Glossary

TAG type that creates new calculated values by combining multiple TAGs. Works formula-based.

Data collection and summarization process. Functions like SUM (total), AVG (average), MIN (minimum), MAX (maximum).

Application Programming Interface - Interface for inter-application communication. Data exchange is done with Smart Energy backend API.

Server-side software. Database operations, PLC communication and business logic run on backend.

Navigation element showing page location. E.g: Home > Documentation > TAGs

Card component showing TAG values on Dashboard. Performs real-time value display.

Dashboard card performing cost calculations. Works formula-based and has currency support.

Scheduled task execution system. Enables formulas to run automatically at specific times.

User custom visualization panel. Created with COST, CARD and GRAPH components.

Data storage area in Siemens PLCs. TAG addresses are defined in DB format.

System definition of PLCs, sensors or other industrial devices. Basic building block for Stations.

Rule system that performs automatic intervention by monitoring TAG values. Works in condition-action structure.

Feature of using last recorded value in case of data loss or value decrease. Useful for metrics that should not be reset (e.g. electricity, water, gas meters). If no data or value drops, system uses last known value.

Data visualization component on Dashboard. Supports chart types like Line, Bar, Pie.

Human Machine Interface - Interface where operators monitor and control the system.

Register type that can be read/written in Modbus protocol. Address format: 4xxxx

Key Performance Indicator - Metrics measuring business performance.

Industrial communication protocol. Has TCP/IP and RTU (serial port) versions.

Unique identification number (Slave ID) identifying slave device in Modbus protocol. Each Modbus device must have unique Node ID/Unit ID on network. Value range: 1-247

Notification system for formula execution results. Has two views: Logs and List.

OLE for Process Control - Industrial data communication standard. Has UA (modern) and DA (old) versions.

Programmable Logic Controller - Industrial automation device.

Data reading process at specific intervals. TAGs are updated with polling.

Physical chassis number in Siemens PLCs. Usually takes value 0.

Feature of automatically saving TAG values to database. Required for historical data analysis.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System.

Siemens PLC family. Includes S7-300, S7-400, S7-1200, S7-1500 series.

CPU slot number in Siemens PLCs. Usually 2 for S7-300/400, 1 for S7-1200/1500.

Fixed value TAG. Not read from PLC, used as coefficient in formulas.

Device connection point definition. Contains parameters like IP address, port, rack, slot.

Data point definition. Represents values read from or written to PLCs.

Category system to group TAGs. Supports hierarchical structure.

Parameter determining how often TAG value will be read. In milliseconds.

TAG with write feature active. Value can be changed through Smart Energy.

TAG writing feature based on formula result (true/false). Used for automatic intervention.
