14.41 EcoMonitorLight Connection

EcoMonitorLight connection is a function to enable NC system to collect and manage the electric power of the machine tool

which is measured by the Mitsubishi Electric energy measuring unit "EcoMonitorLight".

The electric power (mainly consumed and regenerated power) of entire machine tool and peripheral devices can be

measured by connecting EcoMonitorLight to the main breaker of the machine tool or the breaker of the peripheral devices

(motor, coolant, etc.) which configure the machine tool. EcoMonitorLight can transmit each measured power value to external

devices with serial communication. By establishing serial communication (Modbus) between the NC unit and EcoMonitorLight

using a serial cable, the NC system can collect the power values of the entire machine tool and peripheral devices measured

by EcoMonitorLight.

Consequently, the electric power in the machine tool can be finely managed, which enables energy-saving operation.

power values

Up to 16 EcoMonitorLights are connectable in M8V Series.

The following two things are available with this function.

 Power values measured with EcoMonitorLight at a constant frequency (consumed and regenerated power values) are col-

Machine tool of consumed and regenerated power values can be collected from predetermined R register.

 Power values, which are measured with EcoMonitorLight by user operation other than the power values mentioned above,

are collected.

When inputting the information about the collection destination of EcoMonitorLight to R register, power values can be col-

lected from the predetermined R register.
