Tasks and reasons for visualization
In visual energy 4, you can display instantaneous values and statuses live in your browser. When it comes to energy capture, this is particularly useful for plausibility checks. With this feature, the user can always check if the captured amounts are plausible without any laborious on-site interventions.
For this purpose, displaying the values in the energy distribution is crucial. Together with information on the position of the measurement in the distribution, its exact labeling and additional information given, these values provide the responsible technician with a good overview. If, for example, the instantaneous power of a distribution measurement shows greater values than it is possible from the infrastructure (input switch, fuse, cable, etc.), the configuration is likely to be incorrect.
Supply structure
The supply structure of a medium is automatically created from the distributions that were set up, the connections and contained measurements. Use the supply structure to get a better overview and navigate to individual distributions.
If you select a medium in the project view, the distribution structure is displayed:
If you then move the mouse cursor over an element in the supply structure, its color changes. Click on the distribution to open and display it.
Energy distribution
To open the energy distribution view, either select it in the supply structure or directly select it from the project tree.

Error codes in online display
Communication between the display client browser via the operating system, the network, visual energy 4 web server, eBus master all the way to the eBus device and back is a complex process during which highly diverse events that prevent the data display might occur. To identify different causes of errors, the system generates an error code. The error codes are displayed in a defined color (orange or red) and in the format "ERR:nn" or "ERR:nn.mm".
Error-No. | Source | Description |
---|---|---|
ERR:01 | System.Exception | General error while trying to generate the WCF client. |
ERR:02 | System.Exception | Exception when establishing the connection to the WCF client. Error while accessing the function for defining the data points. This error occurs e.g. if the WCF service is not accessible (not installed, no http connection?). Solution: Check the connection, check IIS, check the installation (outdated eBus master?) |
ERR:03 | System.TimeoutException | Exception on timeout. Timeout during connection attempt. Occurs e.g. if the WCF service is accessible but causes a timeout when attempting to connect with the "eBus master communication service". Solution: Check the eBus master service and start it if necessary. |
ERR:04 | System.Exception | Exception when selecting the function for defining the data points. |
ERR:04.1 | Kbr.VisualEnergy4.EbusMaster.Common.SessionElapsedException | Is displayed if the requested session has expired. This error should disappear after a short time as a new session is created automatically. |
ERR:04.2 | Kbr.VisualEnergy4.EbusMaster.Common.SessionNotFoundException | Is displayed if the requested session does not exist. This error should disappear after a short time as a new session is created automatically. |
ERR:04.3 | System.Net.Sockets.SocketException | Is displayed in case of a network error (socket error). |
ERR:05 | System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException | Is displayed if a remote endpoint cannot be found or reached. The cause for this might be that the remote endpoint was shut down, is not accessible or the remote network is not accessible. |
ERR:06 | System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException | Is displayed if there are any problems concerning the safety functions used on a message. This exception may be caused by errors during signature verification, for example. This exception usually occurs when sending application messages (if the security context has been established completely). It might also occur if a security session is established over the original security context. |
ERR:06.1 | System.ServiceModel.Security.ExpiredSecurityTokenException | Is displayed if a CardSpace security token expires. |
ERR:06.2 | System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityAccessDeniedException | Is displayed if a safety authorization request fails. |
ERR:06.3 | System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException | Is displayed if an error occurred while the security context for a message was being defined. |
ERR:10 | no exception | The requested data point was not returned after selection. Possible causes: Does the device no longer exist? Does the data point not exist in the device? The namespace of the eBus master WCF service is not compatible with the web. |
ERR:11 | Communication with the corresponding eBus master failed repeatedly. As these timeouts affect the overall system performance, the eBus master was removed from the communication list. |
