Abstract
The embodiments described herein provide a system including an intelligent electronic device (IED) comprising a first processor configured to communicate control commands to power equipment, receive measurements from the power equipment, use a secure wireless system to send data to an access point, wherein the data includes the measurements, and use the secure system to communicate with a management device, via the access point, to receive configuration information, command information, or any combination thereof.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an intelligent electronic device (IED) comprising a first processor configured to:
- communicate control commands to power equipment, and to receive measurements from the power equipment;
- and
- use a secure system to communicate with a management device, via an access point, to securely and wirelessly receive configuration information, command information, or any combination thereof, and to securely and wirelessly send data, wherein the data includes the measurements.
A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor of an electronic device, the instructions configured to:
- send a control command to a power equipment;
- receive measurements for the power equipment, wherein the measurements include current values, voltage values, frequency values, or any combination thereof;
- and
- use a secure system to communicate with a management device, via a access point, to securely and wirelessly receive configuration information, command information, or any combination thereof, and to securely and wirelessly send data, wherein the data includes the measurements.
A system, comprising:
- an intelligent electronic device (IED) configured to couple directly to a computing device, wherein the IED comprises a first processor configured to:
- communicate control commands to a power equipment, and to receive measurements from the power equipment;
- send data directly to the computing device, wherein the data includes the measurements;
- and
- to receive configuration information, command information, or any combination thereof directly from the computing device.
