This Repository contains examples of using the EL3773 terminal along with the TF3650 Power Monitoring library. The examples included can be used for either 1 Phase AC monitoring and 3 Phase AC monitoring.
For implementing the TF3650 Power Monitoring functions, there is a strict Analysis Toolchain and ID workflow that must be maintained. Notice that the Source FB takes toolchain "Destination IDs" as an array for initialization, these IDs are defined in the sample as an Enum for easier use.
The advantage of using the EL3773 and TF3650 together is that your application can have a very high-end method of power/grid monitoring. In the image below, we are using the EL3773 in a home office that is supplying a DLP video projector single phase power. Meanwhile, on a separate outlet we turn on a laser printer for a heavy power draw simulation.
