Compact and Cost Effective Power Measurement in the PLC or distributed I/O node
|
Implementing power measurement initiatives as part of your machine, process, or building has always been expensive and time consuming. Typical implementations include a stand-alone system costing thousands of dollars, as well as additional networking to the existing control system (PLC or PC), separate power feeds and mounting requirements.
Understanding this dilemma, as well as the need to implement power measurement to help reduce business costs, WAGO developed the 750-493 Series 3-Phase Power Measurement Module for the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM. Being 100% compatible with all WAGO bus-couplers (except ECO), controllers, and I/O modules, the 750-493 offers the ability to implement power measurement directly in the PLC or distributed I/O node. The resulting is a cost effective power measurement system that can be networked to more than 16 industrial protocols, including Ethernet, Profibus, Modbus, and DeviceNet.

At just 12mm wide, the 750-493 operates as a six-channel analog input module with 3 channels dedicated to voltage and 3 channels to current. Voltage and current values are measured to compute power network analysis such as effective power, energy consumption, and power factor. Both 1 and 5-amp versions are available to accommodate standard CT signal types.
