Centralization of information

InGRID.MDC is the solution that enables data collection from all types of equipment deployed in the

field. An automatic measure acquisition system that has as objective the unique and centralize

operation of a huge amount of measures and its publication or delivery to other systems.

Data Acquisition

Master data or elements required to manage the overall performance of the system. The inventory

includes a full information model that enables the data recovery from any field equipment (meters,

data concentrators, data loggers, etc.).

Inventory

GPRS GSM PLC WAP

Capability to obtain measures

from several devices, such as:

• Smart Meters

• Meters

• Data Concentrators

• Data loggers

• Etc…..

Multi Device

Bidirectional

Capability to execute both

actions:

Send commands:

• Synchronization

• Reset

• Connect/Disconnect

• Etc…

Receive Information:

• Load Profiles

• Sum of Energy

• Peak Power

• Billing Profile

• Instant Values

• Etc…..

The inventory can be divided in two main blocks:

• Data related to the communication infrastructure belonging to the system, which cannot

be modified, unless increasing communication channels or different technologies.

• Data related to the field equipment, which can be modified due to a higher probability of

changes in the network topology.

This module contains all the information stored in the

system, which is extracted from the BBDD. All reports can be

checked in the same screen or exported in the format

desired, such as MS Excel. It can provides several different

types of reports:

Capability to communicate with any kind of field equipment in order to obtain metering data. The system

can connects with different types of channels in terms of communication technology. This module has

several functionalities such as: automatic request, group request or schedule acquisition. This iteration

has the following characteristics:

MDC

General measurement: measurement of the selected

points for a given period of time.

Measure management: anomalies existing in the hourly

curve for the points and days selected.

Signature management: visualization of information

related with firm validation.

Equipment configuration: technical characteristics of the

RTU´s equipment associated with the measurement points.

Communications: summary of calls made to specific call

group´s and channel.

Costs: communication cost incurred when a call is made to

field equipment.

• Functionality that allows user to execute

previous integration test to field devices.

• Homologation tool incorporates all acquisition

actions, and all metering points loaded in the

system

• Homologation tool can be deployed as an

independent functionality

This functionality allows files generation or other data measures application in order to download, share with or read from other

external systems.

• Files Monitor presents all elements that have been

executed in the system, both in a manual and automatic

way.

• The system has the capability to schedule automatic file

generation. This action can be customize regarding what

user want to see each time.

• TPL functionality performs loading of measure files or

other data from a portable lecture terminal. Is used in case

of absence or breakdown of a communication point.

Indra´s platform allows us an advanced system for monitoring and

control based on an architecture front-end 100% Web based in a

platform created in HTML 5.0 running in any Web browser. The

back-end is an Open Source product, implemented with J2EE and

integrated with the most recent standards and frameworks.
