meLAN®Max Vs. μeLAN® 3.2

• μeLAN® 3.2 is an upgraded version of μeLAN® 3.2
• Most of the features of μeLAN® 3.2 retained.
• Hardware key used in μeLAN® 3.2 cannot be used for μeLAN® Max and vice versa.
• Parameters supported: Instantaneous, Power, Demand, Phase Angle, Forward Integrated Parameters and Old Integrated Parameters.
  
  • Parameters not supported by Meters will display as “No Response” or “0 (Zero)”. For e.g. EM 6434 will display zero for VLL and Current.

 

---

What operating systems are supported?

• Windows 2000 Server
• Windows XP Professional ( Service pack 1)
• Windows 2000 Professional (Service pack 3 and Service pack 4 )

---

What is the Communication Interface supported?

• Connect the Devices / Meters thru any one of the following
• RS232 Serial Port (COM Ports available in the PCs)
• USB Port via USB to Serial Converter Cable
• Requires USB to Serial Converter driver to be installed.
• RS485 / RS232 Serial Port to Ethernet Converter
• Recommended Make: Moxa NPort Express Model No DE-211
• Respective Drivers should be installed and configured by user.
• µeLAN® Max Supports only COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4. So configure the communication interface for any one of the ports

  

---

Can I Print HMI Screens like in µeLAN® 3.2?

• The HMI Screens you view like Trends, Bar graph, Vector diagram, etc can now be printed directly to printer

---

Can I Save HMI Screens as BMP like in µeLAN® 3.2?

• You can take the snapshot of the HMI screen and save it as “bmp” file.

How to enable only Load Center (Meter) which you want?

• µeLAN® Max will read from the load centers which are enabled as per the PO/Indent. So if you have only meters connected then μeLAN® Max will read only from the meter you have configured.
• You should order this information before you buy μeLAN® Max, the hardware key will be programmed per order.
  • You can enable more load centers at later period also( max upto 30 nodes), for this you shall contact Conzerv HO.

 

---

What I am supposed to do if I have to upgrade?

• Raise indent on the requirement. Mention the µeLAN® Max hardware key number in the indent itself.
• On receipt of the indent Conzerv will raise invoice, following which you will receive License Upgrade Utility thru’ email as attachment or CD. Run the License Upgrade Utility to upgrade µeLAN® Max.
• Save the attachment in your PC and copy the License Upgrade Utility to the µeLAN® Max PC. (For e.g. C:\ or D:\ in your µeLAN® 4.0 PC) and run the License Upgrade Utility.

 

---

What will happen if µeLAN® Max is reinstalled (or PC formatted) after (License) upgrade?

• The Upgraded License information will be retained, since it is stored in hardware key.
• You will have to just reinstall µeLAN® Max and insert the hardware key firmly and run µeLAN® Max.

 

---

What third party software required?

• Microsoft Office 2000 / XP / 2003 to generate reports
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.x or above..
