SER — Sequence of Events (SOE) Recording

What is SER?

SER — SEQUENCE OF EVENTS (SOE) RECORDING

Sequence of events record­ing (SER) is per­formed by micro­proces­sor based sys­tems, which mon­i­tor col­lect­ed data inputs and record the time and sequences of the changes.

Sequence of events recorders rely on exter­nal time sources such as GPS or radio clocks to record the exact time of state of each change.

  • Sequence of Events Record­ing (SER) allows to rapid­ly analyse the root of the analomy thanks to the secure record­ing of events in the order of occurrence.
  • It can thus be used as a diag­nos­tic tool to min­i­mize plant down­time and ana­lyze blackouts.
  • The recorders are often inte­grat­ed in or inter­faced with a SCADA sys­tems, RTUs, PLCs or con­trol centers.
  • Today, mod­ern RTUs, PLCs and IEDs can time-tag events to the near­est mil­lisec­ond, not requir­ing to incor­po­rate sep­a­rate SER devices into the SCADA systems.

    RTU most com­mon­ly stands for Remote Ter­mi­nal Unit, but is some­times also used as an abbre­vi­a­tion for Remote Teleme­try Unit or Remote Tele­con­trol Unit.

    RTUs are devices that rely on micro­proces­sors and com­mu­ni­ca­tion inter­faces to auto­mat­i­cal­ly mon­i­tor and con­trol field devices and estab­lish a bridge to the plant con­trol or SCADA (super­vi­so­ry con­trol and data acqui­si­tion) systems.

    Super­vi­so­ry con­trol and data acqui­si­tion (SCADA) sys­tems col­lect, mon­i­tor and process real-time data to:

    • Auto­mate and con­trol indus­tri­al process­es remote­ly or locally
    • Pro­vide a human-machine inter­face (HMI) to direct­ly inter­act with devices such as relays, sen­sors, gen­er­a­tors, pumps, valves and others
    • Record events and auto­mate reporting

    An Intel­li­gent Elec­tron­ic Device (IED) is a term used in the elec­tric pow­er indus­try to describe micro­proces­sor-based con­trollers of pow­er sys­tem equip­ment, such as cir­cuit break­erstrans­form­ers and capac­i­tor banks.
