Power Controller: parameters

Function parameters

Element
Description
Average power limitActive power limit defining whether to disconnect/reconnect loads.
Measurement timeTime interval during which power consumption is recorded and the average value calculated. The average value is compared with the set average power limit.
Number of loads/generators monitored
Number of loads/generators monitored.
The system checks that the number of configured loads is consistent with this value...
External synchronisation signalSignal defining when to start the measurement time.
 

Load parameters (General)

Element
Description
User type
Load type. If set as generator, the load is excluded from the function algorithm.
EnabledIncludes/excludes the load from the function algorithm
NameName assigned to the load
Power consumptionRated power of the load
Disconnection priorityPosition of the load in the load disconnection sequence. Priority 1 corresponds to the first load to be disconnected.
icon To change the disconnection priority, use the mouse to select and drag the graphical representation of the load to the chosen disconnection position (e.g. drag the load to the first place to assign priority 1).
Minimum reconnection timeMinimum load connection time to avoid power-on/power-off too close together.
Disconnection timeMinimum disconnection time to avoid frequent power-on and off.
Maximum disconnection time to avoid prolonged disconnections.
Time windowPeriod of the day during which the load cannot be disconnected. During that period the function algorithm excludes the load.
 

Load parameters (Signals)

Element
Description
Signal status/Commands > Contact

Device cable used for signal.

  • available icon: available
  • not available icon: not available
  • selected icon: selected for a signal
Signal status > Meaning

(only if the device used for the signal is a circuit breaker and the optional status signal is activated).
Meaning of the status signal:

  • Enabled/Disabled
  • Tripped/Not tripped
Signal status > PolarityActive open: if the input contact is open, the function interprets the load as active (closed).
Active Closed: if the input contact is closed, the logic interprets the load as active (closed).
Signal status > DelayDelay in seconds before the signal is processed after reception
