- High priority process components for example components that need immediate processing for the system to achieve latency goals, are executed within interrupt handler 614. If follow- on low priority processes are to occur, a flag 618 is set for the follow-on process.
- interrupt handler 616 is not executing, a low priority polling loop is running, checking the status of process flags 618. If a process's flag is set, its process flag is cleared and the process is executed. As described above, this process may enable the execution of further follow-on processes by setting their process flags.
- high priority processes for execution may include recording the local time of an arriving packet, which is triggered by an interrupt from communications interface 70, initiation of data sampling by sample and hold A/D converter 76, execution timer reset, which is triggered by a timer expiration interrupt, and enabling data sample collection, which is triggered by a data ready interrupt from A/D converter 76.
- follow-on processes that may be initiated by the high-priority processes may include low priority execution of command message decoding and execution, synchronization processes as needed, for example, when a particular command message is received, low priority evaluation of communication channel health, reading of a set of data samples from the A/D converter, and loading the set of data samples into a data packet.
- the data packet is transmitted to CCPU 24 when all of the data sample fields of the data packet's have been filled with new data (since the previous packet transmission).
- the software architecture of node electronics unit 20 enables real-time, synchronized monitoring and control of node electronics unit 20, such as synchronized sampling and transmission of circuit brealcer 16 currents and voltages to CCPU 24, and real-time reception and execution of commands issued by CCPU 24.
- the software architecture also provides for division of processes into high priority (i.e. immediate - interrupt driven) and low priority categories, execution of high priority tasks that are important for real-time, synchronized node operation, and use of flags and polling to enable execution of lower priority tasks.
- High priority tasks which are triggered by interrupts may include recording the local time of an arriving message packet, initiating A/D converter 76 data acquisition, resetting timer 602, and enabling data sample collection.
- Lower priority tasks which are triggered through the polling of flags set by other processes may include decoding of received messages and execution of received message commands, evaluation of communication channel health, reading of data samples from A/D converter 76, and transmission of node electronics unit information to CCPU 24.
- FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating an exemplary method 700 for operating the node electronics unit shown in Figure 6.
- the node electronics unit is a component of a centrally controlled power distribution system wherein the power distribution system includes a plurality of circuit breakers that are each coupled to a single node electronics unit.
- Each node electronics unit includes a plurality of processors and a memory, and is communicatively coupled to at least one CCPU through an associated network.
- Method 700 includes triggering 702 a first node electronics unit process with a processor interrupt. High priority processes may originate internal to the processor and/or external to the processor. An interrupt handler, executing on each processor services each received interrupt.
- An interrupt may trigger a high priority process such as recording a local time of an arriving message packet, initiation of an A/D converter data sampling and a timer reset, and enabling data sample collection.
- An interrupt that triggers 702 recording the local time of an arriving message packet is an example of an interrupt from an interrupt source external to processor. Such an interrupt may originate in communications interface. Triggering an initiation of the A/D converter data sampling and the timer reset is an example of an interrupt from an interrupt source internal to processor such as from a timer expiration interrupt.
- a device such as A/D converter may signal a data ready condition to processor using an interrupt.
- Node electronics unit processor includes a background polling process for processes that are not high priority processes.
- a lower priority request triggers 704 a second node electronics unit process by background polling of a plurality of process execution flags and/or a scheduled processor interrupt.
- a device or routine requests servicing of a lower priority process by setting at least one process execution flag, processor polls the process execution flags when processor interrupt handler 614 is not executing, and triggers a low priority process when a process execution flag is set.
- a first process initiated by a process execution flag may spawn another second process such that a follow-on process execution flag is set by the first process to enable execution of a follow-on process.
- interrupt handler 614 services the processor interrupts.
- interrupts are handled using the processor operating system, and processes are scheduled using the processor operating system.
- Exemplary processes that may be initiated using a process execution flag include decoding of received messages and executing received message commands, evaluating communication channel health, conducting a node electronics unit self-evaluation, reading data samples from a node electronics unit A/D converter, executing local protection, logging diagnostic history, logging event history, reading circuit breaker status, reading node identification, determining identification of systems units, updating system unit identification, executing a synchronization routine, adaptively modifying node electronics unit parameters and process execution, and transmitting node electronics unit information to the CCPUs.
- Node electronics unit parameters may include a local protection function parameter, a communication parameter, a sampling parameter, a diagnostic parameter, and a calibration parameter.
- Node electronics unit process execution may include a condition for triggering a process, adding a new trigger, replacing an existing trigger, replacing an existing process with an alternate process, adding a new process, removing an existing process.
- the existing process may be replaced with an alternate process that is resident in the node and the alternate process may be identified by a process description received from a remote source such as a remote processor, a remote controller, a manual entry, an external process server, an external code server, a storage media, and the a process description may include a binary, executable, compilable source code, interpretable source code, or references to resident code blocks.
- a remote source such as a remote processor, a remote controller, a manual entry, an external process server, an external code server, a storage media
- the a process description may include a binary, executable, compilable source code, interpretable source code, or references to resident code blocks.
- Node electronics unit parameters and process execution may be adaptively modified based on system resources, a communication network noise level, a data signal-to-noise ratio, a change in a number of network nodes, a communication channel utilization, a change of authorization of parameters, service requested data, and a change command received from at least one of a remote controller and an external processor.

- Node electronics unit parameters and process execution may be adaptively modified based on service requested data that may include system status data, local status data, local health data, communication network data, data signal-to- noise ratio, event history, and error history.
- At least one of the plurality of processors may be configured to operate at a first power consumption, which would be the power consumption level during a normal operating period, and also configured to operate at a second, reduced power consumption, which would occur during periods of a loss of normal power to the node electronics unit as may occur during a fault in the power supply.
- a processor may be programmed to operate as a primary processor and a second processor may be programmed to operate as a secondary processor.
- the primary processor is operable to perform the functions of a processor in a normal mode and the secondary processor is operable in a sleep mode and may be self powered.
- the secondary processor may remain in sleep mode until activated by an external signal, such as a loss of power to the node electronics unit or may "wake-up" periodically, based on an internal timer, to determine the status of the node electronics unit and then reenter sleep mode.
- the secondary processor may be configured to operate with ultra-low power, at very high processor speed, and be capable of a short power-up or initialization time.
- the secondary processor may communicate secondary processor status, secondary processor health, and secondary processor events to the primary processor, and may receive commands, parameters, status information, and health information from the primary processor.
