More information in the sidebar

The sidebar is becoming more informative in the June release:
It now provides you with an overview of the number and installed power of the listed systems. The new display replaces the “power data” portlet.

Tip: With the shortcut key “L” (list), the sidebar can be easily shown and hidden.

New KPI area in the VCOM evaluation

Key performance indicators (KPI) provide the system owner with a quick overview of their systems’ performance. The performance ratio (PR) and system availability offer special insights in particular.

This information is now available in an evaluation area in the new category called Key Performance Indicators. Other changes for the KPI area are currently being developed. Some surprises await you!

Usability: Small features, big impact

To lighten your workload and to make it as efficient as possible, we continuously refine the VCOM interface and improve its user friendliness. We would like to present in particular two improvements that will go online as part of the June release:

• The alarminfo portlet displays the relevant graphics when alarms occur. Clicking the chart icon now takes you to the evaluation area on the system level. You can perform in-depth analysis here.
   
• We have redesigned the status overview in the ticket portlet and significantly improved the structure. The subsections can be shown or hidden as needed. The system saves your settings. As a result, you will see only the information that is relevant for you.

blue’Log events in the VCOM evaluation area

The data loggers of the blue’Log X series send their status and the error codes of the inverters as event values to the VCOM. In the evaluation area, you will find these events listed in table form with the exact time stamps.

To obtain this information, you just have to use the Detail tab beneath the inverter graphics, including AC power and DC voltage.

Reminder: New graphics in the VCOM report

As we announced in the last newsletter, the graphics in your VCOM reports have been redesigned beginning with the June release: The report graphics now use the same design as the VCOM graphics.
