The ARD00330 is a PIC18F87J72 energy monitoring PICtail Plus daughter board. It is a single phase energy monitor daughter board featuring the PIC18F87J72 high performance 8bit MCU with 16bit/24bit delta sigma A/D converters. This low cost design uses a shunt for the current sensor in place of expensive current transformers. The PIC18F87J72 calculates active/reactive energy, forward/reverse energy, active/reactive/apparent power and RMS current/voltage. The energy monitoring PICtail Plus daughter board interfaces to the Explorer 16 development board (DM240001) where additional evaluation can be performed. Through the explorer 16 development board, wired and wireless network connections can be made through other PICtail daughter boards such as the ethernet PICtail (AC164123) and the WiFi PICtail (AC164136-4).
