Rockwell Automation Energy Management Accelerator Toolkit Quick Start - Manual (Page 13)

Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS016C-EN-P - October 2014 13
Preface
About This Publication
This quick start is designed to provide a framework for developing an energy management monitoring, analysis, and
control application for your facility. Each section guides you through the tasks you need to plan, configure, program, and
use your Rockwell Automation
 energy data collection and control devices and analysis software. An example application,
named Efficient Industries Plant 1, is referenced throughout this quick start to guide you through these tasks.
To help in the design and installation of your system, application files and other information is provided on the Energy
Management Accelerator Toolkit CD, publication IASIMP-SP014. The CD provides an energy data worksheet, layout
and wiring drawings, data collection and control logic, and more. With these tools and the built-in best-practices design,
you can focus on the design of your system and not on design overhead tasks.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these sections carefully before you begin work in
each chapter.
• Before You Begin - This section lists the steps that must be completed and decisions that must be made before

• What You Need - This section lists the tools that are required to complete the steps in the current chapter. This
includes, but is not limited to, hardware and software.
