Adding a TCP device

NOTE: These instructions assume that you have two I/O Servers, and that you will be renaming ports.

To add a TCP device to a project:

  1. In Power Operation Studio: Click Projects > Home and verify that the project to which you want to add the devices is active.
  2. Click Topology > I/O Devices > I/O Device Manager.

    3. The I/O Device Manager displays.

  3. Click Manage a Single Device.

    4. The I/O Device Manager Wizard displays.

  4. Click Create an I/O Device in the project and then click Next.
  5. At the Choose profile screen, select the first device profile that you want to use to add a device to the project. Click Next.

    NOTE: To ensure that the Alarm Log displays properly with the PM5000 series devices, use the correct PM5000S or PM5000S1 driver for devices.

    Use the PM5000S driver (for the most recent Alarm Log implementation) with:

    • PM51XX
    • PM53XX
    • PM55XX
    • PM5350PB
    • PM5350IB with FW version 3.00 and higher

    Use the PM5000S1 driver (for previous Alarm Log implementation) with:

    • PM5350 with FW prior to version 3.00
  6. At the Enter instance information screen, type a descriptive profile name, for example: CM4Bay1Circuit1 (no spaces or punctuation; to allow space in Power Operation, the preferred limit is 16 characters). The Comment field is stored in the equipment.dbf file. Click Next.
  7. At the Select I/O servers screen, choose the primary and standby servers. You can only set the standby server if you click Supports Redundancy. Click Next.
  8. If you choose to add an optional sub-profile: At the Configure Sub-Profile Communications Method screen, choose the communications method used for the first sub-profile in this project. Click Next.
  9. At the Communications Settings screen, type the gateway address and station address for each of the servers. If you click Same as Primary for standby, you will use the same addresses for the primary and standby. Click Next.
  10. At the Port Settings screen, you can rename each of the ports. A new port will be generated for each new name. Click Next.
  11. At the Ready to perform action screen, click Next.

    After the devices are added, a screen displays telling you that the project was updated successfully.

    • To view a detailed list of all the devices and all operations performed in the project, click View audit log. The list displays after the device is added.
    • To continue adding or removing devices, click Next. Repeat steps 3 through 10.

  12. When you have finished adding devices, uncheck Add/remove more equipment, then click Finish.

    If you clicked View audit, the list displays.

    If you did not click Add/remove, the I/O Device Manager closes. If you clicked Add/remove, the Welcome screen displays again.

  13. Compile the project. Correct any compile errors and then compile the project again.
  14. Click Run to view the runtime environment.
