8.6.2 Digital channels
– Status:
Set the channel to inactive or active. Measured values are
logged in data fi les according to status.
– Channel/Measured value designation):
Indicates the name of the channel. This designation is
used in the online display of measured values.
– Code:
Indicates the channel’s code designation. This designation
is used in the data fi les. If possible, use
one of the codes in the predefi ned list (see section 9:
“List of Code Designations”)
so that it is easier to synchronise with the Internet
database.
– Unit:
Specifi es the unit for the measured values. This design
tion is used in the online display of measured values.
– Number of decimal places:
Specifi es the number of decimal places for the online
display and for archiving in the data fi les.
– Pulse constant:
The pulse constant is used to convert the measured pulses
to physical quantities. The constant is specifi ed in
pulses/kWh.
– Power interval:
Defi nes the time period for calculating the current power
from the pulses. The time is defi ned in seconds
(depends on the pulse frequency).
– Counter reading:
Current value for the energy measurement. You can
also manually enter the value here.
8.6.3 Extension modules
You can use up to eight add-on modules to increase the
number of inputs on the Powador-proLOG. In this case, the
Powador-proLOG communicates with the extension modules
over the local Ethernet network.
8.6.4 Current sensors
Use this section to add or delete sensors. To do so, enter the
bus address in the fi eld and then press the “Add” or “Delete”
button.
Once you have fi nished making changes, press “Apply” to use
the new address list.
You can change the address of a sensor in the “Program a
sensor” section. Since duplicate addresses are not allowed on
a data logger, you can change the sensor addresses here.
The rest of the options must be supported by the current sen-
sors. You should therefore consult with KACO new energy
before using these settings (or let KACO new energy make the
settings for you).
8.6.5 Inverters
If inverters are connected, you can use this section for admin-
istration, e.g. to add or delete inverters from the system.
8.6.6 Energy of digital channels
This page pertains to the “Online values -> Analogue/Digi-
tal”) section: As the administrator, you can correct the energy
values that are displayed there.
You can also specify which channels should be included in the
total in the “Digital inputs considered in the total” section.
ATTENTION
– Only in connection with the Powador-proLOG M and
XL (Ethernet interface).
– Detailed instructions are included with the extension
modules.
