Intelligent electronic device having an XML-based graphical interface

摘要

An intelligent electronic device (IED) having an interface for displaying data sensed and generated by the intelligent electronic device and other IEDs on a network is provided. The intelligent electronic device includes at least one sensor coupled to the electric circuit configured for measuring at least one power parameter of the electrical circuit and generating at least one analog signal indicative of the at least one power parameter; at least one digital to analog converter coupled to the at least one sensor configured for receiving the at least one analog signal and converting the at least one analog signal to at least one digital signal; a processor configured for receiving the at least one digital signal and generating energy data; a communication device configured for accessing at least one second intelligent electronic device; and an interface configured for displaying data generated by the at least one second intelligent electronic device.

1. An intelligent electronic device for monitoring power of an electrical circuit comprising:
at least one sensor coupled to the electrical circuit configured for measuring at least one parameter of the electrical circuit and generating at least one analog signal indicative of the at least one parameter; at least one analog to digital converter coupled to the at least one sensor configured for receiving the at least one analog signal and converting the at least one analog signal to at least one digital signal; a processor configured for receiving the at least one digital signal, generating data, and tagging the generated data with XML tags to produce first XML-tagged generated data; a memory device for storing the first XML-tagged generated data and at least one first screen layout XML file, the at least one first screen layout XML file including display variables for configuring how an interface displays the first XML-tagged generated data; a communication device configured for retrieving at least one second screen layout XML file from at least one second intelligent electronic device and for accessing second XML-tagged data of the at least one second intelligent electronic device, the at least one second screen layout XML file including display variables for configuring how the interface displays the second XML-tagged data; and a display disposed on a face of the intelligent electronic device, the display configured for displaying the interface with the first XML-tagged generated data from the memory device in accordance with the at least one first screen layout XML file, and the display further configured for displaying the interface with the second XML-tagged data generated by the at least one second intelligent electronic device in accordance with the at least one second screen layout XML file, wherein the at least one second screen layout XML file is a client interface to replicate an interface displayed by the at least one second intelligent electronic device.
