Hello A-Listers
My plant has expanded rapidly in recent years. All of the new MCCs have power logic monitoring devices and I want to propose putting in a network to make use of the devices and get some control over our power use.
I have met with Square D reps and got some steep prices for the equipment needed to complete a network.
Some of my questions are;
Can I do the upgrades on the CMs myself? Do I have to use the EGX200 or EGX400 gateways from Square D or will another kind of modbus gateway work? Has anyone done one of these systems or one similiar? What were the results? How have you measured the payback?
