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).

Use ambiguous abbreviations.

Use overly technical terminology.

Use inconsistent naming schemes.

Device type	Example device name	Do	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
