2.4 Security
Data security
For analyses using external spreadsheet applications, a copy of the SCADA data can be
downloaded from the ENERCON SCADA Server. This prevents any accidental modifica-
tion of the data as the original files remain on the ENERCON SCADA Server.
2.5 Installation
If the dongle is connected to the computer before the installation, the plug-and-play pro-
cess will run automatically and the Add New Hardware Wizard dialog box will appear.
Click on Cancel to abort this process. Next, insert the CD-ROM that is included with the
package into the optical drive to start the installation process. After the CD has been in-
serted into the CD drive, the installation program launches automatically.
If the installation program does not launch automatically after the CD has been inserted,
go to Windows Explorer and run setup.exe from the CD.
The installation of ENERCON SCADA Remote 3 includes the installation of the dongle
driver.

Installation and configuration
2.6 Configuration
The software automatically configures all the required settings when connecting to a loca-
tion (ch. 4.1, p. 8).
2.7 Dongle
The ENERCON SCADA Remote 3 application can only run if the dedicated copy protec-
tion dongle is present; the software is also password protected. The dongle driver is in-
stalled automatically during the installation of ENERCON SCADA Remote 3. After this, the
dongle is ready to use and can be plugged into a USB port. If the dongle is removed while
ENERCON SCADA Remote 3 is running, the user is logged out.
The dongle is bound to the same user name and passwords used for logging into the soft-
ware.
Additional licences
If you wish to run ENERCON SCADA Remote 3 on multiple computers, additional li-
cences can be purchased from ENERCON.

Description
At a location, a data bus connects the wind energy converters and any SCADA devices
such as the ENERCON SCADA RTU to the closed-loop wind farm control to the
ENERCON SCADA server via databus.
The ENERCON SCADA Server is responsible for a number of functions in relation to com-
munication, open-loop control and closed-loop control at the site and acts as the central
repository for the current and archived operating data from WECs and SCADA compon-
ents.
It is equipped with a telecommunications or internet connection (phone line with modem,
mobile phone connection, DSL, satellite, UMTS) that enables both the client PC and
ENERCON Service to remotely access the system.

Program description
4 Program description
Locations (such as ENERCON wind energy converters and wind farms) are equipped with
the SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) remote monitoring and control
system. All relevant data (e.g. operating data, grid data and nacelle data) are saved on
the ENERCON SCADA Server located at the wind farm site.
With the ENERCON SCADA Remote 3 program as part of the ENERCON SCADA pro-
gram package, a connection can be made to a specific site to view current and historical
data online.
For offline analysis, historical data can be downloaded in dBASE IV format, which
provides for flexible data processing.
The reporting functionality can be used to generate a data or status report from the down-
loaded data.
A wind energy converter open-loop control system (Start/Stop) is possible with sufficient
usage rights via ENERCON SCADA Remote 3.
Note
The elements shown in this documentation such as menus, tabs, buttons and the values
they show vary according to relevant user rights and are therefore only available with the
relevant user authorisation.

Glossary of terms
dBASE Name of the first database management system developed for
use on personal computers, which subsequently became wide-
spread and was able to set some standards in this area.
DNS Domain Name System (DNS) is a network service whose main
purpose is to respond to requests for name resolution. For ex-
ample, host name "www.enercon.de" returns an IP address fol-
lowing the pattern "192.0.2.55".
Dongle The copy protection dongle serves, in combination with the user
name and password. to uniquely identify the user, define the user
level and protect from unauthorised use of the software.
ENERCON SCADA The ENERCON SCADA Remote software can be used to display
Remote plant data from an ENERCON wind farm in real time and to trans-
mit collected and stored data to an external computer for offline
analysis.
ENERCON SCADA Server The ENERCON SCADA Server is a personal computer installed in
the wind farm with a special software. It fulfils a variety of wind
farm communication, open-loop control and closed-loop control
functions. It is the central interface via which the wind farm oper-
ator/owner, the grid operator and ENERCON Service receive up-
to-date and archived operating data.
ENERCON SCADA The ENERCON SCADA system performs data acquisition, remote
System monitoring, and open-loop/closed-loop control both for individual
wind energy converters and entire wind farms. It enables custom-
ers and ENERCON Service to monitor operating states and to
analyse stored operating data.
FCU The ENERCON Farm Control Unit (FCU) serves to control spe-
cific electrical parameters (e.g. active power, power factor,
voltage) at the wind farm’s point of common coupling.
GDA The Grid Data Acquisition system (GDA) is used for measuring
key electrical variables at the wind farm’s point of common coup-
ling. These values are transmitted to the ENERCON SCADA
Server for display and control purposes as well as data storage.
Online Active connection to a communication network e.g. the
ENERCON SCADA Server.
PCM ENERCON SCADA Power Consumption Management is used to
limit the power consumption of ENERCON wind energy convert-
ers at the point of connection to a predefined value.
Plug and Play (PnP) Automatic installation of drivers by the system after new devices
have been connected to the computer.
RTU-C ENERCON SCADA Remote Terminal Unit-Control (RTU-C) is a
superordinate closed-loop wind farm control system. The RTU-C
uses the output values registered at the point of connection to
achieve the specified setpoints.
