Trends
A selectable set of variables (different from instrument to instrument) can be stored in
the PowerSoft database with a selectable time interval so to build-up a history of the
installation. All the data can be analysed later on in both graphical and analytical
format and exported in various formats (wmf, csv, xls). Up to 4 variables (from the
same or from different instruments) can be displayed and compared at the same time.
With simple and intuitive procedures it is also possible to zoom the graph or analyse it
in detail with a cursor, freely choosing the time period to be displayed.

Real time display
Each instrument has a 4-page section where its real time data can be
examined in different ways: as analogue indicators; analytically in a
complete table including all the variables and the utility meters; by means
of a Fresnell diagram. It is possible to check the status of the digital inputs
and check or switch the digital output for test purposes or to remotely act
on an external device. A table which displays at the same time all the data
from up to 5 instruments per page is available, allowing the user to carry
out a simple and immediate data comparison.

Interactive synoptics
A fully customisable set of animated interactive synoptics allows to browse the
monitored electrical distribution system and to see any alarm condition at a glance. A
series of links allows to access the real time data of each instrument or to pass on to
other synoptics.
PowerSoft is an analysis platform suitable for Win 98, 98SE, XP and Vista, which has been
specifically developed to interface, by means of the Modbus protocol (RTU and TCP/IP),
with the Carlo Gavazzi products for Energy Management. Consisting of a main core and of a
series of optional plug-in modules, it allows to correctly and efficiently manage an electrical
distribution system, mainly considering the cost reduction point of view. This aim is
achieved monitoring the consumptions, checking the demanded power peaks and adopting
accurate analysis and data processing tools.

The Waves module
Through this new module PowerSoft can display the measured signal (VL1-n, VL2-n,
VL3-n, I1, I2, I3) and graphically represent the relative waveforms (up to 10 cycles
before the trigger signal), Powersoft also represents the harmonic spectrum (up to the
63th harmonic) of every cycle and moreover it makes available the graphic
representation of the harmonic in the 10 analyzed cycles. This function allows a more
thorough analysis of the event that generated the trigger command. This new analysis
module is able to “to capture” and to display the 10 previous cycles under the trigger
command that is determined automatically (if there is a preset alarm on the
instrument) or in a manual way (if there is a directed command of the operator); a third
option is also available and it actives the display of the waveforms in continuous
mode carrying out a simil-oscilloscope function and displaying the waveform of the
analysed signal in real time. All the graphically represented data are saved and can be
recalled at any time the user wants. The Waves module can be used only with the
WM5 power quality analyzer, when the serial communication is via the Ethernet port
on the AR1061 module.
