Create custom device types

A custom device type is any device type that is not included in the standard Power Operation set of devices. Typically, this is a third-party device type that communicates through a protocol such as IEC 61850 or DNP3. Each protocol requires a slightly different process.

The help file describes the process for each of these protocols:

• IEC 61850
• Modbus third party
• DNP3
• Composite device type

To create a new custom device type:

1. Open the Profile Editor.
2. In the Define Device Type Tags pane, click Add / Edit.
3. In Add/Edit Device Type, complete the information for the device, following instructions in the help file for the protocol the device uses.
