PME/EBO Integration

The engineering time required for the integration varies for different architectures. Typically, it is faster to deploy Architecture 2 than Architecture 1 for the following reasons:

• When the power devices are supported by PME, it is faster to configure the devices in Architecture 2 than in Architecture 1, even when there are SmartWidgets available in Building Operation. When no SmartWidgets are available, the time for creating the Modbus map in Building Operation can be considerable.
• Configuring the ETL to setup the historical data transfer from Building Operation to PME, which is required for Architecture 1, can add considerable deployment time.

NOTE: Use PME EWS client instead of ETL to reduce the time taken to deploy Architecture 1 by 24.4 minutes in average.
