SOFTWARE OVERVIEW

Using the EnerVista P485/D485 Setup software

DESCRIPTION When creating a new sub network configuration, EnerVista P485/D485 Setup provides a choice between starting out with a blank configuration, or using a predefined template (configuration wizard).

NOTE

•Configuration Wizard: The wizard option automatically creates a configuration based on information about the sub-network (Modbus) devices; that is, the user simply has to “fill in the blanks”.

•Blank Configuration: This option should be used when creating a new configuration when the configuration wizard does not fit the application or to modify an existing configuration for a new application. The following chapters will describe the configuration process in detail.

It is recommended to use the configuration wizard for its simplicity of use with GE relays and meters.

The online help system explains each configuration step in detail.

CONFIGURATION The purpose of the configuration wizard is to help you through the process of creating a WIZARD project with a Modbus RTU sub-network. When the wizard is finished, it is possible to

continue editing the project in the configuration tool.

The EnerVista P485/D485 Setup software will open with following screen to select the configuration.

Select Configuration Wizard and click on OK.
