I would like to set up power monitoring using my Profilux 3ex. My plan would be to use a UPS on one of my power bars, then plug in the DC return and Profilux on this power bar, and utilize another wall outlet to power a relay that would communicate the power failure to the PLM-ADIN. When power failure is sensed it would trigger a power cut profile to only power the return and profilux from the UPS until I can manually switch to an alternate emergency power backup, like an inverter from my car, or an inverter generator.
I understand I can use the PLM-ADIN and an RJ45 breakout to connect a relay, but I am unsure what relay and power supply to use for this. I haven't been able to find a lot of information regarding this usage, mostly just about toggle/push-button switches.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.
