Power Monitoring Expert (PME) ION Architecture Programming

Length: 4 Days

Overview

(Formerly Advanced Programming)   This 4-day Instructor-Led course focuses on system and device level customization using the Designer Application in EcoStruxureTM Power Monitoring Expert (PME). Students will learn the architecture of ION meters and be guided through a series of lab activities to create custom programs for equipment monitoring, alarming, and logging. The Virtual ION Processor (VIP) will be covered for programming Modbus meters and 3rd party equipment. Designer and Vista integration will be covered, as well to show how programs can be used in PME’s graphic screens. Students will create multiple frameworks for integrating WAGES devices, control and process applications, logging, alarming, and custom calculations.
