Parameterizing contract hour in enSuite: A gas day lasts 24 hours and by default begins at 06:00.
If another contract hour is contractually agreed to, you can adjust the default. Optionally, the enCore
device can manage a further contract with another contract hour.
To change the default open the branch Time Service. On the Parameter tab, select one of the
following entries from the drop-down menu in the Contract hour area:
• single contract – default
• two contracts
If you have selected two contracts, the parameter Contract hour 2 will also be displayed.
• Select the time for the contract hour for the first or single contract from the drop-down
menu Contract hour – default is 06:00.
• Where applicable, select the time for the start of day for the second contract from the
drop-down menu Contract hour 2 – default is 08:00.
The enCore device provides various contract hour specific events in the export branch Basic
System – Time Service – Contract hour: <single contract/two contracts>.
8.4.7. Changing units and adjusting display formats in the Unit Service SFB
The Unit Service SFB manages physical quantities and their respective units in the enCore devices.
It contains all physical quantities that are typically required. The pre-defined units are based on
the SI-System and the conventions and rules of the NIST.
Features of default units are:
• Identified with an asterisk (*).
• Used as a pre-assigned value
The associated default unit is used as a pre-assigned value if you, for example, allocate a
physical quantity to an input or output channel first. Alternatively, you can select another
unit from the set of units for a physical quantity in a targeted manner for parameters or
export values You can change units of parameters on the Parameter tabs and units of
export values on the Export value tabs.
• Automatically updated
If you change a default unit, the new default unit will automatically be updated in all of the
parameterization for all of the values which use this default unit.
• Displayed twice
A unit which is defined as a default unit is displayed twice in the set of units for the
physical quantity to which it is allocated: once as a default unit and once as a "normal" unit.
It is therefore possible to use the "normal" unit for individual parameters or export values
and therefore avoid the unit being automatically adapted due to a change in default unit.
