INTELLIGENCE

 

The Schleifenbauer Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is designed to distribute power for many years and without 
problems. The PDU is equipped with a specially developed Schleifenbauer databus which makes it possible to read and 
manage many PDUs with a single IP address. An ethernet port is added to each PDU so that next to the advantages of a 
databus, a whole range of new options has become available. Schleifenbauer PDUs merges the interests between IT and 
infrastructures, making it a real bridge builder. Monitoring capabilities will be described in detail within this manual in 
upcoming sections. 
 
The PDU may contain: 

metered outlets  

switched outlets 

metered and switched outlets  

passive outlets 

 
Customers can configure  the number and types of outlets of their PDU to their requirements by using Schleifenbauers 
customization tool when ordering.

NTERFACES

 

There are several interfaces integrated in the PDU: 

 
In the Admin section of this manual you will find information about the “Interfaces” that describe the technology to 
communicate via your LAN (Local Area Network) with the Schleifenbauer databus.
