What is PowerPort?
PowerPort is a portable, scaled-down version of the flexible and powerful PowerNet Power
Management Software. Whereas PowerNet communicates with multiple Eaton Corp. Cutler-
Hammer devices over an INCOM network, PowerPort communicates with one device at a
time via a direct connection. With PowerPort, you can configure a single device and view
both real time and historical data from that device.

Supported Communications
PowerPort communicates directly with a Cutler-Hammer INCOM device via a connection to
either a network interface device (MINT, PMCOM5, RS-232 PONI) or an RS-232 port on the
device.
PowerPort supports communication with a subset of Cutler-Hammer INCOM devices. For a
complete list, see either the Type drop-down menu in the Device section of the main window
of PowerPort or the Cutler-Hammer web site, http://www.ch.cutler-hammer.com.
Requirements for Installing PowerPort

PowerPort cannot be installed on a computer on which PowerNet Software is already
installed.
The computer on which you install PowerPort must have a Windows 98, NT, or 2000
operating system. Accordingly, you will need some basic knowledge about working in the
Windows environment.
PowerPort requires an IP address to run. If the computer on which you will install PowerPort
does not have an IP address (e.g., a stand-alone laptop), please specify one. Contact your
Network Administrator for help.
Installing PowerPort
To run PowerPort, you need first to download it from the Cutler-Hammer web site,
http://www.ch.cutler-hammer.com.
To install PowerPort after downloading it, select as its host a computer that meets the
requirements indicated in Requirements for Installing PowerPort. Then complete the
following steps.
Note
PowerPort only takes a few minutes to install. But should you need to stop, you will have the option to
cancel the installation at every step of the process.
1. Close all open applications before installing new software.
2. Locate the PowerPortInstall.exe program in the directory to which you downloaded it
on your computer.
3. Double-click the program. The Unpacking PowerPort window displays.

inadvertently left an application open, select the No, I will restart my computer later radio
button, then close the open application and restart your computer from the Windows Start button.
Restarting a computer while applications are running might affect how well the applications work.
12. Remove any disks that are in your computer’s drives. (If any are present during the restart
process, Windows will display an error message indicating that it cannot restart the
computer until the disks are removed.)
13. Click Finish.
Important
It is necessary to restart your computer after installing any new program to ensure that the
program runs correctly.
The setup program restarts your computer and displays PowerPort's readme.txt file.
You can find PowerPort installed in either the default directory (C:\PowerPort) or the
directory that you selected in Step 8.
In addition, you can find PowerPort in the Programs group on your Windows Start
button.
Starting PowerPort
To start PowerPort, click Start on your Windows computer and select PowerPort from the
Programs menu.

When you first start PowerPort, the program opens with the on-line radio button selected; but
you are neither connected to a Cutler-Hammer INCOM device nor logged on to PowerPort.
Modes of Operating PowerPort

When using PowerPort, you can be logged on or not logged on and working on-line or off-
line.
Logged on and not logged on are terms that refer to your user privileges. That is, you are only
permitted to change device setpoints and execute device controls if you have certain user

privileges in PowerPort; and the log-on process is how PowerPort verifies your user
privileges.
On-line and off-line are terms that refer to the relation between PowerPort and the Cutler-
Hammer INCOM device that is configured in PowerPort. That is, if you are working on-line,
PowerPort is communicating with the device; and if you are working off-line, PowerPort is
not communicating with the device but only with files containing information about it.
PowerPort has three modes of operation:
♦ on-line and logged on,
♦ on-line and not logged on, and
♦ off-line (whether you are logged on or not does not matter).
What You Can Do in Each Mode

In on-line mode, you communicate with a Cutler-Hammer INCOM device via a network
interface.
♦ If you are in on-line mode and logged on, you can monitor real-time device data, display
and change device setpoints, and execute device controls.
♦ If you are in on-line mode but not logged on, you can only monitor real-time device data
and display device setpoints.
In off-line mode (whether logged on or off), you work only with files (i.e., configuring new
setpoints for a device or viewing and printing previously saved setpoints for, or data from, a
device).
Logging On to PowerPort
Typically, you will begin your PowerPort session by logging on. However, you can log on to
PowerPort at any point in a session.
Note
It is possible to run PowerPort without logging on. See the section What You Can Do in Each Mode
on Page 7.
To log on to PowerPort, complete the following steps.
1. Select Log On from the System menu.
The PowerPort Log On window displays.

2. Enter your PowerPort Password in the text box and click OK.
Note
If this is the first time you are running PowerPort, the default password is ADMIN.
PowerPort logs you on and returns you to the main window to begin your session.
Note
There is no log-off option separate from exiting PowerPort. Refer to Exiting PowerPort on Page
54.
How You Can Tell Whether You Are Logged On or Not

Whether or not you are logged on is indicated by the appearance of the Log On menu option
on the System menu in the upper left corner of the main window of PowerPort.
If you are not yet logged on, the Log On option is active (i.e., black and capable of selection).
If you are already logged on, the Log On option is inactive (i.e., grayed out and incapable of
selection).
Changing Your Password

If this is the first time that you are running PowerPort, you may want to change the default
password (ADMIN) to a more secure one.
Important
You can only change your password if you are logged on to PowerPort. If you are not logged on, the
Change Password option in the System menu in the main window of PowerPort is inactive (i.e. grayed
out).
To change your PowerPort password, complete the following steps.
1. Log on to PowerPort.
2. Select Change Password from the System menu in the main window of PowerPort.
The Change PowerPort Password window displays.
3. Enter the current password in the Old Password text box.

4. Enter the new password in the New Password text box.
5. Enter the new password again in the Confirm New Password text box.
6. Click OK.

PowerPort changes your password and returns you to the main window to begin or
continue your session.
Configuring PowerPort for Communication with a Device

You configure PowerPort for communication with a particular Cutler-Hammer INCOM
device by providing the appropriate information in the Device and Communication sections of
the main window of PowerPort.
Important
The information that you provide in the Device and Communication sections of the main window of
PowerPort must match the settings on your network interface (i.e., your RS-232 PONI, MINT, or
PMCOM5). If you need information about your network interface, you can download free instructional
leaflets from Cutler-Hammer’s web site, http://www.ch.cutler-hammer.com.
Configuring the Device

To configure a device in the Device section of the main window of PowerPort, complete the
following steps.
1. From the Type drop-down menu in the Device section of the main window of
PowerPort, select your device.
2. In the Address text box, enter the hexadecimal address of the device.
Note
If you are connecting to a device mounted with an RS-232 PONI, there is no address to enter here:
simply leave the box blank. If the device to which you are connecting is an IQ Multipoint Energy
Submeter and you want to change its address, follow the steps described in the section entitled

Digitrip 1150/1150V, the IQ Transfer, the IQ Multipoint Energy Submeter II, the Digital Input
Module (DIM), Digitrip Optim 550, Digitrip Optim 750, Digitrip Optim 1050 and the ATC-400.
The IQ Multipoint Energy Submeter II and DIM do not support off-line setpoints.
For the Digitrip 1150/1150V, IQ Transfer, ATC-400 and Digitrip Optim 550/750/1050, you must
connect to a device and save a setpoints file to read setpoints off line.
The naming convention for the default files is devicetype_communication version.set.
4. Select the file that you want to display from the list of default (and any user-created)
files, or directly type the file name into the File name text box.
Note
You must select a device file that matches the device type selected in the main window of
PowerPort (and, if applicable, in the Setpoints Type Selection window in Step 2 above).

5. Click Open.
Note
Setpoint files that are opened under the Display Setpoints function are for viewing and printing
only. To change a previously saved setpoints file, open it under the Change Setpoints function.
See the section entitled Ch\anging Setpoint Files in Off-Line Mode on Page 26.
The Setpoint Data window displays the file information.
Note
In off-line mode, you cannot view real-time setpoints for an INCOM device connected to
PowerPort. Nor can you download any new setpoints to the device. To perform either of these
actions, you must switch to on-line mode and click, respectively, the Display Setpoints button
or the Change Setpoints button.
The title bar of the window indicates the particular device whose setpoints are displayed.
Three information boxes just below the title bar indicate the DeviceServer (always
PowerPort), the number of the device whose setpoints are displayed (always 1) and the
user-defined description of the device (as specified in the Device section of PowerPort's
main window).
The two columns in the middle of the window list the names of the setpoints and the
current values for each one.

Working in the Setpoint Data Window

Whether you display it in off- or on-line mode, you can perform the same actions within the
Setpoint Data window.
As indicated by the three buttons in this window, there are three actions that you can perform.
You can
♦ print the displayed setpoints,
♦ display, if pertinent, the PONI setpoints, and
♦ close the window.
Note
For further information about device setpoints displayed in a Setpoint Data window, see the
Instructional Leaflet (IL) written for that device. You can download ILs from Cutler-Hammer’s web
site, http://www.ch.cutler-hammer.com.
Displaying PONI Setpoints

Currently, the Display PONI Setpoints function only works for devices communicating with
PowerPort by means of a BPONI (a buffered PONI). If your configured Cutler-Hammer
INCOM device is not communicating with PowerPort by means of a BPONI, the Display
PONI Setpoints button is inactive (i.e., grayed out) or yields an error message if you click it.
If your device is communicating with PowerPort by means of a BPONI and you click the
Display PONI Setpoints button, the PONI Setpoint Data window displays.
To print the PONI setpoints information, click Print.

Change Setpoints

♦ When you are logged on and working in on-line mode, you can change the setpoints for a
Cutler-Hammer INCOM device currently communicating with PowerPort.
♦ When you are working in off-line mode, regardless of whether your are logged on or not,
you can change setpoint files.
Note
As a backup, you should regularly save setpoint configurations to files whenever making changes to
either device setpoints or setpoint files. See the section entitled File Save on Page 25.
The Change Setpoints button is inactive (i.e., grayed out), if you are in on-line mode but
not logged on. It is inactive in this instance because you must have the appropriate user
privileges to change a device’s setpoints, and the log-on process is how PowerPort verifies
your user privileges.
Note
Refer to the section Changing Plug n’ Play Setpoints on Page 33 for more information about changing
Plug n' Play setpoints.
Changing Device Setpoints While Logged On and Working in On-

Line Mode
When you begin working in on-line mode, PowerPort uploads the current setpoints of the
connected Cutler-Hammer INCOM device. To change those setpoints, you can make any
changes that you want directly in the Setpoints window and then download the new setpoints
to the device. Or you can open a previously saved file of configured setpoints in PowerPort,
make any changes that you want to that configuration, and then download those setpoints to
the device.
To upload the currently operative setpoints of a device, change them in PowerPort, and then
download the changes to the device, complete the following steps.
1. Log on to PowerPort, select on-line mode, and click Connect.

Monitor & Control

The Monitor & Control button enables you to display real-time data from the Cutler-Hammer
INCOM device connected to PowerPort and to send commands to that device. However, the
Monitor & Control button functions differently depending on the mode in which you are
working when you click it.
♦ When you are working in on-line mode but are not logged on, you can monitor real-time
data from the INCOM device connected to PowerPort. You cannot, however, execute any
device controls, because you must have the appropriate user privileges to do so and the
log-on process is how PowerPort verifies your user privileges.
♦ When you are working in on-line mode and are logged on, you can both monitor real-
time data from the INCOM device connected to PowerPort and execute controls for that
device.
♦ When you are working in off-line mode, regardless of whether you are logged on or not,
the Monitor & Control button is inactive (i.e., grayed out), because PowerPort can neither
monitor nor control a device until it is in on-line mode (i.e., communicating with a
device).

Monitoring Real-Time Device Data

To monitor real-time device data, complete the following steps.
1. Check that you are working in on-line mode.
Note
When monitoring real-time device data, it does not matter whether you are logged on or not.
2. Click Monitor & Control in the main window of PowerPort.
If the device does not support min/max values, the monitor and control window displays.
If the device supports min/max values, the Monitor & Control Selection window
displays.
3. If the device supports min/max values, you can do either of the following.
♦ Select the Device Values radio button and click OK.
PowerPort uploads real-time data from the INCOM device and displays it in the
monitor and control window.

OR
♦ Select the Min/Max Values radio button and click OK.
PowerPort uploads real-time min/max values from the INCOM device and displays
them in the monitor and control window.

Note
You can have a device values window and a min/max values window open at the same time. To open
the second window, drag the first out of the way, click Monitor & Control again, select the other
radio button, and click OK.
The monitor and control window has the same design whether it displays device values or
min/max values.
The title bar of the window indicates the type of the device with which PowerPort is currently
communicating, and the Description field just below the title bar indicates the user-defined
description of that device. (Both the type and the description appear as specified in the main
window of PowerPort.)
The Status field indicates the status of the device. The Reason field indicates the reason for
the status.
The Close button closes the monitor and control window.
The Always on top checkbox, if selected, will keep the current window always on top of
other windows that you may open during your PowerPort session.
The tabs that display below this information vary according to which device you are
monitoring.
The Quick Tab Select drop-down menu provides an alternative way to select a tab to view.
The Execute Control button (and the drop-down menu to the left of it) and the Control tab

The Execute Control button enables you to control a device. You select which commands
to send a device differently, depending on whether or not you are working on the Control tab
in the monitor and control window.
The Execute Control Button on Tabs Other Than the Control Tab
On tabs other than the Control tab, the Execute Control button appears with a drop-down
menu to the left of it. The drop-down menu lists controls that are specific to the currently
displayed tab. If the Execute Control button and the drop-down menu are inactive (i.e.,
grayed out), that means that there are no controls associated with that tab.
To execute such controls, complete the following steps.
1. Click the drop-down menu’s arrow (just to the left of the Execute Control button).
The controls specific to the currently displayed tab display in the drop-down menu list.

2. From that list, select the command that you want to execute.
The selected control displays in the drop-down menu field.
3. Click the Execute Control button.
A confirmation message displays, asking you whether you want to execute the selected

Motor Start Profiles

If the Cutler-Hammer INCOM device configured in the main window of PowerPort is an MP-
3000, you can click the Motor Start Profiles button to view motor start profiles captured by
that device. The Motor Start Profiles button functions differently depending on whether
you are working in off-line or on-line mode; but it does not matter whether you are logged on
or not.
♦ If you click the Motor Start Profiles button while working in on-line mode, PowerPort
will upload any new motor start profiles from the INCOM device and you can view these
as well as any profiles that have been previously saved as files.
♦ If you click the Motor Start Profiles button while working in off-line mode, you can
view motor start profiles that have been previously saved as files.
Note
If the MP-3000 device captures any motor start profiles while you are on-line and have the Motor Start
Profile window open, they will not automatically display in that window. To view profiles that are
captured while you are working in the Motor Start Profile window, you will need to refresh that
window by closing and reopening it.
Working in the Motor Start Profiles Window

When you click the Motor Start Profiles button, the Motor Start Profiles window displays.
The list box in the main window lists the motor start profile files that are available for viewing
