PQSCADA Server
Note: This drawing depicts the flow of data
The PQSCADA server is the heart of the BLACKBOX data management and analysis system.
The main functionality of the PQSCADA server is shown in the figure above and further
described below with corresponding numbered marks:
1. Download: PQSCADA collects all waveform data that has been continuously
recorded in the compressed PQZIP format.
2. Process: The data is processed and organized for quick access and storage. A wide
range of electrical parameters are then calculated based on the raw PQZIP data.
The reorganized PQZIP data, and the calculated parameters with statistics
included, are stored and available on the network for later retrieval.

3. Deliver: All the electrical information, including event flagging & notificationsare
delivered over a number of communication gateways. This feature includes report
exportsin various compatible formats such as COMTRADE, PQDIF, CSV, RTF, HTML,
PDF, etc.
4. Visualize: Detailed data can be easily analyzed by any number of clients at any
location. The Investigator Software provides an immediate, comprehensive and
understandable picture of everything that happened within the network.

Upgrading Components
We recommend that you upgrade all sites and nodes together for each server; however
you may choose to upgrade them individually as well. As shown below Elspec Site & Elspec
Node appears but is not yet upgraded or active.
To upgrade all sites and nodes for a server, right click the server (Test server in ourexample), then select Upgrade / Upgrade All:
The Site (Elspec Site) and Node (Elspec Node) have been upgraded and nowappear under PQS Server:
PROCEED TO THE NEXT STEP: Recalculating Parameters(Optional)

Recalculating the Parameters
This optional step allows you to recalculate any parameter(s) for a stipulated
period. For example apart from IEC 61000-4-30 Class A parameters that has
been included for PQSCADA 4.0 & later versions, the latest version PQSCADA
4.2 includes Class A parameters for Current previously only calculated forVoltage. You may therefore need to recalculate these parameters.
NOTE NOTE NOTE
We recommend that you perform this procedure only when necessary,
since it can take up a considerable amount of time (approximately two
weeks to calculate one years worth of data). Prior to following this
procedure configure the necessaryParameters in Node Configuration.
In addition refer to the table below as a further guide:

PQZIP UPLOAD MANAGER:
PQSCADA V4.2.2.2 & later versions allows for the PQS Server & Management
Studio to be installed on two different computers. With the PQSCADA V 4.2
you can now upload PQZIP files from a different folder location other than
the incoming folder to any selected Node. Meaning PQZIP files located on
the PQS Server's incoming folder / PQZIP files recorded by other BLACKBOX
devices can now be uploaded in this manner. This feature allows you to
manage & control the uploading process of PQZIP compressed files see
PQZIP Upload Manager:
STATUS BAR:
The Status Baris divided into 5 columns & functions can be performed only for
theComponents:
By selecting any component Server, Site or Node you can perform various
functions within each column by a simple right-click of your mouse:

all the parameters, in the event of an incorrect & invalid setup (i.e.
Clamp Setup / PT Ratio correction / CT Ratio correction / Current
Polarity)
COMPLIANCE STATUS COLUMN:
This new column has been added in order to detail the relevant compliance
status as per the device's configuration (via Elspec's Web Interface). The
column purely provides information regarding the overall compliance status

Incoming Folder Size Limit: The size of the temporary folder where the
PQZIP files are stored while they are waiting to be processed. The default is
2 GB, although this can be changes according to your available system
resources. All original PQZIP files are deleted after they are processed
unless they are backed up.
Backup Folder Size Limit:To enable this feature, check the Backup Folder
Size Limit check-box. This sets the size of the backup folder where all good
PQZIP files can be archived. When the file folder reaches its limit, the
oldest files will be deleted first.
Bad File Folder Size Limit:The size of the bad file folder where all bad
PQZIP files are kept. A file status (good or bad) is determined when the file
is processed.

Data Processing
The Data Processing column displays the processing status of PQZIP data. In order
to activate the tools for this column, you will need to Enablethe function by right
clicking anywhere in the Data Processing Column & selecting Enable:
The data processing takes place in 2 stages - namely:
Stage 1 - Data Transferral from the PQZIP to the Database, including:
Decompression & collection of waveform data sources
Data is recompressed into 1min chunks called BINARIES
The Binaries & Device Events are stored into the Database
RMS (V/I) are computed into 1min Summaries
After this stage has been concluded, the minimum resolution period that is
available for all the parameters, is 3 Hours.
Stage 2 - Data Processing itself:
Computation of all other parameter summaries
Computation of Class A aggregated parameters (Version 4)
Summaries are stored every 1 Min / 10 Min ( Min/Max/AVG)After this stage has been concluded, all queries may run for a period longer
than 3 Hours.
The Binaries calculated during Stage 1 are used for:
Stage 2 computation
Queries that are initiated from Elspec's Investigator Software Program for
less than 3hours. Any selected parameter is immediately computed from
the stored waveform signal in order to achieve a maximum resolution.
The summaries are used for queries that are run for a longer period than 3
Hours & this consequently shortens the response time for such queries.

Reset PQZIP Files
The PQSCADA server automatically downloads the PQZIP files recorded by the
BLACKBOX device (Node). Each downloaded PQZIP file is saved under a name by
the PQSCADA server & the server processes the files accordingly. As the files are
processed by the PQSCADA, they are removed from theIncoming Folder. Each file
that has been downloaded to the incoming folder manually or automatically, is
logged within the PQS Server (in order to avoid reprocessing & downloading). The
PQZIP File Viewer displays all downloaded files sorted by Processed &
Unprocessed (files that are still in the incoming folder). Should you wish to re-
download and / or re-process any of the files, you will need to delete the logged
file from the list.
