Within Control Expert we can estimate the power consumption.
It would be ideal if we could interrogate the power supply (redundant 40W) even in single use mode if installed or develop an algorithm to calculate the power used across the backplane and display this information "the consumed power for the PLC" in an unused System word.
Thanks @MaxBoyer you have exposed my inability to read the manual. BTW the temperature shown in your response is the internal temperature which is 20C above the ambient temperature. So now we know the temperature and the power consumption.
