is grayed out,
the system does not retrieve the waveform for the device.
4. Click the Ok button to save and exit.
Figure 36: Waveform retrieval enabled in Device Setup window

Once activated, EnerVista Integrator polls the device continuously for any new waveforms.
Once a new waveform is detected, it is retrieved. An event is also generated for the event
viewer. To check for new waveforms, look at the event viewer or the waveform viewer.

With successful transfer, the license on the old installation is disabled, and the license
on the new installation is enabled.

Uninstall software
If required, the EnerVista Integrator software can be uninstalled.
Uninstalling the software also deletes configuration information. It does not delete some
files, such as error logs, system logs, and configuration records, which are created after
the EnerVista Integrator installation completes. Since these files are not part of the initial
installation, they are not removed by the uninstaller and must be deleted manually. Any
Microsoft SQL Server database remains.

EnerVista Integrator

Glossary

Baud rate A measurement of a signaling rate or information-carrying capacity of a


communication channel. Communicating devices typically have configurable
baud rates to provide compatibility with various-speed communication
networks. Higher baud rates provide faster data-refresh times.
Commnet A POWER LEADER standard for device communications that specifies the
communication protocol and the communication network
Communication A language or convention used for transmission and reception of binary data. A
protocol communication protocol often is independent of the physical method or
network used for transmission. Modbus RTU and TCP/IP are examples of
communication protocols.
COMTRADE Common format for transient data exchange. A file format used for many GE
products, such as the Universal Relay (UR) family. For EnerVista Integrator,
COMTRADE files are used to display waveforms.
CSV Comma separated value. Files can be exported with data arranged by the
presence of commas in the file. This is referred to as a CSV file. For EnerVista
Integrator, device and register files can be imported and exported as .csv files,
and events are stored in this format as well.
Ethernet A common communication network used for local-area networks (LANs) of
computers. Ethernet-based EnerVista Integrator systems provide high-speed,
reliable communications at 10 megabits per second.
Ethernet Gateway A POWER LEADER device used to connect four RS485 Modbus RTU networks to
an Ethernet TCP/IP network. A gateway increases performance of an EnerVista
Integrator system through multiple Modbus networks and reduces overall
wiring costs through reuse of existing Ethernet LAN wiring.
HMI Human-machine interface. The user interface.
LAN Local-area network
Modbus A POWER LEADER device used to connect eight commnet networks to an RS485
Concentrator Modbus RTU network. The Concentrator provides full compatibility among the
EnerVista Integrator software and the extensive line of POWER LEADER devices
with commnet communications, as well as simple expansion of an RS485
Modbus RTU network up to 247 devices.
Modbus RTU An industry-standard, nonproprietary communications protocol typically used
in medium-speed networks (up to 115.2 kpbs) on RS485. RTU refers to a remote
terminal unit.
MultiNet An Ethernet communications module that allows connection for up to 32
Modbus devices, providing Modbus TCP/IP communications for these devices
over Ethernet. This allows connection to fiberoptic LAN and WAN systems for
remote access to data.

ENERVISTA INTEGRATOR – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 73


GLOSSARY

OPC Open platform communication. A standard for sharing data among


applications and devices.
OPC Server A software application that typically runs in the background, gathering
information from the network and providing the information in open platform
communication (OPC) format for use by one or more applications. The EnerVista
Integrator has such a server, and it runs invisibly in the background.
PLC Programmable logic controller. GE Fanuc products are PLCs that can be added
to EnerVista Integrator.
POWER LEADER A family of GE power-management devices, including meters, relays, trip units,
