1.2 Short description
The power supply of a data centre can be monitored and controlled
remotely via the PDU. The PDU can be set up for single-phase or
three-phase systems. The individual phases can be distinguished
by their colours. The PDU is supplied with electricity via a CEE
plug.
The current, power (active, apparent and reactive power), power
consumption, voltage and frequency of all phases are monitored
via the PDU. This enables the efficient planning of resources and
the issuing of an alarm in the event of a fault. The PDU is designed
for a power range of 3.6 to 22 kW.
The PDU is integrated into the company network via the LAN port
(only available on the master PDU). Up to 10 slave PDUs can be
cascaded with a master PDU via the Modbus port.
The PDU can be operated locally via the display, via SNMP access
or with a web browser over a network, and the HTTP, HTTPS,
SSH, SNMP and Modbus-TCP protocols can be used.
The PDU is made of a sturdy aluminium profile and is installed
directly into the rack.
Depending on the type, the PDU has a variety of features such as
safety-plug sockets or IEC320 C14 and C20 type non-heating
appliance connectors, and external sensors (temperature/
humidity).
A connector inserted into the PDU can be secured with the non-
heating appliance locking device (C13/C19).
1.3 Displays and controls
The PDU can be operated locally via the display using the control
keys:
nDisplay system data (hardware and software version,
serial number, MAC address and item no.)
nDisplay the measured data
nSet the duration and orientation of the display
nDisplay and adjust the network settings as well as enabling or
disabling the DHCP protocol

The Modbus LED displays the activity of the PDUs connected to
the Modbus.
If the connection between the master and slave PDU is lost, the
Modbus LED on the master PDU goes out and the Modbus LED on
the slave PDU flashes.
The status LEDs (only available on the BN3500/5000/7000/7500)
display the status of the loads connected to the sockets.
See the operating instructions for further information
about the status LEDs on the sockets.
1.4 Communication
A temperature sensor and a humidity sensor can be connected to
the PDU via the ports for sensors. The values can be called up
under ‘Status è External sensors’ in the web interface.
Several PDUs can be connected to each other via the Modbus
port. This way, up to 10 slave PDUs can be cascaded with a
master PDU and managed via the web interface. The slave PDU is
connected to the master PDU via the M1 Modbus port. Further
slave PDUs are connected to each other via the M1/M2 Modbus
ports of the particular slave PDU.
The PDU can be integrated into the network via the LAN port. The
data transfer rate is controlled via the network.
There is a USB port on the PDU next to the display and control
panel. This is for updating the firmware.
