Abstract: A system for transmitting product information of a product is described. The system contains a product with an electronic controller for acquiring and/or storing product information, wherein the product information comprises standard information about the product and current product information, a barcode generating component for generating a barcode for representing the product information, wherein the barcode generating means is connected to the product for data transfer or is integrated into the product, and a barcode updating device for updating the barcode on the basis of the standard information about the product and current product information. There is furthermore an acquisition module for the information acquisition of the product information from the barcode by means of an image recording device.

Abstract: An exemplary method for configuring an intelligent electronic device in a power delivery system includes receiving identification data for the intelligent electronic device, based on the received identification data and on capabilities of the intelligent electronic device, generating a configuration profile for the intelligent electronic device, receiving operating parameters for the intelligent electronic device, determining a coordination of the intelligent electronic device with the power delivery system based on the received operating parameters, displaying the determined coordination, modifying the configuration profile based on the received operating parameters and the determined coordination, and configuring the intelligent electronic device with the modified configuration profile.

Abstract: A preferred embodiment of a system comprises a recloser electrically coupled to a voltage source of a power-distribution network and adapted to isolate a section of a distribution feeder of the power-distribution network from the voltage source in response to an overcurrent condition in the section of the distribution feeder. The system also comprises a sectionalizer electrically coupled to the section of the distribution feeder. The sectionalizer and the recloser are adapted to communicate via a data network and the recloser is responsive to control inputs sent to the recloser from the sectionalizer over the data network.

Abstract: An automatic configuration tool for use with power protection and restoration devices such as reclosers and switches in power transmission and distribution systems. An automatic configuration application provides a plurality of menus to a user on a graphical user interface to enable the user to select a plurality of options that are processed by various calculation engines to determine the configuration settings for a specific power protection and restoration device. The configuration settings that are generated are downloaded directly into the power protection and restoration device to provide protection, control and monitoring.
