A network based system (102) for custom configuring, viewing, simulating, operating and ordering a power management control system (PMCS) is described. The system allows the user to access, via the Internet, an e-system builder which not only permits online configuration (450) and ordering (302) of a power management control system, but also allows the user to simulate the real time operation of a variety of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) which make up the PMCS. Graphical representations of and links to the IEDs enable the user to monitor, operate and simulate a PMCS before the actual purchase of one. Quotation (432) of a complete system with installation and training provides the user with the ability to see the total package and total purchase price before committing an order. |
