PCS-996RC disturbance & fault recorder is mainly used for recording the dynamic fault process of power system. The DFR is composed of one control unit (PCS-996RC) and multiple acquisition units (PCS-996RA). The control unit is linked to the acquisition units via fiber optic cables in point-to-point communication mode.
The control unit PCS-996RC is responsible for concentrating and monitoring of large array of quantities from different acquisition units.The acquisition unit PCS-996RA is responsible for sampling and synchronizing of analogue quantities and digital quantities.One control unit can connect with 1~4 acquisition units. Each of acquisition unit has 48 analog channels and 96 digital channels.
Typical configuration:1 × PCS-996RC + 2 × PCS-996RA, with 96 analog channels and 192 digital channels
Alternative configuration:1×PCS-996RC+ (1~4) × PCS-996RA, with (1~4)×48 analog channels and (1~4)×96 digital channels, up to 192 analog channels and 384 digital channels
