Displaying energy consumption
The SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy entry screen provides an easy-to-interpret overview of the
energy consumption of the machine. To display the values and the graphical representation,
a Sentron PAC must be connected and a long-term measurement configured.
This shows a consumption display with the following bar chart:
● Current power display
● Measurement of the current energy consumption
● Comparison measurement for the energy consumption

Display in the "Machine" operating area
The first row of the status display shows the current power status of the machine.
A red bar indicates that the machine is not operating productively.
A dark-green bar in the positive direction indicates that the machine is operating
productively and consuming energy.
A light-green bar in the negative direction indicates that the machine is feeding
energy back into the power supply system.
Information on the configuration is provided in the following reference:
