3rd Party Modbus Meters

[Chris_McVey]

Hi, 

Trying to add a meter (Rayleigh Instruments  RI-D460) to PME system but this type of meter does not appear in drop down selections, can this still be added or would I need to change meters for PME compatible?

Thanks

Chris

Hello @Chris_McVey ,

PME has a program called Device Type Editor (and device type installer). The editor is where you can build what the modbus mapping for the device would be. Modbus register XXX is for measurement YYYY, has ZZZ format, AAA/BBB/CCC scaling/ multiplier /offset. 

This would create a .ion and .xml file. Once the files are created, you can use the Device Type Insatller to add the device driver to PME so device type can be selected in Mangement console. Can refer to Device type Editor (DTE) in PME's system guide.

Regards,

Charles

Hi,

I have created a Modbus device using custom ION Handlers specifically to read the kWh parameter from multiple power meters. All parameters are communicating successfully with PME; however, the aggregated values (daily, weekly, and monthly) appear to be incorrect.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Hello @ameezan ,

Inside PME, data has information on how the data should get processed in different areas such as dashboards or reports. This meta data is likely what you need to edit to get aggregated data to display as desired. I suggest reaching out to your local technical support to get instructions on how to edit the metadata.
