Factory Power Visualization System Selection Guide | Three Configuration Examples
PAL Series Utilization Guide | Hexacore Inc.
Comparing the use of existing PLCs, cloud monitoring, and centralized management of multiple devices. You will learn how to start visualizing power suitable for factories.
When starting to visualize power in a factory, it is important to organize not only the equipment and circuits to be measured but also where to collect the acquired data, who will check it, and how. The methods of utilizing existing PLCs, checking via the cloud, and centrally managing multiple pieces of equipment with monitoring software differ in terms of the necessary equipment, implementation scale, and suitable operations. This document introduces three examples of visualization system configurations using the "PAL series sensors," which can measure AC current, simple power, and simple accumulated power consumption. You can compare configurations based on your objectives, whether you want to start small with critical equipment or specific lines, utilize existing equipment, or manage multiple devices and locations together. **Challenges** I want to start visualizing power but don’t know which configuration is suitable. I want to implement it using existing PLCs and monitoring equipment. I want to check via the cloud without building new servers or networks. **Benefits of Implementation** Features and lineup of PAL series sensors. How to choose sensors according to measurement targets. System configurations utilizing existing PLCs. For more details, please download the document and make use of it.

basic information
1. Utilizing existing PLCs for visualization PAL series sensors × PLC This configuration involves importing measurement data from PAL series sensors into a Modbus-compatible PLC, leveraging the existing monitoring environment. It is suitable for situations where you want to add measurement points such as current or simple power consumption to necessary circuits while making use of the equipment currently in use. 2. Easy visualization in the cloud PAL series sensors × Gateway BOX This configuration sends measurement data to the cloud via a Gateway BOX, allowing for verification from a computer or tablet. It is suitable for starting small from important equipment or specific lines while minimizing the burden of new server or factory network construction. 3. Centralized management of multiple facilities and locations PAL series sensors × CEW-M4 This configuration aggregates data collected from multiple sensors into the monitoring software "CEW-M4," allowing for verification via a web interface. It is suitable for managing the current, power, temperature, and humidity of multiple facilities within a factory or across multiple locations.
