The FCI receives electricity prices for the next day once daily via a web interface. It also outputs the
current, lowest, highest, and average daily electricity price.
The required function data must be generated using the configuration tool
transferred to the FCI (see chapter "Loading function data" on page 3). Instructions for this are found
with the configuration tool. Custom Python scripts can also be used.
Use of the configuration tool is necessary either way. The FCI always works with the generated func-
tion data. Custom Python scripts must also be entered into the configuration tool.
This manual is meant for installation and commission. The creation and use of function data for the
FCI, as well as the handling of the configuration tool, are explained in the online help page.
