Introduction to Management Console

The Management Console is the starting application for ION software. From the Management Console, you can view and configure network components (i.e. servers, sites, devices), set up dialout modems and connection schedules, launch system and database applications, and more. This lab will present the major features of Management Console and show you how to use the most common tools such as the User Manager and Reporting Configuration Manager. It will also outline how to establish communications with new Ethernet and serial devices. Some of the advanced tools of the Management Console such as Database Manager, Diagnostics Viewer, Designer, Modbus Device Importer, Event Watcher Manager and the Time of Use Editor will be addressed in later labs.
Objectives
Upon completion of this lab, the student will be able to: Add Ethernet and serial downstream devices, connected to a gateway, into Management Console Confirm connections between meter and server to ensure communications are working properly Create/modify ION users in the system using the User Manager Become familiar with some of the tools available from Management Console

Add Ethernet and Serial Meters to Management Console

The Primary Server contains all the ION Enterprise programs and it controls the overall operation of your energy management system. The primary server is displayed on the Server screen when you first start Management Console. WARNING: Due to the way that the ION Log Inserter service builds device tables in the ION_Data database, its a best practice to shut down the service before adding devices in Management Console. If the ION Log Inserter service is running when a device (i.e. name = SubA.Main) is added in Management Console, a set of tables in the ION_Data database will be immediately created for that device. If the device name is changed (i.e. name = Sub_A.Incomer) a few minutes later because the name was entered incorrectly (due to a mistake or a typo), a second set of tables will be created in the database. The system will still work correctly, but the extra sets of tables in the database will cause confusion to the enduser since they will be visible when querying historic data in Vista, opening nodes in Designer and running reports in Web Reporter. To eliminate this annoyance and source of confusion, follow these steps: 7. 8. Click Start Control Panel Administrative Tools Services to open the Services window.
Rightclick the ION Log Inserter service and click Stop

Check System Log Events

The System Log Events area of Management Console is a high level view of the connection statuses of the different components in the ION Enterprise system. These events are stored in the ION_SystemLog database. 59. In the left pane of the Management Console window, click the System Log Events icon. 60. Select the system components for which you want to view events (i.e., servers, sites, devices). NOTE: If there are no events for a particular system component, that check box is unavailable. Servers Displays server level events such as when any of the ION services start, stop, or fail to start. Also displays information about secondary server and database server connections. Sites Displays device and site level connection events such as when an Ethernet device or site gets connected to the system, disconnected or loses its connection. Devices Displays device level events such as when a device comes online or goes offline (communication established or lost). Unexpected behaviour from the Data Recorders will also be displayed if any device programming has occurred.
61. To view details of an event, doubleclick on the entry in the event log. What types of events are listed for the Servers
What types of events are listed for the Sites
Why are there no events listed for the Devices yet?
Page 69 of 156
62. Select the minimum priority level of events to be displayed (see below for more information on priority levels). Priority Priority classifies what type of event has occurred. The value corresponds to the severity of the event: the higher the number, the more severe the event. The priority is contained in the ION_SystemLog database as a number. In the System Events Log display, the priority levels are displayed as text strings. The priority numbers are mapped to the text strings as follows: Diagnostic 05 Information 620 Warning 2163 Error 64191 Critical 192255
By default, the Cutoff setup register of Log Inserters System Log Controller module is set to 192. This means that system events with a priority less than 192 are not transferred to the ION_Data database and therefore cannot be viewed in Vista using the Global Event Log Viewer. If you want to view lower priority events in Vista, use the above priority mapping as a guide to set the Cutoff setup register to a lower value (using Designer).

This arrow will link an output register from a module to an input register of the Arithmetic module. Click this triangle and select NEW Source:
Page 146 of 156
13. A link should now have been made to the input of the Arithmetic module. To see if the link has actually been made, click on the input triangle again. A popup window will appear, listing all of the links made to the module. 14. Repeat the above steps to link kW tot from the two ION7650s. 15. There should now be 3 Sources made to the input of the Arithmetic module as shown below.
16. Right click the middle of the Arithmetic module to display the ION Module Setup window.
By default, the arithmetic module is configured to act as a simple buffer (it will pass the input value to the output without any modification). 17. Click ART1 Formula 4 S4 and click Modify
Page 147 of 156
18. Change the formula to S1+S2+S3. Click OK Are there other ways of writing the same mathematical function in the Arithmetic Module? YES / NO HINT: Refer to the ION Reference Guide Write down two alternative ways of writing the same equation (S1+S2+S3) 1. 2. What does ART1 mean?
This formula is simply a mathematical function to add the values of Source1, Source2, and Source3 and send the result to the output register ART1 Result 4. ION modules and their output registers can be provided with custom labels in order to help identify that modules/registers specific function (it is considered good ION programming practice to do this). 19. At the bottom of the ION Module Setup window, click the Use Custom Label radio button. Rename the default label to SYS KW TOT. 20. Now, rename the output registers for this module. To rename the label for an output register click on the output register (i.e. ART1 Result 4) then click Modify Once the Modify Label window appears select Use Custom Label. Rename the output registers as follows: o o o o ART1 Result 1 ART1 Result 2 ART1 Result 3 ART1 Result 4 SUBB.FEEDER1A KW TOT SUBA.MAIN KW TOT SUBB.MAIN KW TOT KW SYS TOT
Page 148 of 156
21. Now that all of the output registers on the Arithmetic Modules have been renamed, create six new modules in the VIP: 4 x Sliding Window Demand 1 x Periodic Timer 1 x Data Recorder
Data Recorder Periodic Timer
Sliding Window Demand
NOTE: The Periodic Timer is used to trigger the Data Recorder according to a specified interval. Changing the trigger period has a direct affect on the logging frequency of the node. The Sliding Window Demand module is used to calculate average values.
22. Right click on the center of the Periodic Timer to open the ION Module Setup window.
Page 149 of 156
23. Click on PT1 Period and then click Modify. Configure the Period Timer to have a period of 1 minute. Typically, you would use 900 seconds (for 15 minute records), but a 60 second log will get data into the database faster. Change the value of the period from 900 to 60. 24. Rename the output register to SYS KW TOT Log 25. Click the Use Custom Label radio button and change the name of the module to 1 MINUTE TRG 26. Click OK 27. Configure the Data Recorder module that was dragged out earlier as follows: 28. Set the RE2 Depth to 60
NOTE: Click OK to the warning message. There isnt any data in the module yet, so resetting it will have no affect. You can disable the warning messages if desired.
29. Rename the output register from RE1 Data Log to SYS KW TOT Log 30. Rename the modules label to SYS KW TOT 31. Configure the first Sliding Window Demand module as follows 32. Set the Sub Intvl to 60 33. Rename the output register from SD1 SWinDemand to SUBB.FEEDER1A KW TOT 34. Rename the modules label to SUBB.FEEDER1A KW TOT
Page 150 of 156
Its important that the Sub Intvl value is the same as the Periodic Timer Trigger for accurate calculations
35. Configure the next three Sliding Window Demand modules with the same settings for: SUBA.MAIN KW TOT, SUBB.MAIN KW TOT, and KW SYS TOT Your configuration should look like the following:
36. Link the four output registers from the Arithmetic module to the Source inputs of the four Sliding Window Demand modules. This will create 60 second average kW values for the three sources and the virtual system total.
Page 151 of 156
37. Link the KW TOT output registers from the four Sliding Window Demand modules to the New Source input of the Data Recorder. This will add four sources to the Data Recorder.
38. Link the 1 MINUTE TRG output from the Periodic Timer module to the Record input of the Data Recorder 39. Right click on the input of the Data Recorder module to verify that the links have been created
Page 152 of 156
