tain a functional error messaging criterion. We are therefore opening up a range in which two read values can occur. This requires two formulas for calculating straight curves, which form the upper and lower limits of a plausible range. -0,4-0,20,20,40,60,81,21,401002003004005006007008009001000Einstrahlung in [W/m²]Leistung in [kW]idealGrenze untenGrenze obengültiger BereichStörmeldung:obere GernzüberschreitungStörmeldung:untere GernzüberschreitungTo gain more freedom and flexibility when selecting a range, two different gradients can be defined.

KACO new energy 34 Operators Instructions KACO-proLOG8.4 Programming criteria based on the example of an inverter comparison In this example the daily yield of INV4 is compared to that of INV5 and in case of a power anomaly an alarm will be activated. Varios kinds of inverters can be compared. Please create relations in the settings and activate the criteria. Then enter if you wish to calculate the criterion at each logging interval or once per day. In the field formula settings, e

nter the daily yield abbreviation of the respective inverter under x,y. (In our example this is EINV_3, E_INV4). The shift of addresses results from the fact the proLOG addresses start with 0 (daily energy of INV 5 EINV_4). This value is subsequently divided by the installed generator capacity, thus allowing a comparison of the values of different inverters. The upper and lower limits can be set under item c; the gradient is set under item m. The gradient may remain unchanged in most cases.
