Energy Pulse
Rate
The energy values are always transmitted
as counter values (i.e. as integer numbers).
This setting defines the unit: If “1” is set
then each counter increment is 1 kWh, if “2”
is set then each counter increment is 2
kWh,etc. The setting “0” has the effect that
no energy values are transmitted.
0 - 100 0 [Device Para
/IEC 103]
DFC-Compat. This setting is only required for certain
substation implementations. If there should
be communication problems related to the
Command Response Queue this setting
switches the device over to a different
behavior.
