Publish diagrams

If enabled, the diagrams will be uploaded to the Polar Bear Portal Server and the corresponding HTTP URL will be generated. If this is not active, the URL for network access is generated.

User-defined FTP connection

With this enabled, the graphs are sent to the custom FTP server. Uploading to the EisBaer Portal Server is disabled.

Add timestamp to uploaded images

Adds the timestamp to the file name of the graphic.

Custom FTP Connection

Entry of the user-defined FTP connection for uploading the graphic.

URL base for user-defined publishing

Entry of the URL for user-defined FTP connection from which the graphic is to be downloaded.

Driver On/Off

Defines whether the driver is automatically activated at the start of the project.

Name

Freely definable name for the consumer.

Priority

Consumers are scheduled according to priority (0-10). The higher the number, the higher the priority.

Power [W]

Indication of the expected continuous power of the consumer.

Duty cycle [min]

Indication of how long the consumer is to remain switched on.

May use power supply

Activate if an appointment is to be created in any case, even if not enough solar power is available. If Deactivated, an appointment is only created if, after deducting the previously scheduled appointments (all consumers that are allowed to use domestic power and all that are not but have a higher priority), there is still enough solar power available over the switch-on duration.

Calendar restriction

If active, appointments are only created in the periods for which an Allow appointment has been created for the consumer.

Only on request

An appointment is not created automatically, but only on explicit request via the data point provided for this purpose (schedule appointment start within X minutes).

Allow day change

Allow whether an appointment goes beyond the day change.

Start in past

Allow appointment start in the past

Allow changes if active

If an appointment is recalculated (e.g. if an appointment is explicitly requested for a consumer or the basic consumption changes or consumers are (de)activated, etc.), a currently running appointment is only moved if this is permitted here (e.g. for chargers or similar). Consumers that are not allowed to be interrupted should deactivate this option here so that running appointments are not interrupted/postponed.

Allow splitting

With this function, the channel can be switched on and off in the course of the day. This distributes the duty cycle over several convenient periods.

Fix current day

If this function is set, the current date for this channel can no longer be changed. Not even if other parameters such as PV power or electricity prices change.

Colour

Colour for the consumer, which is displayed in the diagram and in the calendar.
