| SmartWare™ is CG Automation’s intuitive graphical programming software for all controllers, MicroSoft Windows (all versions) compatible. |
| |
| Using SmartWare II, a user can create or modify a configuration and send it to a controller, read a controller’s current configuration, save or load a configuration to/from a file, monitor a controller’s current operation, and retrieve a controller’s historical data. Controller maintenance operations may also be performed. |
|
|
| Textboxes, checkboxes, and dropdown lists are used for data entry. Each textbox, checkbox, or dropdown list has an associated tooltip that briefly describes the field and the numerical range of the value that can be entered. For values entered into textboxes, the entries are checked for min, max and non-numerical values. If a valid value is entered, the textbox turns yellow and “Changes Pending” is appended to the title on the main SmartWare II display. If an invalid value is entered, a message box describing the error is displayed. When the message box is released, the previous value is restored in the textbox. |
|
| The MCapII / ECapII controls use a switching strategy with overrides to control a capacitor bank. A user can configure switching strategies for up to 4 seasons. A season is configured by setting the starting month and day for that season. |

|
Strategies
Available bank states and switching strategies are:
• No Operation
• Always Opened
• Always Closed
• Voltage
• Temperature
• Current
• kVAr
• KW
• Power Factor |
Overrides
Both Seasonal & Global overrides can be configured for:
• Reverse Power
• Neutral Current/Voltage
• Max Operations Per Day

• Day-of-the-Week (DOW) Override
Holidays
Specify up to 99 holidays. The controller can be configured to open or close the bank during a holiday. A voltage override can be enabled for the holiday; the strategy voltage override for the season when the holiday occurs is used. |
Daylight Saving Time
Can be enabled or disabled, and the starting and ending DST dates can be specified. For each scheduled or unscheduled time period, the user can specify a switching strategy or have the bank remain opened, remain closed, or stay in its current state (no operation). |
