Rapid Capture & Control - New Version and Features

Produce the data you need for regulatory reporting after an event with Rapid Capture & Control, now available in two versions and with new features.

Rapid Capture & Control provides high-speed capture of electrical parameters a given number of seconds before, and after an event. Events may be triggered from under/over frequency or voltage. It also sends a digital output trip signal to control devices following an event.

The new advanced version of Rapid Capture & Control offers the extra features listed below as well as the recording of additional parameters and is available on a subscription basis.
 
The standard version continues to be available as it was previously.

Two Versions Now Available

New Voltage Trigger Feature

Voltage (sag/swell) has been added as a trigger for generating an event and report, in the advanced version of Rapid Capture & Control.

Multi-meter Aggregation Feature

This feature has been added to the advanced version and allows data to be aggregated from multiple ION meters equipped with Rapid Capture & Control, to provide a total system or station response to the event. 

Support for Continuous Log Data

When retrieving data for the low resolution capture and summary, if the data was not able to be found for the meter, and the continuous log is running for this meter, the report will use the continuous log data. This feature is available on both Rapid Capture & Control versions.

About Rapid Capture & Control

Rapid Capture & Control uses Schneider Electric’s high-end power meters and ION software, to deliver a comprehensive solution that meets the regulatory requirements of the New Zealand and Australian generation markets.
 
It combines high-speed monitoring and recording and presents this in graphical format along with raw data. Frequency triggers are sampled at high-speed every ½ cycle to initiate an event capture. A voltage sag/swell will also trigger a data capture, in Rapid Capture & Control Advanced.
 
At the conclusion of the event, the event capture report is sent via email. Multiple events can be stored on the meter in the short-term should email communications be interrupted.
