How should the metrics used in the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) dashboard of the TSD Dashboard Library be named?

The dashboards in the TSD Dashboard Library already do a lot of the work for you.

In order for the dashboard to interpret these metrics correctly, the variables must be named correctly. Below you will find the correct naming of the variables so that they can be displayed automatically in the dashboard.

Note: Before you can see data in any dashboards, the metrics must be activated in the Device Management Service. Only then can they also be used in the Time Series Data Service.

Names of the metrics for the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) dashboard of the TSD Dashboard Library

FunctionMetric nameExplanation
