After selecting the entry “CONSUMPTION” from the “ENERGY” menu, one or more objects of the type ENERGY COUNTER
can be created. These objects basically are a special type of COMPLEX OBJECTS, optimized for the visualisation of energy
values received from a KNX counter hardware. Furthermore, these objects can also be used as reference objects for the
load control functionality, which will be explained in the further chapters of this manual.
After the creation of a new ENERGY COUNTER you can access its properties window, just like for every other object, too.
The following parameters can be configured:
POWER
ENABLE
POWER
CALCULATION
If this checkbox is enabled, the calculation of the power consumption is done using the
received current and voltage data. In this case, in the lower area of the properties window the
section „SUB-OBJECTS FOR POWER CALCULATION“ will appear, which is explained more in
detail on the following pages.
MINIMUM POWER
MAXIMUM POWER
These values define the maximum and minimum power consumption, through which the
percentage values of the current power consumption are calculated and shown in the
graphical display of the object.
MAX. LIMIT POWER
MIN. LIMIT POWER
These thresholds determine on one side the graphical representation of the power values
within the VISUALISATION, on the other side can also be used by the load control (if the
ENERGY COUNTER is used for that purpose).
LIMIT 1 POWER
LIMIT 2 POWER
These levels define how the energy counter is shown in the VISUALISATION; on the other
hand they are used for the load control (if the energy counter is used for that),
The energy counters change color depending on the shown value
Measured power < Limit 1: GREEN
Limit 1 < Measured power < Limit 2: ORANGE
Limit2 < Measured power: RED
