Syntax

PDLDAT(ptname,minon,minoff,maxoff,kwval)

ptname

Point name of the load.

minon

Minimum time (in minutes) that the load must remain ON after PDL has restored it.

- This parameter must be less than 546 and can be defined as a decimal, integer, point name, or a local variable.

minoff

Minimum time (in minutes) that the load must remain OFF before PDL can restore it.

- This parameter must be less than 546 and can be defined as a decimal, integer, point name, or a local variable.

maxoff

Maximum time (in minutes) that PDL can keep the load off after shedding it.

- This parameter can be a decimal, integer, point name, or a local variable.

- The maximum allowable value of maxoff is (minoff + 546).

kwval

Kilowatt value for the load.

- This parameter can be a decimal, integer, point name, or a local variable.

Use

Defines the minimum on-time, minimum off-time, maximum off-time, and kilowatt value for a specific load.

A group of PDLDAT commands in a load handling automation station are controlled by a single PDL command that defines load parameters and maintains a certain level of kilowatt use (or target) for a group of loads.

Notes

  • In a network system, a load defined by a PDLDAT statement must reside in the same automation station as the PDL statement.
  • A PDLDAT statement is referenced by only one PDL statement. Using multiple references produces unpredictable results.
  • The PDLDAT statement should be in the same automation station as the load.
