c. Network Time Server (NTP) —
Network Time Protocol (Client-
side) is available on the following
Power Xpert products: Power
Xpert Foreseer Class Software,
Power Xpert Server Core Soft-
ware, Power Xpert Meters 4000/
6000/8000, Power Xpert Gateway
600 and Power Xpert Gateway
Cards 1000/2000 Series.
d. Modbus TCP/IP — Modbus TCP/IP
over Ethernet is available on the

ware, Power Xpert Server Core
Software, Power Xpert Meters
4000/6000/8000, Power Xpert
Gateway 600 and Power Xpert
Gateway Cards 1000/2000 Series.
Modbus register maps are avail-
able online at www.eaton.com/
powerxpert
e. Data Export — Data files consist of
metered data and event log infor-
mation that is exported from the
meter, gateway or software in the
form of a .csv (comma separated
variable) file. Supported products
are: Power Xpert Gateway
PXG600, PXGX1000, PXGX2000,
Power Xpert Meter 4000/6000/
8000 and Power Xpert Server
Core software.
f. Data Trending — Viewing trended
data in a standard web browser
interface in the form of a graphed
line for one or more data points
is available for the following
products: Power Xpert Gateway
PXG600, PXGX1000, PXGX2000,
Power Xpert Meter 4000/6000/
8000 and Power Xpert Server
Core software.
g. Waveform Capture — The ability
to capture a waveform and/or
export the waveform as a standard
comtrade file format is available
on the following products: Power
Xpert Meter 4000/6000/8000.
h. Waveform Acquisition and Export
— The ability to acquire a wave-
form from another device that
natively captures a waveform
internally and then export that
waveform in a standard comtrade
file format is supported by the
following devices: PXG600
(provides data acquisition and
comtrade conversion for: IQ
Analyzer, DT1150 and FP5000).
Note: The Power Xpert Meters
4000/6000/8000 also export natively
captured waveforms as comtrade
file format.
i. Third-Party HMI Software Integra-
tion — Is achieved through the
Modbus TCP/IP interface on all
Power Xpert devices. If PowerNet
software is utilized in the system,
then an OPC Server is available.
j. Proprietary Serial Device Protocols
over Ethernet — The ability to
communicate with third-party
equipment is achieved by first
converting the physical serial
media to Ethernet by using a stan-
dard serial to Ethernet multiport
terminal server (see Note k.). Next,
a device driver library is required
to convert the proprietary protocol
to an Eaton internal standard to
allow the data to be integrated
within Eaton software. Products
that support this type of third-
party device integration are:
Power Xpert Foreseer software.
k. BACnet/WS+ — Is based upon the
protocol specification developed
by the ASHRAE standards group
as an Addendum c to Standard
135-2004.
Reference: [BACnet — A Data
Communication Protocol for
Building Automation and Control
Networks. Public Review Draft,
ASHRAE Standard. BSR/ASHRAE
Addendum c to ANSI/ASHRAE
Standard 135-2004. First Public
Review. Released: October 22,
2004. 32 pages. Copyright (c)
American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers, Inc. August 30, 2004.]
This draft shows proposed changes
to the current BACnet standard.
Note: Eaton Corporation has extended
this protocol addendum with a (+) to signify
the addition of an “event-driven” behavior
to the existing “polled” data acquisition
model. This allows optimization in commu-
nications between Power Xpert devices and
Power Xpert Software.
l. CEC (Communications Expansion
Card) — This card must be
ordered as an option to provide
Ethernet connectivity for use with
a web browser, interface to Power
Xpert Software or third-party
HMI software.
m. Ethernet Switch — The Eaton
Ethernet Switch provides connec-
tivity between Power Xpert devices
on a common sub network. The
6-port version of the switch shown
provides (6) RJ45 network ports.
As an option 1 or 2 of these ports
can be substituted to be ST-Type
Fiber connections.
n. Multiport Terminal Server — Is a
device that is used to add network
connectivity to serial devices.
These terminal servers offer 8
or 16 RS-232/485 serial ports to
connect a variety of serial devices
including meter devices, UPS,
PDU, Static Switch, Automatic
Transfer Switch, generators, Com-
puter Room Air Conditioners, and
other commercial, industrial or
business automation equipment.
The serial ports use standard RJ45
or DB-9 connectors for convenient
cabling, and optional adapters are
available as well.
