Step 1: Installing SENTRON powermanager
SENTRON powermanager is delivered on a CD-ROM equipped with an Autorun
program. To start the installation, simply insert the CD-ROM into the drive. If the
Autorun program does not start, run the "Start.exe" on the CD-ROM.

Notes: If you have copied the set-up files to a directory on your computer or network
please make sure there are no blanks in the directory name.

During the installation procedure you have to:
Select English or German as installation language
Accept the license conditions
Insert your user names
Insert the installation path
Select the installation type complete (as beginner)


Step 2: Installing ALM (Automation License Manager)
You find the Automation License Manager that is needed for licensing also on the
product CD-ROM. Please start the setup.exe file in the Automation License Manager
directory and follow the installation instructions.

Step 3: Transferring licenses
Using the ALM (start ->programs ->Siemens Automation) please transfer the licenses
from the USB stick to your computer. In case that you also bought the extension

2 Starting a project

Step 1: opening the Console
Please start Start ->Programs ->SENTRON ->SENTRON powermanager V2.0 ->
Console.
The Console and LogViewer are opening.

Step 2 (optional): Changing the archive settings
If you would like to archive more than 25 devices or a lot more measuring points of each
device than the default settings you need to change the size of the archives. Please see the
readme file for detailed instructions.

Step 3: Starting the Managers
Please select the project powermanager in the Console and click on the green light icon to
start it.


The Managers for running the project will be started sequentially and change their status
to 2 (green). You may follow the events in the LogViewer.
The login window is opening automatically.

Note: If you would like to create additional projects you have to open the project
administration with and copy the project powermanager_template.

Step 4: Logging in
Please use the standard user root (no password required) to log in.


The User Interface of the project is opening.

3 Engineering
In the user interface of the project you can copy your factory with using areas and
devices.

Step 1: Creating areas
To give your system a structure you can create areas.
Please select in the context menu of System1 the area administration.



With you can create new areas.
The new areas will appear in the tree view of your factory.

Step 2: Creating devices
To create devices please select create device and pick a device type in the context
menu of System1 or your area.


Name the device as related to the factory part where it is installed.
Depending on the device type and size of your project it might take a while to create a
device. After creating the device the engineering view is opening automatically.
The created devices will appear in the tree view of your project.

Step 3: Engineering of devices
Notes: The communication protocol of the PAC devices has to be changed to Modbus
TCP in order that SENTRON powermanager can communicate with the devices.

SENTRON PAC 3200 and PAC 4200 are able to communicate directly via Ethernet with
SENTRON powermanager. You only have to insert an IP address and press the safe
button.


5
Communication with the SENTRON PAC 3100 is only possible via an Ethernet gateway
that converts MODBUS RTU to MODBUS TCP. Please insert the IP address of your
gateway, select an access point and the unit ID of your device. You can choose between
the slots of a PAC 4200 and any gateway.



The communication via a gateway is also available for the SENTRON PAC 3200.

If you are missing specific units supported by your device you can change them under
units and factors in SENTRON powermanager.

Under the configuration tab you can choose which measuring points:
are being transferred from the device.
are being shown under the selected value tab (see step 4)
are being archived
are being controlled for alerts
If you would like to change the settings for archiving please see the instructions in the
readme file.

Under the Extended configuration tab you may change the names of measuring values.

Under the Alert configuration tab you may change the alert messages.

6
Step 4: Starting communication
The communication with the devices can be started via the context menu of System1, the
areas or the devices itself.


Communicating devices will be shown with a green check mark in the tree view. You are
also able to see the current measuring values of this device.


Choosing a filter will change the shown measuring values.
Under the selected values tab you will see the values you have marked in the device
engineering. As default you will see the measuring values of the group overview.

SENTRON PAC 4200 devices have an additional tab harmonics where you can see either
17 or 31 harmonics.
7


For the devices PAC 3100, PAC 3200 and PAC 4200 you may send commands for reset
maxima, minima and counters under the command tab.

Information saved in the device like serial number and firmware version are shown under
the device data tab

4 Reporting
4.1 Requirements
Before you are able to use the reporting the following actions need to be done:
1. Opening the reporting with the -button .
The reporting start screen is opening in EXCEL.

2. If you are getting an error message you need to execute a batch file. You find the file
reportReg.bat on the product CD-ROM in the directory reportRegEdit. This file
registers all the necessary dlls in the registry. Please keep in mind that you need
administrator rights to execute this batch file under WINDOWS VISTA.

3. Creating the archive structure


After entering the password erAdmin the archive structure will be created.
4.2 Creating the cost center report
The reporting tool will be described by using a cost center report.

Step 1: Creating a new template
Please click on the new template button and choose cost center report as the format.
9


Step 2: Choosing the report type
Please choose with the cursor buttons which report type is used for this template.



The colors for the minima and maxima marks can be changed by clicking on the colored
buttons.

10
With checking the Print preview after creation of report checkbox you will
automatically get the print preview after creating the report.

With checking the Log changes checkbox all changes made to the created protocols
will be archived and shown on an automatically created sheet.

After clicking OK you will see the report template in Excel.

Step 3: Changing the security settings
Please change the macro security level (tools->Macro->Security) to low.

Step 4: Creating tariff sets
To add tariff sets please open Report->configuration->tariff set.
After entering the password erAdmin you may add new tariff sets with a click on .

Template->Insert DP.



Please choose a counter value of the data point type and assign one cost center. In this
example we chose the counter value of a PAC 4200 device. It is important that the
wanted device is marked (here System1:PAC4200) and the units of the measuring point
and the cost center are the same. If you want to change the units you can create a virtual
counter in the project tree and use this one fort he cost center report template.

To insert further DPs you have to copy the column of the first DP and then go to the
menu Template->Modify DP while the cursor is in the first row of the next column.

Step 7: Saving the template
