Power Controller: what it looks like
|
Element
|
Description |
|---|---|
| Average power limit | Active power limit defining whether to disconnect/reconnect loads. |
| Measurement time | Time 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 signal | Signal defining when to start the measurement time. |

User type
|
Load type. If set as generator, the load is excluded from the function algorithm. |
| Enabled | Includes/excludes the load from the function algorithm |
| Name | Name assigned to the load |
| Power consumption | Rated power of the load |
| Disconnection priority | Position of the load in the load disconnection sequence. Priority 1 corresponds to the first load to be disconnected. |
| Minimum reconnection time | Minimum load connection time to avoid power-on/power-off too close together. |
| Disconnection time | Minimum disconnection time to avoid frequent power-on and off. Maximum disconnection time to avoid prolonged disconnections. |
| Time window | Period of the day during which the load cannot be disconnected. During that period the function algorithm excludes the load. |

Description |
|---|---|
| Signal status/Commands > Contact | Device cable used for 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:
|
| Signal status > Polarity | Active 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 > Delay | Delay in seconds before the signal is processed after reception |
