How do I bring the Com'X Analog Inputs into Power Monitoring Expert (PME)?
Issue
The Com'X is not a native device in PME.

Product Line
Power Monitoring Expert 7.x
Power Monitoring Expert 8.x
EBX200, Com'X200
EGX510, Com'X510

Environment
Power Monitoring Expert Modbus Device Importer

Resolution
To bring the device into PME:
  1. Install the Com’X via the Instruction Manual, wiring the Analog Inputs and Ethernet connection.
  2. Connect to the Com'X via its webpage and add the Analog Input via the Com'X User Guide.
    1. Select the Custom Library tab > + Create.
  1. Customize the model and select Create.
  1. Configure the properties of the model (i.e. scaling and units) and Save changes.
  1. Add the device in Device Settings.
    1. For the appropriate Analog Input, select 'Create a new device' for the Device dropdown menu.
  1. Select the previously created Device Type in the Device Type dropdown menu.
  2. Configure the device and select Create.
The data is now available within the Com'X webpage under the Measurements Table tab. The measurement will be associated with the Commodity specified in step 2.5.
  1. If using a Com'X 510 with firmware v3.0.6 or Com'X 200/210 with firmware v2.2.1, Enable Modbus TCP/IP on Ethernet 1; otherwise, continue onto Step 4.
    1. ​Select the Settings tab.
    2. Under Security > Firewall Management, switch the Enable Modbus TCP/IP on Ethernet 1 to ON
  1. Verify that Ethernet 1 is the Ethernet port being used to communicate to the PME server.
  1. In PME, create a device type using the Modbus Device Importer
    1. Open Management Console.
    2. Select Tools > System > Modbus Device Importer.
  1. Select Edit > Advanced Properties and rename the Device Type and check the "Make available as a direct Ethernet device in Management Console" box. Click OK.
