PAB
The PAB (Power Analyzing Block) define sets of conditions for measured variables (current, voltage, S0 pulses etc.). Various rules can be set based on these conditions. Rules can perform actions such as sending alarm to the Cloud service, restarting outputs, etc. The PAB condition output is also available for use in selected protocols.
Types
There are two types of PAB available:
- RANGE - Evaluation YES/NO (TRUE/FALSE)
- ZONE - Evaluation using specified intervals
Each type uses specific variables and is described in detail below.
PABs can work with the specified quantities:
- Current: OUTPUTS/1/CURRENT [mA]
- Load: OUTPUTS/8/LOAD [W]
- Energy: OUTPUTS/4/POWER [Wh]
- Output no. 1 state: OUTPUTS/1/STATE [int 0/1]
General structure for defining a variable is: <INPUT/OUTPUT>/ID/<monitored variable>
PAB - RANGE
True/False-based evaluation. If the monitored value is in specified interval for a time period defined in timeHysteresis, PAB evaluates to TRUE. Otherwise it evaluates to FALSE.
Structure
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | RANGE | PAB type |
| source | OUTPUTS/x/(LOAD/CURRENT/POWER) INPUTS/x/STATE |
The monitored variable. x indicates input / output number. |
| timeHysteresis | int | [s] Monitored value must be present in defined interval for amount of time defined here.
Eg: If the time hysteresis is equal to 5, monitored value must be within a defined interval for at least 5s. Only then it will be evaluated. |
| lowerBound | int | lower bound of the monitored value |
| upperBound | int | upper bound of the monitored value |
PAB - ZONES
Zone-based evaluation. 1 or more zones can be set. Zones are divided using the values specified in the thresholds variable.
Monitored value must be present in defined interval for amount of time defined here. The PAB condition is evaluated as a number (integer) equal to the interval order.
Eg. At two specified intervals, the PAB value can be 0, 1, or 2.
Structure
| Variable | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | ZONE | PAB type |
| source | OUTPUTS/x/(LOAD/CURRENT/POWER) INPUTS/x/STATE |
The monitored variable. x indicates input / output number. |
| timeHysteresis | int | [s] Monitored value must be present in defined interval for amount of time defined here.
Eg: If the time hysteresis is equal to 5, monitored value must be within a defined interval for at least 5s. Only then it will be evaluated. |
| thresholds | list[int] | lower-bounds of individual zones intervals |
