Monitor Equipment Power Consumption with Siemens 3VA6 Circuit Breaker

[@dbarker79]

Its not fair for one man to have so much fun. Thats some really cool kit.

[@TimWilborne]

It really is. Wait till you see the data that you can get out of it

[@juliollontop4812]

I am more on the control/process side of then electrical word, I wonder what benefits will the power people will get collecting these data. Thanks T man,

[@TimWilborne]

We'll see. I'm really curious what we will learn about power consumption with it

[@tankspl7]

I prefer Phoenix Contact Caporac CB system with Profinet. A lot more data and less space. 24V though.

[@TimWilborne]

They are nice

Tim. When ru going to push more Tia portal vs Allen Bradley. I’ve used both and I think Siemens is about 2 generations ahead of ab

[@TimWilborne]

It's in the works

When you notched the cover, was it formed to be notched?

[@TimWilborne]

Yes, it is designed to pop it like a knockout.

Modbus TCP!? ... Why would you use that protocol on purpose? I have to program existing Modicon CPUs with Modbus. Definitely not my favorite. ETH-IP (or io link) is the only way, in my humble opinion. 😊😊

[@TimWilborne]

Why would I? What if it is the only option? Did you catch the introductory video? The point of this series is to have the skills you need when you need them, not only be versed in the ones you want to.
