Intelligent Monitoring
The power supply is able to relay information about critical system voltages, currents and temperature to the
Protege GX controller by registering as an analog expander module on the Protege network. The controller can
then store these values in variables that can be viewed live from the Protege GX interface.
This feature is not available in Protege WX.
Monitoring Setup
The power supply will register with the Protege Controller as an analog expander module, AExxx.
The channels for each power supply will monitor:
⦁
Channel 1: Voltage at V1+ output
⦁
Channel 2: Voltage at V2+ output
⦁
Channel 3: Battery voltage
⦁
Channel 4: Total current output
Each channel can be associated with a data value and each data value assigned to a variable. These variables
can then be monitored on a status page or floor plan.
The
Log Channel Data
option may also be selected to view the raw data as it is received in the event log.
However, this will create a large number of events and should only be used for verifying the reception of data.

Protege GX Operator Manual
