Page 4: What The Configurator Is
PowerSoft 1.1 W HAT THE CONFIGURATOR IS The configurator is a software, independent of PowerSoft, whose purpose is simplifying and automating the configuration process which allows PowerSoft to fit the specific system to be interfaced and monitored. Its use is limited to the configuration process only. To carry out the automatic configuration procedure, both the communication networks and the instrumentation are to be correctly installed and set by the user. -
Page 5: The Configurator Functions
PowerSoft 1.2 T HE CONFIGURATOR FUNCTIONS PowerSoft configurator is a tool which allows to configure the system, from the instrument networks to the synoptic generation. Particularly, the configurator allows to: § automatically locate installed communication network/s; § search for the instrument/s connected to the located network/s;... -
Page 6: Structure
PowerSoft 1.3 S TRUCTURE The configurator is divided in 4 different sections named System, Communication ports, Meters and Synoptic pages. Opening the software, the default section is System. Carrying out the proper operations in each section, the software generates all the configuration files required to adapt PowerSoft to the system to be monitored. - Page 7 PowerSoft From this section, the backup archive can be managed. This archive allows § store a backup copy of the current configuration (network/s, meter/s and synoptic/s configuration); § properly manage temporary situations during which the system works in a different configuration. Through the proper button, the Backup manager access can be gained.

Page 8: Communication Ports
PowerSoft 1.3.2 OMMUNICATION PORTS This section is dedicated to the configuration of the communication network/s which link/s PowerSoft and the instruments. The connected networks can be linked to the PC via serial ports (RS232, real or virtual) or via Ethernet connection (TCP/IP). Two different areas in this section manage the two different network typology. - Page 9 PowerSoft 1.3.2.1 THERNET COMMUNICATION NETWORKS The communication networks using the TCP/IP protocol require the configuration of an IP address and of the relevant port. The IP address can be any address accessible from the PC, while the port is an integer between 1 and 5000.

PowerSoft 1.3.3 ETERS This section lists all the instruments connected to the system, grouping them together according to the communication line they belong to. It allows to set all the parameters of all the instruments, in order to correctly represent the real system in the software. Even after an automatic configuration, the operator can add or delete an instrument using the proper buttons. - Page 11 PowerSoft free text box, others allow a choice among a limited options range through a drop-down menu, others allow a choice between two alternatives (enable/disable). The parameters to be set are: § Name: it is the instrument name which allows an easy and intuitive identification of its function in the system (e.g., Offices, factory lighting, Department B, etc.) §...
- Page 12 PowerSoft § Temperature measurement: enables or disables the temperature measurement which can be associated to the selected instrument. To have it, a proper instrument (UDM35, UDM40 or USC-DIN) is to be connected to the same network of the selected instrument with a proper Modbus address.
- Page 13 PowerSoft § Recording interval [min]: it is the period of time after which the variables set in the previous window are stored in the software database. The recording occurs at the minutes that are integer multiple of the recording time. For example if it is 10 minutes, the recordings occur at minutes 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.
- Page 14 PowerSoft output activation can be carried out manually or follow a setpoint alarm. The digital output is to be set as “REM” (remote control) in the instrument. § Enable gas: it enables the reading of the gas meter (only in the instruments supplied with this function).

PowerSoft Finally the “Meters reset” and the “Reset min max) buttons allow to reset respectively the Energy and utility meters and the minimum/maximum values stored in the instrument memory. 1.3.4 YNOPTIC This section allows to customise the PowerSoft synoptic, in order to better adapt them to the system typology and to the operator’s needs. - Page 16 PowerSoft § Ellipse, Line, Rectangle, Triangle, Text: these are standard graphic objects § Image: any image (.bmp) can be added in the synoptic, e.g., the company logo. § Instrument: this button allows to open the detail pages of the linked instrument;...
- Page 17 PowerSoft Every object defined as a button is an object whose area allows, when left- clicked, to browse the system, displaying a new page or the detail pages of a particular instrument. 1.3.4.3 YNOPTIC MODIFICATION 1.3.4.3.1 Modifying of a single object Selecting any object in the edit area, a red edge appears around it.

The user can define their own groups of objects box (see the “Advanced” PowerSoft manual for the details). If more groups are present, it is possible to choose the desired one using the “Style” selection box in the top middle side of the edit area.
- Page 19 PowerSoft 1.3.4.4 UTOMATIC GENERATION The synoptic pages can be automatically created by the configurator, pressing the “Regenerate” button; after a confirmation request, the system asks for what communication lines the associated synoptics are to be regenerated and if the index page (“Main” page, including the links to the communication line pages) is required.
