Set up a Roll-up Server Meter
Roll-up server functionality in FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix software supports transfer of
meter data from a local FactoryTalk EnergyMetrix (or RSEnergyMetrix) server database
to another. Typically a roll-up server is used in a corporate setting to consolidate and
summarize local plant energy information.
Follow these steps to create a roll-up server Meter:
1. Select the Meters tab in the navigation tree. Select a group or domain for the meter
location.
2. Select the Meters tab in the detail pane and click the Add a new meter link.
If you plan to use roll-up server meters, please install Internet Explorer
WebControls 1.0 on the server.
If custom value types have been added to a local FactoryTalk
EnergyMetrix server, identical value types must exist in the roll-
up server to prevent meter tags and their data in the roll-up
server from being assigned incorrect value types. Identical value
types have the same Value Type ID, description, units, demand
and consumption flag settings.
