Digital output energy pulsing settings

Digital output energy pulsing settings

Parameter Values Description
Kt 0.01–1000000000

Specifies how many energy units in Wh, VARh or VAh are accumulated before an output pulse is sent to the digital output (pulse weight). For example, for Wh Del, Kt would be the amount of real energy delivered (Wh Del) per pulse.

For more information on how to calculate Kt, see Calculating the pulse weight (Kt).

Pulse Width 0.01–1.0

The minimum time (in seconds) between pulse transitions.

Pulse Width is used differently depending on the Output Mode:

  • Pulse: Pulse Width defines the on time of the pulse. If an additional pulse is received during the on time of the pulse, pulsing is suspended.
  • KYZ: Pulse Width defines the minimum length of time that the output must stay in one state before making another transition. If an additional pulse is received before the output has been in a state for one Pulse Width, pulsing is suspended.
Output Mode Pulse, KYZ

Specifies the digital output behavior:

  • Pulse: the digital output sends a complete pulse (off to on to off) when triggered.
  • KYZ: the digital output makes a state transition (off to on or on to off) when triggered.
Port Port number, Not used Specifies the digital output port being used for energy pulsing.
Pulse Overload Read-only

Feedback on the state of the digital output configured for energy pulsing.

Pulse Overload has three states:

  • Pulsing normally: the output port should be functioning.
  • Pulsing suspended: the output port is pulsing too quickly. Reduce the Pulse Width or increase Kt to decrease the frequency of the energy pulses.
  • Not connected: connect to the device to read the Pulse Overload state.
