Configuring settling time

For the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter to achieve a rapid type of control with a set feed-in limitation (power limitation) or zero feed-in, the settling time must be configured in all KOSTAL inverters.

To do this, proceed as follows:

  1. For the PIKO IQ, PLENTICORE plus or PLENTICORE BI:
    Go to Service > Settling time via the Webserver.

    For the PIKO 4.2-20 (FW >= 05.00) and PIKO EPC:
    Using the PARAKO user software, call up the settling time by going to Change settings > Power limitation and reactive power feed-in > Settling time (external control). More information about the PARAKO parameterisation software for PIKO inverters can be found on our homepage in the download area for your product under Operating manual application.
  3. Set the settling time (1) to 1s.
  4. For external control of active power, select Power gradient under Mode (2).
  5. In the specifications for max. power gradient, enter 250 W/s as the value for high priority (3) and 1000 W/s for low priority (4).
  6. Save the settings.
  1. The settling time has been set.
