10. Confirm the meter was created in the correct
group.
11. Repeat steps 1…10 to create other energy
meters for the L2x analog or digital inputs.
If the meter type you want to use is not in the
standard list of meter types, you can create
custom meters. For this example, you will have
to create custom meter types for the Fuel Oil
and Propane meters. Refer to
Appendix A for
details.
For the Efficient Industries Plant 1 example, create the Fuel Oil, Propane, and Steam Flow Meters. Enter the data
shown in the table for each meter. Make sure to create the meter under the correct parent group.
Verify Units and Value Types
To create tags for meters, the appropriate base units and value types that will be used by the tags must be available.
FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software provides the most common value types and units.
Refer to Appendix B for details on how to check if the value types and base units you need are in the FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix software default list, and how to create them if necessary.
For the Efficient Industries Plant 1 example, the natural gas, fuel oil, propane, and steam meters require units and value
types not in the FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software default list. The table shows the base units, units, and value types
required.
