Configuration¶

Configuration is where engineers define which machines act as energy incomers and how the facility's energy is divided into utilization sections. This setup only needs to be done once (or updated when your electrical infrastructure changes).

Incomers Setup¶

An incomer is a machine in the Digital Twin that represents an energy source feeding your facility. The Incomers Setup page has two distinct sections:

1. Utility Contracts — the facility-level contracted demand limit for each energy source type, issued by your utility or DG provider. This is the number that determines penalty charges.
2. Configured Incomers — the individual machines registered as incomers, with optional internal capacity allocations per meter.

Utility Contracts (Facility-Level Sanctioned MD)¶

This table shows one row per source type (EB, Solar, Wind, DG). Click the pencil icon on any row to set the Sanctioned Maximum Demand for that type.

The sanctioned MD entered here applies to the total combined demand from all incomers of that type. For example, if your facility has two EB meters and the utility has granted a combined contract of 500 kW, you enter 500 here — not per meter.

Once a value is set, the Load & Demand Management page and the dashboard will show utilization gauges for that type — how close the aggregate demand from all those incomers is to the contracted limit.

Adding an incomer¶

1. Navigate to EMS → Configuration → Incomers Setup.
2. Click Add Incomer.

3. The dialog shows a machine picker with two modes — use the toggle to switch between them:

   WorkspaceProcess

   Browse by workspace, then select the machine from that workspace. This is the default mode and is suited to facilities where machines are organised by physical location.

   Browse by manufacturing process, then select the machine assigned to that process. Use this if your machines are organised by process rather than location.

4. Select the Incomer Type that matches the energy source:

   Type	Meaning
   EB	Utility grid supply (Electricity Board)
   SOLAR	Solar photovoltaic installation
   WIND	Wind turbine
   DG	Diesel generator

5. Optionally enter a Rating (for example, 500 kVA) to record the incomer's rated capacity for reference.

6. Optionally enter an Allocated Capacity — an internal capacity allocation for this specific meter. This is separate from the facility-level utility contract configured in the Utility Contracts table above. Use it only when you want to track individual meter utilization independently (for example, a transformer with its own de-rated capacity limit).
7. Click Add.

The incomer immediately appears in the table and will be included in all EMS analytics.

Editing an incomer¶

Click the pencil (edit) icon on the incomer's row to update the Rating or Allocated Capacity for that incomer. The machine and incomer type cannot be changed after creation — to change these, remove the incomer and add it again.

The Allocated Capacity column shows the configured internal allocation per meter (or Not set if none has been entered).

Removing an incomer¶

Click the delete icon (bin) on the incomer's row. This removes the incomer from EMS analytics but does not affect the machine itself in the Digital Twin.

Sections Setup¶

A utilization section is a logical grouping of machines whose combined energy consumption is tracked together — for example, a production hall, a compressor room, or an HVAC system.

Adding a section¶

1. Navigate to EMS → Configuration → Sections Setup.
2. Click Add Section.
3. Enter a Section Name (required) and an optional Description.
4. Click Create.

Editing a section¶

Click the pencil icon on a section row to update its name or description.

Deleting a section¶

Click the delete icon (bin) on a section row. This removes the section and all its machine mappings. The machines themselves are not affected.

Adding machines to a section¶

1. Click a section row to expand it. The machines currently in the section are listed.
2. Click Add Machine.
3. Use the machine picker (Workspace or Process mode) to select a machine.

4. Set the Share — a number between 0 and 1 representing the proportion of this machine's energy that counts toward this section.

   Examples: - 1 — 100% of the machine's consumption is attributed to this section (most common). - 0.5 — 50% of the machine's consumption is attributed to this section (use when a machine serves two sections equally). - 0.3 — 30% attributed here; the remainder would be assigned to other sections or left unallocated.

5. Click Add.

Removing a machine from a section¶

In the expanded section view, click the delete icon next to the machine. This removes the mapping but does not affect the machine itself.

Data Loggers Setup¶

The Data Loggers Setup page controls which manually-entered data loggers are accessible from the EMS sidebar.

Data loggers let plant operators enter energy readings by hand — for example, a sub-meter that must be read physically, or a generator fuel log. They are created in the Digital Twin application and then selectively surfaced in EMS using this page.

Adding a data logger to EMS¶

1. Navigate to EMS → Configuration → Data Loggers Setup.
2. The list shows all data loggers created in your organisation.
3. Click Add next to any logger you want to appear in EMS.

An In EMS badge appears on the row and the logger is immediately visible under EMS → Data Loggers.

Removing a data logger from EMS¶

Click Remove on any row that has the In EMS badge. The logger is removed from the EMS sidebar but its recorded data is not deleted.

Settings¶

The Settings page controls organisation-wide EMS behaviour that affects all users.

Maximum Demand Unit¶

Click the tile for the appropriate unit. The change takes effect immediately and updates all peak demand displays across the EMS — the trend charts, the demand table, the dashboard KPI card, and the live peak demand tiles.

Tariff & Cost¶

Tariff schedules are configured in the main Enture Platform → Tariff module, not inside EMS. Once a tariff is assigned to an EB or DG machine in the platform, EMS reads the resulting cost data automatically.

Cost figures appear on the EMS dashboard (Month-to-Date Cost, Projected Month Cost) and on the Cost & Forecast page. No additional setup is needed inside EMS — if no tariff has been assigned, those cards will show "No tariff configured".

Frequently asked questions¶

Can the same machine appear in more than one section?
Yes. A machine can be mapped to multiple sections with different share values. The shares do not need to add up to 1 — unallocated consumption is simply not reflected in any section total.

Can a machine be both an incomer and in a utilization section?
Yes, though it is unusual. An incomer machine represents energy entering the facility, while section machines represent where that energy is consumed. They serve different purposes in the EMS and can coexist.

I can't see the Configuration menu.
The Configuration section is only visible to users with engineer access. Contact your platform administrator.
