Device Tree

The ‘tree’ view on the left shows the plant device hierarchy. Users can click and drag devices to appropriately arrange them, and then “Save Tree” to commit the change.

Electrical Hierarchy - Represent devices under a shared transformer, meter, PV array, etc.

Communication Hierarchy - Show flow of communication between network switches, wireless antennas, and modems.

Location - Organize devices by physical location such as transformer pad.

Device Inspector

When a user selects a device from the tree, information for that device will be displayed on the right side of the page in the “Inspector”. The user may toggle between two panes, “Info and Settings” and “Status and Data”.

“Info and Settings” shows current configuration for that device, allows user to perform a test network ping, and qualified users may edit or delete a device from this menu.

“Status and Data” shows the most recent value for every tag monitored for that device.
