FAQ's KCI 4 S0

What is the difference between KES and KCI?

KES allows the measurement of electric consumptions by using its current transformer.

KCI gets the measurement value through the S0 pulses, therefore it is possible to get this measurement value from counters with S0 pulses output. It makes possible to monitor the electricity but also the gas and/or water consumption.

In the following scheme the measurement possibilities are shown:

Wird der Wert einer internen Variablen zwischen verschieden Aufrufen von logischen Funktionen gespeichert?

Ja, wird sie. Der Wert der Variablen wird auch bei Spannungsausfall gespeichert und kann ebenfalls in verschiedenen logischen Funktionen verwendet werden.

Ist es möglich, mehrere logische Funktionen zu verketten, um komplexe Problematiken zu lösen?

Ja, dies ist möglich. Falls das gleiche Objekt genutzt wird, um mehrere Funktionen auszulösen, werden diese in einer Sequenz ausgeführt und es ist ebenfalls möglich, Werte von einer Funktion zu einer anderen weiterzugeben, indem man interne Variablen nutzt.

Can I use the same Logical Function variables in different operations?

Yes, this is possible; just have on mind that the value stored in the variable changes when executing any operation in which it is involved, and this inevitably will affect the rest of operations using this same variable.

All my Group Address associations with the Logical Function Communication objects disappeared. What happened?

This happens in the modules of 5 logical functions, where you need to input the number of Total Data Entry objects of each type in parameters. If you need to increase those parameters of Total Data entry objects onces you have made all the Logical Function Group Address associations, you will lose those associations.

WE ALWAYS RECOMMEND to define some more additional objects than the strictly necessary in the Logical Functions, as a later redefinition involves the deletion of the possible Group Address associations already made, with the consequent loss of time when having to associate them again.

In the modules of 10 logical functions, each Data Entry is enabled independently, avoiding the lose of associations when you need a different number of Data Entry objects.

When is it possible to use KCI?

KCI is used as interface for meters in accordance with S0 (UNE-EN-62053-31) standard.              They must have a minimum pulse length of 30ms. KCI can even monitor meters that don’t satisfy the S0 standard. However this is not guaranteed – previous testing is encouraged. 

Which are the sizes of the KCI communication objects?

It will be necessary to select the correct indicator to display properly each value.
