E50F2A, E50F5A Installation Guide
Registration Instructions
The plugin installer registered the plugin globally, but as a system level plugin, it must be registered separately for each network
that requires it. Registration can be accomplished either while opening a network or after a network is opened. Instructions here
are for the latter method.
1. Open the LonMaker network where the plugin is to be registered.
2. Select the LonMaker menu (on the toolbar in Visio 2003; under the Add-ins toolbar in Visio 2010). From the drop-down list,
select “Plugins,” and then “Register Plugins…”
3. Select the “Veris E50 Device Plug-in” entry from the plugin list and press the “Register” button.
4. Press the “Okay” button.
Device Creation Instructions
Creating an E50 device in LonMaker is no different than creating any other device.
1. Drag a “Device” from the LonMaker Basic Shapes stencil or other stencil to the drawing. This opens the new device wizard.
2. Click the “Commission device” checkbox unless the network is being created OffNet (“Engineered” mode), or if there is any
other reason to delay commissioning.
3. From the Device Template section, choose the “VerisE50” template from the drop-down list (the plugin added the template to
the network when registering).
4. Finish customizing using the wizard prompts and press “Finish”.
5. If commissioning was selected, press the service pin on the meter.
Device Configuration Instructions
The plugin has two tabs useful for configuring the device. The “Meter Setup” tab includes details related to the installation (CT
size, system type, system voltage, etc.), and other settings related to the demand interval and alarm configuration. The second
tab for configuration of the device is the “Propagation Settings” tab, which includes configuration properties that control
propagation (heartbeat, throttle, etc.). Settings can be written to both the database and the device if the device is online (or soft
offline), commissioned, and the LonMaker mode is OnNet. Otherwise the settings can only be written to the database. There is
some behavior to be noted if changes are made while the device is soft offline. Please read the “Important Information When
Configuring While Soft Offline” section below.
1. Right click on the E50 device and select “configure” from the context menu. This brings up the “Meter Setup” tab of the plugin.
2. To get the current setting from the meter or the database, press the “GET PRESENT SETTINGS” button. If the configuration
properties on the device do not match the database, a prompt appears to choose which values to load.
3. Make the necessary changes to the Installation Details and Other Settings. Note that the Demand Subinterval Length is also the
logging interval for E50F5 meters, so it can be configured at this point (see the “Configuring the Data Log” section below for a
description of the meter’s data logging capabilities).
4. Press “APPLY SETTINGS.” If the device is online (or soft offline), commissioned, and the LonMaker mode is OnNet, the
configuration property settings are applied to both the network database and the device. If, however, the above conditions
are not met, the configuration property settings are only written to the database. A dialog box appears when the write is
finished, stating where the values were written to. If values were not written to the device (database only), the device must be
resynchronized to the database at a later time. See the “Configuration Property Resynchronization” section below.
5. Switch to the “Propagation Settings” tab of the plugin (tab control is at the top of the plugin).
6. To get the current setting from the meter or the database, press the “GET PRESENT SETTINGS” button. If the configuration
properties on the device do not match the database, a prompt will appear to choose which values to load.
