4.4 Connecting the PM1600 with client PC
For using client PC to configure PM1600 and to monitor the PM1600,
connection between PM1600 and client PC has to be established first. Basically,
the communication goes through TCP/IP. Two ways of connection are described
in the following section.
4.4.1 Pier to pier connection
1. Connect PM1600 with PC by a pier to pier Ethernet cable. (Cross over cable)
2. On PM1600 side using hard keys or USB mouse, change to configuration
mode and setting TCP/IP as IP：192.168.2.240, Mask：255.255.255.0 （refer
to TCP/IP setting in chapter 6）
3. On PC side, setting IP address to 192.168.2.245, Mask to 255.255.255.0, and
leave gat way and DNS blank.
4. Setting trusted site for PM1600 by including 192.168.2.240 in the trusted
site group. （start browser → Tools → Internet option → Security → Trusted
site → site → Add then type in 192.168.2.240 → uncheck the “ require sever
verification for all sites in this zone”）.
4.4.2 Network Connection
In this section you will need assistance for MIS department or your internet
system providers to set up the connection.
1. Connect PM1600 with PC using LAN Ethernet cable.
2. On PM1600 side, power on PM1600 and switch to configuration mode the
default user’s names is “admin” and password is “admin”. Obtain TCPIP
address, Mask and gat way from MIS or system providers, enter those data to
PM1600（as described in chapter 6）. Leave DNS blank for future use.
3. On PC side, include the PM1600 address into your PC trusted site.
If you experience the difficulty of communication due to the block ActiveX
controls, then you should change some default of ActiveX controls and plug-ins
setting by：
1. Brower → tools → internet option → security → trusted sites → custom level
→ download signed ActiveX controls → enable.
2. Brower → tools → internet option → security → trusted sites → custom level
→ indulge and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe for scripting →
prompt.
Page 26

How to run web server
First use Ping instruction at the DOS prompt and make sure that
communication is established properly between PC and PM1600 unit.
Format: Ping IP address of PM1600
Ex: Ping 192.168.0.201
If the communication is proper, then it shows reply as follows..
If communication is not proper, then it will show the reply as follows..
In this case, you need to set TCP/IP settings in both PC and PM1600. Please
note that you should use proper cable and it should be connected at the label
shown as “LAN2” at the PM1600
Page 27
27
In the browser, you need to enter the following
Format:
http://IP address of PM1600/ipmisapi.dll
Ex: Assume IP address of PM1600 is 192.168.0.201, then
http://192.168.0.201/ipmisapi.dll

5.5 Demand Control
In this section, PM1600 demonstrate the demand control with two calculation
algorithm: blacking and rolling.
5.5.1 Blocking mode
When the blocking mode was selected, PM1600 will follow the demand
parameters, such as target demand,… etc., to carry out demand control. All
these parameters are pre-entered in the configuration mode.
The red line shows the shutdown limit curer which means the relays will be
triggered to off status when ever the predict demand line exceed the shutdown
limit line during 15 minutes window. In the mean time the high load alarm box
will be turned to red.
As the end of predict demand line（light blue color）exceed the alarm limit, the
alarm check box will turn from green to red.
PM1600 also allow the operator to change the I/O status in this page by
selecting the relay and click the enter key. There are three choice：Manual off,
Manual on and automatic by demand control. The small letter by each I/O
shows “M” or “A” accordingly.

5.5.2 Rolling mode
Using the 1 hours axis to show the rolling demand calculation mode for the
demand change.
In this figure, the green line shows the target demand. The yellow line is current
load. The red line stand for the shutdown line to triggered the IO to shed the
demand and the high load alarm will be changed to red color, when ever the
yellow line goes above.
When current load exceed the alarm limit, the alarm box will be turned to read.
All the designated IO relays which will be controlled by demand are listed in IO
status area. Red color means on status and green means off status. Since the IO
relay will be controlled by demand automatically, a small “A” will display by the
relay. PM1600 will allow users to change the relay status in this page, the small
letter there will be signed as “M”.

types such as peak, off peak and semi peak.
Under every case, the rest of information in this page has to be entered. The rate
column means electricity rate per kwh for that season and rate type. “Contract”
column means contract capacity. Target column is the capacity that demand
control will follow as the set point.
For alarm value, a percentage above the target value is required to enter here.
For example 5%, then 5 is entered. Shutdown limit is the percentage off the
target value that the PM1600 will start load shedding when the predicted
demand value is above the upper bound of shutdown limit, or start load
reinstall when the predicted demand value is lower then the lower bound of
shutdown limit. In another word, away from the shutdown limit zone the
PM1600 will execute load shedding or reinstall. If within the zone, the system
will not automatically turn the relay on or off. Therefore the percentage of
shutdown limit is critical in doing demand control, 10% is a good point to start
with.
Target meter is the meter in which the reading of KW will be used to carry on the
demand control as the target, which usually is the main meter of the system.
PM1600 has two options to perform the demand control：blocking mode and
rolling mode. The different of these two modes please refer to the reference（or
appendix）. The demand time interval is depend on the local power company
policy, usually is 15 minutes.
If blocking mode is selected, PM1600 will ask the time then it will start doing
control. Here we suggest 3 min. The PM1600 won’t do any control action until
3min. into blocking period.
If rolling mode is selected, subinterval no. will be entered to roll the period
accordingly. If 3 is entered, then every 5 minutes（15/3=5）the data will be
replaced to calculate the demand.

The last item is shed mode which users will determine the priority of shedding.
If sequence mode first is selected, PM1600 will do load shedding starting from
the sequence first mode list, then followed by the priority first mode list. If
priority first is selected here, PM1600 will do the load shedding starting from
priority first list then sequence first list later. Please also note where sequence
first mode is executed, the relay which on the top will be turned off first when it
is necessary, and followed by the second, third…etc. As the load reinstalled
start, the first relay, which is turned off, will be reinstalled first also. However, in
the priority first mode the relay which is turned off first will be reinstalled lastly
since it is the lowest priority for power usage.

6.5.2 Load Shed Setup
In this section, load control will be carried out through turn the relay off and on.
In this page, PM1600 will list all the available relays on the right hand side grid.
Users will establish the priority of the relay that will be controlled accordingly by
selecting the available relays and add to left side grid as the priority list. Users
have two lists to complete, one for priority first and the other is sequence first.
The different of these two lists are explained in previous section.
