KEY HIGHLIGHTS
- More flexible connector configuration with support for dynamic allocation in advanced settings.
- Clearer and more consistent configuration of grid control IO thanks to a dedicated interface type dropdown.
- Improved validation and visual consistency in meter/grid-related settings, reducing configuration mistakes.
- Capacity handling aligned with reported values, reducing confusion and risk of mismatch between UI and actual system behaviour.
NEW & IMPROVED FUNCTIONALITY
Dynamic allocation in connector advanced configuration
Issue: FLEX-213 – “Dynamic Allocation in connector advanced config”
Summary:
Introduces support for configuring dynamic allocation directly in the connector’s advanced configuration. This gives operators more granular control over how capacity and power are allocated per connector, enabling more flexible and optimised setups without needing manual workarounds.
Grid Control IO interface type selection
Issue: FLEX-421 – “Add dropdown for setting the Interface Type of Grid Control IO”
Summary:
Adds a dedicated dropdown to define the interface type for Grid Control IO. This makes it easier to configure and understand how the grid control is connected and operated, reducing ambiguity in setup and making IO configuration more self-explanatory.
Consistent endian dropdown formatting
Issue: FLEX-466 – “Visual improvement, unify format of endian dropdown in gridcontrol and powermeter”
Summary:
Aligns the visual format and labelling of the endian dropdown between Grid Control and Powermeter configurations. By unifying how this option is presented, the UI becomes more predictable and reduces the risk of selecting the wrong setting due to inconsistent visuals.
Read register interval validation improvements
Issue: FLEX-469 – “Read register interval validation change”
Summary:
Updates the validation logic for the read register interval to better reflect valid and recommended values. This helps prevent incorrect or unsafe polling intervals, supporting more stable communication with meters and other devices and reducing the likelihood of misconfiguration.
BUG FIXES
Capacity configuration now aligned with reported capacity
Issue: FLEX-219 – “delete configured capacity in the flow and replace with reported capacity”
Fix:
Removes reliance on a separately configured capacity in the flow and instead uses the actual reported capacity. This eliminates discrepancies between configured and real capacity, ensuring that calculations and behaviour in the UI reflect the real system state and reducing the chance of confusion during operation.
USER IMPACT
Operators / Control Hub users
- Easier and more precise connector setups thanks to dynamic allocation options in advanced configuration.
- Clearer grid control IO configuration via an explicit interface type selector.
- Reduced UI confusion through consistent dropdown formatting between grid control and powermeter settings.
- More accurate capacity information in the UI, aligned with what the system actually reports.
System integrators / advanced configuration users
- More control over allocation strategies at connector level, supporting advanced and optimised configurations.
- Safer and more predictable device communication due to improved read register interval validation.
- Fewer surprises caused by mismatches between configured and real capacity, simplifying troubleshooting and commissioning.
