This article provides details about how an ei3 admin should configure data points and data tags on a machine for use with the SUSTAIN badges available in dashboards that are displayed on the INSIGHTS Overview page in ei3. To learn more about the SUSTAIN badges, please see the article INSIGHTS – Overview Page: SUSTAIN Badges.
The SUSTAIN badge will only be available for machines that have active subscriptions for the SUSTAIN application. Additionally, several data points must be correctly defined on the machine. This article explains how to do so.
Required Data Points
The following data points are required in order for the SUSTAIN badge to show total production and energy consumption, as well as to calculate the carbon emissions.
- Tag Type: Production material total count delta
Value: Material produced (delta)
Units: Machine “units of production” - Tag Type: Power Active Positive Delta
Value: Electrical energy consumed (delta)
Note: This is sometimes referred to as “Active” energy, and if so, should be the positive component only.
Units: Wh, kWh, or MWh
Optional Data Points
The following data points are optional, and should be used only if there is a pneumatic or other system on the machine that is both consuming energy, and the energy consumption is measured and collected by ei3.
- Tag Type: Pneumatic Energy Total Delta
Value: Energy consumed by pneumatic system (delta)
Units: Wh, kWh, or MWh - Tag Type: Other Energy 1 Delta
Value: Energy consumed by other system 1 (delta)
Units: Wh, kWh, or MWh - Tag Type: Other Energy 2 Delta
Value: Energy consumed by other system 2 (delta)
Units: Wh, kWh, or MWh - Tag Type: Other Energy 3 Delta
Value: Energy consumed by other system 3 (delta)
Units: Wh, kWh, or MWh
