Naming guideline
Last modified:
Tip
We recommend the following guidelines for naming devices, subsystems, and other items to avoid confusion and errors.
Do
Use names that are as short as possible but as long as necessary
Use clear designations that describe the function or location
When numbering devices or subsystems, ensure the number of digits used is consistent (for example, Inverter 01 instead of Inverter 1).
Don’t
❌ Use ambiguous abbreviations
❌ Use overly technical terms
❌ Use inconsistent naming schemes
Device type | Example device name |
| ❌ Don’t |
|---|---|---|---|
Meter | Enerwise EM3250 | Import/Export Station 1 | iEM3255 Meter |
Meter | Enerwise UMG 600 | Production PV Station 1 | Meter |
Sensor | Enerwise 1000: MI-1 | Temp. Module Station 1 | PT1000 MI 1 |
Sensor | Enerwise Si-12TC-T MX-1: MI-1 BM: MI-4 | Irradiance/Temp. Module West Station 1 | Si-12TC-T 1 |
Sensor | Enerwise 1000 with integrated converter MX-1: MI-2 | Temp. Ambient Station 1 | Sensor |
Inverter | Enerwise X350 (total of 11 inverters installed at the site) | INV 01 INV 02 … INV 11 | INV 1 INV 2 … INV 11 |
