Ethernet NetLink
Ethernet NetLink
General Description
The NetLink is a device that embeds
the PowerNet Device Server applica-
tion on an industrial PC platform.
NetLink serves as an interface between
PowerNet applications and Cutler-
Hammer products connected to both
INCOM and Modbus RS-485 networks.
Applications
■ Bridge multiple Cutler-Hammer
Power Management Software
devices to an Ethernet network.
■ Modbus RTU output for multiple
Cutler-Hammer Power Management
Software devices.
■ Historical data logging.
■ Event storage.
Metered/Monitored Parameters
Provides remote access over Ethernet
or Modbus to the protective and moni-
toring parameters of any supported
communicating Cutler-Hammer meter,
protective relay, breaker or motor
starter.
Features, Benefits and Functions
The NetLink translates INCOM
Frequency Shift Key (FSK) to standard
Ethernet TCP/IP messages or Modbus
RTU or to both.
The Ethernet NetLink allows connec-
tion of 200 meters and protective
relays to an Ethernet Network.
Configuration can be done remotely
and is stored in non-volatile RAM. The
NetLink can be applied on dedicated or
shared facility Ethernet Networks.
The Ethernet NetLink is a server for
device information to Cutler-Hammer
Power Management Software clients
on local or enterprise networks. The
Ethernet NetLink enables the following
functionality:
■ Connection of up to 200 Cutler-
Hammer meters and protective
relays to an Ethernet Network.
■ Localized data collection at the sub-
station or equipment building level.
■ Data logger capabilities to store
event and trend information from
attached Cutler-Hammer devices.
■ Flexible system placement on
dedicated or shared facility Ethernet
Networks.
■ A 10Base-T port for communications
at 10 Mbps on any Ethernet network
supporting TCP/IP packets.
■ Remote configuration which is kept
safe in non-volatile memory.
■ Available for purchase with either
one or two INCOM ports.
The Ethernet NetLink comes with a
10Base-T communications of 10 Mega-
baud on any network supporting TCP/
IP packets. The NetLink is typically
located at the substation or equipment
building level. It serves as a distributed
data logger for attached devices.
