Power Center is a Windows® based software and acts as the primary tool for configuring Galooli’s gateways, extensions, and sensors.

The system uses standard Windows features and styles such as toolbars, menus, and property pages.

To download and install the Power Center, use the following link

Minimal System Requirements

Log-In Process

It is very easy and intuitive for the user to log in to the Power Center platform. Username (Email) and password are the same as those configured on the main Galooli Solution platform - Galooli Solution | Log In ProcessPreview

Open

• Upon successful registration, you will not be required to enter a username or password again, unless the Power Center was deleted, reinstalled or a version update was performed.

• If you are a global user, please enter the name of the organization after the email using &.

• Users who forget their password should reset the password via the Galooli Solution platform - How to Reset Password?Preview. If you are unable to register despite recovering your password, you must verify that you have the appropriate permissions to access Power Center. The permissions called “Hardware Configuration Tools”. Permission Management | General Authorization PermissionPreview

• In the event you use a Windows operating system on your computer, you may receive a security warning when you attempt to install Power Center or when you perform a version update of Power Center. To proceed with the process, please refer to the image below.

Screen Layout

The Power Center consists of a wide range of menus and sub-menus. This document outlines the system structure.

Misc Menu

Administrator Login

Log in with a different user account using the username and password provided by Galooli. This option allows switching users after an initial login has already been performed.

Step 2

RTU / ELARA

Configuration menu for Galooli Gateways (Ultragate & Elara).

• Control

• Adv. Control

Open

Control

The Control menu in the RTU/ELARA tab allows the user to monitor the gateway status, view general device information, and manage configuration files. From this menu, the user can read the current configuration from the device, write an updated configuration to the gateway, refresh the displayed data, and perform a device reset when required. It also provides access to load configuration files and save existing configurations for backup or reuse, all within the scope of standard User-level permissions.

• Status
  Provides the latest information from the gateway and all connected devices and sensors. Clicking Status triggers an immediate data refresh instead of waiting for the next update.

• Information
  Expands the data shown in the Status tab, providing additional details and context

• Read Configuration
  To retrieve any information from the gateway, this action must be performed.

• Write Configuration
  Applies the configuration changes made. This action must be performed only after completing Read Configuration.

• Refresh

  • In Elara gateway, the behavior is identical to Reset.

  • In Ultragate gateway, the action applies the parameter file without requiring a full reboot. The unit disconnects and reconnects after a few seconds.

• Reset
  After performing Write Configuration, this action must be executed to apply the updated configuration and refresh the gateway data.

• Direct-Comm

  • Opens the SNMP/Modbus/Modbus over TSP/Modbus over RS485 Cut Through wizard - Galooli Cut Through ToolsPreview

• Gateway Cut through

  • Opens the SNMP Cut-Through wizard (Linux RTU) - https://galooli.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYBYrw

• Load
  Upload a predefined parameters file (GIB).

• Save As..
  Save a new parameters file for use with other gateways.

Adv. Control

The Advanced Control menu in the RTU/ELARA tab provides extended device-level operations intended for maintenance and advanced management. From this menu, the user can set the gateway time, control digital outputs (ON/OFF), clear internal logs and input counters, and update or request the device location. It also allows initiating version checks, performing firmware (IAP) upgrades, and saving default parameters, enabling deeper control over the gateway’s behavior and lifecycle within the permitted access scope.

• Set Time - TBA

• Output-ON - TBA

• Output-OFF - TBA

• Clear Internal Log
  Not recommended for use, as it deletes all accumulated logs collected while the unit was disconnected.

• Clear Input Counters - TBA

• Set Location
  If GPS reception is poor, the location can be entered manually.

• Request Location
  Send a request to retrieve the location.

• Upgrade Version
  Firmware can be updated via a serial connection.

• Initiate Version Check
  Checks the current firmware version and automatically updates it if it is not up to date (Ultragate)

• Upgrade IAP Version
  Updates the gateway’s IAP (In-Application Programming) version. This process upgrades the internal firmware module responsible for device communication and system operations, ensuring compatibility with the latest features, fixes, and supported devices.

• Save Default - TBA

List of All Galooli Gateways

List of all Galooli gateways (excluding Elara and Ultragate) that can be configured via the Power Center.

Control

The Control menu in the All Devices tab allows monitoring gateway status, viewing device information, and performing basic configuration actions. Available options vary by gateway type and enable information retrieval and operational actions for gateways other than Elara and Ultragate.

Status & Configuration Tabs

The Status and Configuration menus together provide a complete view of the gateway and connected devices. The Status menu is used to verify real-time connectivity and live data, while the Configuration menu defines how devices are set up and how data is collected and communicated. Together, they allow users to both validate system operation and control its behavior.

Information in both menus is displayed only after a successful physical or OTA connection to the gateway has been completed, and after the “Read Configuration” and read “Status” processes have been executed successfully.

Configuration

Status Menu

This menu is intended for real-time monitoring and operational validation. It displays the current connection state of each component (Connected / Disconnected), live measurement values such as voltage, current, and accumulated energy (kWh), device identifiers, physical ports, and the last refresh time for each value. This is a read-only view used to verify that the equipment is connected, communicating properly, and reporting valid data, without allowing any configuration changes.

Configuration Menu

This menu is intended for device setup and configuration. It allows defining communication and logical parameters such as Modbus addresses, serial ports, baud rates, timeouts, retry counts, register mappings, data types, and scaling factors. It also shows the relationship between the physical device and its virtual configuration, including the default configuration in use. Changes made here directly affect how data is collected and how communication with the device is performed.

The actions available through the Configuration menu are detailed in the following knowledge base documents:

• https://galooli.atlassian.net/wiki/x/P4Dkq

• This section indicates the connection of the units via colors (red and green)

Open

• Active Device - Selection of options for connecting to the Gateways:

  • The “Power Device” option should be selected in case of connection to EX20ETH, EX20

  • The “TR7Z-TR5” option should be selected in case of TBA

  • The “RTU/ELARA” option should be selected in case of connection to Elara/Ultragate gateways

Open

• Connection Via - Type of connection to the gateway (OTA or Serial)

  • A voltage of at least 3.5 volts is required for the OTA connection.
