Advanced Setup Features

Creating Custom Quantities to be Displayed

The features discussed in this section are not required for basic circuit monitor setup, but can be used to customize your circuit monitor to suit your needs.

Any quantity that is stored in a register in the circuit monitor can be displayed on the remote display. The circuit monitor has a list of viewable quantities already defined such as average current, power factor total, and so forth. In addition to these predefined values, you can define custom quantities that can be displayed on a custom screen. For example, if your facility uses different types of utility services such as water, gas, and steam, you may want to track usage of the three services on one convenient screen. To do this, you could set up inputs to receive pulses from each utility meter, then display the scaled register quantity.

For the circuit monitor display, custom quantities can be used to display a value. Don’t confuse this feature with SMS custom quantities. SMS custom quantities are used to add new parameters which SMS can use to perform functions. SMS custom quantities are defined, for example, when you add a new POWERLOGIC-compatible device to SMS or if you want to import data into SMS from another software package. You can use the SMS custom quantities in custom tables and interactive graphics diagrams, but you cannot use circuit monitor display custom quantities in this way. Custom quantities that you define for display from the circuit monitor are not available to SMS. They must be defined separately in SMS.

To use a custom quantity, perform these tasks:

1.Create the custom quantity as described in this section.

2.Create a custom screen on which the custom quantity can be displayed. See “Creating Custom Screens” on page 31 in the following section. You can view the custom screen by selecting from the Main Menu, Meters > Custom. See “Viewing Custom Screens” on page 34 for more information.

To create a custom quantity, follow these steps:

1.From the Main Menu, select Setup. The password prompt displays.
