Overview of EQ1001.
1.1. Overview
EQ100 is energy data collecting equipment that periodically collects measured data from
measurement devices connected to RS-485 communications port and LAN port and stores the
data in its internal memory.
EQ100 can connect a variety of measurement devices to collect a large amount of measured
data. It can also register an operation channel the operated the measured data and monitor
measured data for alarm output. The incorporated Web UI function allows a user to operate
EQ100 and view a simple graph on a Web browser. Attached graph display tool EQ-Viewer
allows advanced graph display and data analysis.
1.2. Features
EQ100 has following features:
Features Details
A variety of measurement
devices can be
connected
EQ100 can connect various devices such as RS-485-connected
KM series, power monitor/temperature controller/analog value
input digital panel meter, as well as LAN-connected particle/air
flow device/PLC, in addition to wireless devices such as
thermo-humidity/illuminance/CO2 sensor.
A large amount of
measured data can be
collected
Up to 500 channels can be registered to EQ100. Configurable
intervals to collect
data from measurement devices are 1 minute/5
minutes/10 minutes/30 minutes/60 minutes (the number of
channels that can be registered is limited based on the
measurement devices and data collecting interval).
Measurement channel
can be operated
An operation channel can be created as a new channel through
operation of measurement channels. There are two types of
operation channels; a free operation channel that can specify any
operation expression and a basic unit operation channel
calculated based on basic units of two measured data.
Monitoring Alarm
Function
For each collected measured data, configuration is available on
monitoring conditions based on control value and count, email
notification output upon the conditions, and monitoring alarm
output to general-purpose output terminal.
Sub-LAN connection port
available
In addition to the standard LAN port, a sub-LAN port is available
for network configuration dedicated to LAN-connected
measurement device. Connecting a LAN-
connected measurement
device to the sub-LAN port enables stable measured data
collecting through the dedicated network.
Communication test
function with
measurement devices
The communication test function allows checking availability of
communications between EQ100 and a measurement device as
well as stable communications with a measurement device
beforehand. In addition, it can be used to investigate a cause of a
communication failure/error during data collecting.
Simple operation through
Web UI function
The Web UI function of EQ100 allows a user to operate EQ100,
view a simple graph of measured data, and check an operation
status on a Web browser.
Advanced view/analysis
by graph display tool
Attached graph display tool EQ-Viewer allows automatic summary
of collected data of EQ100 to the EQ server and detailed graph
display and analysis by the analysis tool EQ-GraphViewer.

EQ-Viewer contains the following software components:
Name Description
EQ-Manager
EQ-Manager is software to configure settings and manage operation
of EQ100 itself as well as the EQ server.
Major functions include:
- Setup: EQ100 setting, measured data collecting
setting, monitoring
setting
- Operation/display: EQ100 operation, status display
EQ-GraphViewer EQ-
GraphViewer is software to make access to the EQ server and to
view and analyze log data collected and summarized by the EQ server
from EQ100.
Major functions include:
- Graph display: Bar graph, line graph
, summary view, comparison
view
- Summarized data file output
EQ-ServerService
This software performs data collecting, logging, and monitoring in a
computer, running as a Windows service in the background.
It connects to EQ100 to collect and log collected
data in EQ100 in the
specified cycle and saves the data as summarized data DB.
EQ-GraphViewer and EQ-Manager connect to EQ-
ServerService to
perform various operations.
Major functions include:
- Automatic collecting of summarized data in EQ100
- Creation and management of summarized
data DB, and publication
to EQ-GraphViewer
Precautions for
Correct Use
- The software described above cannot perform initial setting of measurement devices
connected to EQ100. Before configuring EQ100, use the measurement device itself or the
device's setup tool to configure initial setting.
■EQ-ServerService/EQ Server
When EQ-Viewer is installed, EQ-ServerService is automatically installed as well.
EQ-ServerService is an application running as a Windows service in the background. A
computer that runs EQ-ServerService is called EQ server.
Major functions of EQ-ServerService include:
Function Description
Acquisition of Setting Value
Acquires project data from EQ-Manager.
Collecting Function
Acquires collected data from EQ100 through the network in a
specified period.

■Project to be Created by EQ-Manager
To run EQ100 and EQ server, a project must be created by EQ-Manager and written to EQ100
and EQ server respectively.
There are following two types of projects:
Project Name Description
EQ Project
A project that describes operation settings of EQ100.
An EQ project performs measured data collecting
setting from a
measurement device to EQ100 and EQ100 monitoring setting
(the measurement device and its channel are registered in the
collecting setting).
If there are more than one EQ100, a project must be created for
each EQ100.
EQ Server Project
A project that describes operation settings of EQ server. An EQ
server project performs setting of collecting
from EQ100 to EQ
server and monitoring setting on EQ server. In the collecting
setting, EQ100 must be registered. A channel must be loaded by
the corresponding EQ project or actual EQ100.
If there are more than one EQ100, settings of multiple EQ100s
are done in one EQ server project.
