GE PMCS 6.15 Benutzerhandbuch

The GE EPM 7700, EPM 7600 and EPM 7500 devices add new level of power 
management capabilities to PMCS. These EPM devices also require some 
special configuration which is not necessary for other PMCS-compatible 
devices. This section describes the additional requirements and configuration 
steps necessary to use the EPM 7700, EPM 7600 and EPM 7500 in conjunction 
with PMCS. 

NOTE: If you are not using the EPM 7700, EPM 7600 or EPM 7500 meters in 
your PMCS network, it is not necessary to read this section of the manual. 

Although the EPM 7700, EPM 7600 and EPM 7500 meters are compatible with 
PMCS and its client applications (Waveform Capture, custom wizards, etc.), 
and EPM 7700, EPM 7600 and EPM 7500 meters may co-exist on the same 
Ethernet as other PMCS network segments, the EPM 7700, EPM 7600 and EPM 
7500 use a slightly different metaphor than a straight PMCS network. An EPM 
device power-monitoring network is comprised of a number of nodes that are 
connected to the PMCS workstation through Ethernet links.  Nodes in the 
power-monitoring network are IEDs such as the EPM 7700 meter (power 
meters are also referred to ‘meters’ or ‘devices’).  IEDs may be distributed 
across one or more networks as required to service the particular application.
