Meter & Storage

This meter is used to integrate a storage and records its level, charging and discharging.

The values are retrieved from a physical utility meter or from the storage itself.

In combination with other meter function blocks, various consumers, producers or storages can be linked via the Energy Flow Monitor for an overall view.

Inputs

Abbreviation Summary Description Value Range
Pf Power or flow 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.
Mrd Meter reading Discharge Discharge 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. 0...∞
Mrc Meter reading Charge Charge 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. 0...∞
Slvl Storage level or state of charge
R Reset Pulse: Meter reading outputs are reset. On: Block is locked. 0/1

Properties

Summary Description Value Range Default Value
Power/Flow direction Specifies whether the physical meter provides the charge or discharge value as a positive or negative value to the Pf input of the block. - -
Maximum storage level Maximum storage level used for the user interface 0...∞ 100
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. - -
