Hi all, James, automation engineer in manufacturing, in Australia.
Current job is energy monitoring on our production floor. A Raspberry Pi 3B+ with an RS485 HAT polls three-phase meters over Modbus RTU with minimalmodbus and publishes kW and kWh to Hermetry every minute. It mostly works. Mostly.
Once the numbers are solid I want a proper process screen for the line and the compressed air, so I’ll be in the SCADA forum before long.
Welcome James. For the screen the usual order is: draw it in Process Diagrams, attach it as a view of a device or a site, then connect each symbol to a device and one of its values. Every board that shows that device or site then draws it live. The SCADA page has the whole picture. SCADA is part of the IoT add-on, so check your organisation has it before you start drawing.
Thanks. Do I need to buy a library for the electrical side, or is there something in the base set for meters and breakers?
The core set is always open and has an Energy family: breaker, transformer, generator, inverter / charger, battery bank, consumer and a two-row meter, among others. For a meter overview that is usually enough. Proper single-line diagrams are in the Power library, which is bought separately. Lists on Symbols and industry packs.
