A Device Has Measuring Components
UOM: kWh
TOU: Peak
42293921
This device has two measuring components (MCs);

the first measures the number of kWh used during
peak periods; the other measures the number of kWh
used during off-peak periods
Terminology: The terms register and channel
are synonyms for measuring component (MC)
kWh Peak Hours

UOM: kWh
TOU: Off-peak
kWh Off-peak Hours

General Electric
Model: 12-A
3-2
Terminology: while most devices are meters, an

implementation sets up devices for every asset
that measures or monitors resource usage. For
example, a device could be set up to record
average daily temperature (if temperature plays
a part in usage calculations).
Terminology: both of the adjacent MCs
measure the same unit of measure (kWh);
however each MC measures consumption in a
different time-of-use period (peak and off-peak).
All MCs must reference a UOM; TOU is optional.
Device versus MC Attributes

A device has attributes that are the same
regardless of the number of MCs. For
example:
Manufacturer and model

Serial number
Badge number
For smart meters, the head-end system
42293921
kWh Peak Hours
A MC has attributes that may differ for

each MC on a device, for example:
The type of MC
Note, the MC's MC type defines:
Channel ID
Channel multiplier
3-3
Its UOM / TOU / SQI

Whether it is scalar or interval
If interval, its SPI
A value other than 1 means the

system will multiply the measured
consumption by this value to derive
usage

UOM: kWh
SQI: Generated
kWh Generated
UOM: kWh
SQI: Consumed
kWh Consumed
General Electric
Model: 12-A
3-4
In addition to UOM and TOU,

there is a 3rd component that is
used to identify what a MC
measures service quantity
identifier (SQI)
An SQI is only used when
multiple MCs measure the same
thing, but in different ways
For example, a meter that

measures both generation
and consumption
Like TOU, SQI is optional
The only required

component is UOM
Scalar versus Interval MCs

The prior slides illustrated a device with 2
scalar measuring components:
Scalar MCs produce a single
measurement over a period of time
Many scalar MCs are read manually,
resulting in measurements at
unpredictable intervals (e.g., "once-amonth" is not a predictable interval as
the number of seconds between
reads will vary)
Interval MCs are measured at predictable
intervals (e.g., every 15 minutes)
A device may have any combination of
interval and/or scalar measuring
components
3-5
The above is an example of a device

with an interval MC
Terminology: The acronym SPI
(seconds per interval) is used to
define the duration of the intervals
between a MC's measurements
Practice 3-1
(10 Minutes)
In this practice, you will search for and view a device with multiple
measuring components using the 360 Degree Search and View.

Terminology: A device configuration records how a device's MCs look at an instant in time. A new
device configuration is required whenever a device's MC are reconfigured. The above example
would require 2 device configurations: one dated 31-Dec-2009, the other dated 1-Jun-2010.

In this practice, you will create a new device, device configuration,
and measuring components by duplicating an existing device. You
will be exposed to a variety of concepts:
Dynamic features of 360 View
Different ways to find devices
How to use context menus and the current context zone to
easily navigate
How to use the device replicator

that affect the information stored on MCs. A later chapter

The scalar MC is used to verify the interval measurements

Admin versus Master Data
Master Data versus Admin Data

Master data is non-transactional data that defines a business entity
Examples include data about devices, device configurations, MCs

Admin data (or reference data or control data) defines the types of master
data that may exist
Most master data objects have a corresponding admin object
Master data is accessed from the Main Menu
Admin data is accessed from the Admin Menu

An MC exists for every channel, register,
that is of interest. MC is master data.
Every MC must reference an MC

type; MC type is admin data.
The MC type (admin data) defines values that are true for all master data
objects that reference it. For example, notice how the MC Type defines the
Service Type, the SPI (Interval Size), whether its Consumptive or
Subtractive (and much more)
3 - 18
Practice 3-3
(30 Minutes)
In this practice, you will familiarize yourself with several of the
admin objects used by devices and measuring components.
3 - 19
Implementations Set Up Admin Data
Setting Up Admin Data

When MDM is installed, no instances exist in most of the admin
objects as each customer has different business rules, different
service types, different UOMs,
Each implementation must set up the admin objects that
correspond with the respective business
The demo environment has been set up to support a
multi-utility system (electric, gas, water). If an
implementation is electric-only, it would only set up
electric-oriented UOMs.
3 - 21
Practice 3-4
(30 Minutes)
In this practice, you will create the suite of admin data
necessary to create devices for a simple kWh meter with a
single channel that measures consumption in hourly intervals.
You will then add a new device, device configuration, and
measuring component using your new admin data.
