PowerQuest^® VPi Software Package - VPi 32.15

PowerQuest^® VPi is a PC based software package. When combined with the ASCO Communications Interface module (ACC 72A), the ASCO 5120 Telephone Interface Module and the ASCO 5200 Series Power Manager, as shown above, It provides the most economical communication system for monitoring and control of power transfer switches and engine generators.

The RS-485 network allows communications with up to 32 power transfer switches and four engine generators. An analog phone connection and ASCO telephone interface module allow for direct dial up, monitoring and control of remote locations. The ASCO Power Manager not only allows you to view current power and power factor readings, but also has a programmable kW set point to initiate transfer of loads to a standby source for peak shaving operations.

SiteWeb^TM is a client-server application requiring no software to be installed on the client computer. When combined with the ASCO Communications Interface Module (Acc 72A), the ASCO 5500 Series Thin Web Server and the ASCO 5200 Series Power Manager, as shown above, it provides the most comprehensive Intranet and Internet communications system for the monitoring and control of power transfer switches and engine generators located in your emergency or standby power distribution system.

The SiteWeb^TM communication system allows multiple client access, from local or remote locations, and provides for the monitoring of up to 64 power transfer switched and eight engine generators. In addition, automatic paging is provided for all alarm signals.

Communication Interface Module to allow Local, remote or web-enables communications with ASCO PowerQuest^® VPi or SiteWeb^TM communications products. An Accessory 72A is required on each power transfer switch.

The ASCO Telephone Interface Module (TIM) allows users to dial directly into their ASCO communications network for monitoring and/or control. The TIM connects to the ASCO communications network via RS-485 and the phone port connects directly into an analog phone jack. Also, the TIM has an RS-232 connector which allows the TIM to be used as the dialing modem.

Supplied with 120 VAC to 18 VDC (nominal) UL approved, class 2 power supply.

5500 Series Thin Web Server (with Modem)  -  5510M

The ASCO Thin Web Server allows you to monitor and control transfer switches and engine generators anytime over the Internet or an Intranet from anywhere in the world. It also transmits a page message that an alarm has occurred with one or more of the transfer switches. Plus, this is possible from your home computer or anywhere that has Internet service, using the ASCO Thin Web Server single-board computer with its embedded SiteWeb HTML web pages.

The ASCO 5200 Series Power Manager is a microprocessor metering device specifically designed for transfer switch applications to provide real-time measurements of single and three-phase power systems. It uses digital signal processing technology to measure voltage and phase currents, which it uses to calculate real, reactive, and apparent power and bi-directional energy. All measurements can be displayed locally or at a remote PC via PowerQuest^® VPi or SiteWeb^TM. It can also collect data for both normal and emergency positions using auxiliary contact inputs from the transfer switch. Eight digital input and four digital outputs are available for customer use.
