FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix Software Meter and Tag Setup
Introduction
In this chapter, you will create meters and assign meter tags for your FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software project.
• A meter is a logical source of data to FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software. It is the unit used for licensing FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix Manager software. Meters are associated with device data sources.
• A meter tag is the basic unit of data collection. Tags assigned to device meters are logged automatically at a selected
log rate.
Refer to the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix tab in your Energy Data Worksheet for meter information in your project including
meter name, meter type, and meter tag names.
Meter configuration groups are based on the Efficient Industries Plant 1
example on page 108.
