TwinCAT 3 Power Collector provides software modules for programming applications for power measurement. These modules offer a standardized interface for all terminals in the EL34xx series. Parameters such as transformer ratio and frequency range can be configured automatically. Interfaces for advanced transmission protocols such as MQTT, HTTP REST, and OPC UA have already been implemented. Telecontrol protocols such as IEC 61850 and IEC 60870 are also available.

TwinCAT 3 Power Technologies provides software modules for programming in-depth diagnostics in electrical power measurement based on the EL37x3. In addition, the same standardized interface as the one in TF8330 TwinCAT 3 Power Collector is available. Real-time optimized calculations of the effective values, frequency, harmonics, distortions etc. are delivered continuously in a 1 ms cycle. Advanced frequency determination methods and an instant Clarke/Park transform are included.

TwinCAT 3 Power Control provides software blocks for implementing a power plant controller. This is required for all power-generating systems in order to meet the grid requirements, in accordance with the standards of the individual European countries, e.g. VDE-AR-N 4110 and VDE-AR-N 4120 in Germany.
