1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PQM-300 family models are service quality registers and they constitute the basic element for the quality analysis and
monitoring according to UNE-EN 50160 standard. They can be used as autonomous elements of an electrical position or as
elements integrated in a Protection and Control Integrated System.
There are different models, which only differ in some hardware points or in its functionality. The Firmware can be loaded in the
unit through the serial port, which makes the version upgrading easier.
This manual does not correspond to a particular PQM300T model, but it refers to the whole family. For each model, it will be
only applied everything related to its physical characteristics and its functionalities.

125 Vdc: Operating range 85 to 150 Vdc (inactive under 60 Vdc)
220 Vdc: Operating range 65 to 264 Vdc (inactive under 110 Vdc)
Burden: <=3 mA
They are two-directionals (they have no polarity).
The input circuit is a 390 ohms serial resistence with optoacoplador; for a 5 V signal the approximate burden is 10
mA.
The number of units that can be connected in parallel to a generator depends on its capacity of supplying output
current; a typical value could be about 70 mA, so 6 units could be connected (although the length and type of wire
used can influence). The wire has to be twisted and shielded.

where:
Sag threshold. Minimum variation respecting to the nominal voltage to consider sag.
Sag hysteresis. Minimum variation to recover from the sag.
Swell threshold. Minimum variation respecting to the nominal voltage to consider swell.
Swell hysteresis. Minimum variation to recover from the swell.
Minimum separation between events in order to be considered the same event or a new one.
There are also other parameters, used for signalling sags and swells which are those below:
Sensitivity for sag. Variation to consider the new step inside the sag (increase and decrease events).
19
Sag maximum time . Maximum time since the sag start, during which the sag pulse signal is kept active. Once this
time is elapsed, the pulse signal is deactivated, although the sag continues and no more notes are done in that sag. If
the time is set to 0, it is the same as if this option would be deactivated, so the sag end is not restricted in a time
and the sag pulse signal coincides with the sag one.
Swell maximum time. Maximum time since the swell start, during which the swell pulse signal is kept active. Once
this time is elapsed, the pulse signal is deactivated, although the swell continues and no more notes are done in that
swell. If the time is set to 0, it is the same as if this option would be deactivated, so the sag end is not restricted in a
time and the sag pulse signal coincides with the one of the sag.
For example, having the nominal voltage set to 80V, if considering a sag starts from 72V on, the sag threshold must be set in
10%. It is deduced from 3.1 equation:
Sag _ threshold % =
80 72

In the same way, if considering the swell starts from 88V on, the swell threshold must be set in 10%.

The analysis is carried out over the three current protection phases.
Being this function enabled (setting), when the measured current value excesses the threshold (setting) during the additional
time (setting), the signalling is generated and it indicates that an Overcurrent has occurred. Once it is activated, the current
value must drop under the 95% of the setting, on order to deactivate it.
The overcurrent activation generates control digital signals and it acts over the programmed digital outputs.
The events generated are the following ones:

Being this function enabled (setting), when the measured THD value excesses the threshold (setting), the signalling is
generated and it indicates that an overexcitation has occurred. Once it is activated, the THD value must drop under the 95%
of the setting, on order to deactivate it.
The maximum time THD indicates the time from the starting of the THD, during which the THD pulse signal remains active;
when this time ends, the pulse signal is deactivated although the THD keeps on. If the time is set to 0, it is the same as
having the option disabled, so that the THD is not limit in a time and the THD pulse signal matches with the THD signal.
The THD overexcitation activation generates control digital signals and it acts over the programmed digital outputs.
The events generated are the following ones:

5.2.1 Historical
The storage is carried of the average of the measurements calculated within a determined periodicity out in a circular
queue. Both the measurements to be stored and the storage periodicity can be programmed by the user.
These data are stored in the PC where they are accumulated to the data previously captured, so data corresponding to
a long period are available. These data are presented as a list and in a graphic format, allowing different analysis
types to be carried out on them in the PC without being connected to the register.
The historical carried out are the following ones:
Voltage and current historical.
Power historical
Harmonic historical
The different historical can be individually enabled, selected which measurements are going to be sent and its
integration period.
The total number of measurement stored is fixed, so depending on the storage period and the number of
measurement selected the time will be longer or shorter.
At least, the historical values corresponding to a month, taken every hour, are stored; that is, 744 registers. If
changing the sampling period, the total time stored also changes.
When the historical configuration is changed, those previously stored in the register are lost, so if they are desired to
be kept, before changing the configuration, they have to be requested and stored in the PC.
Each historical can be deleted via command:
Delete V-I historical. Command 111
Delete power historical. Command 112
Delete harmonic historical. Command 113
The historical are also deleted when deleting all the memory (command 110), which deletes not only the historical,
but also all the data stored in the memory.
The historical display can be carried out as a list, where the data and the value are indicated (Figure 9), or in a
graphic way, where apart from the time evolution, each point value can be seen (Figure 10). This representation is
valid for the different historical types.
The access to the historical is from Register menu with the option Bring historical or from the tool bar with the
Historical pushbutton. The available data are the following:

5.2.2 Statistical
The storage of statistical data (maximum, minimum and mean), calculated within a determined periodicity is carried
out in a circular queue. Both the measurements and the storage periodicity can be programmed by the user.
Additionally, the statistical are calculated with a 1-day, 1-week, 1-month and 1-year periodicity that cannot be
programmed by the user.
These data are stored in the PC where they are accumulated to the data previously captured, so data corresponding to
a long period are available. These data are presented as a list, where the date and the registered values are indicated
( Figure 13), allowing these data analysis in the PC without being connected to the register.
The statisticals to be calculated are the following ones:
Voltage and current statisticals.
Power statisticals
Harmonic statisticals
The statisticals can be individually enabled, the measurements to be sent and the integration period can be selected.
The following statistical data will be stored in the register:
annual: 1 register
monthly 12 registers (1 year)
weekly: 54 registers (1 year)
daily: 31 days (1 month)
time schedule: 744 registers are stored, corresponding to the values of one month taken every hour. If
changing the sampling period, the total time stored also changes.
When the statistical configuration is changed, those previously stored in the register are lost, so if they are desired to
be kept, before changing the configuration, they have to be requested and stored in the PC.
The access to the historical is from Register menu with the option Bring historical or from the tool bar with the
statistical pushbutton.
Each statistical can be deleted via command:
Delete V-I statistical Command 114
Delete power statistical. Command 115
Delete harmonic statistical. Command 116
The statisticals are also deleted when deleting all the memory (command 110), which deletes not only the statistical,
but also all the data stored in the memory.

The number of selected cycle is stored in each oscillo, being 32 the number of samples per analogue channel cycle.
The number of cycles previous the pick up is programmable. In each oscillo, up to 8 analogue channels can be registered
and also up to 32 digital channels selectable from a list selected among the available signals.
The oscillo starts by a rising slope of any of the digital signals contemplated in the register.
The analogue channels are sent to the console multiplied by the transformation ratio in order to appear in primary values.
When the oscillograph configuration (number of cycles) is changed, those, previously stored in the register are lost, so if they
are desired to be kept, they have to be requested and stored in the PC, before changing the configuration.
The oscillograph stored in the memory can be deleted when resetting the queue The deleting can be individual (only
oscillographs) or global (all the memory).
The access to these data is from Register menu with the option Bring wave shape or from the tool bar with the Wave

6. REGISTER CONFIGURATION
6.1 TIME SETTING AND SYNCHRONIZATION
6.1.1 Time setting
It can be carried through the Protection Console with the synchronization pushbutton.
6.1.2 Synchronization
There is an input for synchronization via IRIG-B demodulated. (See section IRIG-B Input inside
characteristics).
Technical
The time code IRIG-B is a mesh generated once a second. The code used is B 003, in which the mesh is constituted
by a pulse train with TTL of variable widths. The time shown corresponds to the PPS (pulse per second) coinciding
with the Mesh Reference Mark of the beginning of the mesh. There are two options.
Format B002: The year is not sent in the message.
Format B002 with IEEE 1344: The year is sent in the message.
In Integrated Control Systems (SIPC) the register is periodically synchronised (every minute) by the UCS.
In this case, it is useless to change the time in the Protection Console, because it will be deleted by the UCS.

As it can be observed in the definition of a logic output the following elements are involved:
Up to 16 signals among the available ones (or their negated ones), forming an OR function
Up to 16 signals among the available ones (or their negated ones), forming an AND function
an OR or AND function (programmable) of two previous functions results
a programmable time delay ("delay") to activate the output
40
9BREGISTER CONFIGURATION
a programmable time for the duration of the output activation
The delay time is the time length since there is a logic 1 at the output of the logic ports until the corresponding logic output
is activated. If during this time the 1 disappeared, the output could not be activated. It can be programmed between 0
and 99.9 s, with steps of 0.1 s.
The pulse time (duration) is the time during which the logic signal remains active. Its programming allows two options:
"By logic": after the delay, the output is active as long as there is a 1 at the programmed logic output
"By time": the time during which the output is active is programmed, so that once expired the output is deactivated,
independently from the state of the programmed logic output. Only a new step from 0 to 1 will activate the output
again, after the delay. The time range goes from 0.1 s to 99.9 s, with steps of 0.1 s.
A logic output "i" can be used as available signal for programming input of other logic signal "j" or of itself.

APPENDIX I.
KEYBOARD / DISPLAY
It may optionally dispose of a display (2 lines and 16 characters) and a keyboard with 16 keys.
The keyboard/display units aim is displaying the states of the digital inputs, measurements and date. The display language can
be configured and the date can be changed.
On standby, the display shows PQM300-T and the software version it has.
At any moment of the procedure described below, by pushing ESCAPE the unit moves to the menu element of the immediately
previous level.
The menus are scrolled downwards or upwards with the pushbuttons and , and they are circular, that is, after the last
position it goes to the first one again.
In general terms, when a menu is scrolled, the first line of the display indicates the active function, which can be entered by
pushing INTRO. That way, we enter the following menu level (if there was) specific for that function.
The menu tree to display or change settings inside a each group is hierarchical. If on standby (title), we push INTRO, we reach
the following menu:
SEE TIME
MEASUREMENTS
SEE SETPOINTS
CHANGE SETPOINTS
44
0BKEYBOARD / DISPLAY
When entering into each group to change the settings, which are included (final menu), the keyboard operation will
be as it follows:
1) Numerical settings. The first line of the display shows the name of the selected setting followed by its current
value. The line 2 shows the text NEW followed by the current setting range, which can be changed by using the
numerical keyboard.
To change the setting range we use the numerical keyboard. The new range has to be literally entered, this means
that if we wish to enter the new value of 23 the key 2 will have to be pressed, and followed by the key 3. If the value
is not valid, when pushing INTRO to access to the next setting, a warning message will be shown on the line 2
indicating INVALID VALUE. A valid value will have to be entered to be able to access the next setting within the
group, by pressing INTRO. The pressing of ESC within the final menu takes us to the menu element, which we
came from, without making effective the changes we have made until the moment of pressing.
The changes are made effective when at the moment of reaching the last group setting and pressing INTRO, we
receive the message VALIDATE SETTINGS and press INTRO to validate the changes; if we validate them by
pressing INTRO, we would return to the next element of the menu above (see menus chart). By pressing ESC we
return to the menu element from which we reached the actual state.
2) Non numerical settings. There are settings, such as language, that offer some possibilities to choose, because it is
clearer to selct them by their name instead of entering its numerical value.
Whenever possible and clear, on the line 1 the name of the setting will appear along with a text indicating the actual
value. On the second line it will gradually appear the possible values to choose for this setting, if we use the keyboard
properly. We use the key to go through the different possibilities we have on each state. In the case of inputs,
outputs or leds configuration we can use the keys and to select the configuration of each of them; we do it
this way because there are many configurations to choose from and this makes it quicker.
As for the numerical settings, by pushing INTRO, we move to the following setting until reaching the last one of the
group, in which we have to valuate by pushing INTRO. The pressing of ESC takes us to the menu element from
which we reach the actual status.
I.2. MENU
Below, we enclose a table which graphically illustrates and shows the easy handling of the different menus and settings
which can be changed with the keyboard/display. We recommend this appendix be at hand when you start to use the
keyboard, in order to easily find the settings to be changed.

II.4. COMMISSIONING
The PQM300 registers are received with the default settings stipulated by the factory.
Before commissioning they must be set, with the correct values for the application, following the setting procedures.
The register has been checked at the factory in order to guarantee its accuracy in all of the setting points of the different
parameters. However, it is convenient to test some points during reception and commissioning, in order to ensure it is totally
in proper operating condition.
Once the line is connected the real measurements, the relay is carrying out can be displayed, thus enabling you to check for
proper connection and operation.

The measurements will be carried out by injecting voltages and currents in a phase and checking in the console that
that phase presents a value different to zero and that is within the defined margins.
This test must be carried out for all the phases seeing the measurement in the console.

If the hardware status signal (see signals 128 to 133 in the section List of Available signals) are set at 1, they indicate
that anomalous situation is occurring in the register. With value at 0 it indicates Hardware OK.
Digital outputs
A digital output can be programmed with the signal HW status, which will be activated in case of critical error and
deactivated under normal operation.
Leds
The programmable Leds dispose the same options as the digital outputs.
The bicolour Led programmed as (Failure HW) indicates:
Events
The events indicate the type of error detected and they are those quoted in the first part of this chapter.
The event of corrected hardware errors indicates that the problems have been solved.
50
2BPREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
If critical error, with no specific indication, is shown and the error persists after turning the register off and on,
contact the technical service.
If converter or reference voltage error is shown. Check the measurements, and if they are correct, turn off and on the
register; if the error does not disappear, contact the technical service.
If Clock error is shown, synchronize it manually. If the error persists, contact the technical service.
If error in the Flash memory recording is shown, send the settings again. If the error persists, contact the technical
service.

3BUSER INTERFACE
The software installation can be carried out from any directory containing the installation files.
The default directory where the software is going to be installed is c:\PQM, but any other can be indicated. When
Start is pushed, the program creates a directory structure, where it has been indicated, uncompress the necessary
files and creates a new folder PQM Utilities (see Figure 15) in the Program submenu of the Start menu (Win95,
Win98, ...), with some inputs to get access to the PQM console programs.
52

If during the installation process, it is detected that any of the files that are going to be installed has already existed.
In general the current one has to be kept, because it belongs to the previous version installation and that way the
configuration operating is kept.
In order to execute this console program, get access to this PQM Utilities folder from the menu Start and select
PQM. Console.
The installation and/or unit configuration is carried with Figure 17 screen, where independent options are
available for Installations and Units, since from each installation several units with different configurations can
be hang.

3BUSER INTERFACE
The Default parameters make reference to some parameters on application level, which will be those the
Installations have by default at the moment they are created. These parameters modification (modem and
automatic call), will affect to all the installation that have not modified them. The parameters are dragged:
Application->Installation->Unit. From the moment they are modified, in Installations or Units, they do not affect
to the upper level modifications. It is useful if the parameters are the same for most of the installations and units
(i.e. Remote connection through the same modem), allowing modifying all of them at the same time (i.e. Modem
change to other serial port).
Configure modem: It modifies the communication and modem parameters.
54
3BUSER INTERFACE
Automatic call: It modifies the data that are going to be brought in a communication through automatic call
(the settings are always brought).
55
3BUSER INTERFACE
Modify PQM Unit: It modifies the unit selected (already existing).
In the names of the Installations and units blanks neither those characters, which cannot take part of a MSDOS
directory name (format 8.3), are allowed. In the Installation and Unit commentary, this restriction does not exist.
IV.1.3 Password
There are some actions, such as change of settings, generate a new table that requires the introduction of a password.
In general, all the actions that modify data in the register need a password to carry them out, as well as a
confirmation mechanism against involuntary changes in the register behaviour.
In Figure 24, the screen to write the password is displayed. The default button is "Cancel", so OK must be typed or
type "TAB" and "ENTER" to validate the password. It can not distinguish between Capital letters and lower case letters
when validating the password.
The password can be changed through the option "Change password in the menu File (see III.1.7 File Menu). By
introducing the previous password, Figure 25 screen is accessed where the new password has to be introduced twice.

3BUSER INTERFACE
If the communication has been successfully established, after waiting for ten seconds, the program control goes back
to the console.
Anyway, if REMOTE mode is entered, communication can be in LOCAL mode, only by leaving the marker program
through the File menu (see Figure 26) and its Leave without dialling submenu.
When finishing the REMOTE connection, Figure 27 will appear, indicating that the modem is being tried to be hung.
The modem is sent hang commands until the CD (Carrier Detect) modem line fall is detected, if we have connected
through Leave without dialling and we have a Null Modem cable, which keeps invarariably this signal active,
connected to the serial port, the PC serial cable will have to be disconnected in order to deactivate the CD signal and
finish with the communication. It is done that way in order to avoid that any modem which does not respond
immediately, keeps a telephone call, in cases of unattended (Automatic Calls), without the operator supervision. It is
advisable to configure the modem (see modem manual) in order to hang if there has not been enough data traffic
during a certain time (5 min.). Another option that must be fixed to the modem that is calling is to consider the drop
minimum time of the DTR signal in 500 msc. the modem that receives the call must ignore the RTS line.
Being in this program, through remote communication or through local communication, or without establishing, its
handling is carried out by jeans of to types of utilities:
Tool bar Quick access to the most frequent options through icons.

By means of the main menu, the same actions as with the tool bar can be carried out, as well as some additional
ones. These actions are grouped into option groups:
File menu: It includes options related with the reading and recording of files, printer selection and
configuration of installations and units, monitoring of the Automatic Call, the pass to Only Displaying mode,
password change and leave program.
Register menu: It includes the tool bar options and the remaining operations affecting the register (displaying
all type of data and modifying the register settings) and the file deletion.
Each screen specific menu: each type of screen the console open has a menu associated to it, in which the
specific options that can be carried out on the data they are representing (it only appears if there is any open

Change password: It allows changing the confirmation password (see III.1.3 password).
Escape: It allows leaving the Console program
61
3BUSER INTERFACE
If the register is already communicating with the console and the communication parameters are
changed, these parameters will be those used by the register to communicate with the modem, and
not with the console , so the modem should be switched on and off, as well as the register or the
new modem should be connected or disconnected for this to be reseted to the new parameters.
If the register does not communicate with the console, after making the telephone call through the
modem, and if we execute this option, the parameter scanning is carried out in the PC with the
serial port the modem is connected to (the one we are already communicating with, since the
telephone call has been made), and not with the register through the communication parameters,
so nothing is going to be obtained, except losing the communication with the modem. In this case,
the most probable errors can be a bad configuration of some of the modems , or some of the cables
are faulty/it is not the right one (supposing the PC, the register and the modems operate properly.

The rated voltage between phases has also to be indicated, as well as if current channels and measurements
transformers are connected. If current or voltage channels are connected, the transformation ration between
the primary and the secondary has to be indicated.
The secondary current and voltage measurement values can be checked (without taking into account the
transformation ratio), alarms will appear when pushing next, if the console detects any anomaly in the
transformation ratio, current or voltage angles, low measurement, etc If any value is modified and next
is pushed, alarms are out again (if they existed) or the following screen is accessed (if no alarms). If there
are alarms and next is pushed again without modifying any value the following screen is allowed to get
access despite the alarms (the alarms are warnings of a possible bad physical connection of the register or a
bad configuration of the settings, covering the most common cases, but not all of them). The possible alarms
and the conditions under they can occur are the following ones:
Non-usual voltage transformation ratio: The voltage transformation ratio is not multiple of 5.
Non-usual current transformation ratio: The current transformation ratio is not a whole value (it
has decimal numbers)
Channel x voltage is very high: Channel x voltage exceeds in 1.1 or 0.635 times the rate voltage,
depending on the configuration: if it is in delta/star without measuring the voltage between phases
or star measuring the voltage between phases.
Channel x voltage is very low: Channel x voltage does not exceed 0.9 or 0.52 times the rate
voltage, depending on the configuration: if it is in delta/star without measuring the voltage between
phases or star measuring the voltage between phases.
Unbalance voltages: The difference between the channel highest voltage and the channel lowest
one exceeds the 2% of the highest one.
Phase sequence is not correct: The voltage angles of phases 2 and 3 are inside the range 115125 and 235-245 respectively.
The voltage angles are not correct: The voltage angles of phases 2 and 3 are not inside the range
235-245 and 115-125 (correct), either inside the range 115-125 and 235-245 (phases 2
and 3 interchanged) respectively.
63
3BUSER INTERFACE
Non-usual current angles: The difference between the voltage angle and the current angle of
some phase(s) are not inside the range 15-75 (delta) or 45-45 (star).
In this screen the measurements in the primary appear, as well as the enabling of those measurements the
register is desired to carry out (voltages and currents). It is possible to go back to the previous screen if some
data want to be corrected, in case the measurements in the primary are not the expected ones. By pushing
Send, the programmed settings are made effective in the register. Being carried out this process, the
register can be said to be minimally configured for its proper operation.
By pushing Advanced we get access to the setting general screen; all the settings are accessed through
this button (integration time for voltages, powers, harmonics, table depth etc.). It is the same to push the
button Setting. These settings have to be accessed in order to configure completely the register.

Direct request to the register (Not Marked): If the date range selection is inside the limits of the
data stored in the PC file, there is no communication with the register and the data are taken out
of the files. If the range of dates is higher than the last record stored in the PC file, it carries out
the request to the register from the date of the last record stored in the file, stores the new records
in the file and finally shows only those whose date is inside the selected range (the newest ones
may no not be seen if the end date is not newer than them, although they have been brought in the
communication process).
Direct request to the register (Not Marked): It carries out the request to the register with the

The fifth harmonic value is always given in absolute value.
In the graphic screens a value evolution along the time. For example, the channel A fundamental harmonic,
as it is shown in this case. In order to know better the handling options of the graphic see Appendix IV.1.13
Graphic handling. When the represented sample time range is shorter than a day, in the X axis the time

The window associated to the oscillograph has an associated menu with specific options shown in Figure 46;
the enabled and disabled options, in both cases, depend on the split span we have selected (list or graphic).
The options presented by the Wave shape menu are the following ones:
Export to text: It is the same to the rest Windows with record lists, it allows recording in an ASCII

Scale Digital to Analogues: It allows mixing curves of analogue and digital signals by scaling the
values of these last ones (0/1) to values that allow appreciating their variations along the time. It
affects to all the windows associated to the same list.

In the upper part, next to the controls where the values of each of the axis are displayed, there appear two drop-down
lists: the first one has the curve colours that can be represented (maximum number of curves that can be represented
in the dame graphic), and the second one has the data that can be represented. In order to add a new curve, or
substitute one already represented, the colour, with which we want to represent the curve, has to be firstly selected
and then select the data that are going to be represented. If more curves than those admitted by an only graphic want
to be simultaneously displayed, more graphic spans can be taken out, by pushing the corresponding Graphic button
( with the same data to be represented) and set them in the screen with the desired size and position.
When the window containing the list with the data that are being represented is closed, all the associated graphic
Windows are also closed, the number of open graphic windows (per data type and at an application level and not per
installation or Unit) as well as its configuration (position, size, selected curves etc). The following time Graphic
button is firstly pushed , these windows will be displayed in the same way they were (position, size, selected curves
etc), in successive pushing, a new graphic window will be added with a predetermined configuration or the one
stored from a previous execution. (if it existed).
The graphic handling can be carried out with the PQM console menu (of specific names in each type of data and of
appearance as in Figure 58) and/or with mouse movements and/or key combinations.
General options of menus associated to the graphics and their equivalent by using the mouse:
Scale: It rescales the X and Y axis in order all the represented curves to be completely seen. There is a
button, with the same name, on the right of the drop-down lists of curve selection, which carries out the same
function as when pushing it.
Reverse white/black: It reverses White/Black colours in the graphic (curves and graphic background). It is
useful when sending a graphic to the printer. It can also be carried out by double clicking the central button of
the mouse on the graphic.
Copy Graphic: It copies the graphic in the clipboard (on order to paste in an application supporting graphics)
Zoom: It allows moving among the carried out zooms:
Previous zoom: Idem with the mouse right button click on the graphic.
Forward zoom: Idem with the mouse central button click on the graphic.
Initial Zoom: Idem with a double click of the mouse right button on the graphic.
Legends: It modifies the legends position (data text identifying each curve), initially situated on the upper
left corner of the graphic:
Hide: It displays/hides the legends. Idem with a double click of the mouse left button on the
graphic.
75
3BUSER INTERFACE
Apart from the graphic manipulation through the menu options, there are some actions that can only be carried out by
using the keyboard and the mouse:
Zoom: The zone to be widened is defined by selecting by dragging with the mouse left button. The zone to be
widened is slightly modified in order all the units appearing in the axis to have rounded values. The zoom limit
is the axis resolution; there is no use in doing zooms when all the axis marks show the same values.
By pushing SHIFT key, when selecting the zone to be widened, the graphic proportion is maintained:
the widened horizontal range is the function of the selected vertical one, in order to maintain the
proportion, centred in the selected horizontal range.
By pushing CTRL key, when selecting the zone to be widened; the graphic proportion is maintained:
the widened vertical range is the function of the selected horizontal one, in order to maintain the
proportion, centred in the selected vertical range
Scroll: both the keyboard and the mouse can be used to scroll the graphic without modifying the zoom level
existing in that moment:
Mouse: Drag the graphic with the mouse right button in any direction. If the movement wants to be
limited to horizontal or vertical scrolls, keep the key CTRL or SHIFT pushed respectively.
Keyboard: a selected graphic can be scrolled by jeans of cursor scroll keys in any of the tour directions
(upwards, downwards, towards left or towards right), pixel by pixel. If any of the keys CTRL, ALT or
SHIFT are simultaneously pushed with the scroll key, the scroll speed is multiplied by ten for each of
the key that is pushed.
The graphic can be moved page by page (window) horizontally (time axis) with the corresponding keys
of Page forwards and Page backwards. If, besides CTRL or SHIFT is pushed the scroll is vertically done
(measurement axis).
If any zoom has been carried out, it is possible to go to the beginning or to the end of the graphic, in
the time axis, by pushing key START or END.

YYMMDDT.POT: A line per power historical record received, with the unit name and the rest the data separated
by ;.
YYMMDDT.ARM: A line per harmonic historical record received, with the unit name and the rest the data
separated by ;.
The characters YY, MM, DD and TT, of the names of the last files, correspond to two numerical digit of the
year, month, day and time respectively of the moment when the files are generated.
Figure 59 Options.
Cycle period (hours): It shows the frequency with which communication with each unit must be
tried.
Number of attempts: If during the Automatic Call process communication with the unit is not
obtained, the following one is accessed and, after having tried with all the units, the attempts are
done with those which it has not had communication with, or those that have not been
communicated or there has been an error in the communication process (if time). The number of
attempts is fixed here.
Alarm threshold: It is a percentage of the communication time set for the Automatic Call. If the
time used for communication with units is higher than the communication maximum time assigned
(time stripe) a threshold is given. This alarm would appear in a text in full screen and in the
Automatic Call following screen (Figure 65). One of these options must be chosen in order to stop
the alarm and be able to fulfil the communication specifications.
Actualize the unit time: It allows synchronising the date and time of the registers with the one
the PC has. Obviously, assure the PC, where the Console software is executed; maintains the
correct date and time all the time, and that the registers do not have a better way of
synchronization (IRIG_B).

In this screen there appear an animate icon to indicate that the program is operating, at current date and
time, a task list and the frequency with which the Task state is refreshed. The program function is to keep a
task list (programs to execute) and execute them in the moments indicated in the configuration of each task.
The task maintenance is carried out through the options of the Tasks menu (Figure 61):
New: It configures a new Task, taking initially the data of the one selected.
Edit: It edits the selected Task (it is also accessible by double click of the Mouse left button on
the Task).
Execute: It executes the selected Task instantaneously, regardless its configuration (it is useful
to check if the command line is well configured).
Finish: It finishes the selected task, in case it is being executed configuration (it is useful to
check if the command line is well configured).
If editing the Task that launches the automatic call, the following screen appears:
78
3BUSER INTERFACE
Comment: Text identifying the Task. It must be different for each of them.
Examine...: It allows selecting the executable file by jeans of Windows, without typing in the
keyboard.
Dates: It is only executed when the specified date condition coincides (inside the
execution stripe ).
Periodical: It is executed every certain configurable fixed time (inside the execution stripe
).
Overlap: It executes the task although the previous execution is not over.
Finish: It finishes the task when it reaches the end of the execution stripe, in the case it is still
being executed
Recover: In periodical Tasks of irregular execution time, it tries to execute the Task as many
times as it would correspond to it, in the case of an execution exceeds its execution period (all the
Task executions are not supposed to be longer than their execution period).
In case of Automatic Call, the command line is composed by a console executable file and its parameters
can be:
79
3BUSER INTERFACE
$c: It substitutes this pseudoparameter by the Task comment. Inside the PQM Console an
executable file Warning.exe is included, the function of which is to display the text it has
been passed as a parameter until a key is pushed. It is useful to display warnings at a certain
time.
The advisable configuration for the Automatic Call is the one that appears in the figure 62, except from the
execution time and the time stripe that will depend on the situation.
In the execution time and the time stripe configuration, a temporal condition to fulfill is indicated. The
symbol * indicates any value (it will imply something cyclical) and they should appear on the left and not
towards the right (a * only in the seconds means that something is being tried to executed during every
seconds of the specified minute). Complex execution conditions can be specified, in which nothing is going
to be executed, so that at the end of the Task edition, there will appear its next execution time next to the
comment and the Task status. There are some execution conditions that cannot be specified in a single Task
(e.g. time stripe only Saturdays and Sundays), but more Tasks executing the same command can be
included (on e for Saturdays and another one for Sundays) in order to do whatever is desired.
The Task status can be:
"Exec. until": it is being executed until the fate the Launch finishes it.
"Finishing": It is going to be finished because it goes on executing outside the time stripe.
"Finished: No more Task executions are expected with the current configuration..
Load from...: It allows adding the Tasks stored in a file to the list.
Cancel: It prevents the Launcher program to from executing any Task. It is useful in case of a
bad Task configuration in which something can be repeatedly executed without the option of
deactivating the Task. With Ctrl+D, the Launcher is stopped and the error can be corrected. The
animate icon is stopped and it is coloured red.
80
3BUSER INTERFACE
Resident: It hides the Launcher program without stopping being executed. By executing the new
Launcher program it turns invisible again.
In the PQM Console software installation the Launcher is included in the Operative System, Start folder, in
order to be executed hidden with the two tasks that appear in Figure 60 deactivated.
If the unit has never communicated, the dates are outside the range, as in Figure 65.
If there is Automatic Call alarm, an icon representing a red clock appears on the left side of the
Communicate with the unit button.
The Communicate with the unit button allows making an Automatic Call with the selected unit, at that
moment without looking at any other condition.
