  • Offtopic question. Are you familiar with AVEVA (Wonderware) System Platform? We have been working on it for smart city command and control centre. The challenge is bringing in equipments from different OEMs under a single interface. Some projects want this to simplify operations. They prefer one application over many. What

    Another thing is I saw you specified some OEMs. And most of the time they have some variant of an open protocol that only works with their PLC. Why does the SCADA/Automation not move into some universal standards? Is it because very few OEMs have significant market share? I am aware of OPC UA. But no universal support.


  • I would say multiple units. I don’t know what the power requirement is, but 6 will be stretching it too much. Where I’m living 5-6 amps is the supply. So I try to split everything into different outlets as much as possible. This reduces the chance of over heating at the power outlet.

    For matching this load one will probably need a setup with a large battery(s). You will have to manage it separately. Consider one unit setup only if you are planning to install a dedicated power setup, instead of just connecting to a power socket on the wall.
