Name – this field displays the name of the station, which is pre-filled with the station identification
data.
Configuration name – this field displays the name of the station's configuration, if this information is
supported by the station and has been filled in.
Serial Number – this field displays the station's serial number, if supported by the station.
IP Address – (Ethernet only) this field displays the IP address that is currently assigned to the station.
LQI – this field displays information about the signal quality of the station's connection. For stations
communicating via Ethernet, 100% is always displayed because this physical layer does not
communicate the relevant data. For stations communicating via the wireless interface, the signal
quality between the station and the nearest access point is displayed (this is either the SC-Gateway or
the nearest signal repeater).
Message counter – this field shows the number of messages that have been sent to the respective
station. If the number of messages exceeds 2
32
, the messages are counted again from zero.
Ping – this field displays the station response in milliseconds. The term response refers to the actual
response of the station from the moment a message is sent to the station to the receipt of the
response, increased by a pause in the communication which is inserted by the access point.
Communication pauses are necessary to maintain communication stability and to optimize the use
(non-overloading) of the controller's network interface.
Note:
The access point operates all stations of the same type cyclically. The response thus increases in
proportion to the increasing number of stations of the same type in the station table. For example, if all 6
stations are occupied and all are of the same type (eg Ethernet), then the response will usually be 6 times longer
than the response of one station (if we consider a similar response for all stations). If a station is unavailable,
then the station response increases by a preset response timeout.
Station status indicator – is displayed in green when the station is connected.
Clear entry button – removes the station, ie cancels the pairing. For the change to take effect, it is
necessary to write the configuration to the controller.
Device mapping table:
In this table, the source devices of the station are assigned to the destination (logic) device of the controller.
Each line defines one usable device. New mapping can be added by pressing the Add entry button.
WATTrouter M cannot map devices due to limited configuration memory, so detailed mapping information is
not provided.
STATISTICS TAB
This tab displays daily, weekly, monthly and annual statistics on production, consumption and surplus (excess)
energy. Statistics can be exported to *.csv files if desirable.
Through the current sensing module it is only possible to measure consumption and surplus data
using IL1-3 signals. In order to display data on production and self-consumption, it is necessary to
add photovoltaic power measurements. As of firmware version 4.0, this means setting the
appropriate input carrying active power information in the Production field in the Input settings
for statistics on the Other settings tab. It is possible to use any FB input. It is necessary to
connect
pulse output
from an external electricity meter
,
which measures the power and energy
from the inverter, to the appropriate FB input.
Alternatively, connect inverter directly to the
respective input when the inverter is equipped with a compatible impulse output.
Values are approximate! The device does not know the exact values from utility/billing meters!
