Security information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is
necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial
security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept.
Customer is responsible to prevent unauthorized access to its plants, systems, machines
and networks. Systems, machines and components should only be connected to the
enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent necessary and with appropriate security
measures (e.g. use of firewalls and network segmentation) in place.
Additionally, Siemens’ guidance on appropriate security measures should be taken into
account. For more information about industrial security, please visit
(http://www.siemens.com/industrialsecurity).
Siemens’ products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them more
secure. Siemens strongly recommends to apply product updates as soon as available and to
always use the latest product versions. Use of product versions that are no longer supported,
and failure to apply latest updates may increase customer’s exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial Security RSS
Feed under (http://support.automation.siemens.com).

WARNING
Security note
The software may be used only for
the applications described in the catalog or the technical
description, and only in combination with the software products, components and devices of
other manufacturers where recommended or permitted by Siemens. Before you run any
sample programs included with your product package, or user programs, make sure that
harm to the health of human beings or damage to machinery is safely excluded during plant
operation.

1.3
Functionality of the acquisition component
Note
Energy Manager Basic/PRO
This manual is valid for both Energy
Manager Basic and Energy Manager
PRO. To make the
manual easier to read, the term Energy
Manager PRO is used instead of
Energy
Manager Basic/PRO.
The Energy Manager PRO Acquisition or acquisition component is installed as a separate
application and provides the requirements for acquiring data from the field and / or process
level.
In case of multiple locations, depending on the network configuration, one Energy Manager
PRO acquisition component should be used for each location. In the Energy Manager PRO
Acquisition component acquisition values are stored, compressed values are transferred via
the Intranet / Internet to the Energy Manager PRO Server into the database.
Compression functionality
The acquisition component automatically compresses the acquisition values of a datapoint
that are smaller than or equal to one day. Acquisition values that are larger than one day are
stored without compression directly at the Energy Manager PRO Server into the database.
The compression levels 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour as well as 1 day are selected
automatically when a datapoint is created, but can be deselected, if necessary, via the
"Compression" button. Entry values are compressed to the selected compression levels and
saved in the database. This means that incoming 1-minute values, for example, are
compressed to 15-minute values, 1-hour values and 1-day values and the compressed
values are saved in the database. Further compression levels can be selected additionally.
Minimum, maximum, average, sum and power
The acquisition component automatically calculates for each compressed value the
minimum, the maximum, the average, the sum and the power and stores these values in
addition to each compressed value into the database. Important for the correct calculation of
the statistical values is a corresponding definition in the "Type" field at the datapoint (Power,
Energy, Counter Value, Process Value). The statistical values are visible in the measured
value editor. The time stamp is also specified for each statistical value.
Details about this are available in the Operation Manual "SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO
V7.1 – Operation" in section "Opening the measured value editor".
Introduction
1.3 Functionality of the acquisition component
SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO V7.1 - Acquisition
System Manual, 07/2018, A5E38952756-AB 7
Storage and display of acquisition values
The acquisition component creates an adf file per day and datapoint in which the acquisition
values are stored. The files are stored locally on the acquisition and are available for 2
months (62 days). Afterwards the files, and thus also the acquisition values, are deleted.
In order to ensure a rapid overview of the current values the acquisition values can be
displayed in the Chart or Dashboard.
A review of the acquisition values by means of the Chart or Dashboard is limited to the set
storage period (62 days). Matrix and measured value editor currently do not have any
functionality for displaying the acquisition values of the acquisition component.
It is not possible to access the acquisition values, unless the compression level "Acquisition
values" is selected at the "Compression" button in the datapoint. Then the acquisition values
of the acquisition component are transferred too the database at the Energy Manager PRO
Server.
If compression levels are selected at the datapoint, the acquisition component compresses
the acquisition values to the selected levels. The acquisition component synchronizes
regularly with the Energy Manager PRO Server and in the process transfers the compressed
values to the Server where the values are stored in the database.
Plausibility check and message list
The following plausibility checks are available for entry values directly on the acquisition
component:
● High limit
● Upper limit warning
● Lower limit warning
● Low limit
● Gap
If a plausibility check is to take place and messages are to be generated, these have to be
activated at the "Plausibility" button in the datapoint.
The acquisition component then checks the acquisition values for plausibility and sends a
message per email or generates an entry in the message list, in as far as the message list is
configured correctly.
The following plausibility checks in the "Compare With" area
● Another Time Period
● Reference Object
● Upper Limit
● Lower Limit
can only be checked if the entry values are available on the server. To this purpose the
"Acquisition values" option has to be selected additionally in the "Compression" at the
datapoint.
More detailed information on the plausibility check is available in the Operation Manual
"SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO V7.1 – Operation" in section "Configuring the plausibility".
Introduction
1.3 Functionality of the acquisition component
SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO V7.1 - Acquisition
8 System Manual, 07/2018, A5E38952756-AB
Configuration of the datapoint
The compression levels are selected for the datapoint in the Energy Manager PRO Client.
Ensure that the correct "Type" is selected when creating the datapoint. This is necessary for
the correct calculation of the statistical value.
Details about compression and about the type of datapoint are available in the Operation
Manual "SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO V7.1 – Operation" in section "Configuring
compression".
If you want to receive warning messages, activate the messages at the "Plausibility" button
and configure a message list.

Overview
In the Energy Manager PRO acquisition configuration you establish the logical connection
between the acquisition component (Acquisition) and the Energy Manager PRO Server
(Pairing). The Energy Manager PRO acquisition configuration is installed together with the
"Energy Manager PRO Acquisition" software component. The acquisition component
supports communication via a proxy server.
You can configure the connection to the Energy Manager PRO Server either by using the
wizard or manually.
● Configuring the connection manually
You can configure the connection to the Energy Manager PRO Server with or without
access to the Energy Manager PROServer. The connection is created when saving the
configuration data. If the Energy Manager PRO Server cannot be reached, the
configuration is saved locally. Upon restarting the Energy Manager PRO acquisition
configuration, an attempt is made to establish the connection using the saved
configuration.
● Setting up a connection using the wizard
Configuration with the wizard requires a connection to the Energy Manager PRO Server.
The wizard performs a step by step check of the connection data that have been entered.
Configuring the connection using the wizard
You need the following data to log the acquisition component in to the Energy Manager PRO
Server:
