scope:

This manual provides design guidance for new UMCS, expansion of existing UMCS, upgrade of existing Energy Monitoring and Control Systems (EMCS) to UMCS, and expansion of existing EMCS. This manual includes guidance for both direct digital control and supervisory control implementations of UMCS and EMCS.

PURPOSE. This manual provides a methodology and standards for the design of Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS) and for other computer automation systems which sense the physical environment and control equipment. The methodology described will be used for design of each system.
