Wireless Solutions Topic: How Can Power Consumption be Known?

 

FAQ No. FAQ01250

 

Question

How can power consumption be known?



Answer

Problem:
The power consumption must be accurately known to manage energy savings for ISO 14001, but the existing equipment requires additional wiring. Also, data collection for each line is temporary, and so funds are not available for wiring.

Solution:
Use data collection with a combination of the WD30 DeviceNet Wireless Unit and the KM20 Power Sensor.

Reason for Using This Wireless Device:
DeviceNet Slaves can be made wireless.

Advantages of Introduction: Wiring work and costs will be reduced. The layout is unrestricted. New equipment can be easily added to existing systems.
