Impulse meter m³ to m³/h - Power Monitoring Expert

[MathieuSA]

 Hello,

1) m³ Meters (GAS, WATER)
I have pulse meters that increment by 1 with each pulse.
• When creating dashboards, the visualization shows an already accumulated value.

• Is it possible to display the consumption between two points in time (e.g., between N and N+1), in order to see the actual consumption over a given period?

2) Arithmetic Formulas
Is it possible to create calculations based on multiple measurements to obtain a new one?
I heard this could be done using Designer, but I’m unable to read my non-Schneider devices.

3) Manual Entry of Custom Data
Can we manually input a value (for example, a quantity in tonnes) directly within the PME interface?
• The goal would then be to use this data to display, in the dashboards, a consumption per tonne.

Hello @MathieuSA , 

I read on the Power Meter forum, that your device is a Socomec (😢) and you created a custom Device Type.

1> m³ Meters (GAS, WATER)

Data on your dashboard seems not correctly aggregated.

When using the Device Type Editor -> did you select a Measurement known from PME ?

If you select a Water or Gas volume in the Measurement Tree of the DTE, your dashboard's data will be correctly aggregated (delta from N+1 to N = cumulative data like kW/h).

If you created a custom measurement, there is a chance that metadata associated to your Measurement are incorrect (you can update your metadata but this require SQL knowledge):

2) Arithmetic Formulas

This is possible to implement formulas inside the PME Virtual ION Processor (through Designer application).

Please read the ION Reference Guide for more info.

3) Manual Entry of Custom Data

This is possible to do it:

1. Create a Ext Num object on VIP. This kind of object can be used to make calculation with ART Module for example.
2. Use this object on PME Vista or PME Graphics Editor to enter your value.
