CONTROL AND MONITOR AUTOMATIC POWER CONVERTER USING IOT VBOX

Abstract

In reality, production activities and user requirements need to ensure continuous power supply, so using an automatic power adapter is necessary. As technology develops strongly, integrating IOT into the remote control and monitoring system will help connect devices in the system flexibly, increase the ability to detect errors early, and ensure reliability. This article presents a method of using IoT device Vbox to control and monitor automatic power converters. To evaluate the system, the article developed an experimental model using a power meter, connecting a Vbox with a PLC S7-1200 on the Vnet software to control the switching between the grid power and generator power in both manual and automatic modes. It established an automatic power switch alert mode via telegram messager, allowing the system manager to monitor and respond quickly when not nearby. Test results show that the system can monitor the parameters of the power source and automatically change the power source.
