2)     Launch BEMS Configuration

 

3)  Create a BEMS Project

 

4)  Add Groups.

 

5)     Add Items.  These are the names of Tags previously built in a WebAccess HMI & SCADA project and Scada node.

 

6)     Optionally, add Management Values

 

7)     Optionally, define Rates to determine costs of power, etc

 

8)     Optionally, define Conversion Coefficients

 

9)     Optionally, add Users

 

10) Download the BEMS Project to the SCADA node.
