I
i need a hint how to implement a cheap current measurement for a data-center.
my idea is:
every curcuit is fused by 16A, i want to install a ammeter at every curcuit. i need cheap current-meters which i could read out remotely, something like a fieldbus. the fieldbus should be directly or over a gateway be connected to a linux-box, which should store the data and graph it with something like mrtg. a readout every 5 minutes would be ok.
which ammeters could be used and what fieldbus cards/gateways? and is there support for linux?
thnx!, Ingo
