Configuring settling time
For the KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter to achieve rapid control with a set feed-in limitation (power limitation) or zero feed-in, the settling time must be configured in the KOSTAL inverters.
This configuration is undertaken as follows:
INFO
The setting is only needed when using two or more KOSTAL solar inverters and can only be configured by installers using the personal service code.
- For PIKO 4.2-20 and PIKO EPC, using the PARAKO user software
INFO
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 applications.
Communication between inverter and KOSTAL Smart Energy Meter must be disconnected while the software is being used.
- With PIKO IQ, PLENTICORE or PLENTICORE BI via the Webserver
To do this, proceed as follows:
- In the Webserver, go to Settling time in the Service menu.
- In the PARAKO application, call up the settling time by going to Change settings > Power limitation and reactive power feed-in > Settling time (external control).
- Set the settling time to 1s.
- For external control of active power, select "Power gradient" under mode.
- Enter the value 1000 W/s in the specifications for low priority.
- Save the settings.
- The settling time has been set.
