A “LOG” can moreover be run in parallel in order to evaluate values over a specific time
period. Alternatively the control offers web visualisation, to which one can “surf” or the
page or pages can also be integrated in other visualisation packages to display them
there.
If the collection will is realized via analogue values, bear in mind the DPT (e.g. 9.001 for
temperature / °C) in order to avoid any misinterpretation.
The whole installation is completed by a heat meter, which registers the circulating
volume and the thermal energy. In this way solar thermal energy values can be easily
integrated into KNX, as such heat meters are smart meters, as described above.

6.2 Photovoltaic

We speak of photovoltaic systems when solar energy is used as a basis to generate
renewable energy.
