Power Xpert Architecture
Hardware/Software
Products
Power Xpert hardware/
software products were
developed to provide a highly
intuitive local user interface
that simplifies complex real-
time data into meaningful
information. At a glance, a
user can quickly determine
if a critical parameter in their
power system, (such as
voltage, current or kWH),
falls within or outside of an
acceptable operational range.
Power Xpert devices provide
the intelligent hardware
connectivity layer to
allow Web-enabled
communications over an
Ethernet TCP/IP network.
These devices can act as
standalone Web servers or as
part of a coordinated system
with Power Xpert Software
consolidating and analyzing
the combined system data.
The Power Xpert Meter family
and the Power Xpert Gateway
family are microprocessor-
based, Web-enabled,
communicating devices
from Eaton that make up the
Power Xpert Architecture.
Power Xpert Meters
Power Xpert Meters 2000/
4000/6000/8000 offer Eaton
customers a new level of
accessibility to the critical
information required to
manage their electrical
distribution system. The
meter’s embedded Web
server includes real-time
circuit information in both
numeric and graphical visual
formats that can be viewed
on its local display or through
a Web browser via the
Internet or a customer’s
intranet.
The Power Xpert Meters
4000/6000/8000 are the
benchmark for intelligent
Web-enabled power quality
metering instruments. The
meters include high-speed
sampling and measurement
of the critical elements,
(i.e., voltage, power, current,
transients or harmonics),
in a facility’s power system.
See Page V3-T9-21 for
detailed information on the
Power Xpert Meters.
All Power Xpert Meters
provide a standard
communications protocol
for easy integration into
other systems.
Power Xpert Gateways
Power Xpert Gateways are
intelligent communication
devices that Web-enable one
or more electrical devices
so they become visible to
a browser on an Ethernet
network. The Power Xpert
Gateways are capable of
providing communications
conversion from one network
field bus protocol to an
other—for example, INCOM
to Ethernet.
Power Xpert Gateway
devices are a key component
in the Power Xpert
Architecture. They allow a
user to optimize their existing
investment in Eaton’s
communicating devices such
as IQ Meters, Digitrip™
Breaker Trip Units, Protective
and Overload Relays and IT.
Motor Starters. They can
also extend state-of-the-art
connectivity to third-party
devices that communicate
using Modbus RTU protocol
over an RS-485 field bus.
See Page V3-T9-259 for
detailed information on the
Power Xpert Gateways.
Power Xpert Software
Power Xpert Software, an
integral part of the overall
Power Xpert Architecture, is a
comprehensive solution for
system-level management
of your power infrastructure
via a Web-browser, from
any desktop, on one screen.
Power Xpert Software is
designed to take the
complexity out of managing
your power system and
provides a clear picture of
what is happening at a
component, device and
system level. Power Xpert
Software provides insight into
cost savings and downtime
prevention. For detailed
information on Power
Xpert Software, see
Page V3-T9-14.
