The consumption monitor is used to log and calculate values from a physical meter using a point, called monitored variable, in the EBO server. The monitored variable can, for example, be a Modbus point or a BACnet point.
To get correct values in the consumption monitor, the consumption value in the consumption monitor must be configured to handle for example meter roll over.
For more information, see Adjusted Consumption Value .
The unit in the consumption monitor is used for calculated consumption, logging and maximum setting for meter roll over on the physical meter. To get correct values in the consumption monitor, the monitored variable must have the same unit as the active energy unit in the physical meter.
For more information, see Consumption Monitor Unit .
When you replace a physical meter, you need to make adjustment to the consumption monitor that monitor the physical meter.
For more information, see Meter Replacement .
Consumption monitors can be reset. This is typically done after you have tested a consumption monitor configuration or when you want to restart the calculation and logging in a consumption monitor.
For more information, see Reset a Consumption Monitor .
The consumption monitor can take different status and modes.
For more information, see Consumption Monitor Status and Mode .
The consumption monitor has a built in trend log. The trend log logs the output of the consumption monitor. A trend log can be presented in a trend chart or in a trend log list.
Use the calculation method Delta when you want to show consumption over periods in Dashboards, trend log lists and trend charts.
