PMCS Interface Toolkit |
Contents • vii |
The PMCS Interface Toolkit is a POWER LEADER Power Management Control System (PMCS) version 6.11a tool that provides a custom toolkit to efficiently create flexible, accurate, and friendly user interfaces to your power management data. With the PMCS Wizards (accurate graphical representations of power management devices and other commonly encountered objects), you can create applications to provide a customized interface that accurately represents physical, electrical, and geographical plant layouts. The wizards can significantly cut new system development time, providing results in less than an hour.
The PMCS Interface Toolkit allows you to create one-line diagrams, elevation views, and floor plans that you can combine with tabular data screens and three-dimensional device wizards to create a virtual representation of your facility and equipment. With this graphical user interface, you actually see and control devices on the screen, without having to make a trip out to the meter or trip unit.
The Toolkit, which consists of the Wonderware InTouch development environment coupled with GE’s wizards, is easy to use, taking advantage of state-of-the-art drag- and-drop technology. Wizards are provided for all the devices most commonly used with the PMCS DDE Server. Creating a custom interface is as easy as selecting wizards for the devices installed in a facility and placing them on the screen.
Here’s what you’ll find in this guide:
•Chapter 2 explains the kinds of PMCS Wizards, their use and configuration – Small Faceplate wizards, Large Faceplate wizards, Tabular Data Screen wizards, OneLine wizards, Elevation wizards, and Floor Plan wizards.
•Chapter 3 illustrates the use of the GE wizards described in Chapter 2 to create animated displays of the facility floor plan, switchgear elevations, and system oneline diagrams.
•Chapter 4 gives an example of application development, using the wizards described in Chapters 2 and 3 to create an actual PMCS application.
•Chapter 5 describes the functions available with each of the GE Large Faceplate wizards. These wizards are accurate graphical representations
1
of power management devices, complete with working controls that are linked to the corresponding devices in your facility.
•Chapter 6 describes the Tabular Data wizards. These wizards list the data and setpoints of power management devices in a tabular format. Simply point and click to select the appropriate tab of information to display and view the related data.
The examples and references in this guide enable you to create custom interfaces for your PMCS system, and allow you to access power management data in the way that best suits you.

Using and Configuring
PMCS Wizards
The wizards contained in the PMCS Interface Toolkit allow you to quickly build accurate and friendly user interfaces with InTouch. In addition to the various wizards standard with InTouch development systems, the Interface Toolkit provides six types of powerful GE wizards:
•GE Small Faceplates
•GE Large Faceplates
•GE Tabular Screens
•GE One-Line Tools
•GE Elevation Wizards
•GE Floor Plan Wizards
The five-step procedure below outlines how to use InTouch wizards.
1.From InTouch, either create a new window or open an existing window to modify.
2.Select the wizards button from the floating toolbars. The Wizard Selection dialog box pops up.
3.Select the class of wizard from the list of wizards on the left side of the Wizard Selection dialog. Several classes contain too many devices to fit on one palette and have been broken up into several palettes; for example; Small Faceplates 1 and Small Faceplates 2.
4.Double-click on the desired wizard, then click on the window to place the wizard.
5.Once the wizard has been placed, double-click anywhere on the wizard to open a configuration dialog (if appropriate), and complete any necessary configuration based on the instructions later in this chapter.
The remainder of this chapter is devoted to describing and illustrating the various kinds of wizards included in the PMCS Interface Toolkit.

The Small Faceplate wizards are icon-sized graphics typically used to create accurate elevation views and one-line diagrams. These wizards are provided with logic to open another window, typically either a Large Faceplate or Tabular Data Screen wizard. There are two palettes of Small Faceplates to choose from.
In development mode, after placing the Small Faceplate, double-click on the icon to open the Small Faceplate Dialog box, as illustrated below. Typically, a Small Faceplate wizard is linked to a window containing either a Large Faceplate or a Tabular Data Screen wizard. You can move or resize Small Faceplate wizards in the window as desired.

Enter the name of the window to open when the icon is clicked on during runtime.
7
Large Faceplate wizards are three-dimensional representations of device faceplates that can be used to display data from the device. These three-dimensional wizards include extensive logic that provides an accurate reproduction of the actual display and keys of the device. Large Faceplate wizards are typically placed in overlay windows.
8 |
PMCS Interface Toolkit |
Place the Large Faceplate wizard into an open window, then double-click on it to display the Large Faceplate Dialog box. Configure the wizard by entering the appropriate information into each of the boxes.
The figure shown below is the dialog for a typical wizard. Some wizards have additional features which may be configured. See the section titled Features of GE Large Faceplate Wizards for more details.
Enter the unique eight-character name matching the appropriate Topic in the PMCS DDE Server.
Enter the application name of the PMCS DDE Server (GE32MODB or GE32MTCP) for most PMCS devices; ION_LINK for EPM 7700 devices).
Enter the minimum security level for enabling remote command functions.
Enter the name of the window to open when the device display is clicked on during runtime.
You can move and resize Large Faceplate wizards as desired.
The button controls on the 3-D representation emulate the controls of the actual device. This may be useful for reducing software training time for personnel already familiar with device operation. The detailed features of each of the Large Faceplate wizards are described in the section titled Features of GE Large Faceplate Wizards .
EPM 7700
The EPM 7700 Large Faceplate Dialog box contains an extra field, which must be completed during configuration. The Node Name field requires that you enter the name of the computer running the Communications Server that connects to this particular device. Depending on the configuration of the EPM7700 network, this can be either the Primary node computer, or a computer setup as a "Full Station" Secondary node. Refer to DEH-40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Users Guide, and GEH-6514, PMCS Read This Book First, for more information on network configuration. The Node Name field is required because the EPM7700 does not use the same DDE server as the rest of the standard PMCS devices, and the wizard must be directed to the location of the correct Communications Server for proper configuration of DDE topic names.
9
Also, the Application Name field must be completed as ION_LINK rather than GE32MODB or GE32MTCP for the EPM7700 device. The ION LINK program is installed during initial PMCS 6.11a setup if the EPM7700 software option is selected.
When configuring Wizards on Secondary nodes, the Application Name field entry does not follow the PMCS wizard convention of “\\RemoteComputer\ION_LINK”. EPM7700 Secondary nodes run a local copy of the ION LINK server, thus the application name for EPM7700 Large Faceplate wizards is always “ION_LINK” whether the wizard is installed on the Primary node or a Secondary node. The Node Name entry determines if the wizard is on a Secondary node.
Finally, the EPM 7700 device type requires special InTouch scripting for the large faceplate wizard. Refer to the section at the end of this chapter titled Special Scripting Considerations for the EPM 7700.

Tabular Data Screen wizards contain organized, comprehensive, tabular layouts of device parameters including additional configuration and remote control features. Depending on the device, there may be multiple file-tabs beneath the tabular data section. These switch among various pages relating to data and setpoints.
Each Tabular Data Screen wizard contains buttons for activating the help file, trend window, setup window (if applicable), Event Logger, Waveform Capture, and for closing the window.
You can move and resize Tabular Data Screen wizards as desired.
In development mode, after placing a wizard into an open window, double-click on it to display the Tabular Data Dialog box. The figure below shows the dialog box for a typical Tabular Data wizard. Some wizards have additional features which may be configured. See the section titled Features of Tabular Data Screen Wizards for more details.
11
Enter the unique eightcharacter name matching the appropriate Topic in the PMCS DDE Server.
EPM 7700
Use the Group Name field to logically group devices, if desired. Enter the name of the group to which the device belongs.
Enter the application name of the PMCS DDE Server (GE32MODB or GE32MTCP).
Enter the minimum security level for enabling remote command and setup functions.
Enter the name of the window to be opened when the Trend button is clicked on during runtime.
Enter the name of the window to be opened when the Setup button is clicked on during runtime.
The EPM 7700 Tabular Data Dialog box is slightly different from the other PMCS device types, containing two extra fields and requiring minor differences in configuration. The Tabular Data Dialog for the EPM 7700 is shown below, followed by the special configuration requirements.
The Node Name field requires that you enter the name of the computer running the Communications Server that connects to this particular device. Depending on the configuration of the EPM7700 network, this can be either the Primary node computer, or a computer setup as a “Full Station” Secondary node. Refer to DEH-

40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Users Guide, and GEH-6514, PMCS Read This Book First, for more information on network configuration. The Node Name field is required because the EPM7700 does not use the same DDE server as the rest of the standard PMCS devices, and the wizard must be directed to the location of the correct Communications Server for proper configuration of DDE topic names.
Also, the Application Name field must be completed as ION_LINK rather than GE32MODB or GE32MTCP for the EPM7700 device. The ION LINK program is installed during initial PMCS setup if the EPM7700 software option is selected.
When configuring Wizards on Secondary nodes, the Application Name field entry does not follow the PMCS wizard convention of “\\RemoteComputer\ION_LINK”. EPM7700 Secondary nodes run a local copy of the ION LINK server, thus the application name for EPM7700 Tabular Data Wizards is always “ION_LINK” whether the wizard is installed on the Primary node or a Secondary node. The Node Name entry determines if the wizard is on a Secondary node.
The Gateway Name field must be completed with GE77GTWY, the application name of the GE 7700 Gateway Server program. When configuring the EPM7700 Tabular wizard on a Secondary node, the Gateway Name does follow the PMCS wizard convention of “\\RemoteComputer\GE77GTWY” in the Gateway Name field, where ‘RemoteComputer’ is the name of the PC where the GE 7700 Gateway application is running – the Primary Node. The following example shows a Tabular Data Dialog box as it would appear when configuring a Tabular Data wizard on a Secondary node. The Node Name field contains the name of the Primary Node computer, the Application Name field is ION_LINK (as it is for ALL EPM7700 wizards on ANY node) and the Gateway Name field points to the GE 7700 Gateway Server running on the Primary Node PC.
Finally, the EPM 7700 device type requires special InTouch scripting for the tabular data screen wizard. Refer to the section at the end of this chapter titled Special Scripting Considerations for the EPM 7700.
Refer to DEH-40035 for information on the Communications Server and 7700 Gateway Server.
The 369 Motor Management Relay offers an optional Remote RTD module, which can provide support for up to 12 additional RTDs. Accordingly, the 369 Tabular
13
Data Dialog box has an extra field for indicating when the RRTD option is installed. Be sure to select the correct RRTD option when completing the 369's Tabular Data Dialog window. If you are not planning to use an RRTD module with your relay, select the "No" button. This minimizes the number of I/O tags created by the wizard, providing better performance.

The Universal Relay device comes in several different models, and each model supports different capabilities, which are reflected by the various tabs available for each model. When configuring a Universal Relay device, you first select the UR Model, then choose which tabs will be displayed for the particular device.
The UR devices are also capable of communicating with a different type of PMCS DDE Server than the other PMCS Advanced Wizards. By selecting the UCA/MMS checkbox, you indicate that you wish the UR wizard to retrieve its data for display from the MMS Server whose name is entered in the Application Name field.
Complete the Application Name field; typically GE32MODB or GE32MTCP.
Special Note:
The UCA/MMS is not supported in this version. So don’t Check this checkbox.
Select the Model of UR which you are configuring. This determines the contents of the Available Tabs list.
Highlight the tabs you wish to display on the Tabular Data Screen wizard. Use the control key to select multiple tabs.
15
You can use one-line wizards to create animated one-line diagrams that represent an electrical schematic of the devices monitored by the software. These wizards are provided with logic to either open another window or display device status.
One-Line wizards are divided into five functional groups according to the type of animation:
•Horizontal and Vertical Meter wizards display another window, such as a 3-D faceplate.
•Transformer, Fuse, Ground Symbol, and Motor Symbol wizards have a discrete color-change animation indicating the On/Off state of the device.
•Horizontal and Vertical Relay wizards also have discrete color-change animation indicating the On/Off state of the device.
•Horizontal and Vertical Switch wizards have four discrete animations; two are color changes indicating the On/Off state of the device and two are used for a three-state display (Open, Closed, and Error conditions).
16 |
PMCS Interface Toolkit |
•Circuit Breaker wizards have two discrete color-change animations for On/Off status display and one analog animation for a five-state display (Open, Closed, Out, Trip, and Error conditions).
•Lockout/Tagout symbols have discrete visibility animations for various tags. Refer to the section Using and Configuring PMCS Wizards: Lockout/Tagout Wizard for more information.
In development mode, after placing the one-line device icon, double-click on the icon to open its configuration dialog box. All one-line wizards have two configuration items in common:
•Line Size is a number between 1 and 20 that sets the pixel width of the lines in the wizard.
•Size configuration consists of three radio buttons (Small, Medium, and Large) that determine the overall size of the wizard on the screen.
Use the snap-to-grid feature in InTouch to quickly align One-Line wizards. Configuration of each of the five classes of One-Line wizards is described below.
After placing a meter wizard in a window, double-click on it to display the dialog box shown below. Configure the wizard by entering the appropriate information into each of the boxes.
Enter the name of the window to open when the icon is clicked on during runtime.
Select the color of the meter wizard.

Elevation wizards are graphical elements that represent switchgear components useful for creating 3-D elevation views. These wizards are not associated with any logic or animation, but are provided to create more visually accurate screens and representations of equipment. Device icon wizards are typically placed on the Elevation wizards to show the breakers, trip units, and meters and provide navigation to device 3-D wizards, tabular displays, or arbitrary windows.
After placing an Elevation wizard in an open window, it may be moved or resized, but no other configuration is possible. Elevation wizards are not provided with logic for opening another window.
