Eaton Power Xpert Architecture

Eaton Power Xpert Architecture provides the framework to

unify the entire power system. It connects power systems with

communication and management systems to provide a holistic

approach to the entire power system. This strategic system-level

focus is integral to PowerChain™ Management Solutions. It pro-

vides increased reliability, cost efficiencies, enhanced safety and

risk mitigation and allows for the more effective use of capital.

Eaton Power Xpert Architecture is comprised of both software

and hardware components including meters, gateways, time

servers and connectivity devices.

Expand the communica­tion capability of your
power system

As Ethernet LANs extend the
network beyond the offi ce
to the plant fl oor and facility
basement, the possibilities for
power system monitoring and
management have grown as
well. However, these less-than­optimal environments have
special requirements to keep
the lines of communication
open, and the health of the
power system intact.

Eaton’s Power Xpert Ethernet
Switches are ideal for extending
Ethernet networks via CAT5
wiring or fi ber in harsh,
industrial environments. Built
with high-grade components
and constructed using special
thermal techniques, PXE
Switches can withstand the
unpredictable conditions of such
environments.

PXE Switches support IEE

802.3u auto-negotiation and
MDI/MDIX auto-cross, enabling
a 10 Mb or 100 Mb device to
be attached on any port. Two
terminals provide connections
to monitor an internal power­sense relay. Designed for high
ambient temperatures, it is ideal
for industrial use, and since
no internal air fl ow is required
for cooling, it resists dust, dirt,
moisture, smoke and insects.
Mounting options include
standalone panel-mounting,
DIN-Rail mounting, or 19"
standard rack mounting.

PXE 6-port switch ­10/100 Mb with optional
100 Mb fi ber

In heavy-duty industrial
applications, Ethernet LANs are

often used where small groups
of nodes at the edge need to
be connected into larger LAN
structures. The Power Xpert
6-port switch delivers innovative
features to serve edge-of-the­network applications.

This compact switch provides
six Ethernet ports, with fl exible
confi gurations. The base models
have one of three options:

•

Two 100 Mb fi ber and
four 10/100 copper ports

One fi ber and fi ve

•

copper ports

•

Six copper ports

The 6-port switch supports
loop networks, enabling them
to be used in self-healing and
redundant LAN environments.
This capability allows the switch
to sense link loss or standard
STP/RSTP reconfi guration
signals on designated ports,
fl ush internal address buffers
to permit a change in LAN
packet fl ow, and pass the
reconfi guration signal down the
line to other products in the
redundant network structure.
PXE Switches, combined with
managed switches running STP,
RSTP or S-Ring, can provide
cost-effective, high-availability
redundant LANs.

PXE 4-port switch
10/100 Mb

For smaller applications requiring
fewer connection points and
no fi ber, the 4-port Power Xpert
Ethernet Switch is a versatile
option. It provides edge access
Ethernet ports in a convenient
and compact package.
