I am looking to data log my motor pumps current or any other equipment plugged into a Digital 6 socket power bar.

By logging the current of a motor, you can see when a pump is going to fail or needs cleaning before you have the problem.

Once you have the Amps logged, you will get other useful information.

Voltage x Amps = Watts.

You also will have kilowatt meter which could tell you how much Electricity your are using.
You could also let the user input their current rates in the area they live in, so they know how much it cost to run that device.

Possibilities are endless with a device like this.

This was posted on RC by me, but I believe it can do better here, I really do think this a good idea, but unfortunately is not just a software mod, you would need a new power bar also.
What you guys think?

Hi

This is well established for the release of the PIII

You realize its not only a software change, you need also a new Digital 6 socket power bar.
Are you saying we also are going to get a new Digital 6 socket power bar with current sensing sensors built in?

If that the case then I am going to be all over that.

[Matthias]

yes, there will be a new digital powerbar but the features are not clear yet
it depends on the price for the current sense sensors
if the price will increase too much by adding the current sense feature we will not add it because the majority of the users will not pay for it

Is there any plans for a input 0 to10v module ?

A least with a module like that, we can add our own circuits.

Like these.

Interesting product, and as the ProfiLux has 0-10V line

But Matthias can answer this better than I

[Matthias]

yes, I even considered to develop a general purpose 0-10V analog input card for the PII

You would open PIII to new possibilities by adding a analog card input. As of right now, there is no way to read an analog signal, only through probes.
You got both digital signals covered and just the analog out.
Just get us an analog card in, and we have a complete automation system.

Any further thought to adding Ph standard to the GHL ProfiLux Light 2 Controller?

[camnbron]

What about a digital input card?
This would allow people to have the ablility to configure buttons for situations where they are unable to communicate with the Profilux by the buttons on the front or via the computer.
