Monitoring instruments

Two communications options have been added to the Encore Series of power quality, demand, and energy monitoring systems. The first is the IEC 61850 communications option that will be bundled, when specified, into Dranetz 61000 Series instruments, allowing interoperability to be achieved between Dranetz and third-party devices in utility substation environments operating under the IEC 61850 automation, communications, and integration protocol. The second option is the EssOpc Module, an OPC Gateway for the company’s Encore Series software. OPC establishes a common interface for third-party devices to allow access by other systems, including building management and SCADA.
