Using Incremental Energy
Incremental energy accumulation begins at the specified start time and ends at the
specified end time. When the start time arrives, a new incremental energy period begins.
The start and end time are specified in minutes from midnight. For example:
Interval: 420 minutes (7 hours)
Start time: 480 minutes (8:00 a.m.)
End time = 1440 minutes (12:00 p.m.)
The first incremental energy calculation will be from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (7 hours) as
illustrated in Figure C–2. The next interval will be from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and the
third interval will be from 10 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. because 12:00 p.m. is the specified end
time. A new interval will begin on the next day at 8:00 a.m. Incremental energy
accumulation will continue in this manner until the configuration is changed or a new
interval is started by a remote master.
• Set up—To set up incremental energy:
1. Write command code 9020 to register 8000.
2. In register 3230, write a start time (in minutes-from-midnight).
3. For example, 8:00 am is 480 minutes.
4. In register 3231, write an end time (in minutes-from-midnight).
5. Write the desired interval length, from 0–1440 minutes, to register 3229.
6. If incremental energy will be controlled from a remote master, such as a
programmable controller, write 0 to the register.
7. Write 1 to register 8001.
8. Write command code 9021 to register 8000.
• Start—To start a new incremental energy interval from a remote master, write
command code 6910 to register 8000.

1st Interval (7 hours) = 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m
2nd Interval (7 hours) = 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m
3rd Interval (2 hours) = 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m
