1.2 Short description
The power supply of a data centre can be monitored and controlled
remotely using the PDU. The PDU can be set up for single-phase
or three-phase systems. The individual phases can be distin-
guished by their colours. The PDU is supplied with electricity via a
CEE plug.
The current, power (effective, apparent and reactive power), power
consumption, voltage and frequency of all phases are monitored
using the PDU. This enables the efficient planning of resources
and the issuing of an alarm in the event of a fault. The PDU is
designed for a power range of 3.6 to 22 kW.
The PDU is integrated into the company network via the LAN port
(only available on the master PDU). Up to 11 Slave PDUs can be
cascaded with a Master PDU via the Modbus port.
The PDU can be operated locally via the display, via SNMP access
or with a web browser over a network, and the HTTP, HTTPS,
SSH, SNMP and Modbus-TCP protocols can be used.
The PDU is made of a sturdy aluminium profile and is installed
directly into the rack.
Depending on the type, the PDU has a range of equipment fea-
tures such as safety sockets or sockets for IEC320 C14 and C20
and external sensors (temperature/air humidity).
A connector inserted into the PDU can be secured with plug inter-
locks (C13/C19).
1.3 Displays and controls
The PDU can be operated locally using the display with the control
buttons:
n
Display of system data (hardware and software version,
serial number, MAC address (only for Master PDUs) and item
no.)
n
Display of the measured data
n
Setting of the duration (only for Master PDUs) and orientation
of the display
n
Display and adjustment of the network configuration as well as
enabling or disabling the DHCP protocol (only for Master
PDUs)
n
Setting for Modbus (only for Slave PDUs)
