Components > Energy efficiency

This invisible component is used to determine electricity consumption. Several main connections and their individual current paths can be considered individually.

The component calculates the power from current and voltage or the current from power and voltage. In addition, the amount of energy is output in kWh.

Data points of the component

Name	Type	Function
Diagnosis [Text]	Output	A diagnosis can be output as text here. Attention: Diagnostic or debug outputs are only intended for use in the event of an error. Please only use them after consulting the support team! If used, these can considerably impair the performance of the service.
Dynamic	Folder	The channels created are displayed in this folder.
Update interval	Bidirectional	Here you can specify the time interval at which the data is to be collected.

Properties of the component

ChannelListEnergie

Designation	Description
Name	The designation can be adapted for the created channel.
Group	If several channels are to be grouped, a unique group name can be entered here. This creates a new folder in the "Dynamic" folder for the combined group consumptions.
Current path	Selection of current path L1/L2/L3 to N or star delta.
Main connection	The main connection to which the channel belongs must be selected here.
Cos phi	Enter the efficiency as a factor between 0 and 1.
Current Min [A]	If there is a minimum current, it can be defined here. If the current falls below this value, the corresponding data point will output an ON signal.
Current Max [A]	If there is a maximum current, it can be defined here. If it is exceeded, the corresponding data point will output an ON signal.
Current overload [A]	A current for overload can be defined. If this is exceeded, the corresponding data point will output an ON signal.
Power Min [A]	If there is a minimum power, it can be defined here. If the power falls below this value, the corresponding data point will output an ON signal.
Power Max [A]	If there is a maximum power, it can be defined here. If it is exceeded, the corresponding data point will output an ON signal.
Power overload [A]	A power for overload can be defined. If this is exceeded, the corresponding data point will output an ON signal.
On-time threshold [h]	Setting option for the maximum ON time. (e.g. for service interval, ...)

Name	Type	Function
On-time Total	Output	Outputs the total on-time
Total on-time - threshold reached	Output	If a set threshold value of the switch-on time is exceeded, a signal is output here.
Total on-time [h]	Output	Outputs the total switch-on time in hours
Reset total on-time	Input	Resets the "On time total" values to 0
On-time intermediate counter	Output	Outputs the switch-on time of the intermediate counter.
On-time intermediate counter [h]	Output	Outputs the switch-on time of the intermediate meter in hours.
On-time intermediate counter - threshold reached	Output	If a set threshold value of the switch-on time of the intermediate meter is exceeded, a signal is output here.
Reset on-time intermediate meter	Input	Sets the values "On-time intermediate counter" to 0
Cos Phi	Input	Input for the efficiency value
Energy Total [kWh]	Output	Outputs the calculated energy consumption (total).
Reset Energy Total	Input	Sets the "Energy Total" values to 0
Energy Intermediate Meter [kWh]	Output	Outputs the calculated energy consumption (intermediate meter).
Reset energy intermediate meter	Input	Sets the "Energy intermediate meter" values to 0
Average power [W]	Output	Outputs the average power of the outer conductor
Power [W]	Bidirectional	If the power is measured, it can be fed into the energy meter for calculation (input). The current then serves as a pure output. Power and current must not be used as input at the same time.
Power Maximum [W]	Output	Outputs the maximum power of the phase conductor
Reset power maximum/average	Input	Sets the values "Power maximum and average" to 0
Power upper limit exceeded	Output	If a set power limit is exceeded, a signal is output here
Power below lower limit	Output	If the power falls below a set limit, a signal is output here.
Power overload	Output	If a set power limit is exceeded, a signal is output here.
Current average [A]	Output	Outputs the average current value
Current [A]	Bidirectional	If the current is measured, this can be fed into the energy meter for calculation (input). The power then serves as a pure output. Power and current must not be used as input at the same time!
Current Maximum [A]	Output	Outputs the maximum current value
Reset current maximum/average	Input	Sets the values "Current maximum and average" to 0
Current upper limit exceeded	Output	If a set power limit is exceeded, a signal is output here
Current overload	Output	If a set power limit is exceeded, a signal is output here.
Current below lower limit	Output	If the current falls below a set power limit, a signal is output here.
