Connecting the SmartLogger to a Ripple Control Receiver
This topic describes how to connect the SmartLogger to a ripple control receiver.
Context
In Germany and some European areas, a ripple control receiver is used to convert a power grid scheduling signal to a dry contact signal, in which a dry contact is required.
When active power remote control and reactive power remote control are supported, only one out of the four outputs of each ripple control receiver can be closed.
Procedure
- Select a cable of appropriate length and connect one end of a cable to the ripple control receiver.
- Connect the other end to the DI port in the SmartLogger.
For details, see 2–4 in Procedure in Connecting the RS485 Signal SPD.
To enable a normal power grid scheduling function, you need to set the corresponding parameters (Active Power Control or Reactive Power Control) on the embedded WebUI. For details, see Power Grid Scheduling.
