1 System requirements

1.1 Computer system requirements

The hardware and software system requirements for a proper use of Power Inspector are:
§ PC Pentium or compatible.Microsoft Windows NT4.0 Workstation / Windows 2000 or higher.
§ 64 MB RAM (minimum).
§ 40 MB free-space on hard disk.
§ Network card adapter.
§ Sound card, Sound Blaster or compatible.
§ Mouse PS/2, Logitech or compatible.
§ VGA video card.
§ Two serial-ports RS-232. (Only if analogue modems are used)
§ Two modems with error detection and correction.

1.2 Infrastructure installation requirements at Power Control Center

§ When modem communication to SPSC40 is used two PSTN plug sockets, first to connect
alarm modem (incoming alarms only), second modem is needed for remote supervision of
SPSC40. Telephone number is needed at exchange during configuration of SPSC40.
§ If communication over IP network is used intranet access to all sites is necessary.
Please contact your IP network administrator to get information of IP-addresses to use for
configuration of server and UDS10. Depending on the network configuration you might
need additional information e.g. IP-addresses of gateways used within wide area networks.
IP-address of PI-server is needed during SPSC40/UDS10 or A82 configuration at exchange.

1.3 Infrastructure requirements at exchange

1.3.1 SPSC40
Universal Siemens Power Supply controller SPSC40 can communicate with the Control Center
either over PSTN using analogue modems or over Ethernet networks using a special serial to
Ethernet interface.

1.3.1.1 SPSC40 over PSTN

Per controller SPSC40 a PS-MODEM 2834ZDXG is needed that is connected to its own PSTN
line. Use of private networks is possible. When taking into operation the SPSC40 must be
configured to initialize the modem during startup (Order number modem S30050G5959M140).
SPSC40 configuration tool is necessary to input modem settings and individual exchange
parameters to the SPSC40 controller.
Use following document for detailed information

PowerInspector Version 3.00 Description and Operating Instruction

1.3.1.2 SPSC40 over LAN (WAN)

If SPSC40 is connected to an Ethernet network (LAN, WAN) a serial to Ethernet device server
is used (order number S30050H5958U100).
A special configuration tool is delivered
together with the device server. Configuration
tool should be used to configure the device
server according to following settings. Please
read device server manual for detailed
information.
By means of the device installer all settings
on UDS10 device server can be done.
To get access to a device server even if its IP-
address is unknown first the search function is
used. If there is any UDS10 it is found by
scanning the net. Using the save function
devices found can be copied into a table for
further access.
Pressing the IP-button opens a window that
allows the assignment of a new IP-address to
the device server selected. You
can use this function also to
assign an IP-address to a device
not found by scanning the net.
If enter the hardware or Ethernet
address you can find on the rear
side of the device server.
Don’t forget to define the desired
subnet mask. In most cases
Class C net fits best but in some
cases individual masks are used.
Please ask your net-administrator
for details.
When “Set IP Address” button was pressed the new IP-
address is send to the device server, server resets and boots
again with the new IP-settings. Pressing the toolbox button a
new window pops up that offers tools that allow the individual
configuration of each device server.
Select the “Telnet to Device” function and configure the device
server according to the following example. Definitions that are
mandatory for communication between SPSC40 and Power
Inspector are marked red and must not entered different.
Configurations that are necessary but are different to each
device server are marked blue. Values shown are examples
only. All parameters marked blue specify configurations
necessary to define IP-network parameters. Ask your network
administrator to get information.

PowerInspector Version 3.00 Description and Operating Instruction

3 Power Inspector

3.1 Introduction
Power Inspector offers remote supervision and centralized management of power supply
systems equipped with either SPSC40 or A82 controllers.
Its user-friendly graphical interface provides a quickly and detailed visualization of operating
conditions, analysis of event history and measurement values and the execution of remote
queries and commands on each managed system.
Additionally, the configuration of systems can be checked or updated, optimizing the service
response time and costs.
For better performance, the supervised systems or exchanges can be grouped in e.g.
geographical zones where the operative condition is represented by the color of its icons.
In the presence of an alarm or event, Power Inspector updates the operative state of exchange
and zone icons saving the acquired data into the system database. An automatic e-mail
dispatching can be configured on each exchange in order to forward relevant information to the
service stuff.
The system is provided with different communication interfaces that can be configured in
accordance with the communication type present on each controller (Modem or data network).

PSTN DCN

Power Inspector is developed under a modular and scalable concept. This concept of several
independent applications, each dedicated to a specific task, makes Power Inspector flexible to
the inclusion of future attributes with no need to make important changes in the current system.

Description and Operating Instruction PowerInspector Version 3.00

3.2 User Login

There are different access levels to Power Inspector. To use these levels, the user must log in,
obtaining the access rights given by the User administrator (see 4, User administrator tool).
The log-in could be performed at start up, from the menu User/Login, or by double clicking the
login panel on the status bar.
By default, the password is equal to the username given by your administrator. Once logged,
this password should be modified using the User/Change password option.
The user action ends performing a log out. In this case, the program continues working in a
Guest level. In this state, Power Inspector shows only the general state of the exchanges and
the system.
The user name is shown in the status bar, together with the log-in date and time.

3.3 Main Window

Description and Operating Instruction PowerInspector Version 3.00

3.9.1 Controller
PowerInspector allows supervision of SPSC40 and A82 controllers.
Depending on controller selection, corresponding communication data fields are shown.

3.9.2 Exchange information

3.9.2.1 Name
The exchange name is an alphanumeric text and allows identifying of exchanges in the system.

3.9.2.2 Identification code

The exchange ID code is an alphanumeric text and is used to clearly identify individual
exchange in the network. The program prevents assignment of the same ID code to different
exchanges.
In case of a SPSC40 controller, this data is used to identify incoming events and must be equal
to the code that was defined in the controller. Otherwise incoming alarms will be refused without
an error message.

3.9.2.3 Phone / Address

This data is used to communicate with this exchange.
In case of modem link, type the exchange phone number including its area code and prefix.
In case of network link, type the exchange IP-address or domain.

3.9.3 Communication server

Communication servers are used to communicate with SPSC40 controllers via modem.
For a better system performance, PowerInspector allows a decentralized communication
concept where connections are performed by independent applications called communication
servers.
There are two server types: PI-ComServer for modem and PI-NetServer for network
connections.

Page 22 of 49 A30050-X6091-A600-1-7618
PowerInspector Version 3.00 Description and Operating Instruction

For detailed information of these servers, please see 7, Communication servers.

Select from the list the communication server that will be used to connect to this controller or
add a new one by clicking the Configure button.

3.9.4 Proxy server

Entries to this field will be necessary sometimes when communicating with A82 controllers.
Configure the Use an HTTP proxy server option when the connection to the A82 controller must
be performed trough a proxy server and type the proxy server’s address and port.
For detailed information, please contact your local network administrator.

3.9.5 Polling configuration

The polling tool is an independent application that executes periodical connections to the
exchanges in order to check the communication link and to refresh the operative state and
measurement values.

If a communication failure or a new operative state is detected, it is stored in the database and
reported to the user graphical interface.
For detailed information of this tool, refer to 6, Polling tool

3.9.5.1 Polling interval

Defines the interval between polling calls. This interval and the availability of communication
resources (e.g., free modem) will determine the final polling frequency.
To activate polling, set interval greater than 10s if Ethernet connects the exchange. If modem
connection is used polling interval should not be set to small.

A30050-X6091-A600-1-7618 Page 23 of 49
Description and Operating Instruction PowerInspector Version 3.00

3.9.5.2 Logging interval

Defines the log frequency of measurement values.
If polling is enabled, the system will store the acquired measurement values according to the
frequency defined here.
For example, if log frequency is equals one, the measurement values will be stored on each
polling execution. If frequency is two, values will we stored each second polling, and so on.
The acquired values of each exchange will be saved as a comma delimited text file
(exchange_name.csv) under the LogData directory.
Maximum storage capacity defines the size of this logging file (Kbytes). Reached this size, the
system performs an automatic backup of the file (exchange_name.bak) and restarts the logging
in a new empty file.

3.9.5.3 Read and write authentication

This is only used for A82 controllers access authentication.
If the access to the controller is password protected, you should enter the User name and
Password in order to gain access to the controller.
This authentication data is used by the polling tool and for remote request and command
execution.
If the polling connection fails either by wrong or empty authentication, a communication error is
shown.

3.10 E-mail dispatcher

If configured the system executes an automatic e-mail dispatching to the responsible service stuff
informing any new event or operative state of an exchange.
You can configure two different types of e-mail message: detailed e-mails where present event
descriptions are included or basic e-mails where the operative state only is informed. Basic type
is intended especially for alarm forwarding by SMS to mobile phones.

7 Communication servers
The communication servers allow the connection to SPSC40 controllers.
The SPSC40 controller supports two different remote communication interfaces: modem and
Ethernet.

7.1 Connection to Communication servers

The connections between the communication servers and the applications (like PI user
interface, Polling tool or the WinSPSC Configuration tool) are made by TCP/IP links.

7.2 Modem communication server

PowerInspector may use one or more modems to communicate to SPSC40 controllers.

The management and control of these modems is responsibility of the Modem Communication
servers.
All connections uses communication servers as interface.
If an application requests a new connection to a SPSC40, the application creates a new TCP/IP
link to the communication server and forwards the phone number to dial. Then, the
communication server searches for a free modem, initializes it and starts the connection.
If all modems are busy or the connection fails, the corresponding error message is returned.

7.2.1 TCP/IP Port setting

Define the TCP/IP port value of this server.

7.3 Network communication server

This type of server is used for the communication with SPSC40 controllers equipped with a
RS232/Ethernet adapter.
For security, the controllers must be connected as client to the communication server. This
configuration prevents a direct access to the controller from an unauthorized application.
All connections should be requested using a communication server as interface.
Each controller accepts only one connection at the same time.
If an application requests a new connection to a SPSC40, the application creates a new TCP/IP
link to the communication server and forwards the address of the controller to connect. Then,
the communication server verifies that requested SPSC40 is not busy and creates a network
connection to the controller.
If the controller is busy or the connection fails, an error message is returned.

7.3.1 TCP/IP Port setting

Define the TCP/IP port value of this server.
Note: Value must be equals to value set in PowerInspector net manager.

7.3.2 Active query connections

This window shows the connections that are active.
