Device interface
This is used to select the interface to connect the device. Choices: USB (COM port) or Eth-
ernet. For Ethernet, it requires to enter a valid, PC accessible IP that is currently assigned
to the device either manually or by DHCP. The port seng must match the one in the
menu on the HMI.

immediately aer closing the Conguraon window.

5.2.1 Actual values
Similar to the value coloring on the device’s display, the actual
values are separated from each other, being labeled accordingly
to what they show.
Refreshing of these values is cyclic. High CPU load can, however, delay cyclic refreshing. Especially if there are mulple sowares
running. The value format shall always match the format on the display of your device(s). Due to the internal translaon from per
cent values to real values the last digit can be dierent. This also applies for data recording (i.e. logging, see below).
• Actual values are only read from the device(s) and are always available, even if the device is not in remote control.
• While the simulaon is stopped the area “Baery Voltage” will always show the voltage on the DC terminal, even
when the DC terminal is switched o, because the voltage may come from an external source.
5.2.2 Status 1
Baery and baery simulaon status share two areas. The
le-hand area shows the current simulaon state, Charging or
Discharging that is, and the baery state of charge (SOC) in per
cent and also as green bar.
Before the simulaon is started, the SOC value will be idencal to the one in the setup below, but will change during runme. The
SOC usually decreases when discharging is simulated and increases while charging.
