Abstract
A system and methods for creating a logical profile for physical devices in a system to interface with a monitoring system is disclosed. A profile identity is selected. A plurality of physical devices from the system is selected. The physical devices such as a meter or a circuit breaker include an output or an input. An input or output is classified for at least one of the plurality of selected physical devices as a tag. The plurality of selected physical devices are represented to the monitoring system by the profile identity and the at least one tag of the selected physical devices.
Claims17
A method of creating a logical profile for physical devices in a system to interface with a monitoring system, the method comprising:
- selecting a profile identity;
- selecting a plurality of physical devices from the system, the physical devices including an output or an input;
- defining an input or output for at least one of the plurality of selected physical devices as a tag;
- and
- wherein the plurality of selected physical devices are represented to the monitoring system by the profile identity and the at least one tag of the selected physical devices.
A monitoring system comprising:
- a plurality of physical devices having inputs or outputs;
- a master controller coupled to the plurality of physical devices;
- and
- a monitoring system on the master controller, the monitoring system interfacing with the plurality of devices via a logical profile representing a selected number of physical devices from the plurality of physical devices, the logical profile including at least one tag defining an input or output for one of the selected physical devices.
