Getting Started with the Controller

The Energy Wizard Controller software consists of 4 programs:

1. Energy Wizard Controller - This is the main run time program that makes all of the load shedding decisions.
2. Energy Wizard Controller Setup - Setup program for the Controller.
3. Energy Wizard Controller Network Editor - Enables Production Managers in areas remote from the main computer to have control over their own loads.
4. Energy Wizard Controller Target Editor - Set the site Maximum Demand target on a repeating 7 day per period basis.

If you have just installed the Energy Wizard and wish to set it up for the first time, take the following steps:

• First setup the Energy Wizard Monitor
• Load the Controller Setup program
• Complete the Controller General setup.
• Complete each Load Data setup.
• Exit the Controller Setup program.
• Add the Controller to the MicroScan2000 Auto Start/Stop facility as detailed below.

Auto Start/Stop with MicroScan2000
Start the MicroScan Setup Manager and click on the "Admin Tools" button.

From the "Administration Tools" form click on the button "Accessory Files". Enter the data into the "Accessory Files" form as detailed below:

Once all of the entries have been made into the "Accessory File" click on the "OK" button, this will take you back to the "Administration Tools" form. Click on the "Close" button to get back to the MicroScan Setup Manager main form.

From the MicroScan Setup Manager main form click on the "System Setup" button. The "System Settings" form will appear similar to the one below:

Under the "Accessories" heading make sure that both the Energy Wizard Monitor and Controller programs are ticked.
Click on the "OK" button to confirm.

Now both the Energy Wizard Monitor and Controller programs will start and stop with the Autoloader.
