(ALM) (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/51774217)
Upgrading powermanager
If you want to upgrade the existing version of powermanager V2.0 to the latest version V3.0,
please note the FAQ: Upgrading a powermanager project from V2.0 to V3.0
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/58495516)
or the Online Help under "SENTRON->Project Settings->Upgrading".
Overview
powermanager contains three pre-configured projects:
● "powermanagerV3.0"
Standard project of powermanager.
● "demo_powermanagerV3.0"
Demonstration project for illustrating the powermanager options. Use as template not
possible because no external devices connected!
● "powermanagerV3.0_template"
The "powermanager_template" project is a project template.
Note
Project template
Ensure that the "powermanager_template" project remains unchanged. Otherwise, it will no
longer meet the purpose of a project template.
You can find more information under "4.2 Configuring with the project template (Page 30)".
Project start
The steps below show how the project "powermanagerV3.0" can be used in live operation.
Note
Server 2008 / Windows 7
You must always execute project administration and the powermanager console with
administrator rights (see the next figure)!
The individual managers for operating the project are started sequentially and change their
status after power-up from "0" to "2“ (green background). The sequential log is represented
in the "Log Viewer". The login window opens.
Step 3: Login
Log in on the Login dialog using the standard user "root" (no password required).
Note
Closing powermanager
powermanager must always be closed by clicking on the red traffic light symbol in the
Console or project administration to guarantee correct powering down of the individual
managers! After the project has been properly stopped, the green traffic light symbol
appears again for renewed project start.
User administration
Further users should be created for operating powermanager due to the different
authorization levels.
Enter a unique user name, the full name of the user, and a description. Select the project
language, and define group membership with the help of the arrow keys.
You can then assign the passwords of the new users under "Password".
If you confirm with OK, the newly created user appears in the User administration with
his/her properties, and can be used at the next login.
Note
Passwords
Assign a password to each user. Otherwise, access to the powermanager is unprotected.
When the powermanager is delivered, the standard user "root" has no password. Assign a
password to this user too.
Basic configuring
In the user interface of the project, you represent the system with the help of areas, sectors
and devices.
Note
Sectors
Sectors can be additionally created within the areas to represent the system.
Assign a device name suitable for your system, with information on the location of use, e.g.
"PAC3200_engine".
Note
Name assignment
When creating a device for the first time, a name without spaces must be chosen. When
renaming later, blanks can also be used.
Creation can take a little time, depending on the device and the size of the project.
When the device has been created, the Engineering view for the settings then opens.
The created devices appear in the tree view of the project.
Note
Communication
To enable powermanager to communicate with the devices, the devices must be assigned
the same IP addresses as in powermanager.
The 7KM PAC3100 measuring device with the Modbus RTU serial protocol can be
integrated into the network via a gateway node. For this purpose, enter the IP address of the
gateway device, and select the access node and the unit address (Modbus address).
Gateways can be the slots of a PAC4200, or of any other device.
In this example, a PAC4200 ("PAC4200_device") and a PAC3100 ("PAC3100_engine") are
additionally created. These are integrated into the system via the gateway of the PAC4200.
Please ensure when configuring devices that the devices are located in the same network,
and that the gateway is used in the case of the PAC 4200 with the associated 7KM PAC
RS485 module.
You can find more information in the device manuals (Page 51).
Note
Changing settings
You can make later changes via "device engineering" (right-click on the respective device).
For devices to which communication has been established, the actual measured values are
displayed immediately, and the device icon in the tree view receives a green checkmark.
The measured values of the group "Overview" (PAC3200, PAC4200) are selected as the
default. On the "selected values" tab, the values selected in device engineering on the "view"
tab are selected.
Via filter selection on the upper-left edge of the "groups" tab, you can change the displayed
measured value group, e.g. "Voltages" only.
For the devices PAC3100, PAC3200 and PAC4200, the "commands" tab can be used to
send commands (such as resetting maximum values, minimum values and counters) to the
devices (with the appropriate user authorization).
The "device data" tab displays the device information stored in the device (e.g. the order
number or the firmware version).
Note
Communication
If a connection from powermanager to the connected devices is not established, please
check the network settings. The devices and powermanager must be located on the same
network.
Note
Measuring devices
The latest firmware versions are always recommended for the measuring devices used. You
can find more information in the device manuals of the measuring devices (see "Further
information & support (Page 51)" in the last chapter).
Note
Template
When using "powermanagerV3.0_template", ensure the project is not modified.

Project start (Page 16)
After you have assigned a name for the new trend view, this appears in the selection.
When you click on , the datapoint selector for assigning the datapoints opens.
When you click on "measured value name", the project-specific tree view appears.
Now select a measured value for the desired trend view (here: "averaged 15-min power
value" for PAC4200).
Up to 16 trend curves are possible for each trend configuration. If you want to display further
trend configurations, click on "New" and assign a datapoint in the same way (see Step 1).
On the "Scale" and "Style" tabs, you can change the representation of the curves if
applicable (see Step 2).
Note
Measured values
The usual measured values for the trend view are instantaneous values such as "power",
"voltages" and "current values".
For example "power" (instantaneous power, 1s), "power interval" (averaged power value,
15min), "energy" (absolute counter statuses, e.g. kWh) and "counters" (calculated differential
consumption, 15min)
You can find further information about the measured values in the device manuals (see
"Further information & support (Page 51)").
>>> FAQ: Using the power demand value with the correct time stamp
(http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/55355519)
Note
Trend curve
An archived value is the requirement for a trend curve of historic values
Note
Archiving
The following measured value groups are archived as standard:
- Instantaneous power values (active power, apparent power, reactive power)
- Power demand values
- Energy values
Additional values can be selected via device engineering (see "4.1 / Step 3 (Page 23)").
To ensure valid consumption values, powermanager must be operated without interruption at
all times!
Prerequisites
The following actions must be executed to enable you to use reporting.
Note
Excel
Please adjust your security settings to the lowest level. This enables execution of the macros
and Active X controls. When you click on the "Reporting" button in powermanager, the Excel
table "report.xls" appears.
Following this action, all specific menus appear under the main menu "Add-Ins" when using
Excel 2007 and Excel 2010.
Step 2: Update the archive structure (only necessary after updating to Service Pack 1)
Click on "Add-Ins -> Report -> Configuration -> Archive structure"
After entering the password "erAdmin", the archive structure is created. By setting the
checkmark "Save password", this is saved for further prompts.
The database for the report types are either 15min ("EnergyReport"), 1h ("Daily
report"/"Costcenter_Daily"“) or daily values ("Monthly report").
You can select the colors for minimum and maximum marking by clicking on the colored
buttons.
The selection "Print preview after creation of report" allows you to specify whether to change
automatically to print preview after creation of the report.
By selecting "Log changes", the changes to the created reports can be archived and
displayed on an automatically created table sheet.
If you click on "OK", your report template opens in Excel.
Now define the name of the medium (used and displayed in the final report) and the relevant
unit (e.g. KWh).
Define a name for the tariff set, and define the time ranges and costs of the individual tariffs.
One tariff set must be created per medium.
The created tariff sets are then automatically available to you when defining the cost center.
Assign an appropriate name to the cost center, and assign the associated tariff sets there.
Select a device type and a measured value, assign a cost center, and select the relevant
device in the device list at bottom left. The active energy import (KWh) of a PAC4200 device
is selected in the example.
Note
Device list
The devices created in the PM Explorer are displayed.
Base unit
Archiving of all values in the database takes place in the base unit (Wh). Conversion is
necessary here if kWh is used in the report.
To convert from watt hours to kilowatt hours, enter the value "1000" in the "Divisor" box.
Via "Weighting (0-1)", the proportional assignment of the counted consumption to the
selected cost center is expressed as a decimal factor; e.g. the value 0.2 corresponds to a
proportional share of 20%.
When using the "Divisor", a warning message follows indicating the different units.
You insert other datapoints (DPs) by copying the data of the created DP to the other
columns, and calling the datapoint under "Template -> Modify DP".
A window opens in which the time range and the report type must be selected.
Then the selected cost center report is displayed.
Note
Device data
If you cannot access any measured values in your report, you must read in the archive
structure for your report again.
Click again on the button for reporting on "Add-Ins", and execute the following steps:
1) Click on "Archive structure" in the "Report->Configuration" menu
2) Enter your password (default: "erAdmin"). Confirm with "OK".
3) Acknowledge all the subsequent dialog boxes with "Yes".
This updates the archive structure.
As well as the pre-defined cost center report, users can also create and execute their own
specific reports.

If you have received error messages via Excel when reporting, this is in most cases due to
incorrectly registered components.
With 32-bit Office versions, please note the following steps:
1) Start powermanager and close Excel
2) Click on the file "reportReg_CD.bat" on the powermanager installation CD
3) Make absolutely sure here that you select the action "Run as administrator"!
4) All the necessary components should now be correctly registered.
