Benefits of technology

The present patent describes an intelligent electronic device (IED) that can store data from a sensor or other component and then allow the data to be downloaded to a computer or other device at a later time. The IED can operate as a master or slave device in a universal serial bus (USB) system, and can also communicate with other devices using Ethernet or other communication architectures. The technical effect of this patent is to provide an improved method for collecting and utilizing data from an IED, which can be conveniently replaced and used with other devices.

Problems solved by technology

These problems include limit alarms, breaker control, outages and many other types of events.
The disadvantage of this technology is that the user doesn't always have a laptop available and there is a latency time to gathering the data due to the protocol communication.

Abstract

An intelligent electronic device (IED), e.g., an electrical power meter, having at least one removable memory device for storing data sensed and generated by the intelligent electronic device is provided. The IED includes a housing; at least one sensor; at least one analog-to-digital converter; at least one processing unit coupled to the at least one analog-to-digital converter configured to receive the digital data and store the digital data in a removable memory; and at least one device controller coupled to the at least one processing unit, the at least one device controller including an interface disposed on the housing for interfacing with the removable memory, wherein the at least one device controller is operative as a USB master or USB slave device controller.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. application Ser. No. 12 / 628,636 filed on Dec. 1, 2009, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) for electrical power systems, and more particularly, to an IED including a removable device for storing data relating to electrical power distribution systems.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Electric utility companies (“utilities”) track electric usage by customers by using power meters. These meters track the amount of power consumed at a particular location. These locations range from power substations, to commercial businesses, to residential homes. The electric utility companies use information obtained from the power meter to charge their customers for their power consumption, i.e., revenue metering.[0006]A popular type of power meter is the socket-type power ...
