Green Solution
Introduction
Enabling Power
System Management
Eaton’s Power Xpert
Architecture (PXA) provides a
complete hardware/software
solution to manage your
entire power system. Power
Xpert Architecture consists
of Power Xpert Meters,
Gateways, Switches
and Software.
Power Xpert devices are
devices that can provide by
themselves, or facilitate for
others, Ethernet network
protocols to communicate
with your critical infrastructure
components. Power Xpert
devices provide the intelligent
hardware connectivity layer
to allow Web-enabled
communications throughout
the power system.
Power Xpert Meters
Power Xpert Meters provide
measurement of the critical
elements found in power
systems, including voltage,
power, current, transients,
harmonics or even time.
Power Xpert Meters
provide Web-enabled
communications for use
through a Web browser or
with the Power Xpert
Software or third-party
monitoring systems.
Power Xpert Gateways
Power Xpert Gateways are
capable of Web-enabling
electrical devices contained in
electrical gear via a standard
Web-browser on the Ethernet
network. Standard on-board
Web pages eliminate the
need for any customer
programming or software.
Power Xpert Software
Power Xpert Software is a
comprehensive solution for
system-level management of
your power infrastructure via
a Web-browser. Power Xpert
Software provides a clear
picture of what is happening
at a component, device and
system level.
Because no two organiza-
tion’s needs are the same,
Power Xpert Software is
available in two editions:
Power Xpert Software
Professional Edition
Geared toward end users,
with built-in support for Eaton
power distribution products
such as switchgear, UPSs,
breakers, PDUs, RPPs,
meters, relays, VFDs and
MCCs among others.
Eaton products connect with
the software directly via an
Ethernet connection, while
legacy devices use a Power
Xpert Gateway to Web-
enable their communications.
A subset of third-party meters
and devices are supported as
standard via the gateway
connection.
Power Xpert Software
Enterprise Edition
Geared toward advanced
power users, system
integrators and enterprises
with heterogeneous device
spectrum and system
developers who can take
advantage of the included
SNMP and Modbus
®
integration development
utilities.
●
Extensive support for
third-party devices via
standard SNMP and
Modbus TCP protocols
●
Large variety of ready
made third-party drop
in drivers
Support for Existing
PowerNet Systems
Power Xpert is directly
compatible with existing
PowerNet™ systems
v.3.32 and higher. All
communications hardware
devices such as NetLink,
EMINT, MINT II and EPONI
can be connected to Power
Xpert Software through the
PowerNet server for
configuration of the INCOM™
communication devices.
