Procedure - Manual - Energy Manager - Industrial Edge - Industrial Edge App

To define energy media, follow these steps:

1. Select an asset in My Plant. The overview of the dashboards for the asset is displayed.
2. Click "Add dashboard" and select "Energy media".
   
3. Click "New row" to specify an energy medium.
   

4. Assign a parameter to each energy medium. You can assign either an individual parameter that represents the respective energy medium or you can enable the "Sub-asset" button.
   

   Sub-asset

   Enable the "Sub-asset" button when you have selected an energy medium in a higher-level asset of My Plant and want to show, for example, the energy consumption not only with the value of a single variable but the entire energy consumption of all lower-level assets.

5. In addition, you can also assign a reference value to each energy medium/parameter pair:
   
   By assigning a reference, you define the energy medium more precisely. You can define, for example, that an asset consumes electricity. To do so, you assign the variable for electricity consumption "Electricity_Consumption" to the energy medium "Electricity" on the asset. You can also assign the variable for bottling "Filled_bottles" as a reference, for example, and calculate how much electricity was consumed per filled bottle (UnitConsumption = energy consumption per unit).

6. Click "Save".
   You switch to the dashboard overview.
