* If these UPS devices are used, the energy must be calculated and logged in the VIP. Most UPSs measure both input and output power from which energy can be calculated in the VIP.

Power and Energy measurements

If multiple types of power and energy measurements exist in the system, then a look-up method is used to determine which one to use. The following tables list the supported types in order of look-up priority.

NOTE: You can edit this list of measurements in the PME database.

Power
Measurement Unit ION Name ID ION Labels
Block Demand Active Power Into The Load kW Active Power Sliding Window Demand Delivered 116 kW demand, kW sd del, kW tot SD
Block Demand Active Power kW Active Power Sliding Window Demand Delivered-Received 107 Demand Real Power – Sliding, Demand Real Power, Panel-Main Demand Real Power, kW sd del-rec, kW swd, kW tot swd, kW Dmd del-rec
Active Power Mean kW Active Power Mean 128 Real Power Total mean, Active Power Total mean, kW tot mean
Active Power kW Active Power 193 kW tot, kW total, Real Power Total, Panel- Main Real Power Total

NOTE: If you need to create a new device type for the UPS with the Device Type Editor, use the ION Labels listed in the table for the measurement definitions. This ensures that the correct measurements will be logged in the database.
