All events triggered in the BLACKBOX Portable are stored in the logger (flash
memory) which is viewable through the System Log page.
In addition, all events are also stored in the PQZIP files and can be further ana-
lyzed in the ELSPEC PQSCADA/Investigator software.
Events can generate an email-notification (refer to E-mails Alerts page for more
information).
Codes 201 – 232 are used for configuring up to 32 different, fully customized
events.
A custom event is typically built from one or more logical/mathematical condi-
tions. When the conditions are met, the event is triggered and the following in-
formation is generated and stored:
 Time Stamp of beginning
 Event Code number
 Duration of event
 Magnitude (A parameter value recorded during the event)
 Magnitude deviation (from the normal/configured value/treshold)
 Phases that were influenced
 Severity of the Event ( value indicating how severe ithe event is)
Although the information implies a power related event, you are free to
configure other type of events that are not related to specific power network
parameters, such as digital input-based events or even temperature-based events
and so on. (In such cases the Phases involved information should be left
blank/ignored.)
Events can also be based on multiple conditions, for example an event which is
triggered if both voltage is above some treshold and outside (PT-100) temprature
exceeds a certain limit.
