Meter reading index Only for M-bus meters:
If the "Determine index automatically" option is activated
(factory setting), the meter value (electricity (kW), water
(m³), etc.) to be archived is determined automatically.
If an alternative meter value should be archived, the
meter reading index must be configured for this. The
meter reading index can be determined using the
"Retrieve meter data" button. The meter indexes in the
meter data can be found via the designation
"DataRecord id=xxx)" whereby "xxx" stands for the
index.
Example :
Retrieval of the meter data Retrieval of the meter data can be initiated to test the
communication with the M-bus meter. This data retrieval
is initiated by tapping the button
Practical tip : in the event of communication faults on
the M-bus, this can also be used to check whether the
communication is still functioning.
