Setup and Commands Chapter 3
The Command.System_Registers data table, on page 368, is the command 
interface. The value that is written into Command Word One or Command 
Word Two identifies the command to be executed. The commands in Command 
Word One are disabled if Configuration Lock is active. Some commands require 
additional values to be written to specified elements of the 
Command.System_Registers
 data table. For example, a value of 18, Clear 
Setpoint Logic Gate Accumulators, uses the value of Command.System_Register 
data table element 3 to determine which logic gate accumulator to clear. The 
power monitor ignores data table element values that are not associated with a 
command. The power monitor rejects any attempt to select commands from 
both Command Word One and Two simultaneously.
Chapters 4
…8 provide additional detail on commands associated with power 
monitor functions.
Setup Using Custom Add-on 
Profile
The Studio 5000® environment is used to configure I/O messaging between a 
Logix controller and a PowerMonitor 5000 unit. An Add-on Profile is available 
for the PowerMonitor 5000 unit and can be used with Studio 5000 software, 
version 20 and later. The PowerMonitor 5000 unit Add-on Profile provides a 
graphical user interface to modify configuration parameters, create intuitive 
input and output tag names, and enables Automatic Device Configuration.
Automatic Device Configuration automatically allows the Logix controller to 
manage device configuration data. Each time the Logix controller establishes a 
connection with a device, the Logix controller downloads that configuration data 
to the device. This download lets you save commissioning time by 
preprogramming a device offline by using RSLogix 5000® or Studio 5000 
software. Automatic Device Configuration is enabled by default in the 
PowerMonitor 5000 Add-on Profile.
If you have a preconfigured PowerMonitor 5000 unit, or if you wish to configure 
your unit by using the web interface, software, or Explicit Messaging, the AOP 
gives you the option to disable Automatic Device Configuration. In the module 
definition, the configuration method can be set to one of the following options:
• This Controller - Configure the unit by using the Module Properties 
dialog box in RSLogix 5000 software. This option is the default setting.
• External Means - Configure the unit by using the web interface, software, 
Explicit Messaging, or other means. The Module Properties dialog box 
does NOT display subcategories specific to the device configuration. 
Additionally, the connection type does not contain a configuration 
instance. This option effectively disables Automatic Device 
Configuration.
IMPORTANT The commands in Command Word One are disabled if an I/O connection is 
active and the configuration instance exists in the Studio 5000 Logix 
Designer application.
