Supported Downstream Devices
The PXG600E has been pre-configured to connect to many “downstream”
devices available from Eaton and other manufacturers. Each supported
device is described using a pre-loaded Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file. As
new EDS files are released by Eaton, they can be downloaded to your
PXG600E. Refer to the supported device list available online at
www.eaton.com/pxg.
The EDS identifies important data from each device. This enables the
PXG600E to automatically access device data and present it to “upstream”
clients on the LAN such as web browsers. Device data maps that describe
the type of data available from each supported device have been included in
the PXG600E CD-ROM and are also available online at
www.eaton.com/pxg
.
Accessing Device Data from the Ethernet LAN
The PXG600E provides support for several different types of “upstream”
clients on the LAN:
•
Web Browser
•
Eaton Power Xpert Software
•
Modbus TCP client
•
SNMP based network management tools
•
SMTP supports sending email across the Internet
Details on operation with these clients can be found in
PXG600E System
Integration on page 169
.
The PXG600E can support multiple types of clients accessing the data at the
same time such as looking at the data via a web browser while exchanging
data with the Power Xpert Software. The PXG600E can also support multiple
instances of a type of client, such as accessing data via two web browsers at
the same time. Performance may be compromised if multiple clients access
the PXG600E simultaneously.
NOTICE: The recommendation is that you not exceed any
combination of three supported connections at a time.
