Archive for the additional metering input (Input 3)
For most applications, not only the current meter reading pursuant to Chapter 5.6 is needed, but recording in
an archive is specified. The example below therefore details the hourly recording in accordance with the
measuring period of the EK280 in a flexible archive.
For reliable activation of input 3 as a metering input and for recording in the flexible archive, you transmit the
following parameter file to EK280 by means of the "enSuite" parameterizing program in the sub folder
"EK280 / "V2xx"-/applications (see Chapter 3.6 "Send parameter file", page17 ):
EK280_2V2x - Application: Input 3 =Counting input (m3) and hourly storage in flexible archive 13 (*)
The input is set with the wpp file to the factory default setting. Hence it is then necessary to check and adjust
the input parameters in accordance with Chapter 5.6 .
The counter value appears both via input 3 and also in the Main Menu. The Main Menu is also set up with a
display in the form of a "List" pursuant to Chapter 2.1.1 . Accordingly, the counter value "V3" appears directly
in the Main Menu.
In principle, the make-up of the archive is flexible. In this example, the following values are recorded hourly
according to the wpp file.

Here the archive is designed as a ring buffer and, in this example, has a buffer capacity of 1000 entries. This
allows the most recent hourly readings for a period of more than one month to be recorded. However,
special entries which may reduce the storage capacity are not allowed for.
Both hourly end values and changes in relevant values for this archive (e.g., counter status changes, date
and time changes, etc.) and all alarms and warning messages are recorded.
In addition, a user list is available (see Chapter 2.1.3 or 2.1.4) which allows to display the following values:
