Sorry for my horrible English.
I need to communicate a PM171 Series Powermeter of SATEC or a POWERLEADER Electronic Power Meter of GE (two options to spend money!) with a PLC
SIMATIC and the software INTOUCH of Wonderware, for a project in my job.
This is the situation:
I have now the follow:
- PLC Simatic with CPU 315-2DP=20
- Software Step 7 ver 5.0
- Software Intouch ver 7.1.
- An industrial computer
I need the powermeter send and receive information( measurements) to the PLC and to the INTOUCH.
The questions are:
Do I need some additional hardware ( example: a module CP 340), or I can use the serial and/or parallel port of the computer with some interface or connector /adapter to communicate? How I do it?
Wich of the powermeter (SATEC o PLEPM ) is the best option to my purpose?
What do I need to do to communicate it with PLC and/or the INTOUCH?
Thanks.
