Introduction

Welcome to the Enervista PMCS 6.15 Quick start Guide. The intent of this guide is to quickly walk a user through the basic configuration and operation steps in order to view data from a GE Multilin device. It is not intended to illustrate or explain advanced features and configurations such as adding generic Modbus devices or creating/using custom one-line screens/wizards. Questions of this nature should be addressed in the Enervista PMCS 6.15 documentation found in the CD/Tech_Doc/GE_CD.

By the end of the guide a user should be able to do the following

Add a GE Multilin Modbus RTU/TCP/IP device to PMCS 6.15.

View device generated Events/Alarms from the device

View waveforms from the device (if supported by device)

Below is a simple system combining all the base elements of a PMCS 6.15 system comprised of the following elements: Modbus RTU and Modbus TCP/IP devices, Multinet Gateway, Multilink Ethernet switch and the host PC running Enervista PMCS.
