However, the power measurement terminals, current transformers, overcurrent protection terminals and power supplies from Beckhoff enable this with standard components and correspondingly low costs as well as reduced logistics requirements, e.g., for the storage of special parts – even when retrofitting existing machines and plants. Until now, continuous data monitoring has mostly been associated with significant investments, often requiring costly integration of external sensors, sometimes with the help of specialized components. In this way, developing damage can be detected at an early stage and process optimization potentials are easier to discover. Furthermore, universal and system-integrated energy measuring technology satisfies the prerequisite for being able to compare the target and actual state of the plant directly inside the machine controller. If machine manufacturers avoid power peaks with this holistic approach, for example, they reduce the connected load of the plant as well as installation costs for the end customer due to the smaller supply cable sizes. In particular, the EL922x overcurrent protection terminals integrated directly in the EtherCAT I/O system not only reliably secure the power in the individual supply paths, but also continuously measure it. With the new, high-quality power supplies from the PS series, the system approach of PC-based control comes decisively to bear, because only when all components are optimally matched to one another can advantages be universally achieved. If this is additionally combined with high-performance recording of energy data, advantages already result during the design of the machine: additional power measurement technology at the power supply inputs provides an overview of the total power, including any losses. No machine or plant works without reliable power supplies and the corresponding fusing.

This includes the numerous SCT current transformers and EtherCAT power measurement terminals for the integrated monitoring of the AC and DC supply, to the 24/48 V DC power supplies of the three new PS device series and the EL922x electronic overcurrent protection terminals. Hence, the wide range of PC-based control technology from Beckhoff offers a solution that can be optimally adapted to the respective application.
Added to that are simplified preventive maintenance and ultimately considerably increased production efficiency. Transparent energy monitoring reduces both machine downtime and the necessity to oversize the corresponding components for reasons of plant availability. PC-based control from Beckhoff makes this possible with matching components for power supply, fusing and monitoring.
This in turn is the basis for increasing the efficiency of production machines and optimizing process sequences. Only universal and system-integrated current and energy handling results in maximum data transparency from power generation to energy monitoring.
