Hello
We have a 3 phase machine where we need to log the power use during every run of a process.
Each run can last anywhere from 30min to 5 hours.
Machine can consume 0-20A at 400VAC 3PH 50Hz
We would like to save each runs log as an individual CSV file which can be downloaded over the Ethernet network.
The machine consists of:
Allen Bradley 1769-L30ER PLC
Beijer IX T12B HMI Panel
EW@on 4005CD VPN Router
All on Ethernet.
I need some help/advice in figuring out the best way to log 3 phase power consumption for every run of a process.
Need to log Volts, Amps, KVA, Whrs, time stamp.
What Power Meter should I buy?
Allen Bradley Powermonitor 1000
Allen Bradley Powermonitor 5000
Any other good options?
We need something that will start and stop logging from a PLC trigger. Network or dry contact trigger ok.
Should I log to PLC SD card or to Beijer panel.. which has USB and SD storage as well as a SQL server option (no experience with this)
What is the best way to log this data?
I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone with experience could offer. Thank You.
