Turck’s BL20 energy measurement module enables precise monitoring of the energy consumption of single- or three-phase systems. The company is now expanding its BL20 I/O system with three-phase energy measurement modules for 1 A and 5 A current transformers to create a comprehensive energy management solution. The modules enable continuous monitoring of the energy consumption of single- or three-phase systems, and allow easy integration into existing systems via multiprotocol Ethernet (Profinet, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP), EtherCAT, OPC-UA or MQTT. The solution can also be expanded with analogue and IO-Link sensors to provide additional options for data acquisition and analysis.
By analysing the energy data directly in Codesys, users gain immediate insight into their energy efficiency, and can take appropriate measures to optimise it. The transparent presentation of energy data via clear dashboards, locally or in the cloud, enables users to monitor their energy consumption data effectively, anytime and anywhere. The energy measurement modules with IP20 protection are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications in many sectors, including mechanical engineering, automotive, food and beverage, logistics, packaging, and chemicals.
