Chapter 1: Three-Phase Power

Measurement

Three-Phase Power Measurement

This introduction to three-phase power and power measurement is intended to provide

only a brief overview of the subject. The professional meter engineer or meter technician
should refer to more advanced documents such as the EEI Handbook for Electricity
Metering and the application standards for more in-depth and technical coverage of the
subject.

1.1 Three Phase System Configurations

Three-phase power is most commonly used in situations where large amounts of power
will be used because it is a more effective way to transmit the power and because it
provides a smoother delivery of power to the end load. There are two commonly used
connections for three-phase power, a wye connection or a delta connection. Each
connection has several different manifestations in actual use.
When attempting to determine the type of connection in use, it is a good practice to follow
the circuit back to the transformer that is serving the circuit. It is often not possible to
conclusively determine the correct circuit connection simply by counting the wires in the
service or checking voltages. Checking the transformer connection will provide conclusive
evidence of the circuit connection and the relationships between the phase voltages and
ground.

1.2 Wye Connection

The wye connection is so called because when you look at the phase relationships and the
winding relationships between the phases it looks like a Y. Figure 1.1 depicts the winding
relationships for a wye-connected service. In a wye service the neutral (or center point of
the wye) is typically grounded. This leads to common voltages of 208/120 and 480/277
(where the first number represents the phase-to-phase voltage and the second number
represents the phase-to-ground voltage).

The three voltages are separated by 120o electrically. Under balanced load conditions the
currents are also separated by 120o. However, unbalanced loads and other conditions can
cause the currents to depart from the ideal 120o separation. Three-phase voltages and
currents are usually represented with a phasor diagram. A phasor diagram for the typical
connected voltages and currents is shown in Figure 1.2.

The phasor diagram shows the 120o angular separation between the phase voltages. The
phase-to-phase voltage in a balanced three-phase wye system is 1.732 times the phase-
to-neutral voltage. The center point of the wye is tied together and is typically grounded.
Table 1.1 shows the common voltages used in the United States for wye-connected
systems.

Table 1.1: Common Phase Voltages on Wye Services

Phase to Ground Voltage Phase to Phase Voltage
7,620 volts 13,200 volts

Usually a wye-connected service will have four wires: three wires for the phases and one
for the neutral. The three-phase wires connect to the three phases (as shown in Figure 1.1).
The neutral wire is typically tied to the ground or center point of the wye.
In many industrial applications the facility will be fed with a four-wire wye service but only
three wires will be run to individual loads. The load is then often referred to as a delta-
connected load but the service to the facility is still a wye service; it contains four wires if
you trace the circuit back to its source (usually a transformer). In this type of connection
the phase to ground voltage will be the phase-to-ground voltage indicated in Table 1, even
though a neutral or ground wire is not physically present at the load. The transformer is
the best place to determine the circuit connection type because this is a location where
the voltage reference to ground can be conclusively identified.

1.3 Delta Connection

Delta-connected services may be fed with either three wires or four wires. In a three-phase
delta service the load windings are connected from phase-to-phase rather than from
phase-to-ground. Figure 1.3 shows the physical load connections for a delta service.

VC

Phase 2 Phase 3

VB Phase 1 VA

Figure 1-3: Three-phase Delta Winding Relationship

In this example of a delta service, three wires will transmit the power to the load. In a true
delta service, the phase-to-ground voltage will usually not be balanced because the
ground is not at the center of the delta.
Figure 1.4 shows the phasor relationships between voltage and current on a three-phase
delta circuit.
In many delta services, one corner of the delta is grounded. This means the phase to
ground voltage will be zero for one phase and will be full phase-to-phase voltage for the
other two phases. This is done for protective purposes.

phases and 208 volts on the third phase. Figure 1.5 shows the phasor diagram for the

1.4 Blondel’s Theorem and Three Phase Measurement

In 1893 an engineer and mathematician named Andre E. Blondel set forth the first
scientific basis for polyphase metering. His theorem states:
If energy is supplied to any system of conductors through N wires, the total power in the
system is given by the algebraic sum of the readings of N wattmeters so arranged that
each of the N wires contains one current coil, the corresponding potential coil being
connected between that wire and some common point. If this common point is on one of
the N wires, the measurement may be made by the use of N-1 Wattmeters.

1–4 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT BLONDEL’S THEOREM AND THREE PHASE MEASUREMENT

The theorem may be stated more simply, in modern language:

In a system of N conductors, N-1 meter elements will measure the power or energy taken
provided that all the potential coils have a common tie to the conductor in which there is
no current coil.
Three-phase power measurement is accomplished by measuring the three individual
phases and adding them together to obtain the total three phase value. In older analog
meters, this measurement was accomplished using up to three separate elements. Each
element combined the single-phase voltage and current to produce a torque on the meter
disk. All three elements were arranged around the disk so that the disk was subjected to
the combined torque of the three elements. As a result the disk would turn at a higher
speed and register power supplied by each of the three wires.
According to Blondel's Theorem, it was possible to reduce the number of elements under
certain conditions. For example, a three-phase, three-wire delta system could be correctly
measured with two elements (two potential coils and two current coils) if the potential coils
were connected between the three phases with one phase in common.
In a three-phase, four-wire wye system it is necessary to use three elements. Three voltage
coils are connected between the three phases and the common neutral conductor. A
current coil is required in each of the three phases.
In modern digital meters, Blondel's Theorem is still applied to obtain proper metering.
The difference in modern meters is that the digital meter measures each phase voltage
and current and calculates the single-phase power for each phase. The meter then sums
the three phase powers to a single three-phase reading.
Some digital meters measure the individual phase power values one phase at a time. This
means the meter samples the voltage and current on one phase and calculates a power
value. Then it samples the second phase and calculates the power for the second phase.
Finally, it samples the third phase and calculates that phase power. After sampling all three
phases, the meter adds the three readings to create the equivalent three-phase power
value. Using mathematical averaging techniques, this method can derive a quite accurate
measurement of three-phase power.
More advanced meters actually sample all three phases of voltage and current
simultaneously and calculate the individual phase and three-phase power values. The
advantage of simultaneous sampling is the reduction of error introduced due to the
difference in time when the samples were taken.

Figure 1-6: Three-Phase Wye Load Illustrating Kirchoff’s Law and Blondel’s Theorem
Blondel's Theorem is a derivation that results from Kirchoff's Law. Kirchoff's Law states that
the sum of the currents into a node is zero. Another way of stating the same thing is that
the current into a node (connection point) must equal the current out of the node. The law
can be applied to measuring three-phase loads. Figure 1.6 shows a typical connection of a
three-phase load applied to a three-phase, four-wire service. Kirchoff's Law holds that the
sum of currents A, B, C and N must equal zero or that the sum of currents into Node "n"
must equal zero.
If we measure the currents in wires A, B and C, we then know the current in wire N by
Kirchoff's Law and it is not necessary to measure it. This fact leads us to the conclusion of
Blondel's Theorem- that we only need to measure the power in three of the four wires if
they are connected by a common node. In the circuit of Figure 1.6 we must measure the
power flow in three wires. This will require three voltage coils and three current coils (a
three-element meter). Similar figures and conclusions could be reached for other circuit
configurations involving Delta-connected loads.

1.5 Power, Energy and Demand

It is quite common to exchange power, energy and demand without differentiating
between the three. Because this practice can lead to confusion, the differences between
these three measurements will be discussed.
Power is an instantaneous reading. The power reading provided by a meter is the present
flow of watts. Power is measured immediately just like current. In many digital meters, the
power value is actually measured and calculated over a one second interval because it
takes some amount of time to calculate the RMS values of voltage and current. But this
time interval is kept small to preserve the instantaneous nature of power.
Energy is always based on some time increment; it is the integration of power over a
defined time increment. Energy is an important value because almost all electric bills are
based, in part, on the amount of energy used.

1–6 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT POWER, ENERGY AND DEMAND

Typically, electrical energy is measured in units of kilowatt-hours (kWh). A kilowatt-hour

represents a constant load of one thousand watts (one kilowatt) for one hour. Stated
another way, if the power delivered (instantaneous watts) is measured as 1,000 watts and
the load was served for a one hour time interval then the load would have absorbed one
kilowatt-hour of energy. A different load may have a constant power requirement of 4,000
watts. If the load were served for one hour it would absorb four kWh. If the load were
served for 15 minutes it would absorb ¼ of that total or one kWh.
Figure 1.7 shows a graph of power and the resulting energy that would be transmitted as a
result of the illustrated power values. For this illustration, it is assumed that the power level
is held constant for each minute when a measurement is taken. Each bar in the graph will
represent the power load for the one-minute increment of time. In real life the power value
moves almost constantly.
The data from Figure 1.7 is reproduced in Table 1.2 to illustrate the calculation of energy.
Since the time increment of the measurement is one minute and since we specified that
the load is constant over that minute, we can convert the power reading to an equivalent
consumed energy reading by multiplying the power reading times 1/60 (converting the
time base from minutes to hours).

Demand is also a time-based value. The demand is the average rate of energy use over
time. The actual label for demand is kilowatt-hours/hour but this is normally reduced to
kilowatts. This makes it easy to confuse demand with power, but demand is not an
instantaneous value. To calculate demand it is necessary to accumulate the energy
readings (as illustrated in Figure 1.7) and adjust the energy reading to an hourly value that
constitutes the demand.
In the example, the accumulated energy is 14.92 kWh. But this measurement was made
over a 15-minute interval. To convert the reading to a demand value, it must be
normalized to a 60-minute interval. If the pattern were repeated for an additional three 15-
minute intervals the total energy would be four times the measured value or 59.68 kWh.
The same process is applied to calculate the 15-minute demand value. The demand value
associated with the example load is 59.68 kWh/hr or 59.68 kWd. Note that the peak
instantaneous value of power is 80 kW, significantly more than the demand value.
Figure 1.8 shows another example of energy and demand. In this case, each bar
represents the energy consumed in a 15-minute interval. The energy use in each interval
typically falls between 50 and 70 kWh. However, during two intervals the energy rises
sharply and peaks at 100 kWh in interval number 7. This peak of usage will result in setting
a high demand reading. For each interval shown the demand value would be four times
the indicated energy reading. So interval 1 would have an associated demand of 240 kWh/
hr. Interval 7 will have a demand value of 400 kWh/hr. In the data shown, this is the peak
demand value and would be the number that would set the demand charge on the utility
bill.

As can be seen from this example, it is important to recognize the relationships between
power, energy and demand in order to control loads effectively or to monitor use correctly.

1.6 Reactive Energy and Power Factor

The real power and energy measurements discussed in the previous section relate to the
quantities that are most used in electrical systems. But it is often not sufficient to only
measure real power and energy. Reactive power is a critical component of the total power
picture because almost all real-life applications have an impact on reactive power.
Reactive power and power factor concepts relate to both load and generation
applications. However, this discussion will be limited to analysis of reactive power and
power factor as they relate to loads. To simplify the discussion, generation will not be
considered.
Real power (and energy) is the component of power that is the combination of the voltage
and the value of corresponding current that is directly in phase with the voltage. However,
in actual practice the total current is almost never in phase with the voltage. Since the
current is not in phase with the voltage, it is necessary to consider both the inphase
component and the component that is at quadrature (angularly rotated 90o or
perpendicular) to the voltage. Figure 1.9 shows a single-phase voltage and current and
breaks the current into its in-phase and quadrature components.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1–9

REACTIVE ENERGY AND POWER FACTOR CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT

IR V

IX I

Figure 1-9: Voltage and Complex Current

The voltage (V) and the total current (I) can be combined to calculate the apparent power or
VA. The voltage and the in-phase current (IR) are combined to produce the real power or
watts. The voltage and the quadrature current (IX) are combined to calculate the reactive
power.
The quadrature current may be lagging the voltage (as shown in Figure 1.9) or it may lead
the voltage. When the quadrature current lags the voltage the load is requiring both real
power (watts) and reactive power (VARs). When the quadrature current leads the voltage
the load is requiring real power (watts) but is delivering reactive power (VARs) back into the
system; that is VARs are flowing in the opposite direction of the real power flow.
Reactive power (VARs) is required in all power systems. Any equipment that uses
magnetization to operate requires VARs. Usually the magnitude of VARs is relatively low
compared to the real power quantities. Utilities have an interest in maintaining VAR
requirements at the customer to a low value in order to maximize the return on plant
invested to deliver energy. When lines are carrying VARs, they cannot carry as many
watts. So keeping the VAR content low allows a line to carry its full capacity of watts. In
order to encourage customers to keep VAR requirements low, some utilities impose a
penalty if the VAR content of the load rises above a specified value.
A common method of measuring reactive power requirements is power factor. Power
factor can be defined in two different ways. The more common method of calculating
power factor is the ratio of the real power to the apparent power. This relationship is
expressed in the following formula:
Total PF = real power / apparent power = watts/VA
This formula calculates a power factor quantity known as Total Power Factor. It is called
Total PF because it is based on the ratios of the power delivered. The delivered power
quantities will include the impacts of any existing harmonic content. If the voltage or
current includes high levels of harmonic distortion the power values will be affected. By
calculating power factor from the power values, the power factor will include the impact of
harmonic distortion. In many cases this is the preferred method of calculation because the
entire impact of the actual voltage and current are included.

1–10 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT HARMONIC DISTORTION

A second type of power factor is Displacement Power Factor. Displacement PF is based on

the angular relationship between the voltage and current. Displacement power factor
does not consider the magnitudes of voltage, current or power. It is solely based on the
phase angle differences. As a result, it does not include the impact of harmonic distortion.
Displacement power factor is calculated using the following equation:
Displacement PF = cos θ

where q is the angle between the voltage and the current (see Fig. 1.9).
In applications where the voltage and current are not distorted, the Total Power Factor will
equal the Displacement Power Factor. But if harmonic distortion is present, the two power
factors will not be equal.

1.7 Harmonic Distortion

Harmonic distortion is primarily the result of high concentrations of non-linear loads.
Devices such as computer power supplies, variable speed drives and fluorescent light
ballasts make current demands that do not match the sinusoidal waveform of AC
electricity. As a result, the current waveform feeding these loads is periodic but not
sinusoidal. Figure 1.10 shows a normal, sinusoidal current waveform. This example has no
distortion.

Figure 1.11 shows a current waveform with a slight amount of harmonic distortion. The
waveform is still periodic and is fluctuating at the normal 60 Hz frequency. However, the
waveform is not a smooth sinusoidal form as seen in Figure 1.10.

Figure 1-11: Distorted Current Waveform

The distortion observed in Figure 1.11 can be modeled as the sum of several sinusoidal
waveforms of frequencies that are multiples of the fundamental 60 Hz frequency. This
modeling is performed by mathematically disassembling the distorted waveform into a
collection of higher frequency waveforms.
These higher frequency waveforms are referred to as harmonics. Figure 1.12 shows the
content of the harmonic frequencies that make up the distortion portion of the waveform
in Figure 1.11.

Figure 1-12: Waveforms of the Harmonics

The waveforms shown in Figure 1.12 are not smoothed but do provide an indication of
the impact of combining multiple harmonic frequencies together.
When harmonics are present it is important to remember that these quantities are
operating at higher frequencies. Therefore, they do not always respond in the same
manner as 60 Hz values.

1–12 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT POWER QUALITY

Inductive and capacitive impedance are present in all power systems. We are accustomed
to thinking about these impedances as they perform at 60 Hz. However, these impedances
are subject to frequency variation.
XL = jwL and
XC = 1/jwC
At 60 Hz, w = 377; but at 300 Hz (5th harmonic) w = 1,885. As frequency changes
impedance changes and system impedance characteristics that are normal at 60 Hz may
behave entirely differently in the presence of higher order harmonic waveforms.
Traditionally, the most common harmonics have been the low order, odd frequencies, such
as the 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 9th. However newer, non-linear loads are introducing significant
quantities of higher order harmonics.
Since much voltage monitoring and almost all current monitoring is performed using
instrument transformers, the higher order harmonics are often not visible. Instrument
transformers are designed to pass 60 Hz quantities with high accuracy. These devices,
when designed for accuracy at low frequency, do not pass high frequencies with high
accuracy; at frequencies above about 1200 Hz they pass almost no information. So when
instrument transformers are used, they effectively filter out higher frequency harmonic
distortion making it impossible to see.
However, when monitors can be connected directly to the measured circuit (such as direct
connection to a 480 volt bus) the user may often see higher order harmonic distortion. An
important rule in any harmonics study is to evaluate the type of equipment and
connections before drawing a conclusion. Not being able to see harmonic distortion is not
the same as not having harmonic distortion.
It is common in advanced meters to perform a function commonly referred to as
waveform capture. Waveform capture is the ability of a meter to capture a present picture
of the voltage or current waveform for viewing and harmonic analysis. Typically a
waveform capture will be one or two cycles in duration and can be viewed as the actual
waveform, as a spectral view of the harmonic content, or a tabular view showing the
magnitude and phase shift of each harmonic value. Data collected with waveform capture
is typically not saved to memory. Waveform capture is a real-time data collection event.
Waveform capture should not be confused with waveform recording that is used to record
multiple cycles of all voltage and current waveforms in response to a transient condition.

1.8 Power Quality

Power quality can mean several different things. The terms “power quality” and “power
quality problem” have been applied to all types of conditions. A simple definition of “power
quality problem” is any voltage, current or frequency deviation that results in mis-
operation or failure of customer equipment or systems. The causes of power quality
problems vary widely and may originate in the customer equipment, in an adjacent
customer facility or with the utility.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1–13

POWER QUALITY CHAPTER 1: THREE-PHASE POWER MEASUREMENT

In his book Power Quality Primer, Barry Kennedy provided information on different types of
power quality problems. Some of that information is summarized in Table 1.3.

It is often assumed that power quality problems originate with the utility. While it is true
that power quality problems can originate with the utility system, many problems
originate with customer equipment. Customer-caused problems may manifest
themselves inside the customer location or they may be transported by the utility system
to another adjacent customer. Often, equipment that is sensitive to power quality
problems may in fact also be the cause of the problem.
If a power quality problem is suspected, it is generally wise to consult a power quality
professional for assistance in defining the cause and possible solutions to the problem.

In addition to the Multilin EPM 7000 meter/transducer configuration, an Multilin EPM 7000T
transducer configuration is available. The Multilin EPM 7000T transducer is a digital
transducer-only unit, providing RS485 communication via Modbus RTU, Modbus ASCII or

2.1.1 Voltage and Current Inputs

Universal Voltage Inputs
Voltage Inputs allow measurement up to Nominal 576 VAC (Phase to Reference) and 721
VAC (Phase to Phase). This insures proper meter safety when wiring directly to high voltage
systems. One unit will perform to specification on 69 Volt, 120 Volt, 230 Volt, 277 Volt, and
347 Volt power systems.

Higher voltages require the use of potential transformers (PTs).

Note

NOTE
Current Inputs
The unit supports a 5 Amp or a 1 Amp secondary for current measurements.

The secondary current must be specified and ordered with the meter.
Note

NOTE
The current inputs are only to be connected to external current transformers.
The EPM 7000 meter’s Current Inputs use a unique dual input method:
Method 1: CT Pass Through
The CT passes directly through the meter without any physical termination on the meter.
This is preferable for utility users when sharing relay class CTs.
Method 2: Current “Gills”
This unit additionally provides ultra-rugged termination pass through bars that allow CT
leads to be terminated on the meter. This, too, eliminates any possible point of failure at
the meter. This is a preferred technique for insuring that relay class CT integrity is not
compromised (the CT will not open in a fault condition).

2.1.5 Utility Peak Demand

The EPM 7000 meter provides user-configured Block (Fixed) Window or Rolling Window
Demand modes. This feature enables you to set up a customized Demand profile. Block
Window Demand mode records the average demand for time intervals that you define
(usually 5, 15 or 30 minutes). Rolling Window Demand mode functions like multiple,
overlapping Block Window Demands. You define the subintervals at which an average of
demand is calculated. An example of Rolling Window Demand mode would be a 15-
minute Demand block using 5-minute subintervals, thus providing a new demand reading
every 5 minutes, based on the last 15 minutes.
Utility Demand Features can be used to calculate Watt, VAR, VA and PF readings. Voltage
provides an Instantaneous Max and Min reading which displays the highest surge and
lowest sag seen by the meter. All other parameters offer Max and Min
capability over the user-selectable averaging period.

Electrical Installation

4.1 Considerations When Installing Meters

POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL EXPOSURE - The EPM 7000/7000T must be installed in an
electrical enclosure where any access to live electrical wiring is restricted only to
authorized service personnel.

• Installation of the EPM 7000 meter must be performed by only qualified personnel
who follow standard safety precautions during all procedures. Those personnel
should have appropriate training and experience with high voltage devices.
Appropriate safety gloves, safety glasses and protective clothing is recommended.
• During normal operation of the EPM 7000 meter, dangerous voltages are present in
many parts of the meter, including: Terminals, CTs, PTs, I/O Modules. All Primary and
Secondary circuits can, at times, produce lethal voltages and currents. Avoid contact
with any current-carrying surfaces.
• Do not use the meter or any I/O Output Device for primary protection or in an
energy-limiting capacity. The meter can only be used as secondary protection.
• Do not use the meter for applications where failure of the meter may cause harm or
death.
• Do not use the meter for any application where there may be a risk of fire.
• All meter terminals should be inaccessible after installation.
• Do not apply more than the maximum voltage the meter or any attached device can
withstand. Refer to meter and/or device labels and to the Specifications for all devices
before applying voltages. Do not HIPOT/Dielectric test any Outputs, Inputs or
Communications terminals.

• The current inputs are only to be connected to external current transformers provided
NoteGE Digital Energy recommends the use of Shorting Blocks and Fuses for voltage leads and power supply to prevent
hazardous voltage conditions or damage to CTs, if the meter needs to be removed from service. CT grounding is optional.

by the installer. The CTs shall be Approved or Certified and rated for the current of the
meter used.

CT LEADS TERMINATED TO METER CHAPTER 4: ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

• If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the

Note

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

• There is no required preventive maintenance or inspection necessary for safety.
however, any repair or maintenance should be performed by the factory.

DISCONNECT DEVICE: A switch or circuit-breaker shall be included in the end-use

Note

equipment or building installation. The switch shall be in close proximity to the

equipment and within easy reach of the operator. The switch shall be marked as the
disconnecting device for the equipment.

4.2 CT Leads Terminated to Meter

The EPM 7000 meter is designed to have Current Inputs wired in one of three ways.
Diagram 4.1 shows the most typical connection where CT Leads are terminated to the
meter at the Current Gills. This connection uses Nickel-Plated Brass Studs (Current
Gills) with screws at each end. This connection allows the CT wires to be terminated
using either an “O” or a “U” lug. Tighten the screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. The
maximum installation torque is 1 Newton-Meter (8.8 lb-in).

CT LEADS PASS THROUGH (NO METER TERMINATION) CHAPTER 4: ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

4.3 CT Leads Pass Through (No Meter Termination)

The second method allows the CT wires to pass through the CT Inputs without
terminating at the meter. In this case, remove the Current Gills and place the CT wire
directly through the CT opening. The opening accommodates up to 0.177” / 4.5mm
maximum diameter CT wire.

4.5.2 Voltage Fuses

GE Digital Energy recommends the use of fuses on each of the sense voltages and on the
control power, even though the wiring diagrams in this chapter do not show them.
• Use a 0.1 Amp fuse on each voltage input.
• Use a 3 Amp Slow Blow fuse on the power supply.

Communication Installation

5.1 Multilin™ EPM 7000 Meter Communication

The EPM 7000 meter provides two independent Communication Ports. The first port, COM
1, is an Optical IrDA Port. The second port, COM 2, provides RS485 communication
speaking Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, and DNP 3.0 protocols. Additionally, the EPM 7000
meter has two optional communication cards: the Fiber Optic Communication Card and
the 10/100BaseT Ethernet Communication Card. See Chapters 7 and 8 for more
information on these options.

5.1.1 IrDA Port (COM 1)

The EPM 7000 meter’s COM 1 IrDA Port is on the face of the meter. The IrDA Port allows the
unit to be read and programmed without the need of a communication cable. Just point at
the meter with an IrDA-equipped laptop PC to configure it.

• Settings for COM 1 (IrDA Port) are configured using GE Communicator software.
Note

• This port only communicates via Modbus ASCII Protocol.

NOTE

5.1.2 RS485 / KYZ Output (COM 2)

COM 2 provides a combination RS485 and an Energy Pulse Output (KYZ pulse).
See Chapter 2, Section 2.2 for the KYZ Output Specifications; see Chapter 6, Section 6.4 for
Pulse Constants.

RS485 allows you to connect one or multiple EPM 7000 meters to a PC or other device, at
either a local or remote site. All RS485 connections are viable for up to 4000 feet (1219.20
meters).

Figure 5-2: EPM 7000 Meter Connected to a PC via RS485 bus

As shown in Figure 5.2, to connect a EPM 7000 meter to a PC, you need to use an RS485 to
RS232 converter.
Figure 5.3 shows the detail of a 2-wire RS485 connection.

CHAPTER 5: COMMUNICATION INSTALLATION MULTILIN™ EPM 7000 METER COMMUNICATION

Figure 5-3: 2-wire RS485 Connection

For All RS485 Connections:

Note

• Use a shielded twisted pair cable and ground the shield, preferably at one location
only.
• Establish point-to-point configurations for each device on a RS485 bus: connect (+)
terminals to (+) terminals; connect (-) terminals to (-) terminals.
• You may connect up to 31 meters on a single bus using RS485. Before assembling
the bus, each meter must have a unique address: refer to the GE Communicator
Instruction Manual for instructions.
• Protect cables from sources of electrical noise.
• Avoid both “Star” and “Tee” connections (see Figure 5.5).
• No more than two cables should be connected at any one point on an RS485
network, whether the connections are for devices, converters, or terminal strips.
• Include all segments when calculating the total cable length of a network. If you
are not using an RS485 repeater, the maximum length for cable connecting all
devices is 4000 feet (1219.20 meters).
• Connect shield to RS485 Master and individual devices as shown in Figure 5.4. You
may also connect the shield to earth-ground at one point.

Termination Resistors (RT) may be needed on both ends for longer length transmission
Note

lines. However, since the meter has some level of termination internally, Termination
Resistors may not be needed. When they are used, the value of the Termination
Resistors is determined by the electrical parameters of the cable.

The Multilin EPM 7000T transducer does not include a display on the front face of the
meter; there are no buttons or IrDA Port on the face of the meter. Programming and
communication utilize the RS485 connection on the back of the meter as shown in Figure
5.1. Once a connection is established, GE Communicator software can be used to program
the meter and communicate to Multilin EPM 7000T transducer slave devices.
Meter Connection
To provide power to the meter, attach an Aux cable to GND, L(+) and N(-). Refer to Section
4.6, Figure 1.

PERFORMING WATT-HOUR ACCURACY TESTING (VERIFICATION) CHAPTER 6: USING THE EPM 7000

6.4 Performing Watt-Hour Accuracy Testing (Verification)

To be certified for revenue metering, power providers and utility companies must verify
that the billing energy meter performs to the stated accuracy. To confirm the meter’s
performance and calibration, power providers use field test standards to ensure that the
unit’s energy measurements are correct. Since the EPM 7000 meter is a traceable revenue
meter, it contains a utility grade test pulse that can be used to gate an accuracy standard.
This is an essential feature required of all billing grade meters.
• Refer to Figure 6.5 for an example of how this process works.
• Refer to Table 6.1 for the Wh/Pulse Constants for Accuracy Testing.

8.4.4 NTP Time Server Synchronization

The network card can be configured to perform time synchronization through a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) server. This feature lets you synchronize the EPM 7000 meter’s real-
time clock with this outside source. See the GE Communicator Instruction Manual for
configuration instructions (Configuring the Network Card section). You can view the
manual online by clicking Help > Contents from the GE Communicator Main screen.

• The SNTP/NTP client protocol used in the network card is version 4, backward
Note

compatible to version 3.
NOTE
• After the meter boots up, it may take up to 20 seconds for the first time
synchronization request to be made.

8.4.5 Modbus and DNP over Ethernet

The E1 card enables up to 12 simultaneous sockets of Modbus TCP/IP and up to 5
simultaneous sockets of DNP 3.0 over Ethernet. This means that multiple users can poll the
meter using Modbus and/or DNP at the same time. For configuration instructions, refer to
the Network card settings section of Chapter 5 in the Communicator Manual.
Using DNP over Ethernet you can control Relay outputs and Status inputs, if you also have
a Relay Output/Status Input Option card installed in your meter.

8.4.6 Keep-Alive Feature

The E1 and E2 Network option cards support user configurable Keep-Alive timing settings.
The Keep-Alive feature is used by the TCP/IP layer for detecting broken connections. Once
detected, the connection is closed in the Network card, and the server port is freed. This
prevents the card from running out of server connections due to invalid links.
The Keep-Alive settings can be configured differently for each protocol group: Modbus
TCP/IP, DNP over Ethernet, IEC61850, and others.

Only modify these settings if you are knowledgeable about them, since setting them
incorrectly can lead to unstable connections.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 8–13

ETHERNET CARD FEATURES CHAPTER 8: USING THE ETHERNET CARD

To access the Keep-Alive setting screen, key the following into your web browser’s address
bar: http://xx.xx.xx.xx/sys/setup_keepalive_ssi.htm, where xx.xx.xx.xx is your E1 card’s IP
address. You will see the screen shown below.

• You can click on the On button to turn off the keep-alive feature for a protocol. The
button will turn red and say Off.
• For each protocol, you can enter a keep-alive time and interval in seconds.
• For each protocol, you can enter the number of retries, in the event of communication
failure, before the communication socket is closed.
• Enter the password (the default is chgK339@).
• Click Submit to implement your entries; click Restore to change back to previous
settings; click Default to revert to the default system settings.

IMPORTANT! You should not make changes to the settings unless you are sure of
what you are doing, since even small changes to the values on this screen can render
the network connection unstable. GE is not responsible for instability of the network
link when values other than the default are set.

logs, to increase or decrease the size of the individual historical logs. See the GE
Communicator Instruction Manual for additional information and instructions.
• Limit/Alarm Log: This log provides the magnitude and duration of events that fall
outside of configured acceptable limits. Time stamps and alarm value are provided
in the log. Up to 2,048 events can be logged. See the GE Communicator Instruction
Manual for additional information and instructions.
• I/O Change Log: This log is unique to the EPM 7000 meter. The I/O Change Log
provides a time-stamped record of any Relay Output/Digital Input or Pulse Output/
Digital Input Card output or input status changes. Up to 2,048 events can be
logged. Refer to the GE Communicator Instruction Manual for additional
information and instructions.
• System Events Log: In order to protect critical billing information, the EPM 7000
meter records and logs the following information with a timestamp:

The Exponent is 10001001 (binary) or 137 decimal.

The Exponent is a value in excess 127. So, the Exponent value is 10.
The Mantissa is 11000010001110110111001 binary.
With the implied leading 1, the Mantissa is (1).611DB9 (hex).
The Floating Point Representation is therefore -1.75871956 times 2 to the 10.
Decimal equivalent: -1800.929

• Exponent = the whole number before the decimal point.

Note

• Mantissa = the positive fraction after the decimal point.

NOTE

B.5 Retrieving Logs Using the EPM 7000 Meter's Modbus Map
This section describes the log interface system of the EPM 7000 meter from a
programming point of view. It is intended for Programmers implementing independent
drivers for Log Retrieval from the meter. It describes the meaning of the meter's Modbus
Registers related to Log Retrieval and Conversion, and details the procedure for retrieving
a log's records.

• All references assume the use of Modbus function codes 0x03, 0x06, and 0x10, where
Note

each register is a 2 byte MSB (Most Significant Byte) word, except where otherwise
NOTE
noted.
• The carat symbol (^) notation is used to indicate mathematical "power." For example,
2^8 means 28; which is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, which equals 256.

B.5.1 Data Formats

Timestamp: Stores a date from 2000 to 2099. Timestamp has a Minimum resolution of 1
second.

Byte 0 1 2 3 4 5

Value Year Month Day Hour Minute Second

Range 0-99 (+2000) 1-12 1-31 0-23 0-59 0-59

Mask 0x7F 0x0F 0x1F 0x1F 0x3F 0x3F

The high bits of each timestamp byte are used as flags to record meter state information
at the time of the timestamp. These bits should be masked out unless needed.

B.5.2 EPM 7000 Meter Logs

The EPM 7000 meter has 7 logs: System Event, Alarm (Limits), 3 Historical, I/O Change,
and Waveform. Each log is described below.

RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS

1. System Event (0): The System Event log is used to store events which happen
in, and to, the meter. Events include Startup, Reset Commands, Log Retrievals,
etc. The System Event Log Record takes 20 bytes, 14 bytes of which are
available when the log is retrieved.

2. Alarm Log (1): The Alarm Log records the states of the 8 Limits programmed in
the meter.
• Whenever a limit goes out (above or below), a record is stored with the
value that caused the limit to go out.
• Whenever a limit returns within limit, a record is stored with the "most out
of limit" value for that limit while it was out of limit.
The Alarm Log Record uses 16 bytes, 10 bytes of which are available when the log is
retrieved.

7. PQ Event Log (10): The Power Quality Event log records the information
regarding EPM 7000 meter trigger conditions, including the cause of the
trigger, conditions at the time of the trigger, and duration of the event.
8. Waveform Log (11): The waveform log records the waveform samples of a
capture, along with information about the capture. Due to the large amount of
data involved in a waveform capture (approximately 24kb), a single waveform
capture is split over 26 log records. All 26 of these records must be retrieved to
build up the single capture. Every waveform record contains a: record header,
capture number, record number and record payload.

B.5.3 Block Definitions

This section describes the Modbus Registers involved in retrieving and interpreting a EPM
7000 Meter Log. Other sections refer to certain 'values' contained in this section. See the
corresponding value in this section for details.

• “Register” is the Modbus Register Address in 0-based Hexadecimal notation. To

Note

convert it to 1-based decimal notation, convert from hex16 to decimal10 and add 1.
NOTE
For example: 0x03E7 = 1000.
• “Size” is the number of Modbus Registers (2 byte) in a block of data.
Historical Log Programmable Settings:
The Historical Logs are programmed using a list of Modbus Registers that will be copied
into the Historical Log record. In other words, Historical Log uses a direct copy of the
Modbus Registers to control what is recorded at the time of record capture.
To supplement this, the programmable settings for the Historical Logs contain a list of
descriptors, which group registers into items. Each item descriptor lists the data type of the
item, and the number of bytes for that item. By combining these two lists, the Historical
Log record can be interpreted.
For example: Registers 0x03E7 and 0x03E8 are programmed to be recorded by the
historical log. The matching descriptor gives the data type as float, and the size as 4 bytes.
These registers program the log to record "Primary Readings Volts A-N."
Historical Log Blocks:
Start Register: 0x7917 (Historical Log 1)

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL B–5

RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS

0x79D7 (Historical Log 2)

0x7A97 (Historical Log 3)
Block Size: 192 registers per log (384 bytes)
The Historical Log programmable settings are comprised of 3 blocks, one for each log.
Each is identical to the others, so only Historical Log 1 is described here. All register
addresses in this section are given as the Historical Log 1 address (0x7917).
Each Historical Log Block is composed of 3 sections: The header, the list of registers to
log, and the list of item descriptors.
Header:
Registers: 0x7917 - 0x7918
Size: 2 registers

Byte 0 1 2 3

Value # Registers # Sectors Interval

• # Registers: The number of registers to log in the record. The size of the record in
memory is [12 + (# Registers x 2)]. The size during normal log retrieval is [6 + (#
Registers x 2)]. If this value is 0, the log is disabled. Valid values are {0-117}.
• # Sectors: The number of Flash Sectors allocated to this log. Each sector is 64kb,
minus a sector header of 20 bytes. 15 sectors are available for allocation between
Historical Logs 1, 2, and 3. The sum of all Historical Logs may be less than 15. If
this value is 0, the log is disabled. Valid values are {0-15}.
• Interval: The interval at which the Historical Log's Records are captured. This value
is an enumeration:
0x01 1 minute
0x02 3 minute
0x04 5 minute
0x08 10 minute
0x10 15 minute
0x20 30 minute
0x40 60 minute
0x80 End of Interval (EOI) Pulse*
* Setting the interval to EOI causes a record to be logged whenever an EOI
pulse event is generated. This is most commonly used in conjunction with
the Digital I/O Option Cards.

The interval between records will not be even (fixed), and thus should not be used with
Note

programs that expect a fixed interval.

NOTE
Register List:
Registers: 0x7919 - 0x798D

B–6 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP

Size: 1 register per list item, 117 list items

The Register List controls what Modbus Registers are recorded in each record of the
Historical Log. Since many items, such as Voltage, Energy, etc., take up more than 1
register, multiple registers need to be listed to record those items.
For example: Registers 0x03E7 and 0x03E8 are programmed to be recorded by the
historical log. These registers program the log to record "Primary Readings Volts A-N."
• Each unused register item should be set to 0x0000 or 0xFFFF to indicate that it
should be ignored.
• The actual size of the record, and the number of items in the register list which are
used, is determined by the # registers in the header.
• Each register item is the Modbus Address in the range of 0x0000 to 0xFFFF.
Item Descriptor List:
Registers: 0x798E - 0x79C8
Size: 1 byte per item, 117 bytes (59 registers)
While the Register List describes what to log, the Item Descriptor List describes how to
interpret that information. Each descriptor describes a group of register items, and what
they mean.
Each descriptor is composed of 2 parts:
• Type: The data type of this descriptor, such as signed integer, IEEE floating point,
etc. This is the high nibble of the descriptor byte, with a value in the range of 0-14.
If this value is 0xFF, the descriptor should be ignored.
0 ASCII: An ASCII string, or byte array
1 Bitmap: A collection of bit flags
2 Signed Integer: A 2's Complement integer
3 Float: An IEEE floating point
4 Energy: Special Signed Integer, where the
value is adjusted by the energy settings in
the meter's Programmable Settings.

5 Unsigned Integer
6 Signed Integer 0.1 scale: Special Signed
Integer, where the value is divided by 10 to
give a 0.1 scale.

7-14 Unused
15 Disabled: used as end list marker.
• Size: The size in bytes of the item described. This number is used to determine the
pairing of descriptors with register items.
For example: If the first descriptor is 4 bytes, and the second descriptor is 2 bytes, then the
first 2 register items belong to the 1st descriptor, and the 3rd register item belongs to the
2nd descriptor.

As can be seen from the example, above, there is not a 1-to-1 relation between the register
Note

list and the descriptor list. A single descriptor may refer to multiple register items.

• Max Records: The maximum number of records the log can hold given the record
size, and sector allocation. The data type is an unsigned integer from 0 to 2^32.
• Records Used: The number of records stored in the log. This number will equal the
Max Records when the log has filled. This value will be set to 1 when the log is
reset. The data type is an unsigned integer from 1 to 2^32.

The first record in every log before it has rolled over is a "dummy" record, filled with all
Note

0xFF's. When the log is filled and rolls over, this record is overwritten.
NOTE
• Record Size: The number of bytes in this record, including the timestamp. The data
type is an unsigned integer in the range of 14 to 242.

When Log Retrieval is engaged, the Log Availability value will be set to the port that
Note

engaged the log. The Log Availability value will stay the same until either the log
NOTE has been disengaged, or 5 minutes have passed with no activity. It will then reset
to 0 (available).

Each log can only be retrieved by one port at a time.

Note

NOTE

Only one log at a time can be retrieved.

Note

NOTE

• First Timestamp: Timestamp of the oldest record.

• Last Timestamp: Timestamp of the newest record.
Log Retrieval Block:
The Log Retrieval Block is the main interface for retrieving logs. It is comprised of 2
parts: the header and the window. The header is used to program the particular data
the meter presents when a log window is requested. The window is a sliding block of
data that can be used to access any record in the specified log.

• Normal [0]: The default record. Contains a 6-byte timestamp at the
beginning, then N data bytes for the record data.
• Timestamp [1]: The record only contains the 6-byte timestamp. This is most
useful to determine a range of available data for non-interval based logs,
such as Alarms and System Events.
• Image [2]: The full record, as it is stored in memory. Contains a 2-byte
checksum, 4-byte sequence number, 6-byte timestamp, and then N data
bytes for the record data.
• Records Per Window: The number of records that fit evenly into a window. This
value is set-able, as less than a full window may be used. This number tells the
retrieving program how many records to expect to find in the window.
(RecPerWindow x RecSize) = #bytes used in the window.
This value should be ((123 x 2) \ recSize), rounded down.
For example, with a record size of 30, the RecPerWindow = ((123 x 2) \ 30) = 8.2 ~= 8
• Number of Repeats: Specifies the number of repeats to use for the Modbus
Function Code 0x23 (35). Since the meter must pre-build the response to each log
window request, this value must be set once, and each request must use the same
repeat count. Upon reading the last register in the specified window, the record
index will increment by the number of repeats, if auto-increment is enabled.
Section B.5.4.2 has additional information on Function Code 0x23.

Note that this must be set to 4 for waveform retrieval.

• Window Status: The status of the current window. Since the time to prepare a
window may exceed an acceptable modbus delay (1 second), this acts as a state
flag, signifying when the window is ready for retrieval. When this value indicates
that the window is not ready, the data in the window should be ignored. Window
Status is Read-only, any writes are ignored.
0 Window is Ready
0xFF Window is Not Ready
• Record Number: The record number of the first record in the data window. Setting
this value controls which records will be available in the data window.
• When the log is engaged, the first (oldest) record is "latched." This means
that record number 0 will always point to the oldest record at the time of
latching, until the log is disengaged (unlocked).
• To retrieve the entire log using auto-increment, set this value to 0, and
retrieve the window repeatedly, until all records have been retrieved.

When auto-increment is enabled, this value will automatically increment so that the
Note

window will "page" through the records, increasing by RecordsPerWindow each time that
NOTE
the last register in the window is read.
When auto-increment is not enabled, this value must be written-to manually, for each
window to be retrieved.

• Log Retrieval Data Window: The actual data of the records, arranged according to
the above settings.

B.5.4 Log Retrieval

Log Retrieval is accomplished in 3 basic steps:
1. Engage the log.
2. Retrieve each of the records.
3. Disengage the log.

Auto-Increment
In the traditional Modbus retrieval system, you write the index of the block of data to
retrieve, then read that data from a buffer (window). To improve the speed of retrieval,
the index can be automatically incremented each time the buffer is read.
In the EPM 7000 meter, when the last register in the data window is read, the record
index is incremented by the Records per Window.

Data ...
Function Code 0x23 is a user defined Modbus function code, which has a format
similar to Function Code 0x03, except for the inclusion of a "repeat count." The repeat
count (RC) is used to indicate that the same N registers should be read RC number of
times. (See the Number of Repeats bullet below.)

• By itself this feature would not provide any advantage, as the same data will be
Note

returned RC times. However, when used with auto-incrementing, this function

NOTE
condenses up to 8 requests into 1 request, which decreases communication time,
as fewer transactions are being made.
• Keep in mind that the contents of the response data is the block of data you
requested, repeated N times. For example, when retrieving log windows, you
normally request both the window index, and the window data. This means that
the first couple of bytes of every repeated block will contain the index of that
window.
• In the EPM 7000 meter repeat counts are limited to 8 times for Modbus RTU, and 4
times for Modbus ASCII.
The response for Function Code 0x23 is the same as for Function Code 0x03, with the
data blocks in sequence.

Before using function code 0x23, always check to see if the current connection
Note

supports it. Some relay devices do not support user defined function codes; if that is the
case, the message will stall. Other devices don't support 8 repeat counts.

Log Retrieval Procedure

The following procedure documents how to retrieve a single log from the oldest record to
the newest record, using the "normal" record type (see Scope). All logs are retrieved using
the same method. See Section B.5.4.4 for a Log Retrieval example.

• This example uses auto-increment.

Note

• In this example, Function Code 0x23 is not used.

NOTE
• You will find referenced topics in Section B.5.3. Block Definitions.
• Modbus Register numbers are listed in brackets.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL B–13

RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS

1. Engage the Log:

• Read the Log Status Block.
• Read the contents of the specific logs' status block [0xC737+, 16 reg] (see
Log Headers).
• Store the # of Records Used, the Record Size, and the Log
Availability.
• If the Log Availability is not 0, stop Log Retrieval; this log is not
available at this time. If Log Availability is 0, proceed to step 1b
(Engage the log).
This step is done to ensure that the log is available for retrieval, as well as
retrieving information for later use.
• Engage the log: write log to engage to Log Number, 1 to Enable, and the desired
mode to Scope (default 0 (Normal)) [0xC34F, 1 reg]. This is best done as a single-
register write.
This step will latch the first (oldest) record to index 0, and lock the log so that only
this port can retrieve the log, until it is disengaged.
• Verify the log is engaged: read the contents of the specific logs' status block
[0xC737+, 16 reg] again to see if the log is engaged for the current port (see Log
Availability). If the Log is not engaged for the current port, repeat step 1b (Engage
the log).
• Write the retrieval information.
• Compute the number of records per window, as follows:
RecordsPerWindow = (246 \ RecordSize)
• If using 0x23, set the repeat count to 2-8. Otherwise, set it to 1.
• Since we are starting from the beginning for retrieval, the first
record index is 0.
• Write the Records per window, the Number of repeats (1), and Record Index (0)
[0xC350, 3 reg].
This step tells the EPM 7000 meter what data to return in the window.
2. Retrieve the records:
• Read the record index and window: read the record index, and the data window
[0xC351, 125 reg].
• If the meter Returns a Slave Busy Exception, repeat the request.
• If the Window Status is 0xFF, repeat the request.
• If the Window Status is 0, go to step 2b (Verify record index).

• We read the index and window in 1 request to minimize communication time, and to
Note

ensure that the record index matches the data in the data window returned.
NOTE
• Space in the window after the last specified record (RecordSize x RecordPerWindow) is
padded with 0xFF, and can be safely discarded.
• Verify that the record index incremented by Records Per Window. The record index
of the retrieved window is the index of the first record in the window. This value will
increase by Records Per Window each time the window is read, so it should be 0, N,
N x 2, N x 3. . . for each window retrieved.

B–14 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP

• If the record index matches the expected record index, go to step 2c

(Compute next expected record index).
• If the record index does not match the expected record index, then go to
step 1d (Write the retrieval information), where the record index will be the
same as the expected record index. This will tell the EPM 7000 meter to
repeat the records you were expecting.
• Compute next Expected Record Index.
• If there are no remaining records after the current record window, go to
step 3 (Disengage the log).
• Compute the next expected record index by adding Records Per Window,
to the current expected record index. If this value is greater than the
number of records, re-size the window so it only contains the remaining
records and go to step 1d (Write the retrieval information), where the
Records Per Window will be the same as the remaining records.
3. Disengage the log: write the Log Number (of log being disengaged) to the Log Index
and 0 to the Enable bit [0xC34F, 1 reg].

Log Retrieval Example

The following example illustrates a log retrieval session. The example makes the
following assumptions:
• Log Retrieved is Historical Log 1 (Log Index 2).
• Auto-Incrementing is used.
• Function Code 0x23 is not used (Repeat Count of 1).
• The Log contains Volts-AN, Volts-BN, Volts-CN (12 bytes).
• 100 Records are available (0-99).
• COM Port 2 (RS485) is being used (see Log Availability).
• There are no Errors.
• Retrieval is starting at Record Index 0 (oldest record).
• Protocol used is Modbus RTU. The checksum is left off for simplicity.
• The EPM 7000 meter is at device address 1.
• No new records are recorded to the log during the log retrieval process.

• This retrieves the actual window. Repeat this command as many times as
Note

necessary to retrieve all of the records when auto-increment is enabled.

NOTE
• Note the filler record. When a log is reset (cleared) in the meter, the meter always
adds a first "filler" record, so that there is always at least 1 record in the log. This
"filler" record can be identified by the data being all 0xFF, and it being index 0. If a
record has all 0xFF for data, the timestamp is valid, and the index is NOT 0, then the
record is legitimate.
• When the "filler" record is logged, its timestamp may not be "on the interval." The
next record taken will be on the next "proper interval," adjusted to the hour. For
example, if the interval is 1 minute, the first "real" record will be taken on the next
minute (no seconds). If the interval is 15 minutes, the next record will be taken at
:15, :30, :45, or :00 - whichever of those values is next in sequence.

• This step manually sets the record index, and is primarily used when an out-of-
Note

order record index is returned on a read (step 6).

NOTE
• The example assumes that the second window retrieval failed somehow, and we
need to recover by requesting the records starting at index 13 again.

8. For each record in the retrieved window, copy and save the data for later
interpretation.
9. Increment Current Index by RecordsPerWindow.

• This is the step that determines how much more of the log we need to retrieve.
Note

• On the first N passes, Records Per Window should be 13 (as computed in step 4),
NOTE
and the current index should be a multiple of that (0, 13, 26, . . .). This amount will
decrease when we reach the end (see step 10).
• If the current index is greater than or equal to the number of records (in this case
100), then all records have been retrieved; go to step 12. Otherwise, go to step 10
to check if we are nearing the end of the records.

10. If number records - current index < RecordsPerWindow, decrease to match.

• Here we bounds-check the current index, so we don't exceed the records available.
Note

• If the number of remaining records (#records - current index) is less than the

Records per Window, then the next window is the last, and contains less than a full
window of records. Make records per window equal to remaining records
(#records-current index). In this example, this occurs when current index is 91 (the

• b20 - b16 hour
• b13 - b8 minute
• b5 - b0 second
• unused bits are always 0
• Sync method: 1 = NTP.
• Stimulus for a flash sector error indicates what the flash was doing when the error
occurred: 1 = acquire sector, 2 = startup, 3 = empty sector, 4 = release sector, 5 =
write data
• Flash error counters are reset to zero in the unlikely event that both copies in
EEPROM are corrupted.
• The flash job queue is flushed (and log records are lost) in the unlikely event that
the queue runs out of space.
• A "babbling log" is one that is saving records faster than the meter can handle long
term. When babbling is detected, the log is frozen and no records are appended
until babbling ceases. For as long as babbling persists, a summary of records
discarded is logged every 60 minutes. Normal logging resumes when there have
been no new append attempts for 30 seconds. Onset of babbling occurs when a
log fills a flash sector in less than an hour (applies only to Alarm, I/O Change,
Historical, and Power Quality logs), when the log fills or wraps around in less than
two minutes (applies only to Waveform log), when the number of unassigned
sectors becomes dangerously low (applies only to Waveform log), or when a log
grows so far beyond its normal bounds that it is in danger of crashing the system.
This applies to all logs except the System log, which does not babble. While
possible for the other logs during an extended log retrieval session, it is extremely
unlikely to occur for any logs except the Waveform log.
• Logging of diagnostic records may be suppressed via a bit in programmable
settings.
Alarm Record:

Byte 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Value timestamp direction limit# Value%

Size: 10 bytes (16 bytes image)

Data: The Alarm record data is 4 bytes, and specifies which limit the event occurred
on, and the direction of the event (going out of limit, or coming back into limit).
• Direction: The direction of the alarm event: whether this record indicates the limit
going out, or coming back into limit.
1 Going out of limit

RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS

2 Coming back into limit

Bit 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Value type 0 0 0 0 Limit ID

• Limit Type: Each limit (1-8) has both an above condition and a below condition.
Limit Type indicates which of those the record represents.
0 High Limit
1 Low Limit
• Limit ID: The specific limit this record represents. A value in the range 0-7, Limit ID
represents Limits 1-8. The specific details for this limit are stored in the
programmable settings.
• Value: Depends on the Direction:
• If the record is "Going out of limit," this is the value of the limit when the
"Out" condition occurred.
• If the record is "Coming back into limit," this is the "worst" value of the limit
during the period of being "out": for High (above) limits, this is the highest
value during the "out" period; for Low (below) limits, this is the lowest value
during the “out" period.

Byte 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Value Identifier Above Setpoint Above Hyst. Below Setpoint Below Hyst.

Interpretation of Alarm Data:

To interpret the data from the alarm records, you need the limit data from the
Programmable Settings [0x754B, 40 registers].
There are 8 limits, each with an Above Setpoint, and a Below Setpoint. Each setpoint
also has a threshold (hysteresis), which is the value at which the limit returns "into"
limit after the setpoint has been exceeded. This prevents "babbling" limits, which can
be caused by the limit value fluttering over the setpoint, causing it to go in and out of
limit continuously.
• Identifier: The first modbus register of the value that is being watched by this limit.
While any modbus register is valid, only values that can have a Full Scale will be
used by the EPM 7000 meter.
• Above Setpoint: The percent of the Full Scale above which the value for this limit
will be considered "out".
• Valid in the range of -200.0% to +200.0%
• Stored as an integer with 0.1 resolution. (Multiply % by 10 to get the
integer, divide integer by 10 to get %. For example, 105.2% = 1052.)
• Above Hysteresis: The percent of the Full Scale below which the limit will return
"into" limit, if it is out. If this value is above the Above Setpoint, this Above limit will
be disabled.
• Valid in the range of -200.0% to +200.0%.

• Stored as an integer with 0.1 resolution. (Multiply % by 10 to get the

integer, divide integer by 10 to get %. For example, 104.1% = 1041.)
• Below Setpoint: The percent of the Full Scale below which the value for this limit
will be considered "out".
• Valid in the range of -200.0% to +200.0%.
• Stored as an integer with 0.1 resolution. (Multiply % by 10 to get the
integer, divide integer by 10 to get %. For example, 93.5% = 935.)
• Below Hysteresis: The percent of the Full Scale above which the limit will return
"into" limit, if it is out. If this value is below the Below Setpoint, this Below limit will
be disabled.
• Valid in the range of -200.0% to +200.0%.
• Stored as an integer with 0.1 resolution. (Multiply % by 10 to get the
integer, divide integer by 10 to get %. For example, 94.9% = 949.)

The Full Scale is the "nominal" value for each of the different types of readings. To compute
Note

the Full Scale, use the following formulas:

• To interpret a limit alarm fully, you need both the start and end record (for
duration).
• There are a few special conditions related to limits:
• When the meter powers up, it detects limits from scratch. This means that
multiple "out of limit" records can be in sequence with no "into limit"
records. Cross- reference the System Events for Power Up events.
• This also means that if a limit is "out," and it goes back in during
the power off condition, no "into limit" record will be recorded.
• The "worst" value of the "into limit" record follows the above
restrictions; it only represents the values since power up. Any
values before the power up condition are lost.

Value timestamp values . . .

Size: 6+2 x N bytes (12+2 x N bytes), where N is the number of registers stored.
Data: The Historical Log Record data is 2 x N bytes, which contains snapshots of the
values of the associated registers at the time the record was taken. Since the meter
uses specific registers to log, with no knowledge of the data it contains, the
Programmable Settings need to be used to interpret the data in the record. See
Historical Logs Programmable Settings for details.

B.5.7 Waveform Log Retrieval

The waveform log is unique among the logs in that each capture is composed of 26
waveform records, and each record requires 4 windows to retrieve. For more information
on record retrieval, see Section B.5.4.3. The 26 waveform records adhere to the following
byte-map.

Size Content Notes Offset

6 bytes timestamp All 26 records have the same 0
timestamp
1 byte capture number All 26 records have the same 6
capture number
1 byte record number Records are numbered 0-25 7
962 bytes record payload Waveform record payload. All 26 8
waveform record payloads
combined create a waveform
capture

A single waveform capture is the aggregation of all 26 waveform record payloads, thus
totaling 25,012 bytes in size. The resulting waveform capture contains the following byte
structure:

The order of the channels is not fixed. The channel ID (first 2 bytes of the 4098 bytes) must

be used to determine which channel block is being presented.

Breaking the waveform capture down further, the specific blocks (Header and Channel

Parsing a Waveform Capture

To parse the waveform capture, follow this procedure:
1. Download the entire capture. When engaging the log for retrieval, the number of
records will always be 1, and the repeat count will always be 4. Because of the large
records (970 bytes), you must use Function Code 0x23, with 4 repeat counts. An
example request message would be: 0123C351007C04. See Section B.5.4.3 for details.
It may take a while to get a response, so if you get a Slave Busy Modbus exception, try
again.
2. The data that comes back will be the window index and window data, repeated 4
times. For each block, you must check that the window status and window index are
correct.
If the window status is 0xFF, then the data is not ready, and you should request that
record again. See Section B.5.4.4 for an example of this point.
3. Once you know you have the right data, check the waveform record header to make
sure you have received the correct record and then parse the data by copying out the
window data and skipping the window indices.

B–32 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP

You should be receiving waveform records sequentially, from 0 to 25. If the number is
out of order, or invalid, then the waveform may be corrupt, and you should retrieve
the waveform capture from the beginning by manually setting the record index to
start at.
Once you know you have the right record, from window index 0 the first 8 bytes (the
timestamp and record info) must be skipped. This will result in a stripping of the Record
Header, Capture and Record Numbers which will leave only the Waveform Record
Payload (see the table on B-43). You only need to store the timestamp from the first
record, as each of the 26 records have the same timestamp.
4. Copy the record data (record payload) to the output (e.g., an array of byte arrays -
each byte array representing a waveform record) and repeat this stripping process for
all 26 waveform records. Once done, combine all 26 header-stripped records into a
single byte array thus creating the waveform capture:
const uint RECORD_PAYLOAD_SIZE = 962;
const uint MAX_WAVEFORM_CAPTURE_SIZE = 25012;
...
byte[] waveform_capture = new byte[MAX_WAVEFORM_CAPTURE_SIZE];
...
// combine all binary data from waveform records to create waveform capture
for (int i = 0; i < 26; ++i)
{
waveform_record[i].CopyTo(waveform_capture, RECORD_PAYLOAD_SIZE * i);
}
Here is an example of the beginning of a waveform capture from the above instruction:

Processing a Waveform Capture

Once the waveform capture has been created, you can use the waveform capture byte-
map (see tables earlier in this section) to extract the RMS and channel sample data values
desired. Take note that the waveform capture byte-map is in MSB (hibyte, lo-byte) form.
The following is an example snippet in which we first parse the waveform capture header
values and then each waveform capture channel block using a predefined function.

We assume the channel blocks to be in order in this example, e.g. AN, IA, BN, IB, CN, IC.
Note

These channels can be in any order and it is up to you to check which channel ID values
NOTE
you are currently processing.

List<int> current_ic = GetChannelSampleData(waveform_capture,

To convert the acquired RMS and channel sample data values into their primary values,
the following formula must be applied:

• ADC Value is the primary value desired to be acquired. Can refer to either:
• RMS values (Trigger Cycle RMS, Trigger Cycle RMS, etc.)
• Sample values (Volts AN, Current IA, Volts BN, etc.)
• Calibration is the sample calibration value for corresponding channel.
• Ratio is either PT Ratio or CT Ratio (acquired from Programmable Settings)
• PT Ratio for voltage
• CT Ratio for current
For example, if you are looking for the primary Trigger RMS Va value and given the

following:

Additional Waveform Processing

Waveform trigger condition information can also be collected from the waveform capture.
As processed in the previous section, the following header values will be used for
the trigger conditions:

trigger_source = BitConverter.ToUInt16(new byte[2] { waveform_capture[0],

waveform_capture[1] }, 0);
sample_rate = waveform_capture[2];
trigger_type= waveform_capture[4];
trigger_capture_num = waveform_capture[5];
trigger_cycle_tag = BitConverter.ToUInt16(new byte[2] { waveform_capture[6],
waveform_capture[7] }, 0);
The trigger source value acquired from the waveform capture header must be parsed to
get the specific trigger condition error string (for example, voltage surge or voltage sag).
bool deltaHookup; // hookup flag
...
int[] trigger_state = new int[16]; // to represent 16 individual "bits"
Array.Clear(trigger_state, 0, trigger_state.Length); // set all "bits" to 0
// set the individual trigger_state bit flags using trigger_- source from waveform capture
for (int i = 0; i < trigger_state.Length; ++i)
{
trigger_state[i] = (trigger_source / (2 ^ i)) & 1;// remember hi-byte+lo-byte order
}
...
String triggered_str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < trigger_state.Length; ++i)

The trigger cycle tag value from the waveform capture header provides the specific cycle
within the waveform capture on which the trigger condition occurred. To give an example
of what the trigger cycle tag provides, the following is a snippet from a CSV generated
output of the raw sample values (non-primary values) from a waveform capture. The index
at which the samples are located within the CSV file is specified in the first column. With a
trigger cycle tag of 512 and the following table:

Samples

27 0 0 0 0 0 0
28 6768 6792 5840 6800 5784 6880

Samples

542 5960 6752 5856 6800 5776 6912

Seeing as the samples began being recorded at index 27 within the CSV output, that value
has to be added to the trigger cycle tag value as an offset to get the exact cycle of where
the trigger condition occurred, which would be at index 539.
Sample Rate is the number of samples in a single cycle at a nominal 60 Hertz. For example,
at a sample rate of 512, there are 512 samples in a single nominal (time locked) cycle. Note
that this means that there are 512 samples every 16.6~ms.
The sample rate also affects the duration of the capture. Since the capture records a fixed
number of samples, the number of cycles recorded is dynamic based off the sampling
rate. For example, at 512 samples per cycle, 4 cycles can be record. At 32 samples per
cycle, 64 cycles can be recorded.
To calculate the duration of the capture, in milliseconds, the following formula must be
applied:

• number of samples is number of samples in the capture per channel (2048 samples)
For example, given a sample rate of 1024, the duration would be:
( (2048 * 1000) / (1024 * 60) ) = ( 2048000 / 61440 ) = 33.333 ms

Processing a PQ Event Record

The worst excursion RMS values are specified as ADC values, and to convert them to
primary, you use the same primary value formula provided under Processing a Waveform
Capture on page B-47.
PQ events come with numerous PQ records. From this numerous set, normally there exists
a specific pair of PQ records (special cases will be discussed later), one that is created at
the beginning of the PQ event and one created at the end of the PQ event - an Out and
Return PQ record. Using these two records along with all the other PQ records in between
them, you will be able to calculate the duration of the PQ event.
To further elaborate, whenever an "out" event happens (i.e., when a voltage surge or sag
occurs), the "Out" PQ Record for that PQ event is created. Likewise, when this said "out"
event returns (i.e., the voltage surge or sag returns to normal levels), the "Return" PQ Record
for that PQ event is created. From these two particular PQ
records, calculating the difference of their timestamps will provide the duration of the PQ
event. However, neither of the two PQ records (i.e., the Out and Return) know of each other.
In order to find a particular Out and Return PQ record pair, the present states and event
channel byte arrays from all the PQ records, including and in between the Out and Return
PQ records themselves, must be used (see instructions for Parsing a PQ Event Record).
Here is the bitmap for both the present states and event channel byte arrays:

Both the present states and event channels use their bits as a series of TRUE/FALSE flags to
signify change. The present states byte array flags tell whether or not an out event has
occurred (e.g. been triggered) on a specific channel (see table above). In normal cases,
after the Out PQ record, all the succeeding PQ records up until the Return PQ record will all

RETRIEVING LOGS USING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS

have triggered present states (e.g., TRUE flags) for that same channel. The Return PQ
record, which represents the end of a PQ event, will end the TRUE sequence by having its
flag set to FALSE for that channel.
From the event channel byte array perspective, whenever a change occurred within the
present states byte array, it sets its flag for that channel to TRUE. Whenever that channel
reverts back to its previous state, then the event channel flag will be triggered again (set to
TRUE) for that channel.
The following is a snippet of the present state and event channel byte arrays:

x = TRUE, empty = FALSE)

Only the first 3 bits are being shown for the present states and event channel byte arrays
(along with their timestamps) in the example provided and from the snippet above, three
different example scenarios can be observed. The following example explanations serve
only to show the behavior of the two byte arrays as well as show how to calculate the
duration by determining the Out and Return PQ records in the given situations.
The surge occurring on Channel Vb is an example of a normal PQ event where both the
beginning (Out) and end (Return) can easily be determined. It is shown to have surged
starting from PQ record 2. All the subsequent PQ records continued to surge on the same
channel until reaching PQ record 8. Looking at the event channel byte array, a change had
occurred on both PQ records 2 and 8. Using the information from both byte arrays, it is

B–44 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING THE EPM 7000 METER'S MODBUS MAP

easy to see that PQ record 2 is the Out Record and PQ record 8 is the Return Record. Thus
the PQ event duration is simply the timestamp difference between those two records (e.g.,
6 seconds).
The following examples describe error conditions which may occur in the PQ records when
PQ trigger conditions are missed. For example, if a surge comes back into limit while the
meter is resetting, it may not record the return to normal event. Channel Va shows an
example of a special case where the surge on PQ record 3 is not recorded under the Event
Channel for that same record. This shows a discrepancy where a PQ record or numerous
PQ records may be missing before the entry of PQ record 3. Under these situations, it may
not be possible to find the Out Record (the beginning of a PQ event). This can be detected
by an Out condition in the Present states table, with no matching change in the Event
Channel table.
Channel Vc shows an example of a special case where the surge on PQ records 4-5 do not
show a return to normal condition in the Event Channel in record 6. This shows a
discrepancy where a PQ record or numerous PQ records may be missing between records
5 and 6. Under these situations, it may not be possible to find the Return to Normal Record
(the end of a PQ event). This can be detected by an Out condition in the Present states
table, followed by a normal condition in the Present states table, with no matching change
in the Event Channel table.

B.6 Important Note Concerning the EPM 7000 Meter's Modbus Map
In depicting Modbus Registers (Addresses), the EPM 7000 meter's Modbus map uses
Holding Registers only.

B.6.1 Hex Representation

The representation shown in the table below is used by developers of Modbus drivers and
libraries, SEL 2020/2030 programmers and Firmware Developers. The EPM 7000 meter's
Modbus map also uses this representation.

Hex Description

0008 - 000F Meter Serial Number

B.6.2 Decimal Representation

The EPM 7000 meter's Modbus map defines Holding Registers as (4X) registers. Many
popular SCADA and HMI packages and their Modbus drivers have user interfaces that
require users to enter these Registers starting at 40001. So instead of entering two
separate values, one for register type and one for the actual register, they have been
combined into one number.
The EPM 7000 meter's Modbus map uses a shorthand version to depict the decimal fields,
i.e., not all of the digits required for entry into the SCADA package UI are shown. For
example:

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL B–45

MODBUS REGISTER MAP (MM-1 TO MM-32) APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS

You need to display the meter's serial number in your SCADA application. The EPM 7000
meter's Modbus map shows the following information for meter serial number:

Decimal Description

9 - 16 Meter Serial Number

In order to retrieve the meter's serial number, enter 40009 into the SCADA UI as the starting
register, and 8 as the number of registers.
• In order to work with SCADA and Driver packages that use the 40001 to 49999
method for requesting holding registers, take 40000 and add the value of the
register (Address) in the decimal column of the Modbus Map. Then enter the
number (e.g., 4009) into the UI as the starting register.
• For SCADA and Driver packages that use the 400001 to 465536 method for
requesting holding registers take 400000 and add the value of the register
(Address) in the decimal column of the Modbus Map. Then enter the number (e.g.,
400009) into the UI as the starting register. The drivers for these packages strip off
the leading four and subtract 1 from the remaining value. This final value is used as
the starting register or register to be included when building the actual modbus
message.

APPENDIX B: MODBUS MAP AND RETRIEVING LOGS MODBUS REGISTER MAP (MM-1 TO MM-32)

Data Formats

ASCII ASCII characters packed 2 per register in high, low order and without any termination characters. For example,
"EPM7000" would be 4 registers containing 0x5378, 0x6172, 0x6B32, 0x3030.
SINT16 / UINT16 16-bit signed / unsigned integer.

SINT32 / UINT32 32-bit signed / unsigned integer spanning 2 registers. The lower-addressed register is the high order half.

FLOAT 32-bit IEEE floating point number spanning 2 registers. The lower-addressed register is the high order half (i.e.,
contains the exponent).
TSTAMP 3 adjacent registers, 2 bytes each. First (lowest-addressed) register high byte is year (0-99), low byte is month
(1-12). Middle register high byte is day(1-31), low byte is hour (0-23 plus DST bit). DST (daylight saving time) bit is
bit 6 (0x40). Third register high byte is minutes (0-59), low byte is seconds (0-59). For example, 9:35:07AM on
October 12, 2049 would be 0x310A, 0x0C49, 0x2307, assuming DST is in effect.

Notes

1 All registers not explicitly listed in the table read as 0. Writes to these registers will be accepted but won't actually change the
register (since it doesn't exist).
2 Meter Data Section items read as 0 until first readings are available or if the meter is not in operating mode. Writes to these
registers will be accepted but won't actually change the register.
3 Register valid only in programmable settings update mode. In other modes these registers read as 0 and return an illegal
data address exception if a write is attempted.
4 Meter command registers always read as 0. They may be written only when the meter is in a suitable mode. The registers
return an illegal data address exception if a write is attempted in an incorrect mode.
5 If the password is incorrect, a valid response is returned but the command is not executed. Use 5555 for the password if
passwords are disabled in the programmable settings.
6 M denotes a 1,000,000 multiplier.

7 Each identifier is a Modbus register. For entities that occupy multiple registers (FLOAT, SINT32, etc.) all registers making up the
entity must be listed, in ascending order. For example, to log phase A volts, VAs, voltage THD, and VA hours, the register list
would be 0x3E7, 0x3E8, 0x411, 0x412, 0x176F, 0x61D, 0x61E and the number of registers (0x7917 high byte) would be 7.
8 Writing this register causes data to be saved permanently in nonvolatile memory. Reply to the command indicates that it
was accepted but not whether or not the save was successful. This can only be determined after the meter has restarted.
9 Reset commands make no sense if the meter state is LIMP. An illegal function exception will be returned.

10 Energy registers should be reset after a format change.

11 Entities to be monitored against limits are identified by Modbus address. Entities occupying multiple Modbus registers, such
as floating point values, are identified by the lower register address. If any of the 8 limits is unused, set its identifier to zero. If
the indicated Modbus register is not used or is a nonsensical entity for limits, it will behave as an unused limit.
12 There are 2 setpoints per limit, one above and one below the expected range of values. LM1 is the "too high" limit, LM2 is "too
low". The entity goes "out of limit" on LM1 when its value is greater than the setpoint. It remains "out of limit" until the value
drops below the in threshold. LM2 works similarly, in the opposite direction. If limits in only one direction are of interest, set
the in threshold on the "wrong" side of the setpoint. Limits are specified as % of full scale, where full scale is automatically set
appropriately for the entity being monitored:
current FS = CT numerator * CT multiplier

voltage FS = PT numerator * PT multiplier

3 phase power FS = CT numerator * CT multiplier * PT numerator * PT multiplier * 3 [ * SQRT(3) for delta hookup]

single phase FS = CT numerator * CT multiplier * PT numerator * PT multiplier [ * SQRT(3) for delta hookup]
power
frequency FS = 60 (or 50)
frequency
power factor FS = 1.0

percentage FS = 100.0

angle FS = 180.0

13 THD not available shows 10000 in all THD and harmonic magnitude and phase registers for the channel. THD may be

15 A block of data and control registers is allocated for each option slot. Interpretation of the register data depends on what
card is in the slot.
16 Measurement states: Off occurs during programmable settings updates; Run is the normal measuring state; Limp indicates
that an essentail non-volatile memory block is corrupted; and Warmup occurs briefly (approximately 4 seconds) at startup
while the readings stabilize. Run state is required for measurement, historical logging, demand interval processing, limit
alarm evaluation, min/max comparisons, and THD calculations. Resetting min/max or energy is allowed only in run and off
states; warmup will return a busy exception. In limp state, the meter reboots at 5 minute intervals in an effort to clear the
problem.
17 Limits evaluation for all entites except demand averages commences immediately after the warmup period. Evaluation for
demand averages, maximum demands, and minimum demands commences at the end of the first demand interval after
startup.
18 Autoincrementing and function 35 must be used when retrieving waveform logs.

19 Depending on the Option selected, there are 15, 29, or 45 flash sectors available in a common pool for distribution among
the 3 historical and waveform logs. The pool size, number of sectors for each log, and the number of registers per record
together determine the maximum number of records a log can hold.
S = number of sectors assigned to the log,
H = number of Modbus registers to be monitored in each historical record (up to 117),
R = number of bytes per record = (12 + 2H) for historical logs
N = number of records per sector = 65516 / R, rounded down to an integer value (no partial records in a sector)
T = total number of records the log can hold = S * N
T = S * 2 for the waveform log.
20 Only 1 input on all digital input cards may be specified as the end-of-interval pulse.

21 Logs cannot be reset during log retrieval. Waveform log cannot be reset while storing a capture. Busy exception will be
returned.
22 Combination of class and type currently defined are:

EPM 7000 Power Quality Meter

Appendix C: DNP Mapping

DNP Mapping

C.1 Overview
This Appendix describes the functionality of the EPM 7000 meter's version of the DNP
protocol. A DNP programmer must follow this information in order to retrieve data from the
EPM 7000 meter. The DNP used by the EPM 7000 is a reduced set of the Distributed
Network Protocol Version 3.0 subset 2; it gives enough functionality to get critical
measurements from the EPM 7000 meter.
The EPM 7000 meter's DNP version supports Class 0 object/qualifiers 0,1,2,6, only. No
event generation is supported. The EPM 7000 meter always acts as a secondary device
(slave) in DNP communication.
An important feature allows DNP readings in primary units with user-set scaling for
current, voltage, and power. (See the GE Communicator Instruction Manual for instructions.)

C.2 Physical Layer

DNP uses both Network (TCP/IP) and serial communication. DNP3 serial communication
can be assigned to Port 2 (RS485 compliant port) or any communication capable option
board. Serial Speed and data format are transparent for DNP: they can be set to any
supported value. The IrDA port cannot use DNP. DNP3 over Ethernet is supported along
with Modbus via a DNP3-enabled Network card. DNP packets should be directed to the
port assigned for DNP during the meter’s Device Profile configuration (see the GE
Communicator Instruction Manual for instructions). The DNP implementation is identical,
regardless of the physical layer being used.

DATA LINK LAYER APPENDIX C: DNP MAPPING

C.3 Data Link Layer

The EPM 7000 meter can be assigned with a value from 1 to 65534 as the target device
address for DNP. The data link layer follows the standard frame FT3 used by the DNP
Version 3.0 protocol, but only 4 functions are implemented: Reset Link, Reset User,
Unconfirmed User Data, and Link Status, as depicted in the following table.

Table C.1: Supported Link Functions

Function Function Code

Reset Link 0

Reset User 1

Unconfirmed User Data 4

Link Status 9

Refer to Section C.7 for more detail on supported frames for the data link layer.
In order to establish a clean communication with the EPM 7000 meter, we recommend you
perform the Reset Link and Reset User functions. The Link Status is not mandatory, but if
queried, it will be attended to. The inter-character time-out for the EPM 7000 meter's DNP
version is 1 second. If this amount of time, or more, elapses between two consecutive
characters within a FT3 frame, the frame will be dropped.

C.4 Application Layer

In the EPM 7000 meter, the EPM 7000 meter's DNP version supports the Read, Write, Select,
Operate, Direct Operate and Direct Operate Unconfirmed functions. All Application layer
requests and responses follow the DNP standard.Some sample requests and responses are
included in this Appendix (see Section C.8).
• The Read function (code 01) provides a means for reading the critical
measurement data and status from the meter. This function code, depending upon
the qualifier, cab be used to read an individual object and point, a group of points
within an object, or all points within an object. It is also used to read Object 60,
variation 1, which will read all the available Class 0 objects from the DNP register
map (see the Object map in Section C.6). In order to retrieve all objects with their
respective variations, the qualifier must be set to ALL (0x06). See Section C.7 for an
example showing a Read Class 0 request-data from the meter.
• The Write function (code 02) provides a mean for clearing the Device restart bit in
the Internal Indicator register only. This is mapped to Object 80, point 0 with
variation 1. When clearing the restart-device indicator use qualifier 0. Section C.7
shows the supported frames for this function.
• The Select function (code 03) provides a means of selecting a Control Relay Output
Block (CROB) (Object 12). This function can be used to select the Energy or Demand
counters, or to select a Relay if there are any installed in the device.
• The Operate function (code 04) provides the means for repeating the operation of a
previously selected CROB (Object 12) device. This function can be used to reset the

C–2 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX C: DNP MAPPING ERROR REPLY

Energy or Demand counters, or to operate a Relay if there are any installed in the
device. The device must have been previously selected by the request
immediately preceding the Operate command, and be received within the
specified time limit (the default is 30 seconds). This function uses the same
operation rules as a Direct Operate function.
• The Direct Operate function (code 05) provides the means for the direct operation
of a CROB (Object 12) device. This function can be used for resetting the Energy
and Demand counters (minimum and maximum energy registers) or controlling
relays if there are any installed in the device. The relay must be operated (On) in 0
msec and released (Off) in 1 msec, only. Qualifiers 0x17 or x28 are supported for
writing the energy reset. Sample frames are shown in Section C.7.
• The Direct Operate Unconfirmed (or Unacknowledged) function (code 06) is
intended for asking the communication port to switch to Modbus RTU protocol
from the EPM 7000 meter's DNP version. This switching is seen as a control relay
mapped into Object 12, point 1 in the meter. The relay must be operated with
qualifier 0x17, code 3 count 0, with 0 millisecond on and 1 millisecond off, only.
After sending this request the current communication port will accept Modbus RTU
frames only. To make this port go back to DNP protocol, the unit must be power-
recycled. Section C.7 shows the constructed frame to perform DNP to Modbus RTU
protocol change.

This function has no effect when requested via a Network card.

NoteNOTE:

NOTE

C.5 Error Reply

In the case of an unsupported function, or any other recognizable error, an error reply will
be generated from the EPM 7000 meter to the Primary station (the requester). The Internal
Indicator field will report the type of error: unsupported function or bad parameter.
The broadcast acknowledge and restart bit, are also signaled in the internal indicator but
they do not indicate an error condition.

C.6 Object Specifics

• Object 1 - Binary Input Status with Flags - These data points are mapped to the Digital
Inputs on any Digital Relay Cards (RO1S) installed in the EPM 7000 meter. They are
only available if at least one Digital Relay Card is installed in the meter. The inputs on a
card in Slot 1 are mapped to Points 0 and 1. The inputs on a card in Slot 2 are mapped
to Points 2 and 3. If there is no card installed in a slot, those points will return a status
with the "Offline" bit set.
• Object 10 - Binary Output States - These data points are mapped to the Digital Relays
on any Digital Relay Cards (RO1S) installed in the EPM 7000 meter. Data Points 3
through 6 are only available if there is at least one Digital Relay Card (RO1S) installed in
the meter. The relays on a card in Slot 1 are mapped to Points 3 and 4. The relays on a
card in Slot 2 are mapped to Points 5 and 6. If there is no card installed in a slot, those
points will return a status with the "Offline" bit set.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL C–3

THE REGISTER MAP FOR THE EPM 7000 METER’S DNP VERSION APPENDIX C: DNP MAPPING

• Object 12 - Control Relay Outputs - Points 0-2 reference internal controls. Points 3 to 6
are mapped to the Digital Relays on any Digital Relay Card (RO1S) installed in the EPM
7000 meter. Control requests to relays not installed will return an unknown object
response. See Section C.4 for specific control mechanisms. Any relays that have been
Assigned to a limit cannot be controlled via this command: the response status code
will be 10 - Automation Inhibit, and no action will be taken.
• Object 20 - Binary Counters (Primary Readings) - Points 0 to 4 are mapped to Primary
Energy readings, Points 5 to 8 are mapped to the Digital Inputs on any Digital Relay
Card (RO1S) installed in the EPM 7000. If the digital inputs are set up as accumulators
they can be read via this request; if they are not set up as accumulators the response
will always be zero.
• Object 30 - Analog Inputs - These points may be either primary or secondary readings
per a user setup option.
• Object 50 - Date and Time - This object supports the reading of the device's time, only.
• Object 60 - Class Objects - Class 0 requests, only, are supported.
• Objects are returned, in the response, in the following order:
• Object 20 all points (0-8) 32 bit values
• Object 30 all points (count depends on settings) 16 bit values
• Object 1 all points (0-3) 8 bit values
• Object 10 all points (0-6) 8 bit values
• Object 80 - Internal Indicators - This request supports the clearing of the Restart bit.
This is a write function, only, which should be done as soon as possible anytime the
device has been restarted, as indicated by the restart bit being set in a response. The
response will always be zero.

reported as zeroes.
Bad Function
Occurs if the function code in a User Data request is not Read (0x01), Write (0x02),
Direct Operate (0x05), or Direct Operate, No Ack (0x06).
Object Unknown
Occurs if an unsupported object is specified for the Read function. Only objects 10, 20,
30, and 60 are supported.
Out of Range
Occurs for most other errors in a request, such as requesting points that don’t exist or
direct operate requests in unsupported formats.
Buffer Overflow
Occurs if a read request or a read response is too large for its respective buffer. In
general, if the request overflows, there will be no data in the response while if the
response overflows at least the first object will be returned. The largest acceptable
request has a length field of 26, i.e. link header plus 21 bytes more, not counting
checksums. The largest possible response has 7 blocks plus the link header.

Appendix D: Using the IEC 61850

Protocol Ethernet
Network Card (E2)
Using the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network Card (E2)

D.1 Overview of IEC 61850

When the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card (E2) is added to the EPM 7000 meter,
the unit becomes an advanced intelligent Device that can be networked on a IEC 61850
standard network within an electrical distribution system.
IEC 61850 is a standard for the design of electrical substation automation, including the
networking of substation devices. The IEC 61850 standard is part of the International
Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC) Technical Committee 57 (TC57). It consists of a suite of
protocols (MMS, SMV, etc.) and abstract definitions that provide a standardized method of
communication and integration to support intelligent electronic devices from any vendor,
networked together to perform protection, monitoring, automation, metering and control
in a substation environment. For more information on IEC 61850 go to
http://iec61850.ucaiug.org/.
IEC 61850 was developed to:
• Specify a design methodology for automation system construction.
• Reduce the effort for users to construct automation systems using devices from
multiple vendors.
• Assure interoperability between components within the automation system.
• “Future-proof” the system by providing simple upgrade paths as the underlying
technologies change.
• Communicate information rather than data that requires further processing. The
functionality of the components is moved away from the clients (requesters) toward
the servers (responders).
IEC 61850 differs from previous standards in that:
• It specifies all aspects of the automation system from system specifications, through
device specifications, and then through the testing regime.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL D–1

OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850 APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2)

• The IEC 61850 standard specifies a layered approach to the specification of devices.
The layered approach allows “future-proofing” of basic functionality by allowing
individual “stack” components to be upgraded as technology progresses.
• The individual objects within devices are addressed through a hierarchy of names
rather than numbers.
• Each object has precise, standard terminology across the entire vendor community.
• Devices can provide an online description of their data model.
• A complete (offline) description language defines the way all of the parts of the
system are handled, giving a consistent view of all components within the system.
The IEC 61850 standard was developed for electrical substation automation, but has been
applied to Distributed Energy resources, distribution line equipment, hydro-electric power
plants, and wind power plants.

D.1.1 Relationship of Clients and Servers in IEC 61850

The understanding of the roles of clients and servers and publishers and subscribers is key
to the use of IEC 61850 devices.
A client is the requester (sink) of information while the server is the responder (source) of
information. Information generally flows on a request-response basis with the client
issuing the request and the server issuing the response. However, the concept of servers is
extended to provide autonomous transmissions when “interesting” events occur within the
server. This information flow is always to the client requesting this “interesting
information.” Clients are the devices or services which “talk” to IEC 61850 servers. The
function of the client is to configure the server “connection,” set up any dynamic
information in the server, enable the reporting mechanisms, and possibly interrogate
specific information from the server. Most clients are relatively passive devices which await
information from the server but perform little direct ongoing interactions with them except
for control operations.
Some clients are used for diagnostic purposes. These devices generally perform ongoing
direct interrogation of the servers. A specific example is the “desktop client,” where the
engineer remotely diagnoses system problems or retrieves data which is not normally
sent from the server (for example, power quality information).
IEC 61850 clients are highly interoperable with IEC 61850 servers. Clients are able to
retrieve the server object directory (when needed) and then perform any allowable
operation with that server.
Example clients include: Omicron IED scout, SISCO AX-S4 61850, TMW Hammer, KalkiTech
gateway, Siemens DIGSI.

D–2 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2) OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850

An example of the object model display on a diagnostic client is shown in the following
figure.

Figure D-1: Object Model Display on a Diagnostic Browser

There is an additional relationship in IEC 61850, known as publisher and subscriber. The
NoteNOTE

publisher/subscriber relationship differs from the client/server in that there is no explicit

NOTE
one-to-one relationship between the information producer and consumer. Publishers issue
data without knowledge of which devices will consume the data, and whether the data has
been received. Subscribers use internal means to access the published data. From the
viewpoint of IEC 61850, the publisher/subscriber mechanism uses the Ethernet multicast
mechanism (i.e. multicast MAC addresses at layer 2). The communication layer of the
system is responsible for transmitting this information to all interested subscribers and the
subscribers are responsible for accepting these multicast packets from the Ethernet layer.
The publish/subscribe mechanism is used for GOOSE and Sampled Value services. Note
that GOOSE and Sampled Value services are not available with the EPM 7000 meter’s IEC
61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card.

D.1.2 Structure of IEC 61850 Network

As mentioned before, IEC 61850 lets you set up an automated communication structure
for devices from any vendor. In order to set up this network, IEC 61850 renames devices
(e.g., meters), measured parameters (e.g., Phase to Phase Voltage), and functions (e.g.,
reporting) into a specific language and file structure. This way all of the elements of the
network can function together quickly and effectively. The language that the IEC 61850
network uses is structured, that is it is very specific in how the system information is
entered, and hierarchical, which means that it has different levels for specific information;
for example, meter information is entered on one level, and the information about the
actual physical connection between meters and other hardware is entered on another
level.
The structure of the IEC 61850 network is composed of different kinds of files, each
containing information that the system needs in order to function. IEC 61850 configuration
uses text-based (XML) files known as the System Configuration Language (SCL). SCL files

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL D–3

OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850 APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2)

use the concept of an XML schema, which defines the structure and content of an XML file.
The schema used by SCL files describes most (though not all) of the restrictions required to
ensure a consistent description file. An SCL file superficially looks like an HTML file. It
consists of 6 parts:
• Prologue: XML declaration, (XML) namespace declarations, etc.
• Header element: Names the system and contains the file version history
• Substation element: defines the physical structure of the system
• Communication element: defines all device-to-device communication aspects
• IED element: defines the data model presented by each communicating device
• DataTypeTemplates element: contains the detailed definition of data models
After it is written, the XML file can be checked by "validators" against the schema using
freely available tools.
The IEC 61850 network uses four types of SCL files, each with identical structure:
• SSD - System Specification Description: used during the specification stage of a system
to define physical equipment, connections between physical equipment, and Logical
Nodes which will be used by each piece of equipment.
• ICD - IED Capability Description: this is provided by the communication equipment
vendor to specify the features of the equipment and the data model published by the
equipment. Each of the devices in the network has an ICD file which describes all of the
information about the device, for example, IP address on the network and Com ports. The
(vendor supplied) ICD variation of the SCL file contains a Communication section specifying
the lower-layer selectors and default addressing and also an IED section containing the
data model of the device. See Section E.4.2 for information on the EPM 7000 meter’s .icd
file.
• SCD - System Configuration Description: a complete description of the configured
automation system including all devices (for example, meters, breakers, and relays) and all
needed inter-device communications (for example, the measured parameters and the
actions to be performed, such as turning on a relay when a certain reading is obtained). It
can also include elements of the SSD file. The SCD file is created by a System Configurator,
which is a software application that takes the information from the various devices along
with other configuration parameters and generates the SCD file.
• CID - Configured IED Description: the file used to configure an individual device. It is a
pure subset of the SCD file. The device may also have a CID file, which is a smaller subset
of the device’s ICD file. The CID file describes the exact settings for the device in this
particular IEC 61850 network. The EPM 7000 meter’s IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network
card uses a CID file. See Section E.4.2 for information on uploading the EPM 7000 meter’s
.cid file.
Each type of SCL file has different required elements with only the prologue and Header
element required in every file type.

Elements of an IEC 61850 Network

• A physical device has a name (IEDname) and consists of one or more AccessPoints.
• An AccessPoint has an IP address and consists of one or more Logical Devices
• A Logical Device contains LLN0 and LPHD1 and optional other Logical Nodes.

D–4 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2) OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850

• LLN0 (Logical Node Zero) is a special object which "controls" the Logical Device. It
contains all of the datasets used for unsolicited transmission from the device. It also
contains the report, SV, and GOOSE control blocks (which reference the datasets).
• LPHD1 (Physical Device) represents the hardware "box" and contains nameplate
information.
• Logical Nodes (LNs) are standardized groups of "Data Objects" (DOs). The grouping is
used to assemble complex functions from small groups of objects (think of them as
building blocks). The standard defines specific mandatory and optional DOs for each
LN. The device may instantiate multiple LNs of the same type differentiated by either
a (named) prefix or (numerical) suffix.
• Data Objects represent "real-world" information, possibly grouped by electrical object.
The IEC 61850 standard has specific semantics for each of the DOs. For example, the
DO named "PhV" represents the voltage of a point on a three-phase power system.
The DOs are composed of standardized Common Data Classes (CDCs) which are
groups of low-level attributes of the objects. For example, the DO named "Hz"
represents system frequency and is of CDC named "MV" (Measurement Value).
• Common Data Classes (CDCs) consists of standardized groups of "attributes" (simple
data types). For example, the attribute "instMag" represents the instantaneous
magnitude of the underlying quantity. The standard specifies mandatory and optional
attributes for each CDC. For example, the DO named "Hz" in Logical Node class MMXU
contains a mandatory attribute named "mag" which represents the deadbanded
value of the frequency. The physical device contains a database of data values which
map to the various structures described above. The database values are manipulated
by the device to perform actions such as deadbanding (holding a constant value until
the underlying value changes by more than a specified amount) or triggering of
reports.

D.1.3 Steps in Configuring an IEC 61850 Network

1. The first thing needed is the SSD for physical connections, then the vendor-provided
ICD files which are combined into a SCD file by a vendor-independent System
Configurator. The System Configurator assigns addresses to the equipment and sets
up datasets, reports, etc. for inter-device communication. The system configurator will
create an "instance" of the configured device by applying the following information:
• The name of the device
• The IP address, subnet mask, and IP gateway of the device
• Datasets: the user must decide which information within the IED will be
included in reports, etc. and place this information into datasets. The System
Configurator should allow the selection of information using a "pick list" from
information within the ICD file.
2. The resulting SCD file is then imported by vendor-specific tools into the various
devices. Some vendors add the additional step of filtering the SCD file into a smaller
file containing only information needed by the specific device, resulting in a CID file
which is used to configure the device. The actual configuration of the device is left
unspecified by IEC 61850 except to require that the SCD file remains the source of the
configuration information. In this way, consistency of the information across the
whole system is maintained.
See Figure E-2 for a graphical illustration of the process.

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL D–5

OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850 APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2)

Figure D-2: Configuration Process

Referring to Figure E-2:
In step 1, the IED template is provided by the vendor (or sometimes created by a vendor
tool). This file is imported into the vendor-independent tool, the System Configurator, along
with other device templates. The System Configurator uses these templates to set up the
correct number of IEDs in the system and then provides configuration information. The
configuration information consists of providing addresses for all IEDs in the system,
creation of datasets, configuring control blocks, and setting individual device parameters
such as analog deadbands. The System Configurator then creates a SCD file with a
consistent view of the entire system.
In step 2, the SCD file is used to configure each device using vendor-supplied tools.
Vendors are free to choose the configuration mechanism, but the configuration
information MUST be derived from the SCD file.

In the EPM 7000 meter’s IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet network card implementation, every
NoteNOTE:

service and object within the server is defined in the standard (there is nothing non-
NOTE
standard in the device).
Also in step 2, the user sets up report control blocks, buffered and unbuffered, for each of
the clients. Setup information includes the dataset name, a report identifier, the optional
fields to be used in the report, the trigger options, buffer time (delay from first event to
report issuance), and integrity time (server periodic reports of all data in the dataset). The
decision whether to use buffered or unbuffered must be decided by the user.
Finally, in step 2 the System Configurator performs a consistency check and then outputs
the SCD file. The SCD file is imported by the "ScdToCid" tool where the user specifies the
device name.
The resulting CID file is then imported into the target device.

D.1.4 General Electric’s Implementation of the IEC 61850 Server

Following are features of GE Digital Energy’s IEC 61850 implementation:

D–6 MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2) OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850

• The lower-level addressing uses PSEL=00000001, SSEL=0001, and TSEL=0001.

• At the server level, each implements a single Logical Device name formed by
concatenating the IED name (chosen by the System Configurator) and "Meas" (eg.,
"MyDeviceMeas").
• The Logical Nodes implemented within the Logical Device include the standard LLN0
and LPHD1 with optional standard logical nodes in the "M" class (ex, "MMXU") and "T"
class (eg., "TVTR"). Each Logical Node contains only standardized objects of
standardized types (Common Data Class, CDC). The device is based upon the first
edition of the IEC 61850 standards.
Examples of Logical Nodes within the EPM 7000 family include eneMMTR1 (energy
metering) and nsMMXU1 (normal speed Measurement Unit).
• The EPM 7000 device gets its IED name from the first <IED> section in the
configuration file (.cid). This name is used for accessing its access point (IP address)
and its single Logical Device named "Meas". The IED name can be composed of any
string of up to 32 (alphanumeric only) characters.
• The logical nodes implemented in the EPM 7000 meter are listed below:
• The node "LLN0" keeps common information for the entire logical device. In this
node Datasets and Reports can be defined, based on the limitations provided in
the ICD file: the EPM 7000 meter supports up to 8 datasets with up to 256
attributes, and up to 16 report control blocks. The report control blocks and
datasets must be configured in the CID file, although the options, triggers and
integrity period can be dynamically configured by IEC client. (The EPM 7000 meter
does not support Goose nor Journals.)
• The node LPHD1 defines physical parameters such as vendor, serial number,
device name plate and the software revision number.
• The node "nsMMXU1" contains the "normal-speed" basic electrical measurements
such as Volts / Amps / Watts / VARs / Frequency / Power Factor / etc. The electrical
measurements are data objects in hierarchical structure as per the IEC 61850
specifications.
For example, Phase A voltage:
• which is in the object "PhV"
• which is of type "WYE_ABC_mag_noDC"
• which in turn has the object "phsA"
• which again has an attribute named "instVal" to represent instantaneous
values, and also the "mag" attribute, which represents the magnitude as
an analog magnitude, with the attribute "f" to get the value in 32-bit
floating point.
Thus the voltage of phase A, would be referred in this nested structure as "Meas/
nsMMXU1.PhV.phsA.instVal.mag.f".
• The node "nsMHAI1" groups together the THD per phase measurements taken at
normal speed.
Following the previous example, the THD for phase A would be referred as "Meas/
nsMHAI1.ThdPhV.phsA.instCVal.mag.f".
• The node "eneMMTR1" groups together all measurements related to energy
counters, like +/- Watt;hours, +/- VAr-hours and Total VA-hours.
• The nodes "setTCTR1", "setTCTR2", "setTCTR3" and "setTCTR4" contain the ratio of
the current used by the measuring device, for phases A,B,C and Neutral,

MULTILIN EPM 7000/7000T POWER QUALITY METER – INSTRUCTION MANUAL D–7

OVERVIEW OF IEC 61850 APPENDIX D: USING THE IEC 61850 PROTOCOL ETHERNET NETWORK CARD (E2)

respectively. In this way, the user can take the IEC measurements (primary) and
convert them to Secondary using the ratios contained in these nodes.
• The nodes "setTVTR1", "setTVTR2" and "setTVTR3" contain the ratio of the voltage
used by the measuring device.
• Any of the defined objects/ attributes can be placed within a dataset.
• The normal-speed in the EPM 7000 meter is measurements taken every second. The
energy counters are also updated every second.
The configuration of the devices takes place by converting the SCD file exported by the
System Configuration tool into a CID file. This CID file contains all of the information from
the SCD file which is needed for configuration by the GE device. The tool is named
"SCDtoCIDConverter" and is a simple, publicly available program. The resulting CID file is
then sent to the GE device using HTTP file transfer.

EPM 7000 Server Configuration

The configuration file (CID) must be stored in the EPM 7000 meter in order to configure the
server. At power up the server reads the file, parses it and configures all the internal
settings for proper functionality.
Storing the CID file in the EPM 7000 meter is accomplished through its webpage. The
webpage allows the user to locate the CID file, and submit it to the EPM 7000 meter for
storage.
The EPM 7000 meter does not need to be reset in order to accept the new configuration,
unless the IP address has been changed.
After storing the CID file, access the EPM 7000 meter’s webpage again, to make sure that
the file has been stored, and to see if there is any problem with it, by checking its status.
• A common problem that can occur is IP mismatch (the IP address in the CID file does
not match the IP configured in the EPM 7000 meter’s device profile). In this case the
EPM 7000 meter uses the IP address from its device profile, and the IEC Server will
work only with that address.
• If there is a critical error in the stored CID file, which prevents the IEC Server from
running, the CID file will not be used, and instead the Default CID file (embedded in the
server) will be used. The webpage will alert you to this situation.
• If further details are needed, for example, information on the reason the CID storage
failed, the web server provides a link to the system log. In the system log screen you
can view messages from the IEC 61850 parser, and you can take actions to correct the
error. See Section E.2 for instructions on configuring the EPM 7000 meter’s IEC 61850
Protocol Ethernet Network card.

Turn on the EPM 7000 unit. After about 10 seconds, the Link LED near the RJ45 Ethernet
connector on the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card will light, which means a link
has been established to your network, and the EPM 7000 meter has correctly identified the
IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card. (The first time you connect, it may take up to 30
seconds for the link to be established.)

D.2.3 Configuring the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network Card

The IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card must be configured for communication,
both from the standpoint of the device (the Device Profile) and of the network (the SCL
configuration file, which is a .cid file uploaded to the meter.)

Configuring the Device Profile IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network Card Settings
Use the GE Communicator application to set the card’s network parameters. Basic
instructions are given here, but the user can refer to the GE Communicator Instruction
Manual for additional information. The user can view the manual online by clicking
Help>Contents from the GE Communicator software main screen.
The following information is required:
• The IP address to be assigned to the card
• The Network Mask used on your network
• The IP address of the Gateway on your network (you can use 0.0.0.0 if you don’t have
a gateway IP address)
• The IP address of the DNS (Domain Name Server) on your network (only needed if you
plan to use URLs instead of IP addresses for the NTP (Network Time Protocol); if it is not
needed you can leave this field blank)
• The IP address of the NTP server on your network, or the URL if you configured the
DNS in the previous entry field
1. Using the GE Communicator software, connect to the meter through its RS485 serial
port, or through an E1 Network Card if one is installed in the other Option card slot (see
Chapter 5 for instructions on connecting to your meter with the GE Communicator
software).

properly. The time can be provided either by a Network Time Protocol (NTP)
NOTE server or by the EPM 7000 meter itself (via Line Sync, which is selected and
enabled through the Time Settings screen). If you enter an NTP server on this
screen, you still need to enable it in the Time Settings screen (see the instruc-
tions in Chapter 5). See Section 8.4.3 for additional information on NTP.
• All of these parameters must be properly set up in order to allow the EPM 7000
meter to communicate on the network. After configuration, a simple “ping”
test can be performed to see if the EPM 7000 meter is correctly connected to
the network:

Configuring the Meter on the IEC 61850 Network

The System Integrator must configure the EPM 7000 meter within the substation IEC
61850 network. To do this, the System Integrator needs the EPM 7000 capabilities file (.icd)
(as well as information about the rest of the devices in the network).
This .icd file, as mentioned earlier, is the SCL file that contains the IEC 61850 nodes, objects,
and parameters implemented in the EPM 7000 meter, including the Network IP address.
This .icd file will be processed with the rest of the system (clients, other meters, switches,
breakers, etc., in the network) and the resulting file, which will be uploaded to the meter to
configure it, is the Configured IED Description file (.cid file).
The IP address for the EPM 7000 meter is contained in the Communication section of this
.cid file. See the example Communication section, below.

If the CID file to be uploaded has more than one IED definition block, the EPM 7000 meter
NoteNOTE:

will take the first one in the file.

7. Fill in the upload password: the default is manager for firmware runtime version 3.35
and later; and genet2009 for earlier firmware runtime versions. See the note on page
D-20.
8. Click Submit. The upload process begins. When the upload is finished a report is
shown on the screen.
IMPORTANT NOTES!
• The IP address configured into the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card with the
GE Communicator software must be the same as the IP address configured in the .cid
file. This is necessary to insure proper communication. If there is a communication
problem it will be reported on the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card’s Meter
Information screen, shown in step 1 on page D-20.
• The maximum size of the .cid file is 250KB. Avoid putting too many comments or
unnecessary historical information into the file. If the file is bigger than 250KB it will be
rejected by the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card.
• The sAddr fields in each object of the .icd file must be preserved when generating the
.cid file. Do not change these, because they are used internally by the IEC 61850
server.
• If the .cid file has more than one IED definition block, the first one in the file will be
used by the network.
• Do not use non-ASCII characters in your .cid file (such as punctuation marks). Non-
ASCII characters can cause the parsing of the .cid file to fail.
• You do not need to reboot the Network Card or the EPM 7000 meter when the .cid file
is uploaded, unless the IP address has changed.
• If the uploaded .cid file has non-critical errors, the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet
Network card will use the file anyway and will start up. Any errors can be seen in the
Start Up log (see instructions below).
• If the uploaded .cid file has critical errors, the IEC 61850 will use the default .cid file (not
the uploaded file) and it will start up. The errors can be seen in the Start Up log
(instructions follow).
• The default .cid in the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card is for demonstration
only. It must be modified to suit the actual application needs.
• The default .cid in the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card has an arbitrary IED
name, which must be replaced by the user's own name.

D.3 Viewing the IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network Card’s System Log
The IEC 61850 Protocol Ethernet Network card’s main webpage (Meter Information
webpage) has general information on the status of the card (e.g., version, healthy, serial
number) and the status of the IEC 61850 server (e.g., ok, errors in the uploaded.cid file).
In addition to this information there is a System log, which contains events (e.g., errors and
warnings) from the IEC 61850 protocol layer, including problems found when parsing the
.cid file. To view the System log’s webpage, click System Log from the left side of the Meter

D.6 Keep-Alive Feature

The E2 card supports user configurable Keep-Alive timing settings. The Keep-Alive feature
is used by the TCP/IP layer for detecting broken connections. Once detected, the
connection is closed in the Network card, and the server port is freed. This prevents the
card from running out of server connections due to invalid links. See Section 8.4.5 for
instructions on configuring this feature.
