Introduction

Welcome

The PMCS Interface Toolkit is a POWER LEADER Power Management Control System (PMCS) tool that provides a custom toolkit to efficiently create flexible, accurate, and friendly user interfaces to your power management data. With the PMCS Wizards (accurate graphical representations of power management devices and other commonly encountered objects), you can create applications to provide a customized interface that accurately represents physical, electrical, and geographical plant layouts. The wizards can significantly cut new system development time, providing results in less than an hour.

The PMCS Interface Toolkit allows you to create one-line diagrams, elevation views, and floor plans that you can combine with tabular data screens and three-dimensional device wizards to create a virtual representation of your facility and equipment. With this graphical user interface, you actually see and control devices on the screen, without having to make a trip out to the meter or trip unit.

The Toolkit, which consists of the CIMPLICITY® HMI development environment coupled with GE’s PMCS wizards, is easy to use, taking advantage of state-of-the-art drag-and-drop technology. Wizards are provided for all the devices most commonly used with the PMCS DDE Server. Creating a custom interface is as easy as selecting wizards for the devices installed in a facility and placing them on the screen.

Here’s what you’ll find in this guide:

∙Chapter 2 explains the kinds of PMCS Wizards, their use and configuration – Small Faceplate wizards, Large Faceplate wizards, Tabular Data Screen wizards, One- Line wizards, Elevation wizards, and Floor Plan wizards. Includes instructions on using the PMCS Advanced Wizards, including Small Faceplates, Large Faceplates, and Tabular Wizards.

∙Chapter 3 illustrates the use of the GE wizards described in Chapter 2 to create animated displays of the facility floor plan, switchgear elevations, and system one- line diagrams.

∙Chapter 4 gives an example of application development, using the wizards described in Chapters 2 and 3 to create an actual PMCS application.

∙Chapter 5 describes the functions available with each of the GE Large Faceplate wizards. These wizards are accurate graphical
