X-16s™ Users Manual
3.3 Monitor Motor Load Current
The illustration below shows an example of using the X-16s in conjunction with a current transducer to
measure the current draw of a motor.
This example uses a current sensor that will measure current up to 20 Amps AC. The sensor produces
a linear 0-5VDC output that it can be connected directly to one input of the X-16s analog module. The
slope is calculated and entered into the setup pages of the X-600M. The slope calculation is given
below:
Slope = (Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1)
Slope = (20Amps – 0 Amps)/(5 VDC – 0 VDC) = 4 Amps/V
Configure the X-600M with the new settings as shown in Section 2.4.
