Energy Management (WHO 18)

Original Document

The Energy Management Functions system (WHO=18) is composed of various devices for supervision and energy control in Open Web Net protocol networks.

System Components

The system includes:

  • STOP&GO devices for electrical protection
  • Central Energy Saving units for load control and energy counters
  • Energy Saving Actuators for automated control

Each device is identified by a different WHERE address.

Event Messages

Event messages are automatically sent by devices to notify status changes, energy readings, and other monitoring data. The format follows the same structure as the corresponding request responses.

Power Monitoring Events

Automatic power updates are sent based on configured intervals:

Client ← Server: *#18*<where>*113*<Val>##

Status Change Events

Status changes trigger automatic event messages with the complete 13-bit status mask and individual bit values.

Energy Data Events

Totalizer and energy measurement events provide real-time energy consumption data according to configured reporting schedules.
