Station meters

 

This function must be enabled by Digpro.

In addition to customer facility meters the Meter Alarm module also support handling of station meters. When a fault detected by the station meter occurs in the network, the corresponding meter event is automatically transferred to dpPower. The events are materialized on an object called Measurement point. A measurement point is not a physical network device. It is a data storage object that often combines values from different physical devices such as current and voltage transformers to store and present events as well as measurements for power etc. The point is linked to the topology of the network.
