8.1.11.1 General
Name: Load name.
Maximum value: Theoretical maximum power value of load. This value is considered when
connecting the load.
Instantaneous value: Instantaneous power value of the load. This power must be read by a
power analyzer or unit that calculates this variable. If there is no measurement unit, the value to
be entered must be the same as the maximum theoretical value. This value is taken into
account when disconnecting the load.
Enabled: Allows you to enable/disable the load. If the value is 1 (or positive) it means that the
load is available for power control. If the value is 0 (or negative) it means that the load is not
available for power control (disabled) and is disconnected. This can be used as manual load
disconnection.
If the load is disabled, a grey icon will be displayed in the client and no actions will be
permitted with the load in the load action window.
Variation factor %: Percentage value that causes the power of the load to vary so that the
consumption in the simulation is not constant (0% – 20%).
8.1.11.2 Load group
Group to which the load belongs. A load must necessarily belong to a single group.
If the user has not created a group previously to which to associate the load or if the load should
be assigned to a new group, you can access the group creation menu directly with the Add
group button.
8.1.11.3 Time (seconds)
Maximum disconnection time: Maximum time that the load can be disconnected.
Minimum disconnection time: Minimum time that the load must be disconnected.
Minimum connected time: Minimum time that the load must be connected.
8.1.11.4 Control
The inputs used to control the status of the loads and outputs used for actions on them must be
configured in the following fields.
Status control: Variable used to read the status of the load. Normally an input in a local or
remote unit is used, wiring the status of the relay that controls the load. If the status of the relay
that controls the load has not been wired, the same output can be configured, although this
does not guarantee having accurate information on the load status.
Action control: Variable used to modify the status of the load. Normally a unit output is used,
either local or remote, which acts directly on the load or on an actuator that regulates the load.
8.1.11.5 Load deactivation calendar
This section allows you to configure time intervals when you want the loads to remain
disconnected and, therefore, outside the power control system.
