EL34xx Sample

About this repository

This repository contains official sample code for the power measurement terminals offered by Beckhoff Automation.

The repository is split into 2 parts:

1. Function blocks and DUT definitions for each terminal type, provided as PlcOpenXML files → easily import in existing projects

2. Sample project, where all function blocks are used → quick reference how they are supposed to be used

The sample code is provided as-is under the Zero-Clause BSD license.

Using the sample

1. Download the XML files for your used terminals

2. Import the XML in your project

3. Instanciate the function block, call it cyclically and rebuild solution

4. Set your terminals PDO assignment to the desired PDO (refere to PDO Overview)

5. Map the terminal's PDO to the PLC
