Innovative solution for remote monitoring and control of automatic breakers in power distribution inlet boxes gives the possibility:
• To control the current status of automatic switchers • To differentiate the cut-off reason (manual/emergency) • To control switchers position in remote control mode • To block remote control locally
Solution for monitoring of Diesel Generation Sets (DGS) in automation systems gives the possibility to perform planned maintenance and to implement the control of all parameters of set operation:
• Parameters of main supply net • Status of reserve switching device • Parameters of engine operation • Parameters of generator operation • Statistic parameters
• Parameters of power quality
«Megapolis-TM» building power supply control boxes are designed on the basis of modern and reliable components from «Schneider Electric». Automation controllers in boxes give the possibility to perform complex monitoring and control of power distribution at different levels: inlet units, distribution units, end-users. Automation boxes are easily integrated in existing building control system using standard pro-tocols (Modbus) upon RS485/TCP bus.
Special attention in automation of buildings is paid to the infrastructure of data-centers, where the servers operation provides the information support of business. The key points of monitoring are reliability of power supply and energy effectiveness on engineering sys-tems.
«Megapolis-TM» solution for monitoring of data centers infrastructure includes control of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units operation and control of conditioning systems operation integrated with standard protocols.
TM-E1 model is universal solution for power supply control of distant objects of automation. TM-E1 model functionality allows to determine the reason of cut-off and to reactivate the power supply of the object without site visiting.
«Megapolis-TM» Mobile client features:

Single SCADA application for every device platform
MEGAPOLIS
Starting with version 2.3 «Megapolis-TM» Mobile client has a certain number of unique GIS-func-tions to perform topological tasks in the diagrams of pipelines:
• Searching of cut-off or insulating units (valves, stopcocks) for unspecified object (gas distribution point, building, valve)
• Search for switched off customers as a result of the cut-off / failure on the pipeline • Emergency team vehicle route tracing to the destination point
Integration with «Megalopolis» Complex in-formation system provides all inin-formation of ob-jects and customers inside the Mobile client:
• Object passports and accounting information • Technical characteristics of the installed objects • Information on current and completed
applica-tions from customers
• Information about performed works and main-tenance
Deep integration of «Megapolis-TM» dispatching system with GIS-systems and «Megapolis» information system considerably increases the quality and content of information results thus allowing to make right dispatching decisions on time.
Emergency team has technical opportunity to check the location place of the shut-off equipment relative to the team position and to control SCADA objects using «Megapolis-TM» client at tablet. Integration with emergency calls subsystem gives the possibility to receive new calls and actual information about emergency situation directly at the site.
Integrated GIS in a mobile client
«Megapolis-TM. Virtual dispatching» application completes the mobile client with the possibility to control dispatching systems by voice and gestures. Application is based
on the innovative technologies of voice and gestures recognition from Microsoft and is adopted to oral Russian and English speech recognition. Gesture control allows the operator to control the system in front of the screen, without being attached to a desktop. Voice command control increases considerably the speed and convenience of initial data input for the situation analysis (customer address in emergency call, searching of SCADA object by its name or address).
Pronunciation of voice commands is clear at the level of intuition and does not need time for keyboard input.
As a result of voice command integration dispatching effectiveness, comfort of work and personnel study abilities increased considerably.
