SK-go! EMS
Energy counters
Different types of energy counters can be used for the connection to the MES software SK-go!®. If a counter has an RJ45 interface, it can usually be connected via OPC-UA.
Counters with a pulse output can be integrated via an additional Mini-PLC (Siemens hardware). The pulses are recorded via the PLC, where they are counted and transferred as consumption via an Ethernet interface. The type of energy is irrelevant. Common counter types include:
- Flow sensors (gas/compressed air/water)
- Energy transducers (electricity/active power/reactive power/etc.)
- Temperature sensors
- and much more
