12
The additional reports included in ReportsPlus include:
Multi-purpose Report
The Multi-purpose Report (MPR) supports a free-form type of report output that is driven by script code stored in a Multi-Purpose Report Script.
Efficiency Report
The purpose of this report is to give you information on the ‘energy efficiency’ of part or all of your process, plant or enterprise. You will be able to define an efficiency equation and then execute the equation over a period of time and a group of meters. Examples of how this report can be used are:
Calculating efficiency of a boiler system based on BTU of gas consumed versus steam
produced
Calculating production efficiency of a batch manufacturing line by calculating tons of
product versus energy consumed
1 Overview
The efficiency report will calculate not only average efficiency over the selected time range, but also snapshots of the efficiency during the range at user-specified intervals. Report output will be graphical and tabular, with a graph of efficiency versus time. The efficiency report is based on a simple Rate Schedule script.
Load Factor Report
The Load Factor report lists minimum, average and peak real power demand, load factor and time of peak demand. You can select Meters to include in the report, as well as the report date range and calculation intervals. The report output contains a tabular report and a graphical chart.
Power Factor Report
The Power Factor report lists real energy net, reactive energy net, and power factor (which is calculated from the real energy and reactive energy values) for selected meters for a selected date range divided into specified calculation intervals (hours, days, or months). Report output is tabular with a chart of power factor on the first page.
For this report to function, the selected meters or groups must be logging Real Energy Net and Reactive Energy Net.
Electrical Summary Report
The Electrical Summary report lists various electrical summary values for selected meters for the selected date and time period. These summaries are:
Total Energy kWh, kVARh and kVAh Average Demand for kW, kVAR and kVA Load Factor for kW and kVA Min and Max values for kW, kVAR, kVA and Power Factor and the date/time they
occurred along with the coincident values for the other parameters. The selected meters must be logging the relevant data in order for it to show up on the
report (for example, if Real Power Demand is not logged then there will be no kW figures on the report). Power Factor is calculated from any two of the other three parameters (kW, kVAR, kVA).
FTEMOPC 3rd party Connectivity Option
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix OPC enables Manager to collect data from third-party energy data sources through an OPC server that you provide. FTEMOPC enables OPC client support for all licensed meters.
The FTEMOPC option alone does not enable operation of FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software. A Manager license must be installed. For more information about 3rd party OPC drivers, follow the Rockwell Software Preferred Server Program link.

Groups
Click the Group link in the System tab to view the groups that have been set up. A Group is a named collection of Devices and Meters that represents a subdivision of your enterprise such as a department, division or process. Groups contain Meters, which can be shared between Groups.
A Domain is a Group that is assigned Roles and Users. Rate Schedules and reports can also be assigned to Domains. Users assigned to a Domain can only access objects assigned to that specific Domain. This feature permits an administrator to allow certain users access to only parts of the system he or she chooses.
Groups and Domains can be nested to any depth.
You must set up at least one Group or Domain before you can set-up Devices and Meters.
Devices
Devices are physical entities that FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software communicates with over a network. Click the links listed below for information on specific device types.
Setting up a Device in FactoryT alk EnergyMetrix software establishes communication and creates database definitions for the device, and enables device configuration and data monitoring by using the optional FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix RT package.
Ethernet, ControlNet, serial, and DeviceNet devices can be directly connected provided that the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server is also on the network through an appropriate network interface and you have configured the appropriate RSLinx Classic direct device drivers. Devices routed through a ControlLogix gateway or RSLinx Classic gateway are also considered directly connected devices.
Devices can also be set up in a parent/child, or pass-thru configuration. Remote I/O devices must be set up as children of a parent device such as a programmable controller. DeviceNet devices can also be used as ‘Child’ devices.

Roles and Users
Access to the application and its functions is controlled by means of Roles and Users. A role is a named collection of privileges assigned to various users to manage security.
Roles can be global or domain specific. A User is a named set of security credentials (user name and password) that permit an
individual to access the privileges defined in the Role assigned to the User. More than one Role can be assigned to a User.
Roles and Users can be assigned Global scope where they are permitted access to all domains, groups, devices, meters, reports and custom pages.
Alternately , Roles and Users can be assigned Domain-specific scope in which they permit access to an individual domain and its sub-groups, devices, meters and reports, as well as other Global objects such as reports, custom pages and rate schedules.
The default Roles are Admin, User, and Guest, with default user logins admin/admin, user/user and guest/guest respectively.
Changing the default password on the Admin default user is highly recommended to prevent inadvertent changes to the database.
T o configure Roles and Users, navigate to the Roles and Users subfolder under the System folder in the navigation tree.
To utilize Active Directory / LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), simply create a User name in the format DomainName\UserName used to log in to Windows.
The password fields and password button are displayed for Active Directory users, however, the password entered into the user setup will only be used if the user cannot be authenticated with the Active Directory server. When the user is authenticated against the Active Directory server, the Windows password is stored in the database to keep the passwords synchronized.
Rate Schedules
Rate schedules define the content and format of billing reports. You can use billing reports for the following:
Shadow billing - replicating the monthly bill from your energy provider Cost allocation - reporting the real cost of energy for each process or cost center in
your enterprise
Tenant billing - generating energy bills for use of your manufacturing or commercial
facilities by others
What-if analysis - Comparing costs of energy from different energy providers for the
same usage Rate schedules can have global scope or be assigned to a domain. Global rate schedules
can be used in all domains. Domain rate schedules apply to only a single domain.

The rate schedule model is designed to be very flexible so you can accommodate a wide variety of utility tariffs.
Multi-purpose Report Scripts
The Multi-purpose Report (MPR) is a free-form report driven by script code stored in a Multi-purpose Report Script. The MPR is part of the ReportsPlus Reports
A MPR Script defines what a MPR contains and what it looks like. A MPR script is conceptually similar to a rate schedule. Like a rate schedule, an MPR script is combined with selected meters or groups to form a specific report instance. This allows a script to be reused for different meters and groups.
MPR scripts are listed in a new sub-tree under the System tab and can be Global or assigned to a domain.
MPR scripts contain Visual Basic for .NET scripting that utilizes the MPR object model to select and format the content of the report.
MPR users are assumed to be familiar with FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix, in particular with its reporting and rate schedule functionality, and the Visual Basic for .NET scripting language.
option.
You can select one or more of the following elements, or objects, when configuring an MPR. Each provides a different way to view your energy, cost and production data.
Grid
A Grid displays data in tabular format. The MPR script contains code that creates a Grid, specifies the number, width and heading text of columns, and populates the rows of the grid with data.
Bar Chart
A Bar Chart displays a bar graph of data. The MPR script contains code that creates a bar chart, defines the x and y axes and selects the data to be displayed in one or more data series.
Tre nd C ha r t
A Trend Chart displays a line graph of data. The MPR script contains code that creates a trend chart, defines the x and y axes and selects the data to be displayed in one or more data series.
Bar chart series can be mixed with trend chart series in the same chart. Charts may have multiple Y axes.
Pie Chart
20
A Pie Chart displays a series of data as wedges of different sizes in a pie-shaped graphic. The MPR script contains code that creates a Pie Chart and populates it with data.

Rich Text Box
The Rich T ext Box provides a way to place text on a MPR. The MPR script contains code that creates the Rich Text Box and controls its location, size, content and formatting.
Page Header and Footer
The page header contains identifying elements such as the report title, the report headings from the Group setup, the report time range and time zone, and a user-selectable graphic element.
The page footer contains the report page number and the date and time the report was printed.
MPR script code controls the header graphic element selection and the visibility or the header and footer.
Intervals
Intervals provide an easy way for MPR script code to process data in intervals specified by the user when they run a Multi-Purpose Report. Interval types are Day, Week, Month. Enable Intervals by selecting the Use Intervals checkbox on the MPR script setup screen.
Excel
The Excel report object moves the report output and formatting from the MPR script into Excel. Since the report output is now Excel all of the functionality of Excel is now available to the report.

Unit Setup
The Unit Setup screen provides menus that let you add, delete, and edit Value Types, Base Units, and Units.
The FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix collection of base units includes many that are commonly uses in energy management applications. The default collection of units is based on the base units and includes a scaling factor which relates it to the base unit. For example, VA (volt-amperes) is a Base unit, and kVA (kilo-volt-amperes) is a Unit, with a scaling factor of 0.001.
Value types are used by the reporting and billing functions to aggregate values of a specific type in one or more meters or groups. The default collection of value types in FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software represents the most commonly used electrical energy management parameters. Value types can be set up as Consumption or Demand. Consumption value types are treated as accumulated values of energy or process output, for example, real energy net. Demand value types are treated as 'rate' values such as real power demand.
To add, edit or delete a Unit, Base Unit, or Value Type navigate to the System tab, Unit Setup screen. Select the appropriate tab and enter the values you desire in the menu fields.
Exercise care not to delete a unit, base unit, or value type that is associated with tags that exist in the database or unpredictable results may occur.

Standard reports can be run on demand, automatically on a configurable schedule , or event-driven in response to an alarm condition.
Consumption Reports
Reports consumption values (for example kWH and kVARh) for selected meters or groups for a specified date/time range. The consumption report aggregates data from each selected meter based on consumption value types, that is, value types with the Consumption flag selected. The report comprises one line item per meter with totals by group. The group and meter names are listed in the left hand column and a colum n i s added for each consumption value type that exists in the selected meters. If more than three consumption value types exist the line items may be truncated.
Demand Analysis Reports
Reports kW demand values for selected meters or groups for a specified date/time range. Reports ‘worst case scenario’ peak demand that would have occurred if each meter or group's peak demand had occurred in the same demand interval. The demand analysis report selects from each selected group or meter value types with the Demand flag selected. The report is organized in groups by value type, for example, kVA or kW.

Power Quality Reports
Runs a report that combines a graph and a grid display of power quality (sag and swell) events. The power quality report can only be used with Allen-Bradley PowerMonitor 3000 M6 and M8 models with their sag and swell setpoints configured. The Enable PQ events logging flag must be selected in the Device setup page. With this flag set, FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix periodically reads the power monitor event log and stores sag and swell events in the database. Each sag and swell record lists the time, duration and maximum deviation of the sag or swell. The power quality report displays the events logged during the selected report interval on a ITI/CBEMA chart and in a grid (tabular) listing.
Pareto Chart Report
Runs a report on consumption values of a selection of meters or groups. The Pareto chart displays each meter or group's consumption as a bar chart, with the bars arranged in order of decreasing consumption. A line chart indicating the cumulative consumption of the groups or meters, starting at zero and ending with 100%, is overlaid against the bar chart. The Pareto chart report help identify the areas in your facility that use the most energy.
