PM8000 for deliver é receive application using digital output

[Yarom]

Hello,

Client has an application where they supply back to utility network.

I managed to demonstrate that output can be switched when customer is delivering (using Q3 setup with DO1).

Here are things I do not know how to do:

1. is there a logic that can be setup to switch the output at a certain Energy value?

(i.e. at -50kW or at 50kW and not as soon as it switches to Q3)

2. Is there a possibility of adding a software timer in the logic to switch after a preset time?

Thanks,

Yarom

Hello @Yarom ,

1) Have you looked at the different energy values? By default I believe the PM8000 has kW del (power from line to load), kWh rec (power from load to line), kwh del + rec (absolute) and kWh del - rec (net). 

2) Have you looked into the Time of Use module (TOU), you can configure up to 4 different rates as different times and days.

Regards,

Charles

Thank you Charles.

So you guided me and got a support form L2 who explained how the modules worked.

What worked was to create a setpoint module with the -50kW (Power limits) and use the SUSUNTION for time delay.  Then connect that to the Digital output 1 in the module.

Conclusion: Have to get a clearer understanding of ION architecture.

Thanks,
