PowerLogic®

Web-Enabled Network Components

Class 3030

Communications for high-speed access to critical information

From a single building to a multi-site enterprise, PowerLogic Web-Enabled Network Components provide fast, reliable serial line to Ethernet connectivity in the most demanding applications:
PowerLogic Ethernet Gateways are available in two models-EGX100 and EGX400 - providing direct connection to Ethernet-Modbus®/TCP networks to make energy and power monitoring information available over local and wide area networks.
The EGX100 provides low-cost, reliable, Ethernet to serial-line connectivity in a compact, DIN-rail mounted package. Enabled by Power over Ethernet (PoE IEEE 802.3af), the EGX100 simplifies installation by eliminating the need for power supplies plus provides a Web-based interface for configuration and diagnostics.
The EGX400 has two serial ports providing Ethernet access to 64 serial devices (more with repeaters) and includes the ability to e-mail historical data plus provide browser-based access to real-time and historical interval data logging/trending information allowing electrical distribution systems to be better managed by utilizing Ethernet and Internet technologies.

Advantages

Easy to setup—No special software required. Configuration via Microsoft Internet Explorer or Hyperterminal.
Easy to troubleshoot—Detailed diagnostics for communication ports through a
Web interface.
Easy to maintain—Field upgradable firmware lets you add new features while reducing costly downtime.
Cost-effective, high-speed communications—Use existing LAN infrastructure to reduce communications wiring and network management costs.
Open platform provides broad connectivity—Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet allows transparent access via intranet/internet. Each gateway supports up to 32 Modbus or PowerLogic protocol devices.
Subnet initiated communications—The gateway supports a slave mode for connecting a serial-line based system to Ethernet. For example, a building management system with a Modbus serial interface can route to 16 remote Modbus TCP/IP interfaces supporting up to 128 serial-line devices.
Extended temperature range— -25 to 70°C enables operation in harsh environments.

PowerLogic Web Page Generator

The PowerLogic Web Page Generator (WPG) creates and downloads application specific web pages to PowerLogic Ethernet gateways (EGX100 / EGX400, ECC21) with minimal user intervention. The user simply identifies the serial devices connected to the Ethernet gateway in this wizard-based software utility. The utility takes care of the rest. This utility is available for download from www.powerlogic.com.
