Meter Bidirectional
This bidirectional meter is suitable for recording consumption and delivery of various utilities such as electricity, gas, water, heat, etc.
The values are retrieved from a physical utility meter.
In combination with other meter function blocks, various consumers, producers or storages can be linked via the Energy Flow Monitor for an overall view.

If only this input is used, the meter reading is also calculated from it. Otherwise it is only used for the output (Pf) and the user interface. |

| Mrc |
Meter reading Consumption |
Consumption Input for meters that send the meter reading directly as an analog value. For meters that only send partial quantities (e.g. Smart Socket), relative metering must be activated in the settings of the block. |

Meter reading Delivery |
Delivery Input for meters that send the meter reading directly as an analog value. For meters that only send partial quantities (e.g. Smart Socket), relative metering must be activated in the settings of the block. |

Default Value |
| Power/Flow direction |
Specifies whether the physical meter provides the delivery or consumption value as a positive or negative value to the Pf input of the block. |
- |
| Relative metering |
Active: The physical meter only sends partial quantities at intervals (relative), the block adds them up and uses them to form the meter reading. |

| Report invalid Meter Reading |
If checked, you will be notified if invalid Meter Reading values have been detected. For instance, when a physical counter sends unrealistic values due to transmission errors. |
