Profiling of composite physical devices for monitoring/control systems

摘要

A system and methods for creating a logical profile for physical devices in a system to interface with a monitoring system is disclosed. A profile identity is selected. A plurality of physical devices from the system is selected. The physical devices such as a meter or a circuit breaker include an output or an input. An input or output is classified for at least one of the plurality of selected physical devices as a tag. The plurality of selected physical devices are represented to the monitoring system by the profile identity and the at least one tag of the selected physical devices.
