Chapter 5 Power Quality Monitoring
Status
The Status.Alarms Data Table, on page 348, provides the following tags for 
monitoring of sags and swells. A sag or swell indication continues until 90 
seconds has elapsed after all phase voltages return to the threshold, providing a 
more reliable indication of sags and swells when these tags are logged at a 
1-minute interval.
• Sag_Indication_Detected
• Swell_Indication_Detected
Sags and swells are also recorded in the alarm log with alarm type = 4 and 
alarm code = 1 for sag, 2 for swell. In the M6 and M8 models, sags and swells, 
their trip points, and references to their associated waveform records are also 
recorded in the Power Quality log.

Waveform Recording (M6 
and M8 model)
The power monitor can capture and record waveforms of all current and voltage 
channels. 
Setup
Basic metering setup is required. These configuration parameters are found in the 
Configuration.PowerQuality tab:
• Capture_Pre_Event_Cycles - pre-event cycles for waveform capture, 
range = 5 (default)…10 cycles
• Capture_Post_Event_Cycles - post-event cycles for waveform capture, 
range = 2…30 cycles, default 15
These configuration parameters are found in the 
Configuration.Communications_Native tab, and specify the synchronized 
waveform broadcast parameters:
• WSB_Mode - waveform synchronization broadcast mode. The options are 
the following:
– 0 = Disable (default)
– 1 = Enable
• WSB_Port - specified UDP port for WSB feature, 
range = 1001 (default)…1009
