, Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to simulation test kits, and more specifically relates to, Ethernet based sharing of simulation test kit records by using internet protocol.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Traditional circuit breakers automatically operate as electronic switches which are adapted to protect electrical circuits from damage due to overloading or short circuiting. Generally, a circuit breaker detects a current fault condition and subsequently causes contacts within the circuit breaker to open thereby interrupting the circuit. An arc is generated when the current is interrupted. The arc must be contained, cooled, and extinguished in a controlled way, so that the gap between the contacts can again withstand the voltage in the circuit. When the fault condition is corrected, the contacts are reclosed manually and power is restored to the interrupted circuit.
[0004] Various mechanisms for controlling the closing and opening circuits in a circuit breaker during fault conditions are known in the prior art, including actuators, solid-state circuits, latches, etc. example of such technique is recited in United States patent application 9710644B2, entitled “Techniques for sharing network security event information”. The patent discloses techniques for pooling and searching network security events reported by multiple sources. As information representing a security event is received from one source, it is searched against a central or distributed database representing events reported from multiple, diverse sources (e.g., different client networks). Either the search or correlated results can be filtered and/or routed according at least one characteristic associated with the networks, for example, to limit correlation to events reported by what are presumed to be similarly situated networks. The disclosed techniques facilitate faster identification of high-relevancy security event information, and thereby help facilitate faster threat identification and mitigation. Various techniques can be implemented as standalone software (e.g., for use by a private network) or for a central pooling and/or query service. This disclosure also provides different examples of actions that can be taken in response to search result. Another example, of such technique is recited in United States patent application 7552367B2 entitled “Fault recording and sequence of events recording device capable of recording communication-based signals related to electrical power systems”. The patent discloses a method for recording analog signals and digitally encoded information associated with primary and secondary devices of an electric power system includes: receiving a plurality of analog output signals and a plurality of ON/OFF status signals from the electric power system; receiving a time-synchronization analog signal and/or a time-synchronization data packet from a time synchronization source; maintaining an internal clock synchronized with the synchronization source; sampling and digitizing the plurality of analog output signals; monitoring a status and/or a change of status of the plurality of ON/OFF status signals; receiving digitally encoded information signals as incoming data packets; decoding and analyzing the incoming data packets; analyzing the plurality of analog output signals and digitally encoded information signals using a triggering algorithm; and storing digitized analog output signals and digitally encoded information signals together with corresponding timing information in a record as fault and sequence of events records.
[0005] Simulation test kit is one of the product and systems in electrical and automation domain used to generate AC (alternate current) to test the different protection, simulation test kit is portable. While testing different protection trip, all trip record is stored in the memory of simulation kit as per setting number of record can stored. User wants that trip record to maintain the daily record and for that, all trip record uploaded from simulation test kit to PC by physical media serial cable. Serial protocol like RS232 is used to upload record.
[0006] However, in the prior-art record upload from simulation kit to PC is very costly. Further, conventionally an external serial cable required and makes physical connection proper. Furthermore, in the conventional system transfer of records to long distance places is not feasible.
[0007] Whereas there is certainly nothing wrong with existing techniques or system, nonetheless, there still exists a need to provide an efficient, effective, reliable and improved system and method for sharing network security event information. Further, there exists a need of an internet protocol with high-level security to share the trip record to different user. Furthermore, there is a need of an internet protocol that is easy to share with different user and from long distance communication can be done.

Accordingly, in some embodiments, the numerical parameters set forth in the written description and attached claims are approximations that can vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment.
