New features in RTU software Vt Sudolsk (RTU User Center, Record - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Vít Sudolský New features in RTU software (RTU User Center, Record Viewer, EPGAP)

www.elvac.eu

RTU Software for controlling and parameterization of RTU units

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

RTU User Center

RTU Significantly faster write speed to database Optimized node loading (expanding nodes) Faster XML saving and loading Ability to save to compressed XML Faster change of parameter values (especially with mass change of parameters) Lower memory requirements Improvement of tree revision (in-memory revision)

RTU User Center

Optimization

RTU Save a node / tree to compressed XML file Compressed XML files are many times smaller Saving / loading of large trees is faster with compressed XML files Accessible in Save / Load node dialog by choosing type „compressed definition files (*.xmlc)

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Compressed XMLs

RTU Online revision No downtime Takes longer Offline revision Communicator disconnected Faster Memory revision (new) Significantly faster After loading the tree from XML Done fully in memory (before even saving to database) Makes sense for very large trees

RTU User Center

Optional channels

Channels that can be added to or removed from a unit at any time Option to choose only channels that are actually needed during unit creation or any time later Provides a convenient list of available channels for a given unit Almost all channels in current units are optional channels, even protections and recorders Window accessible through menu Node -> Select optional channels (F12)

RTU Main goals:

Improve readability of the tree Lower the memory requirements, especially for larger trees Smaller parameterization file – faster parameterization / reading parameters Eliminate unnecessary traffic from RTU‘s generated by unused channels Ability to directly add all missing channels while loading parameters from RTU unit.

RTU User Center

Improved loading of parameters and parameterization

Visualization of progress during parameterization and loading of parameters Ability to parameterize multiple units simultaneously Automatic addition of mising channels and removal of unneeded channels during loading of parameters

RTU

RTU User Center

Node search

Quickly find the node you are looking for Search in both loaded and not loaded nodes Search by

Node name Node description Node value Node ID Parameter value Data value

Supports wildcard character (“*“) Browse the search results one by one or display the list of all found nodes Display found nodes directly in the tree

RTU

Node search

Displaying found nodes directly in the tree

RTU

RTU User Center

Improved filters

Reducing the number of visible nodes by a set of conditions Filtering nodes by

Node name Node type Node description Node value Node level Unit region Parameter value Data value

Combining multiple conditions Option to save / load a set of filters Defining groups of conditions ( A AND B ) OR ( C AND D )

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Display only protections and its subchannels Two groups of conditions – ( X AND Y ) OR ( Z ) Filters in action - example

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Grouping filters

Switching with button Grouping option 2 Grouping option 1

RTU User Center

Bookmarks

Adds ability to mark a particular node and quickly return to it later Create up to 9 bookmarks Great for working on multiple units simultaneously Bookmarks are remembered between User Center restarts Bookmarked nodes are visible in bookmark window (Ctrl+B, or in menu – View -> Bookmarks)

• r in node menu (Node -> Bookmarks)

Quickly create a new bookmark with CTRL+SHIFT+[1-9] and return to it with CTRL+[1-9]

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Node sorting

Sorting of nodes in the tree by value of any numeric parameter Sort by ascending/descending value Option to divide nodes to groups by their type Accesible in parameter context menu (Sort selected node by parameter „X“)

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

RTU local network discovery

Automatically discovers all Elvac RTU units in local network Displays units name, MAC address and IP address Option to quickly connect to the units web interface Accessible through menu View -> Search RTU… Planned feature: adding unit into the tree with single click

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Firmware conversions

Intelligent conversion of units to a higher firmware version Original „dumb“ conversion only removes unused parameters and channels and adds new ones with default values New conversions move values from old parameters to the new ones and converts the values where neccessary Each conversion is individually defined in its „conversion template“ Upgrades with available conversion are marked with „(conversion)“ label behind the FW version number

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Automatic chaining of firmware conversions

Conversions through several firmware versions are automatically chained together (111.06 -> 138.01 -> 141.01 -> 147.01) All conversions accessible through chaining are still visible in the FW upgrade window

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Custom conversions

Ability to launch custom conversions directly from UI (previously only available through scripting) One available conversion – conversion to IEC104 unit Both custom conversions and FW conversions can be launched from here Accessible through Node -> Checking/Sorting -> Node conversion

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Selective records download

Display a list of available records in a unit Ability to download any single record, or all the records at once Visualization of record download progress Option to view selected, downloaded record directly in Records Viewer (if available) Accessible through menu Node -> Commands -> Selective records downloading

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Global ranges

Define all the ranges from channels, protections and recorders in one place Ranges in respective channels, protections and recorders are automatically updated Power and conductivity ranges are automatically calculated

RTU

www.elvac.eu | www.rtu.cz

RTU User Center

Export to CSV file

Option to export a list of units / channels to a CSV report (can be opened in Excel) Customizable list of columns, can display:

Any node information (name, value, parameters or data) Any information about any subnode Information about parent unit / group / interface

Option to save / load different column configurations Accessible in menu Node -> File -> Export CSV report…
