How to read 2 phases or 3 phase BCPM systems in ION Enterprise.

How can we help you today?

The 2- and 3-phase measurements of BPCM are actually in the translator but which are "disable/hidden" by default.

To "enable/un-hide" it, you are required to edit the .ion file manually.

Right near the middle of the \system\translator\bcpm.ion file, there are two boolean registers defined that control whether the 2- and 3-phase measurements are shown for bcpm: by default they have a value element set to false.
<t:V>false</t:V>
You must change the value to true as shown below:

<t:ION t:SA="ModuleObj" t:H="153092352" t:P="146" t:N="Two Phase Visible" t:CI="ExternalBoolean_Module">
<t:OH>
<t:ION t:SA="BoolObj" t:H="153092353" t:P="153092352" t:N="Two Phase Visible" t:CI="Boolean_Register">
<t:V>true</t:V>
</t:ION>
</t:OH>
</t:ION>
<t:ION t:SA="ModuleObj" t:H="153092608" t:P="146" t:N="Three Phase Visible" t:CI="ExternalBoolean_Module">
<t:OH>
<t:ION t:SA="BoolObj" t:H="153092609" t:P="153092608" t:N="Three Phase Visible" t:CI="Boolean_Register">
<t:V>true</t:V>
</t:ION>
</t:OH>
</t:ION>

After making the change & saving the file, re-start "ION Site Server" service for it to take effect. No extra device licenses are needed.

Regarding the Vista diagrams, unfortunately 2nd and 3rd phase measurements are not included in the default diagrams. Customers that wish to see these must add them into the diagram manually.
