Single Line Diagram (SLD)

For the visualisation of infrastructures, a so-called “interactive single line diagram” (SLD) is an excellent tool. Various options in the interactive single-line diagram of the SmartCollect SC² are recommended for this purpose:

• Overview of the actual infrastructure

  “I want to create transparency of my plant. Today I am blind.” This is often the reason why companies are generally interested in visualisation. The first challenge is then usually to present the system in a fundamental way.

• Designation of the individual system components

  Over the years, you will notice that the infrastructure has changed. You replace old equipment, new equipment is added, designations change, and so on. The overall documentation, however, has not adapted to the changes. In this way, you can pick up the dynamics of the system in the systemic single-line diagram of the SmartCollect SC² and display them always updated. Switching devices, relays, fuses, measuring objects, measuring points, consumers, feeders, etc. suddenly become visible. For group properties, we are also happy to go beyond regional borders.

• Display of the relevant measured values

  

  Here it is important to remember: “Less is more”. Show only the essential values relevant to this view (e.g. I, U, PF, P). Too many values impair the overview and cannot be resolved by the viewer. In addition, the performance of the software is impaired due to the large amount of data. And finally, much will be of little use to you.

• Interactive call-up of a measuring point

  For a more in-depth view or even analysis of individual measuring points, you can click to look deeper into the measuring point. This either

  • on a pop-up window of the meter,

  • by calling up an individually defined dashboard with trend and analysis function

  • or even deep at the web GUI level.

    All depending on the functionality of the measuring devices, of course.
