Connections
PORTS:
External USB Memory: Not Used.
USB Mini: This direct connection to PC is used to access User
Interface during initial configuration.
Ethernet: Used to connect to the network; it supports both IEEE 10
BASE-T and 100 BASE-TX standards.
SD Card Slot: Not Used.
TB1 − INPUT/OUTPUT CONNECTIONS:
Input +: 9−32 VDC power supply or B+ battery.
Negative Ground (GND)−: GND from power supply or B− battery.
Chassis Ground: Connect to an earth grounded metal surface.
Analog Resistive Input (AIn+ and AIn−): Connection for a
resistive sensor into the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link
(600−2500 ohms).
Discrete Inputs (DIn 1 and DIn 2): Two isolated ‘open-collector’
type discrete inputs. These inputs are activated when connected to
the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link GND (B− or power supply
ground).
Discrete Outputs: Discrete outputs are used to support a ”wired

1. After all configurations are complete, unplug the USB−OTG cable from the
PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link. Then move PowerCommand
500/550 Cloud Link to the installation site.
2. For LAN installations, connect the Ethernet cable from the
PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link to the site’s network (Ethernet
hub/switch).
3. For 3G cellular installations:
Open Installations − Attach antenna to the SMA connector on the
PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link.
Metal Cabinet Installations − Choose a location for the antenna,
preferably near the top of the cabinet. Create a 9/32-inch (7mm) hole
and install the bulkhead end of the antenna extension cable. Connect
the other end to the SMA connector on the PowerCommand 500/550
Cloud Link. Attach the antenna to the connector on the outside of the
cabinet.
4. For installations that use legacy controls, install a Sierra ProtoNode or a
ModLon II Gateway for interfacing LonWorks to Modbus RTU
communications. (See instructions in Instruction Sheet C673.)
5. For wiring up the Modbus communication over RS-485, use 24 AWG or
larger, shielded, twisted pair cable. Both Modbus channels are located on
the TB2 connector.
Using a twisted pair of the Modbus cable, connect the RS-485 signal wires
from the generator set, ATS, or AUX101 control to the corresponding points
on the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Linkterminal block. Either channel is
acceptable, provided it is consistent with information from step 7 (Add Devices).
Note: All devices wired to the same Modbus channel must have the same
Modbus configuration (baud rate, parity, stop bits). Multiple devices can be
wired over daisy chain before connecting to Channel−1 or Channel−2).
A ground reference wire may be necessary depending on the power supply
configuration. If the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link is powered from the
same source as the connected PowerCommand Control, a ground wire is not
needed. If the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link uses a separate power
supply, a ground reference wire should be connected.
Connect the cable shield to either CGND on the PowerCommand 500/550
Cloud Link, or the ground pin on the generator set, ATS or AUX101 control,
but not both. Refer to the External Connectivity Diagrams for more information.
6. If needed, use standard 24 AWG or larger wire to complete the following
PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link TB1 connections.
Wire the Analog Resistive Inputs to an appropriate sensor (for
example, a fuel sensor).
Wire Discrete Input(s) and Discrete Output(s) to the desired
device(s).
Refer to the External Connectivity Diagrams for common examples.
7. Connect the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link to a 12/24VDC
generator set battery or an isolated DC power supply.
8. Mount the PowerCommand 500/550 Cloud Link on a DIN rail or place on
flat surface (rubber feet are provided underneath base).
