Click the Scan button to have the software locate available devices on the system.

All devices located in the scan will appear in the box adjacent to the Scan button. Click on the device you wish to congure.

Each main board with four ribbon cable connectio ns uses two Modbus addresses.

Below the Scan window is a row of buttons: Congure Device, Global Resets, Alarm Status, and Data Monitoring.

When each button is selected, a unique row of tabs appears below. The information in these tabs must be congured to the system requirements. Every setting has a default value programmed in. The next sections describe the settings found within each tab.

COMMISSIONING GUIDE

These settings apply to current demand (registers 269-272, 1462 - 1503) and power demand (registers 277, 1378-1419).

Congure the number of sub intervals. The default is 1, but it can be set for 1-6 sub-interval windows.

Congure sub-interval length (register 72). The default is 900 sec (15 minutes), but it can be set from 10 – 32767 (in seconds). For Sync to Comms, set to 0. Sync to Comms mode will start demand calculations based on writes to Modbus register 295 with a value of 26012 (decimal).

Calculate Demand by continuously summing the subinterval averages and dividing by the number of subintervals. The subinterval average is recalculated every second from the RMS values for current and power. The Demand register will update at the end of each subinterval. See the example below. For Block mode, set the number of subintervals to 1 (Reg 71).

3. Aux CT Size.

Set the CT size for each channel. Enter the value for each channel separately, or enter one value and click Set All Channels. Auxiliary #1 (register 115) to Auxiliary #4 (register 118) dene the auxiliary or “mains” CT size (typically 200 A). Type the appropriate numeric value for each auxiliary CT installed in the panel. CT size must be 1-32,767. Set this value for each panel on the E3x.
