No. of update messages per year = 363 (approx)
Total messages for pulse input = 12 + 363 = 375
Analogue input
Sample time 1 hour Warm-up time 5 secs
Sensitivity 3% Update time 1 day
Average changes of >3% is twice per day
No. of change messages per year = 2 (twice per day) * 365
= 730
No. of update messages per year = 0 (always be a change message each 1 day)
Total messages for analogue input = 730
Total input messages per year = 400 + 375 + 730 = 1505
Power consumed in transmissions
= 350 * 1505 * 2 (2 per message)
= 1,053,500

A-hour per year
Power for analogue loop supply
(assume average loop current is 12mA)
No. of analogue measurements per year = 365 days * 24 hours * 1(sample time)
= 8,760
Power for analogue loop supply = 17 (from above table) * 5 (warm-up time) * 8,760
= 744 600
µ
A-hour per year
Power for pulse input
Average pulse rate is 1 pulse per hour (0.0003Hz), so power required = 60 x 0.0003 per day

A-hour per year
Quiescent power
Power for quiescent current = 3600 per day * 365
= 1 314 000

Total power consumption per year
= 1053500 + 744 600 + 7 + 1 314 000
