Project Tree
Overview of Project Tree
A project tree maps the arrangement of devices based on areas and sectors.
When the application is installed, the project tree contains the root System1 and the no area area.
The project tree root branches to areas. Areas branch into sectors. Sectors branch into subsectors. Up to 6
branching levels are possible. You can attach devices to sectors and subsectors.
[sc_ProjectTree_Overview, 2, en_US]
Figure 4-6 Project Tree Root (System1) with the "no area" Area
Internal and Project-specific Object Names
Each object in the project tree has an internal and a project-specific name.
Internal Name
•The first name given to the object is assigned as the internal name.
•The internal name is a system-wide unique identifier.
•The internal name must not contain any blanks or special characters.
•Internal name cannot be changed later.
Project-specific Name
•The project-specific name is displayed on the user interface.
•A project-specific name is not necessarily unique.
•A project-specific name can contain blanks and special characters.
•A project-specific name can be changed at any time.
•A project-specific name can be translated to multiple languages.
Assigning a Name when Creating Areas or Devices
You assign the internal name when creating areas or devices. The system uses the internal name as the
project-specific name.
Assign the project-specific name when you create the sector. The system generates the internal name.

Load Monitoring
Overview of Load Monitoring
Electricity supply contracts contain provisions to calculate the kilowatthour rate and the demand rate.
The demand rate is calculated according to the maximum imported power.
Therefore, avoid power peaks and distribute the power demand uniformly throughout the day.
Monitoring
Load monitoring enables you to:
•Monitor the power demand values
•Respond to deviations from the planned target
Orientation Variables
Load monitoring supplies two orientation variables for estimation of consumption behavior:
•Correction power
•Forecast energy consumption
Correction Power
The correction power is the power that is connected or disconnected to optimally use the energy volume avail-
able for the current tariff interval. It informs you whether the energy imported in the tariff interval is within
the limits of available energy and is used optimally.
Forecast Energy Consumption
Load monitoring forecasts the expected energy consumption at the end of the tariff interval. The forecast is
recalculated for each calculation interval and becomes more precise after each calculation interval.

The tariff interval is subdivided into a number of calculation intervals that can be selected. The correction
power and the consumption forecast are determined for each calculation interval.
Response
Load monitoring supports reactive measures with:
•Switching bits
•Alerts
Switching Bits
Load monitoring sets the following switching bits:
•Element No switch: The bit is set if the correction power is within the limit curve or the first or last calcu-
lation interval is calculated.
•Element switchOff: powermanager sets this bit if the load needs to be deactivated.
•Element switchOn: powermanager sets this bit if the load needs to be activated.
The bits are triggered based on the defined limit curve.
For more information on limit curves, see 4.16.5.3 Device Engineering for Load Monitoring.
The switching state is queried in reaction plans.
For more information on reaction plans, see 4.19.1 Overview of Reaction Plans.
Alerts and Warnings
An alert or a warning can be optionally configured for each switching bit. Configure it when defining the limit
curve.
For more information on limit curves, see 4.16.5.3 Device Engineering for Load Monitoring.
Runtime View
The Runtime view for load monitoring shows the following tabs.

•Forecast: The Forecast bar shows the forecast of the consumption in the current tariff interval.
The forecast is updated for each calculation interval.
The chart displays the consumption value up to a maximum of 125 %. If the consumption goes beyond
that threshold, then color of the bar changes to red.
•Time: The yellow time bar shows the timing in the current tariff interval. The 100 % mark is the tariff
interval end time. The bar ends at the 100 % mark when the last calculation interval is reached.
•Correction value: The Correction value bar shows the positive or negative power correction value. Use
this value to adjust the actual power to its optimal value so that it corresponds to the setpoint.
The red bar or the green bar denotes the correction value for the power. Both bars originate from the 100
% mark.
– Red bar: The red bar indicates negative correction value. It starts from the 100 % mark and moves to
the right of the mark.
Switch off some power to bring the correction bar back to 100 % mark.
– Green bar: The green bar indicates positive correction value. It starts from the 100 % mark and

Schedule
Purpose
For each tariff interval during a day, a schedule defines the rated power of the monitored datapoint. Thus, the
planned rated power varies in intervals and can increase or decrease at various times in a day.
The system calculates the number of tariff intervals. The interval length in the schedule is prepared accord-
ingly. For example, if a 15-minute tariff interval is configured, the schedule contains 96 intervals.
A schedule applies to any selected calendar period. For all days without an assigned individual schedule, the
system accesses a default schedule.
The time difference between summer and winter time is not considered in the schedule. Configure the
changeover days separately.
To create or edit schedules, explicitly activate an edit mode. This prevents inadvertent parameterization errors.
Path and File Name
The system subdivides consecutive calendar periods into days and creates a file in the following directory:
<project_name>\data\EC_TimeTable
The format of the name assigned to the file is:
<load_monitor_name>_YYYYMMDD.csv
The file containing the default schedule is named:

Converter Devices
Overview
The converter device is a virtual device, which enables you to convert the power values to corresponding
energy values and vice versa.
After configuring a converter device, you can monitor, represent, and archive the power or energy values
calculated by the device.
The Device Engineering view enables you to select data points to convert for each device on the Converter
configuration tab. You can define up to 10 converter data points for each device.
For more information, see 4.16.8.2 Device Engineering for Converter Device.
Device Engineering for Converter Device
The device engineering view enables you to define power/energy parameters for each device on the
Converter configuration tab. You can define up to 10 parameters for each device.
By default, there are 10 placeholders available in each tab to add the power or energy parameters. The place-
holders for energy parameters are named Energy Value 1, Energy Value 2, Energy Value 3...Energy Value
10. The placeholders for power parameters are named Power Value 1, Power Value 2, Power Value
3...Power Value 10.

Reaction Plans
Overview of Reaction Plans
Automated Switching of Digital Outputs
Based on the configuration of the reaction plans, powermanager switches the interfaced devices' digital
outputs automatically. Automation requires configuration of the reaction plans.
Target, Function, and Source
A reaction plan consists of three parts:
•Target
The target of a reaction plan is a digital output. On the device, configure the output as Remote output to
enable switching.
•Function
The function denotes the type of triggering.
The switching operation can be triggered as follows:
– Digital input of a device
– Alert of a measured value
– Switching bit of load monitoring
•Source
Any datapoint element (DPE) that provides the selected function serves as the source.
Together, the function and the source are the switching condition.
Assigning the Target and Condition
You must prepare a separate reaction plan to switch a digital output automatically.
A maximum of one condition can be assigned to one target. However, you can assign a single condition to
multiple targets.
Validity
The system checks the validity of the source and target when a reaction plan is configured.
The reaction plan is not checked during the runtime. Later changes in the system lead to incorrect parameteri-
zation. When you reopen the configuration view for reaction plans, messages pointing out such arising param-
eterization errors are displayed.
Opening and Closing Reaction Plans
Opening Reaction Plans
To open reaction plans:
²Click View > Reaction Plan to open the reaction plans.
²In the project tree, click an area, a sector, or a device to view all the digital outputs in that object.
Root: Displays digital outputs of all devices in the system.
Area: Displays digital outputs of all devices in the selected area.
Sector: Displays digital outputs of all devices in the selected sector.

Configuring Reaction Plans
The reaction plans are listed in tables in two tabs:
Parameterize outputs tab
This tab shows:
•Assignment of the target, function, and source
•Switching status of the source
The status of the source can be inverted with a switching command.
[sc_ParameterizeOutputs_tab, 2, en_US]
Figure 4-37 Parameterize Outputs
Switching outputs tab
This tab shows the switching status of the target.
You can force the switching of the digital output using a switching command.
Scope
The reaction plans table lists the existing digital outputs. Additionally, incorrectly parameterized, deactivated,
or reaction plans that can still be configured are visible.
The scope is limited to the level selected in the project tree. All digital outputs existing in the system are listed
when the project tree root is selected.
A digital output only appears once in the list. Therefore, you can assign only one condition to one output.
Sorting
When you open the reaction plans table, all the columns are automatically sorted in ascending order based on
the digital outputs, that is, the first two columns: output area.sector(s) and Output.
Sorting is possible for all columns.

Click the column header to sort the table in descending order. Click once again to sort the table in ascending
order.
Active Reaction Plan
A reaction plan is created and active in the runtime system when a function and a source are assigned to a
digital output.
The Function column provides the following functions:
•Digital input
•Alert
•Load monitoring
Select a source whenever you select a function. The system opens a corresponding selection window. A func-
tion can be reassigned at any time. The source for a selected function can be changed later.
Select the No function function to deactivate an existing reaction plan.
The columns for sources that are not assigned are blank.
Remote Output Prerequisite
The Type of use column shows the type of use of the digital output that has been set on the device, either
directly or with configuration software.
Digital outputs can only be parameterized if they have been configured as a Remote output. The Function
column only offers functions for selection if this prerequisite is met. Otherwise, the Function and Source
columns are blank.
Nonexecutable Parameterization
A configured reaction plan becomes nonexecutable if the type of use of the digital output is modified later,
either directly on the device or via the powerconfig configuration software. In this case, a different value is
visible in the table instead of the Remote output type of use.
The system uses color coding to identify reaction plans that have become nonexecutable. The existing assign-
ment of the target, function, and source is retained.
Color Error class Meaning
Red 1 The output is configured as Rotation. It cannot be switched.
Yellow 2 An alert is selected as the source, but the associated alert handling is not activated.
The alert cannot arrive, and so the reaction plan is not executed.
Gray 3 The address of the source or of the target is deactivated. In this case, the system
does not register the changes or the switching command is not forwarded to the
device.
Switching commands are executed until the reaction plan is deleted. The "No function" function cancels
assignment of the source.
The output remains in its last known state if communication with the source is interrupted. The output status
changes accordingly as soon as communication with the source is established again and its status changes.
The digital output remains in its last known state if communication with the digital output is interrupted. The
output status changes accordingly as soon as communication with the output is established again and the
status of the source changes.
Behavior in Distributed Systems
If the digital input of a remote device (non-local device in a distributed system) is linked to the digital output
of a local device in a reaction plan and the distributed system is no longer accessible the local device maintains
the last output state internally.
For example, if there is a communication disruption, the local device internally maintains the last output state.

NOTE
If the input state of the remote device changes during the communication disruption the local device does
not recognize this status change.
Logical Inversion
In the Inverted column, you can invert the switching state. Inverting the switching state also inverts the
output status.
Columns in Parameterize Outputs Tab
The columns of the Parameterize outputs tab are sorted according to Targets, Functions, and Sources.
The Parameterize outputs tab has the following columns:
•Digital output location and Digital output
These columns display the digital output of the device that is attached in the designated area and sector
of the project tree.
•Type of use
This column displays the configured type of use of the digital output. Configuration of a reaction plan
requires the Remote output type of use.
•Function
This column is used to set the trigger for the switching operation of the digital output.
You can set one of the following triggers:
– Digital input of the device
– Alert of a measured value
– Switching bit of load monitoring
Click the table cell to open a list box. You can select the trigger types from this list.
Click on a list entry to open the corresponding dialog for selection of the source.
•Source location and Source
These columns display the datapoint element attached in the designated area and sector of the project
tree. This provides the selected function.
Click a cell to open a selection window.
•Source state
This column displays whether the source is switched on or off.
•Inverted
You can invert the switching state using this column.
If this column is set to YES, then logical inversion is switched on.
If this column is set to NO, then logical inversion is switched off.
Columns in Switch Outputs Tab
The Switch outputs tab shows the switching status of the digital output. You can change the switching status
using a switching command.
The Switch outputs tab has the following columns:
•Digital output location and Digital output
These columns display the digital output of the device that is attached in the designated area and sector
of the project tree.
•State
This column displays the switching state of the digital output.
If the switching state is OFF, then the digital output is low.
If the switching state is ON, then the digital output is high.

To do this, select the list option.
•Definition of text sequences that conduct a full text search.
To do this, select the wildcard option.
Areas
The filter conditions can be applied to:
•Area
Areas that are created in the project tree.
•Device type
Device types.
•Device name
Devices that are created in the project tree.
•Sectors
Sectors that are created in the project tree.
•Measured value
All retrievable measured values.
Five tabs denote the objects to which filter conditions are applied. Each tab represents one object.
If you select the list option, the tabs provide area-specific lists for selection.
A text sequence of the wildcard filter definition type is effective in the area in which it has been created.
Language Dependence
If you use the list option, the filter results are identical for all languages in the project. The system saves the
compiled filter based on the internal designation.
Wildcards refer to the designations in the current language. When you use wildcards, the same filter in
different languages return different results.

Power Peak Analysis
Overview of Power Peak Analysis
powermanager contains a report generator for determination of power peaks within a specified time range.
You can evaluate the following values using the report generator:
•Power demand values of the PAC device types. The time stamp of the power demand values is at the start
of the period.
•Parameterized power demand values of generic Modbus devices.

Report Filename and Path
Filename
powermanager generates the power peak analysis report in the csv file format.
The format of the file name is:
Peak_Data_<YYYY>_<MM>_<DD>_<HH>_<MM>_<SS>.csv
Here, <YYYY>, <MM>, and <DD> denote year, month, and date respectively. They indicate the date when the
report generation started.
<HH>, <MM>, and <SS> denote the hour, minute, and second respectively. They indicate the time when the
report generation started.
Directory
To select the directory where the report is saved:
²Specify the directory in the Target path field.
By default, the Target path field contains the address of the last set directory.
If you want to save the report to other directory, overwrite the path to suit your requirements.
The lowermost directory must end with a directory delimiter. For example, ../data/ instead of ../data.
Default Directory
If the specified directory does not exist, powermanager saves the report in the default directory.
The \data directory underneath the project directory is the default directory.
The default directory is set by default when the application is installed.
Any directory deviating from the default directory is stored on the client system and not throughout the
system.

E50417-H1040-C612-A2, Edition 04.2016
Calculating Power Peaks
Scope
powermanager calculates power peaks based on archived data.
A power peak consists of one or more periods. It begins with the end period of the first measured value that
exceeds the defined threshold and ends with the end period of the last measured value that exceeds the
defined threshold.
To determine the end of the period, the period length at the time of the period start is determined and is
added to it. If several measured values exceed the limit in succession, the highest violation within the time
range is specified as the power peak. The end period of the value is always specified in the report as the time
for a measured value.
Percentage Deviation
The percentage deviation from the limit is calculated based on:
((Value of the highest violation) – (Limit)) / (Limit) * 100
The percentage deviation is rounded to integral percentages without decimal places.
Example of Percentage Deviation
Consider a scenario where the defined limit is 2 kW and the query period is from:
01.01.2010 10:00 to 01.01.2010 11:00
Table 4-4 Measured Values
Time stamp (period start) Time range [min] Value [W]
01.01.2010 10:00 h 15 1957
01.01.2010 10:15 h 15 2110
01.01.2010 10:30 h 15 2215
01.01.2010 10:45 h 15 2013
01.01.2010 11:00 h 15 957
Based on the values in the preceding table, the following violations have occurred:
01.01.2010 10:30 h to 01.01.2010 11:00 h
Value: 2215 W
Therefore, the percentage of deviation is:
( 2215 W – 2000 W ) / ( 2000 W ) * 100 % = 11 %

Preparing the Cost Center Report
Media
Overview of Media
Media are used only in the cost center report. Create at least one medium in the system to create a tariff set, a
cost center, and the cost center report.
powermanager uses the term medium for a material or energy type with an assigned unit. For example, elec-
tricity measured in kWh or water consumption measured in m3.
There are no restrictions on defining the medium. Therefore, non-metric units can also be defined.
A medium that is used in a tariff set cannot be deleted.
i

You can create new subtariff sets in addition to the Default subtariff set. You can delete the created subtariff
sets if required. The validity period of the created subtariff sets cannot overlap. If the validity period of a
created subtariff set overlaps with the validity of the Default subtariff set, then the validity of the Default
subtariff set is overwritten.
Tariffs
One subtariff set contains up to 12 tariffs.
You can assign hourly tariffs, tariffs for weekdays, Sundays, and holidays.
•Ensure that the week from Monday to Sunday is occupied completely. Definition of holiday tariffs is
optional.

Adapting the Archive Size
Optimum Archive Size
The optimum archive size depends on the number of devices in the project. Data loss can occur if archives are
too small. Storage capacity is wasted if archives are too large.
In the standard powermanager V3.3 installation, the archive is designed for 100 devices. When operating
more than 500 devices, you must individually adapt the archive settings to your project. For more information,
refer to the online help and the following query under the Siemens Support Database, FAQ: “What must be
observed to ensure that the time stamp and the power demand values of the devices are correctly exported? ”
The archive_XXX.dpl files supplied in the standard installation are examples of a possible configuration.
Adapt these files to your project.

Performance Optimization
Overview
powermanager offers the following options to improve the performance of the system:
•Smoothing supplied data
•Extending polling times
•Reducing active addresses
Smoothing Supplied Data
Smoothing is used to reduce the amount of communication and the volume of data stored in the system.
powermanager can smooth the data supplied by the devices in the driver before it is processed further in the
control system.
Value-dependent Smoothing with Relative Threshold Value
powermanager performs value-dependent smoothing with a relative threshold (specified in [%]).
A value is only smoothed if the difference between value arriving in the driver and the last value transferred to
the Event Manager less than the relative threshold.
No smoothing takes place if the difference between the consecutive values exceeds the relative threshold
value.
Value Range
Meaningful threshold values lie in the range from 0% to 5%.
Smoothing Supplied Data
To smooth the supplied data:
•Right-click the project tree root.
•In the context menu, click System settings > Driver settings to view the driver settings.

smoothing button.
The recommended relative threshold range is from 0 through 5 %.
[sc_DriverSettings, 3, en_US]
•Click change smoothing to start the smoothing process.
Extending Polling Times
Depending on the measured value type, measured values are read (polled) by the devices at different times.
The communication load is reduced when the polling times are increased.
To change the polling times:
•Right-click the project tree root.
•In the context menu, click System settings > Driver settings to view the driver settings.
•Select the polling times from the list box next to [s].
•Click against each device to confirm the polling time for that device.
Reducing Addresses
You can reduce the number of active addresses to optimize the performance of powermanager. You can
reduce the addresses for PAC3200 and PAC4200 devices using a semi-automated process. For PAC1500 and
PAC3100, the scope of addresses is already reduced by default.
To reduce the addresses:
•Right-click the project tree root.
•From the context menu, click device engineering > PAC3200/PAC4200.
•Go to the Configuration tab.
•On the Configuration tab, deselect the Inherit default settings option.

Distributed Systems
Overview
Distributed systems enable connection of two or more autonomous powermanager systems via a common
network. Each subsystem of a distributed system can be configured either as a single-station system or a
multi-station system. Each system can process and display values and alerts of other systems.
Licensing
There must be a powermanager Distributed Systems license on every powermanager system that is oper-
ated in a distributed system.
Interface to the Systems
Communication of the parameterized subsystems takes place exclusively via the Distribution Manager. Enter
the parameterized subsystems in the powermanager Console before starting.
Permanent Network Connection
A permanent network connection is required for mutual data access by the participating systems.
Creating New Projects
For information on how to create a project, see 9.1 Creating a New Project.

System Names and System Numbers
Corresponding to the distpeer entries in the configuration file, applicable system names and numbers are
assigned to the project databases. A system name and a system number can only be used once within a
system network.
The system name and number are assigned when creating a project in the project administration.
The powermanager project have a predefined system name (System1) and system number (1). If you want to
connect multiple projects having the predefined system name and system number, change the system name
and system number of the individual projects.
Use the following command to change the system name and number:
i
i
NOTE
Stop the project before you run the below command.

NOTE
powermanager saves the individual datapoints including the system name in the database. If the system
name is changed, it is recommended to reconfigure the datapoints in KPI, Reports (Basic and Advanced),
and Custom panels.
WCCOAtoolSyncTypes –system <system_number> <system_name> -proj <project_name>
Here, <system_number> is the new system number that is assigned to the project,
<system_name> is the new system name that is assigned to the project,
<project_name> is the name of the project.
Example
If the system name is System2, the system number is 2, and the project name is powermanager, use the
following command:
WCCOAtoolSyncTypes –system 2 System2 -proj powermanager
If you want to run the distributed system as a single-user system again, then set the system number back to 1.
Synchronous Times
Synchronize the times of the individual system if you want to run them in a distributed system.
