Further, the latest version of the Web-based energy management software is paired with upgraded installation and deployment support. Providing a step-by-step guide, the software helps users instantly configure alarm, firewall and communication settings at the touch of a button to reduce the risk of error during system installation and commissioning.

These capabilities have also been upgraded in the latest version of the software, with one-line graphic editing tools now including multiple object selections, horizontal and vertical aligning tools and the capability to cut and paste lines, text and symbols.
