8. COMMUNICATION METHODS (PART 4)

• Via GPRS, using a cheap Dynamic IP SIM Card (via
  Diameson Server)
• Activate Stylitis-Powers built-in internal
  modem.
• Neither ADSL (static IP) connection is required
  for the logger nor expensive static IP SIM cards.
• Low operation cost The datalogger is permanently
  online, but only data exchange is charged.
• Connection of dataloggers and computers to
  Diameson Gateway, Symmetrons server software.
• Symmetrons Diameson is available for
  connections, but you can use your own Diameson,
  to manage your own dataloggers.

10. LOGGER SETUP (PART 1)

• Connect to the datalogger, via Opton, via one of
  the previous methods and modify its setup.
• In the logger setup, besides the channel
  configuration,you can also change other
  parameters
• The recording interval (selectable from 0.5 sec
  to 1 hour).
• The loggers site name.
• If you wish to connect via GPRS, define the APN,
  user name and password of the SIM cards
  provider and an IP address and port.
• VOLTAGE CHANNEL
• The channel indicated as VOLT is the voltage
  channel, which measures directly the phase
  voltage of 1 3-phase line (neutral) or 4 1 phase
  lines and the frequency of the first line (L1).
• A default value is automatically filled for the
  Slopes (for 280V full scale), but you can also
  type them manually or calibrate the input, so
  that they are calculated and filled
  automatically.

12
11. LOGGER SETUP (PART 2)

• CURRENT CHANNELS
• CH1CH10 measure the phase current of up to 10
  3-phase line (neutral) or 40 1 phase lines, via
  voltage-output (differential) current
  transformers.
• Combined with the corresponding lines voltage
  measurements (see previous chapter), apparent,
  active and reactive power and power factor are
  also measured for each line.
• Active, reactive and apparent energy is also
  calculated for each line.
• For a 3-phase line, not all 4 current
  transformers are needed. Besides measuring all 4
  currents, you can select to measure the current
  of
• Only L1, L2, L3 (N current is computed). Use 3
  CTs.
• Only L1, L2, L3. Use 3 CTs.
• Only L1, L2 (L3 current is computed). Use 2 CTs.
• Also set the phase shift between voltage and
  current and the CTs full scale current (up to
  6000A).
• A default value is automatically filled for the
  Slopes (for the full scale), but you can also
  type them manually or calibrate the input, so
  that they are calculated and filled
  automatically.

12. ONLINE PLOT

• Via Opton, an online plot of the dataloggers
  channels can be displayed.
• The plot is updated every second. All samples
  appear, regardless of the recording interval.
• The desired channels to be plotted can be
  selected.
• 6 graphs will appear, one for each measurement
  type Voltage, Frequency, Current, Power Factor,
  Active Power, Apparent Power.
• The channel values at a specific selected second
  can be displayed numerically.

14
13. ACQUISITION AND DOWNLOAD

• After writing the desired setup in the
  datalogger, enable data acquisition.
• A data file will be recorded, with one record
  every interval.
• Data download can be achieved either manually or
  automatically via AutoConnect software (see next
  chapter).
• MANUAL DOWNLOAD
• There are 3 types of manual download
• Download the most recent file. If Acquisition is
  ON, this is the current file. In this case, the
  current file is firstly closed (the next file
  begins) and then downloaded.
• Download a previous file, by typing its number.
• Download more than one previous files. The files
  must be consecutive. To download them, type their
  range, eg files 1-4.
• Files are stored in the datalogger in compressed
  form. When a file is downloaded, it is
  decompressed into a data file, which can be
  viewed via a text editor.

15
14. AUTOMATIC DOWNLOAD

• Via the additional software AutoConnect, you can
  do the following actions - Download Status to
  get the loggers status, ie information about its
  serialnumber, firmware version, remaining memory
  for data, battery voltage, etc.- Download data
  to download data files.- Download Current
  Values to get the channel values every
  interval.- No action if you do not wish for
  automatic connections some weekdays.
• You can set a different time for each weekdays
  connection, along with a different action.
• If a connection fails for any reason, there is a
  retry option The retrial times and the interval,
  in minutes, between these retries, can be
  selected.
• Besides making a connection once a day,
  AutoConnect can make infinite connections every
  as many minutes as you wish.
• From AutoConnects interface, you can
• View a list of all your automatic connections and
  execute one or more manually.
• Check each connections latest status, ie if it
  succeeded, or failed and why.
• View the date and time of last connection and
  last successful download for each one.
• Modify the properties of existing auto
  connections, like in Opton.

16
15. FILE MANAGEMENT

• Compressed and decompressed data files are stored
  in windows folders, which operate as site folders
  (one for each datalogger). Other relevant site
  files are also stored in the folder.
• All these file types can be viewed in Opton,
  either all together or files of one type only
• Stylitis Compressed files. Raw files as stored in
  the datalogger.
• Stylitis Data files. Decompressed files
  (automatically) when downloaded.
• Energy Data files. Along with each data file, the
  data of its energy data columns are added.
• Manual or Automatic Connection files. Multiple
  connections can be created in one site.
• Setup files. Setups can be saved to files and
  loaded. One log (text) file is also recorded for
  each connection.
• In Optons interface, some statistics and
  features appear for each file, in columns,
  besides the file type. Files can also be sorted
  by one of these columns
• File name, time and date modified and size,
  features appearing in Windows Explorer.
• Logger type (Stylitis-200 in our case) and site.
• File number and Interval.
• Data Start Date and End Date.

16. OFFLINE DATA PRESENTATION (PART 1)

• Besides online plot, data can be presented and
  analyzed in statistics offline, ie for each
  downloaded file separately. The available tools
  are
• Plot
• Plot the selected channel data to upto 3 graphs
  (groups of channels).
• Move the cursor to view values at aspecific
  moment with the channel units.
• Export to Excel/.CSV/.TAB file
• Export a files data to an Excel,a comma
  delimited or a tab delimited file.

18
17. OFFLINE DATA PRESENTATION (PART 2)

• Statistics
• Like in the plot, the channels are divided in
  groups (2 this time).
• Statistics of the files data can appear per
  hour, per day, per month and per year.
• The statistics can be the average values of the
  data (within the hour, day, month or year), the
  max, min, variance or standard deviation values,
  or sum of all values.
• Only the voltage, current, apparent power, etc,
  values can be isolated and viewed.
• In the first tab, the first group is presented
  via a bar graph and the second one via a dot
  plot.
• In the second and third tab, the same statistics
  are represented in table form.

18. CONCLUSION

• Therefore, why should one select the
  Stylitis-Power datalogger? Its main advantages
  are
• Measure on multiple incoming and outgoing 3 phase
  or 1 phase lines.
• The only sensors needed are current transformers.
  Some phase currents can be calculated, thus not
  all of them need a current transformer.
• Recording RMS values at multiples of 0.5 sec, for
  advanced analysis, instead of getting instant
  values.
• Variety of communication methods.
• Free operating and automatic connection software.
• Portability, thanks to its IP67 enclosure with
  carrying handle.
