Custom Events - Creating Custom Events
The Custom Events window is used for configuring custom events. Unlike Compliance Configuration,
where you are able to only configure power quality events, in this configuration you are free to
define any type of event notification. Events can be triggered based on any measured parameters &
conditioned by complex logical or mathematical functions.
The Custom Event Section is not related to Power Quality Event Section. The Events setup is
based on a custom events engine that works parallel to the power quality events engine allowing the
user to define tailored events according to his specific needs. All events triggered in the Portable
BLACKBOX device series are stored in the logger (Flash Memory) which is displayed in the System
Log. Each event is coded & the following event types with their respective codes can be viewed in
the System Log accordingly:
In addition, all events are also stored in the PQZIP files and can be further analyzed in Elspec's
PQSCADA/Investigator Software programs. Furthermore, you may choose to send E-Mail Alerts on
the event and/or receive SMS Text Messages (See PQSCADA's F1 Help Wizard; follow the Components
Server Configuration SMS/Text procedure).
In the Custom Events window you will be able to:
Perform Actions on the Events List
Create General Event Conditions
Define Single Type Conditions
Multiple Type Conditions
