PowerStar System User Manual

Monitoring host

The monitoring host is composed of PC with PowerStar System application, a optional

multi_port board and a optional printer. The monitoring host mainly performs data

acquirement, storage, statistic and database access and maintenance, features for real

time monitoring functions such as remote control, alarm management, report function

and user information management.

Moreover, the PowerStar provides Config Tools for system configuration management.

Branch station

The branch stations are equipped with collectors, which collect the data of the power

supply system in the branch stations, forward them to the monitoring host, and receive

and reply the monitoring and control commands from the monitoring host. These

collectors are actually the monitoring modules of ENPC power supply systems.

1.3 Configuration and Operating

1. When adopting modem connection, the monitoring center is configured with polling

modem, manual control modem, and alarm callback modem, each occupying a serial

port in the monitoring host.

��Chapter 1 About PowerStar


a. The polling modem shall poll the power supply systems at branch station. To ensure

reliable system operation, it is recommended to configure 1 polling modem for at most

20 power supply systems

b. The manual control modem provide possibility to monitor specified power supply

system after establishing connection through dial-up. Only 1 manual control modem can

be configured in PowerStar

c. The alarm callback modem receives alarm callback from power supply system side.

In case a power supply system has a failure, the power supply system shall

automatically dial_up monitoring host to send the alarm data to the monitoring. To

ensure the performance, it is recommended to configure 1 alarm callback modem for at

most 40 power supply systems.

d. Optionally, the monitoring host can be configured with 1 alarm paging modem,

through which maintenance personnel' mobile phone or BP number can be paged once

alarm occurs.

2. If the power supply system and the monitoring host are located in the same room,

direct connection can be adopted. Due to the requirement of RS232 data transmission,

the length of the connection cable cannot exceed 15m. And each power supply system

occupies one serial port of the monitoring host. In case the distance between the power

supply system and the monitoring host, though located in the same room, exceeds

15m, modem connection is required.

2. PowerStar support Ethernet. It’s required to mount a PSNA for every Power Supply.

PSNA acquire data of Power Supply via RS232.



3. PowerStar System can not monitor environmental data or power supply system made

by other manufacturers.

4. It’s recommended to use WIN2000 in the host. Maximally 60 power supply systems

can be monitored under one monitoring host. An additional monitoring host is required if

this number is exceeded.

5. Following is required for PowerStar monitoring centre:

A host computer with Windows 2000 is essential, which is recommended to be

purchased by user separately. But, to ensure system compatibility, it’s recommended to

select it according to that manufacturer recommend.

Optional equipment include the following:

a. Multi-serial port card (each modem and RS232 cable occupies a serial port). When

configuring the multi-serial port card, 1-2 serial port(s) should be reserved as backup.

Generally, when adopting modem connection, if there are less than 40 power supplies,

a 4-serial port card should be selected; if there are 40-60 power supply systems, an

8-serial port card is required. The multi-serial port card can be purchased by user

separately, but, to ensure system compatibility, please select it according to that

manufacturer recommend.

b. Modem. Used for polling, manual control, alarm callback, and alarm paging. To

ensure system compatibility, only modem supplied by Emerson should be used.

c. Printer. It is recommended to be purchased by user separately.
