4 COMTRADE FILES DOWNLOAD
There are four different ways to get the COMTRADE files from the RPV311 to a computer, one manual way
and three automatic way.
The manual method uses the web interface and is described in the item 3.6 Records in Chapter 5
The three ways automatic ways listed below:
o Scanner software (RPVTools.Chapter 12): Simple platform that download specific types of
files (fault, disturbance, SOE, TW...) from specific IP address with pre set time intervals.
o RPV Manager (Chapter 13): Elaborate software that downloads the records from several
separate RPVs, performs TW fault location and shows the equipment alarms.
o Auto-upload which is a feature of the RPV where the user specifies an IP address and
prepare a computer to be the server. Upon creating a record the RPV will automatically
send it to the destination IP. If for some reason, it is not able to send the record at that
time it will not send again later.
All those means save the record to a folder named based on the DFR’s information
LOCATION,IDENTIFIER within another folder located in C:\RPV\records\.
