Understanding the WatchMon - Control Logic - Remote settings
Technician admin screen for the "WatchMon" supervisor hardware to configure the targets that are transmitted to the remote/external equipment (charger/inverter).
Navigate to the screen via the Control Logic option on the Menu then choosing the Remote tab. Editing only available when in Technician mode.
Objective
- Adjust the target parameters to suit the ESS application / remote equipment.
- Monitor using the telemetry and chart screens.
Field Definitions
State: Current state from the charging control logic (Off, Limited Power, High Power).
Voltage - High: Target voltage setting to be sent to the external system when in high power / normal charging state.
Current - High: Target current setting to be sent to external system when in high power / normal charging state.
Power - High: Target power (VA) setting to be sent to external system when in high power / normal charging state.
Voltage - Limited: Target voltage setting to be sent to external system when in low / limited power charging state.
Current - Limited: Target current setting to be sent to external system when in low / limited power charging state (NOTE this value should match the continuous bypass current of the CellMon e.g. 0.9A depending on enclosure and thermal management).
Power - Limited: Target power (VA) setting to be sent to external system when in low / limited power charging state.
Voltage - Scaling: Voltage values are stored as a unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required.
Current - Scaling: Current (Amp) values are stored as a unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required.
Power - Scaling: Power (VA) values are stored as a unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required.
Flags: Current values received from the external remote system (if available).
Timestamp: Time when information was received from the external system.
Actual Voltage: Value received from the external remote system (if available).
Actual Current: Value received from the external remote system (if available).
Actual Power: Value received from the external remote system (if available).
Target Voltage: Target voltage transmitted to the external remote system.
Target Current: Target current value transmitted to the external remote system.
Target Power: Target power value transmitted to the external remote system.
Temperature: Actual temperature received from the external remote system (if available).
State: Current state from the discharging control logic (Off, Limited Power, High Power).
Voltage - High: Target voltage setting to be sent to external system when in high power / normal discharging state.
Current - High: Target current setting to be sent to external system when in high power / normal discharging state.
Power - High: Target power (VA) setting to be sent to external system when in high power / normal discharging state.
Voltage - Limited: Target voltage setting to be sent to external system when in low / limited power discharging state.
Current - Limited: Target current setting to be sent to external system when in low / limited power discharging state.
Power - Limited: Target power (VA) setting to be sent to external system when in low / limited power discharging state.
Voltage - Scaling: Voltage values are stored as a unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required.

Power - Scaling: Power (VA) values are stored as a unsigned int16 with values from 0 to 65535, these are scaled to adjust for the decimal point. When selecting the appropriate communication integration these values are remapped if required.
Flags: Current values received from the external remote system (if available).
Actual Voltage: Value received from the external remote system (if available).
Actual Current: Value received from the external remote system (if available).
Actual Power: Value received from the external remote system (if available).
Target Voltage: Target voltage transmitted to the external remote system.
Target Current: Target current value transmitted to the external remote system.
Target Power: Target power value transmitted to the external remote system.
Timestamp: Time when information was received from the external system.
Temperature: Actual temperature received from the external remote system (if available).
Action button / process link events
Edit: This button opens up fields to editing, only available when in Technician mode.
Undo: Restores values to last saved values and returns to read only mode.
Save: Saves values into system and returns to read only mode. This only works when connected by a USB. If saving whilst connected via WiFi the following Error message appears.
Default: Restore values to default.
Advanced: This allows you to change the scaling
Pressing the Edit button will make the options UNDO - SAVE and DEFAULT.
