Known Issues
1. RT Device configuration dialog box for the Powermonitor 3000 may need to be closed
and re-opened following an initial upload to enable all the model-related features in
the dialog box.
2. FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix will not detect communication loss to wireless
PowerMonitor 250 devices. In case of communication loss, energy and demand data
will not be logged, and voltage and current data will remain fixed.
3. You must manually add the IP address of each Ethernet device to the RSLinx Classic
Ethernet Devices driver on the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix server.
4. When RSLinx Classic runs as a Windows service on Windows 2008 Server, its user
interface is not available. The RSLinx Classic user interface is available only when
RSLinx Classic runs as an application.
5. After configuring EtherNet/IP devices in RSLinx, it may be necessary to open RSWho
and then drill down to and select each device, including Logix processor modules, to
enable FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix to connect to the devices.
6. When setting up an new OPC meter, the first time the OPC Browser is used it may
return an error. To work around this, Save the meter with a blank access path, Edit and
click OPC Browser again.
