Creating a new standard project

The following explains how to create a new project that includes the demand monitoring function by using the wizard function of the standard framework.

 

For detailed instructions on creating a standard project using the wizard, please refer to "Creating a Standard Project".

 

 

 

 

■ Work procedure

 

1.From the start page, select "Create a new project"

 

From the Panel Editor start page, click "Create New Project."

 

 

 

2.Select the standard framework and open "Create"

3.Setting the display style of the project's basic information and display frame

 

Follow the on-screen instructions to set basic project information (project name, project folder, etc.).

 

 

4.In the Select standard features to include in your project section, select the features you want.

 

You can select the features you want to include in your project from the selection screen below.

 

 

You can include features in your project by checking the features you want to include in your project.

 

 

In this example, check "Demand Monitoring," "Demand History," and "Demand Report," then click the Finish button.

■ Demand function actions

 

The standard project generated by the above procedure has the following actions predefined:

 

 

 

 

Furthermore, the configuration of the demand action itself is extremely simple; you just need to specify a "demand folder" to store the demand setting information.

Please prepare a dedicated demand folder for each demand action and do not mix it with other files.

■Events related to the demand function (Demand folder)

 

Under Events, events related to demand monitoring are registered together in the "Demand" folder.

 

 

 

First, three events are registered in the Demand folder: "DEMANDTIMER", "RESET00", and "RESET30".

 

 

 

DEMANDTIMER is a Scheduled event set to occur at 0 seconds every minute.

 

 

The execution action of this event is set to call each demand action.

 

 

This Scheduled event is the update cycle of the demand graph. Therefore, by default, the update cycle is 1 minute, at 0 seconds per minute.

 

In addition, the event setting that serves as the update cycle for the demand action must be set to an appropriate cycle depending on how often the value of the counter tag of the measurement value to be monitored is updated.

For details about the update cycle, please refer to "About the update cycle of the demand graph".

 

 

And RESET00 and RESET30 are Scheduled event that occur at 0 minutes past the hour and 30 minutes past the hour. The execution action of this Scheduled event is set as follows:

 

 

The demand cycle is reset by passing the "RESET" parameter to the demand action.

For details on the reset process, please refer to "About the demand cycle reset process".

 

Also, after a reset, the summary action "DemandSummary" is set to be called. This summary action logs and aggregates the demand history.

 

 

 

■Events related to the demand function (DemandSummary folder)

 

The following Scheduled event is registered in the "DemandSummary" folder.

These Scheduled event implement the automatic printing of demand reports and the automatic CSV output function.

 

 

 

 

For details about the parameters for automatic printing and automatic CSV saving registered in the above events, see "Summary Action" in the Action Reference and "Demand Report" in the Library Reference.
