Abstract :
The state of the art in power monitoring technology in the pulp and paper industry is described. The value of two-wire communications and how it can be linked into computers, programmable logic controllers, and distributed control systems are explored. Application examples illustrate the cost and capability benefits of collecting data from an integrated network of electronic sensors as compared with traditional electrical instrumentation wired to input/output modules.<>
