Configuration

A device is a piece of equipment on the local network with an IP address or hostname that the Evolo Gateway is supposed to communicate with.

Add a device

The interface determines how the Evolo Gateway communicates with the device, for example via KNX, Modbus, MQTT, BACnet, or OPC-UA.

Add an interface

The fields you need to fill in depend on which interface the data point uses.

Add data points

When logging is enabled, the gateway collects values from the data point according to the selected type and interval.

Once the setup is complete, you can read values such as temperature, power, and energy, and set the desired temperature for the ovens.

Install Adax and Glamox panel heaters

SoftPLS is used to write and run custom logic in JavaScript directly on an Evolo Gateway. The logic runs cyclically based on the selected execution frequency.

Set up SoftPLS

Here's how to use the Ping app to monitor devices on your local network. The app can log the status and timestamp of data points, allowing you to track whether a device is responding and, if necessary, set up alerts.

Set Up Ping

The application retrieves electricity prices from Nord Pool and writes them to data points so they can be used in local automation systems.

Set electricity rates

Triggers are used to define rules that trigger actions when certain conditions are met.

Use the ET curve to obtain a graphical representation of the facility's energy consumption at various outdoor temperatures.

What is an ET curve?

Here's how to compare energy consumption across multiple buildings in Energy Monitoring.

Compare energy consumption across multiple buildings

Degree-day adjustment makes it easier to compare energy consumption between periods with different weather conditions. In Evolo, this is used to compare energy performance over time and across buildings in a more equitable manner.

Compare energy consumption using degree-day adjustment

In Evolo, you can display energy data hierarchically in a pie chart. This provides a visual overview of how energy consumption is distributed among the main meter and submeters.

View energy data hierarchically in a pie chart
