  • Unbind from the entity removes the connection betweenthe metering point andan entity.

6. Polling tab allows you to change the parameters of polling for the metering device.7. Control tab allows to send commands to the metering device. The available functions are:

  • Relay control is for switching off/on the metering device;
  • Setting the power limit is for adjusting the parameters of the energy consumption limit;
  • Setting the date/time on the device is for setting the date and time parameters on the metering device;
  • Time adjustment on the device is to adjust the time adjustment already set on the metering device.

The standard number of attempts is 1 for all tasks by Controlling. 8. Events tab contains a list of all events related to the metering device.

List of created events

Events are divided into 2 categories:

  1. List of triggered events
  2. List of created events

Available functions:

  • Adding a new event creates an event associated with the selected device;
  • Toggle switch Active enables/disables the event;
  • Data views the data of the device on which the event was triggered;

  • Edit changes the general information and conditions of the event.

Displayed information:

  • Active tab shows the activity of the event at the moment;
  • ID is the identification number of the event in the system;
  • Name means the name of the event specified by the user when creating;
  • Event type – all events are divided intoEvents for lack of activity andEvents according to the data. This column displays which of these types an event from the list belongs to;
  • Notification type is omnichannel notifications. There are 4 types of notifications:
    • Voice notification – the system will call you on the phone and tell you by voice what happened in the system;
    • SMS notification uses the SMS center to send information about the triggered event;

To get Voice messages and SMS, you need to register yourself in the SMS center (e-vostok.ru , smsc.ru), top up the balance and activate the integration with the SMS center in Company settings of the system.

    • Email Notification — the system sends you a notification letter to the email address;

  • Repetition — this column displays the selected method of repeating the notification (Once, Repeat, Smart repetition)

When you click on the event line, the list of devices that are being monitored will open.

9. Attributes tab contains a list of all device attributes and a function Add attribute is to create a new device attribute.

Attributes fall into two categories:

Systemic – affecting the operation of reports, external systems (LoRa servers, data collection and accounting systems);
Custom – created by users for various purposes, mainly for displaying specific information in reports.

Functions:

Add attribute – to create a new device attribute;
Delete attribute (tank icon) – to delete an existing attribute. 10. Transformers tab allows to view and add information on current/voltage transformers through which the metering device is connected. To save the added information, you need to click on the corresponding button in the interface. 11. The MP log tabdisplays a list of events related to (activity log) the metering point.
