Luqas Smart Energy Management Module (6 Functions)

• Function Description

  With Luqas, the smart energy management module (LQS06SA), you can actively control up to 70% of your large electrical appliances in your household to minimise your final bill. This module allows you to easily control a heat pump or boiler in combination with an inverter, home battery and one or two single charging stations based on information from the digital meter or kWh meter, the calculated capacity tariff, and weather and consumption forecasts. In addition, it will make maximum use of your own generated energy by buffering energy. Various applications are possible. In addition to variable power control, switching devices on or off is also possible. The module can function both independently (stand-alone) and with a Qbus controller. Everything is presented visually in a simple and controllable manner in the Qbus Control application and Cloud. The module has six functions, which are explained in more detail below: P1 readout, P1 splitting, relay control, charging station control, pulse measurement, and Cloud visualisation and control. 

  The module is powered by 230Vac and connected to the digital meter via the P1 port and is also connected to the network. All data supplied by the digital meter is processed internally by the module for energy control. In combination with a Qbus CTD controller, you can use this data in binary or analogue logic for further controls such as dynamic boiler control, accumulation controls and other applications.

  As an alternative to the digital meter with P1 port, the module can also control based on a Modbus kWh meter. In Annex 5 of this data sheet, you will find a table of compatible meters. 

  Depending on the type of connection (single-phase or three-phase), the presence of a digital gas meter and/or digital water meter, you have up to 25 parameters at your disposal: meter readings, current power, voltages, currents, gas consumption, water consumption, etc. The data readout via the P1 port of the digital meter can be combined via the pulse inputs for 1 or 2 additional kWh meters. This allows you to link the data from your electricity generation and/or main consumer(s) separately.

  The direct network connection allows you to configure this module, even when used stand-alone, via https://luqaswizard.qbuscontrol.com . The bus connection allows this module to be expanded or connected to a Qbus Full system.

  The module performs autonomous active energy control via, among other things, the two potential-free relay contacts. These contacts can be used to control Smart Grid inputs of heat pumps, or can be used directly to switch powers up to 16A per contact. A list of compatible heat pumps that have Smart Grid control can be found in Annex 1. A list of compatible heat pump boilers that have a PV contact can be found in Annex 2.

  The LQS06SA can communicate via a network connection using the MODBUS TCP/IP or Modbus RTU (RS485) protocol with charging stations, provided they are located in the same network. The module uses this to variably control the power output based on the set capacity, consumption and fuse protection. A list of compatible charging stations can be found in Appendix 3. Two charging stations can be dynamically controlled as standard.

  The LQS06SA can also communicate with an inverter and home battery via a network connection. The module not only reads parameters such as generated energy or battery status, but also actively controls the inverter: on the one hand, the module can temporarily reduce the generated power when there is injection and negative dynamic tariffs (“Curtailment”). On the other hand, the battery can also be actively charged when dynamic rates are very low and the energy can be fed back later in the day when prices are high. A list of compatible inverters can be found in Annex 4.

  This module is also equipped with a smart P1 port switch that splits the P1 data across three P1 OUT ports. In a later phase, the data from the P1 port can also be intelligently transmitted to the three P1 OUT ports. This allows devices that use P1 data to be influenced in a smart way.  

  By default, you can use the energy slider within the Qbus Control app. This feature is included in the module's functionality without restriction.  

  From the moment you start using it, you can also use additional features free of charge for six months to make you more aware of your energy consumption. You can set alerts that generate push notifications on the app, send an email and/or text message to users when the selected consumption, generation or predicted quarter-hourly peak consumption thresholds are exceeded.  Users can check the status of the controlled consumers on the Qbus Control App, adjust the consumers, and consult and download current and historical energy consumption in an intuitive way.

  These functionalities can then be activated by an annual or monthly renewal of this service or a one-off activation for an indefinite period.

  Stand-Alone Operation: 

  After the power supply is connected and the network connection is established, the Stand-Alone configuration can be done via the user-friendly configuration assistant ‘luqaswizard’: https://luqaswizard.qbuscontrol.com. Through the luqaswizard, you go through all settings in a simple way. You can set which devices are connected and what power they have. The user can then visualize and control their energy management via the Qbus Control app or Cloud. If the Luqas Control is no longer active, the module will continue to operate autonomously based on the already set values. The user receives messages well in advance to renew their account. 

  Combination with CTD 

  If the module is connected to a Qbus controller (CTD), the settings can be made via System Manager III, and the data is also usable in logic. By connecting the LQS06SA to a CTD, you have access to all functionalities possible within a Qbus system.  

  The LQS06SA has a unique serial number and activation code that is entered during configuration, in the configuration software System Manager III or via the configuration wizard. All programmed data remains internally stored in a permanent memory.

Installation and wiring

• Installation

  ATTENTION: DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE MODULE BEFORE WORKING ON THE MODULE

  Click the module onto a DIN rail DIN EN50022. 

• Power Supply

  A two-pole automatic circuit breaker with a maximum of 16A should be connected to the module's power supply of 230Vac. However, protection starting from 2A is sufficient. Conductor cross-section: minimum 1.5mm² at 16A. Strip approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductor and screw the conductor into the L-N connector. 

• Load/Relay

  The LQS06SA is equipped with 2 potential-free contacts, each capable of switching 16A. The contacts can be used for controlling Smart Grid Ready inputs on heat pumps or as individual switching contacts for controlling devices (for example, as a PV contact). You can determine the function of each relay contact via the configuration. Conductor cross-section: minimum 1.5mm² at 16A. Strip approximately 7mm of insulation from the conductor and screw the conductors into the connectors. 

   !Note: if the two relays are combined for Smart Grid, then relay 1 = SG0 and relay 2 = SG1. 

• Pulse inputs & RS485

  Strip approximately 7mm of insulation from the cable and insert the cable into push-in terminals +1 -1; +2 -2. Both solid and stranded wires between 0.5mm² – 1.5mm2 can be used. For stranded wires, press the pressure spring of the push-in terminal with a screwdriver while inserting the wire.  

  The wires can be released by pressing the pressure spring of the push-in terminal at the top with a screwdriver while simultaneously pulling the wire out without exerting excessive force. 

• Ethernet

  Connect the network cable that establishes a connection to the internet and the charging station via the network, if it communicates with the energy management module using the TCP/IP protocol. 

• P1 ports

  Connect to the P1 IN using the supplied RJ12 cable (crossed, 5m) with the P1 port of the digital meter. The maximum length of the crossed RJ12 cable can be up to 20 meters. The other P1 ports (P1 01, P1 02, and P1 03) pass the original P1 data directly through. 

• Activation P-port

  The Luqas has 2 relay outputs. These can be used to control a heat pump with Smart Grid contacts or to separately control a boiler.

  By setting a power level for each device, the Luqas can manage your device if there is power injection. This ensures that no energy flows to the grid if it can be stored in your installation.

  Smart Grid ready heat pumps

  Heat pumps can be operated more energy-efficiently thanks to Smart Grid contacts. These contacts enable energy to be thermally buffered (in domestic hot water or space heating) or household energy consumption to be distributed by temporarily switching off the heat pump. By optimizing the use of an air/water heat pump during the day, it can operate up to 20% more efficiently on average, consuming less energy while increasing your self-consumption. 

  The switching of the two relay contacts depends on the type of heat pump, the currently generated or consumed energy, and the end-customer's setting on the energy slider (distribution of energy consumption). Not every regime is available for every type or brand of heat pump.

  3. Click Add outputs to keep graphs of other Qbus outputs.

• Configuration of the inputs

  The LQS06SA is a DIN-rail module that can read data from the P1 port of a digital energy meter (BE and NL) and visualize it on universal I/Os.
   

  After entering the serial number (in our example an EMM03 with s/n 0017 B00017), the following screen appears:

  In the setup box in the upper right corner, you can first set whether you have a single or multiple hour tariff (also known as day-night tariff), whether injection is included (solar panels, battery, ...), whether a gas meter is connected, whether you have a 1-phase or 3-phase grid, and whether the LQS06SA is connected to a Belgian or Dutch P1 port.

  After checking the correct parameters and clicking the “Read status” button, you will see all values from the smart meter.

  Values in red are consumption, and values in green are injections into the grid.

  To view these values in the Cloud, it is not necessary to create Qbus I/Os. These values can be seen on qbuscontrol.com via the choice "Energy". If you want to process the data yourself in analog logic or switch other relays on the bus, you need to assign I/Os to each desired parameter. When you click on the + symbol next to an I/O, the following question appears:

  When you click "No," you can create or assign an individual I/O to the selected parameter.

  If you answer "Yes" here, all I/Os can be created simultaneously via the following window:

  Verify that all setup parameters are correct, adjust the desired start of the names if necessary, and then click "Create I/Os".

  All individual I/Os that were not yet assigned in the module will be created with the correctly set type, minimum, maximum, multiplier, and unit for a standard home.

  The screen of the consumption for a dual hourly rate will then look as follows:

  All energy values are displayed by the LQS06SA with a resolution of 0.1 kWh, instantaneous power has a resolution of 0.001 kW (= 1 Watt). Voltages are accurate to 0.1 V and currents to 0.01 A.

  Each time the difference from a previously sent value exceeds the set hysteresis and the "Dead time" has elapsed, the new value will be sent to the controller.

  The power is standard set at a maximum of 10 kW, the current at 40 A.

  If your installation has larger (or smaller) consumers than usual, you can still adjust the minimum and maximum value for each I/O so that the gauge on the cloud looks better.

• Controlling a Smart Grid heat pump

  When you check the "Smart Grid heat pump" button in the "I/O" tab, you can select your device type and enter the power capacities:

  The 2 relays will set the heat pump to the correct mode according to the injection power using the 2 relays.

  Some types of heat pumps do not support every mode. New known and supported types will also be automatically added online later. If your heat pump type is not listed, do not hesitate to notify Qbus so that common types can be supported more quickly.

• Controlling 2 independent relay outputs

  When you uncheck the "Smart Grid heat pump" button in the "Output" tab, you can set which I/O you control with relay 1 and relay 2.

  Here you can also enter the power in kW that this I/O consumes.  The relay will activate when there is more injection than this set power and will deactivate as soon as the consumption is more than 50% of the set power.

• Charging station setup

  Through the penultimate Tab, you can configure your charging station(s).

  Provide a name, select the correct brand and model, maximum power, minimum charging current, IP address or hostname where the charging station has been configured, and the connected phase(s).
  The LQS06SA will then manage the charging according to the settings. More information can also be found through the Wizard settings.

• Setup

  In the last Tab, you can adjust a few more settings:

  Enter the maximum power of the main fuse here, the maximum power of your solar panels/battery/wind turbine, and the maximum power you wish to achieve. These latter values depend on your consumers and can be realistically set by the installer. More information about this can be found in the explanation of the LQS Wizard.
