What do I use the digital outputs for?

S0 pulse generator

The digital outputs of the device are used to produce pulses for counting the energy consumption. To do so, a pulse is generated at the output after a certain, configurable amount of energy has been reached.

To open the configuration of a digital output:

• Click on the desired digital output in the device overview.

Or

• On the Peripherals tab, select the Digital output configuration card.

• On the configuration card, click on the desired output.

How do I set the digital output?

Step 1: Make settings via the device overview

The following parameters are available

• Channel name:
  Enter the name of the channel

• Mode:
  S0 output
  RCM

• Polarity
  Select the polarity of the output:

Normally open contact (NO) → current flow when active
Normally closed contact (NC) → Current flow when inactive

Step 2: Select digital S0 output

First select the digital input you want to configure.

Multiple selection is not possible.

Step 3: Configure a digital S0 output

The following parameters are available

• Segment
  Select the component from which the reference value originates:

Basic device
Module 1
Module 2
…

• Measurement group
  Select the measurement group of the reference value.

• Measured value
  Select the type of the measured value.

• Phase / Channel
  Select the channel whose measured value is to be used.

• Pulse valency
  Specify a value and the unit of the pulse valency.
  The pulse valency indicates how much energy (Wh or varh) corresponds to one pulse.
  

• Pulse width
  Specify the pulse width (pulse duration) in milliseconds. The typical pulse duration for S0 pulses is 30 ms.
