The Eaton®PDI WaveStar®Color Monitor is a 7-inch color touchscreen which isplays power management
information for up to twenty (20) Branch Circuit Monitoring System (BCMS) evices an other Eaton evices in
the Monitor’s ownstream Mo bus network.
The Color Monitor is incorporate into Eaton pro ucts, such as Power Distribution Units (PDUs), Remote
Power Panels (RPPs), or JCOMM®s, an can also function as a stan -alone power monitoring station.
Figure 1 shows the Monitor use in a JCOMM.

The Color Monitor oes not have an on/off switch. The Monitor automatically powers-on whenever power is
applie to the unit in which it is installe .
When the unit is powere on for the first time, the Home Screen appears (see Figure 2).
The Color Monitor is accesse by touching the screen. If the unit is powere up an is not touche for 15
minutes, the backlight will turn off to save power. The backlight turns back on when the operator again touches
the screen, showing the last isplaye screen.

All protocols supporte by the Color Monitor can be use simultaneously.
Downstream Protocol The ownstream evice network has fixe parameters of Mo bus RTU, 9600 bau ,
EVEN parity.
Upstream Protocols There are separate upstream ports for Mo bus RTU an Ethernet, supporting these
protocols:
• Mo bus RTU
• Ethernet port
–TCP/IP, use by the web page server (see Chapter 8 Web Pages)
–Mo bus TCP/IP
–SNMP Version 1
33..22 MMoonniittoorr NNeettwwoorrkk CCoonnnneeccttiioonnss
The Color Monitor’s backpanel has Mo bus RTU an Ethernet ports (see Figure 4).
For Color Monitors embe e in Eaton pro ucts (PDUs, RPPs, or JCOMMs), Mo bus RTU backpanel
connections are typically ma e in manufacturing an exten e to a terminal block or external panel for
convenient customer access. See paragraph 3.5 Customer Modbus RTU Connections.
The customer’s Ethernet cable is connecte irectly to the Monitor’s Ethernet port.

The Color Monitor has four (4) parallele Mo bus ports:
• J1 an J3 are hea er/plug connections for connecting to most evices.
–J1 is the upstream port.
–J3 is the ownstream port.
• J2 an J4 accept stan ar RJ12 phone cable plugs for connection to an M4G PDU boar .
–J2 is the upstream port.
–J4 is the ownstream port.
The Mo bus RTU interface is isolate , an pin esignations are given in Table 1:

Eaton evices have two (2) jumpers near their Mo bus ports for configuring 2-wire vs. 4-wire Mo bus RTU
(see Figure 4). The Monitor’s 2-wire configuration jumpers are W1 an W2 (upstream) an W3 an W4
( ownstream). Upstream an ownstream chains can be ifferently configure .
For 2-wire configuration:
• At least one evice in a evice chain must have both jumpers jumpe on its Mo bus connection. If any
evice in the chain has jumpers installe for 2-wire, all of the evice chain is 2-wire. To avoi confusion
when troubleshooting, all of the evices in the chain shoul be jumpe in the same way.
• TX+ or RX+ on the Monitor (either one, because the on-boar 2-wire jumpers short them together) wires
to TX+ or RX+ on ownstream evices.
• TX- or RX- on the Monitor wires to TX- or RX- on ownstream evices.
• The + an - signal wires shoul comprise of a (twiste ) wire pair resi ing in the same shiel .
For 4-wire configuration:
• All of these jumpers must be remove from every evice in the chain.
• TX+ on the Monitor’s PCB or on the customer Buil ing Management System (BMS) wires to RX+ on a
evice PCB (see Figure 5).
• TX- from the Monitor or BMS wires to RX- on evice PCB (see Figure 5).
• A secon pair of wires connects the other pair of TX+ / RX+ an TX- / RX-.
• The TX+ an TX- going to the RX+ an RX- shoul be in the same shiel . Do not run the +'s in one shiel
an the -'s in another. Doing so may lea to spora ic communication.

RS485/RS422 cable length can be up to 4000 ft. if you use the proper cable:
• The cable resistance shoul be ≤ 27 ohms/1000ft @ 1 kHz an the mutual capacitance shoul be ≤ 14pf/ft
@ 1 kHz.
• 4-wire cabling:
–RS422 is typically 4-wire.
–Use a shiel e cable with two (2) twiste pairs an a shiel /groun wire.
–The two transmit lines must be in one twiste pair an the two receive lines in the other twiste pair.
• 2-wire cabling:
–RS485 is typically 2-wire an is slower than RS422.
–Use a shiel e cable with one (1) twiste pair an a shiel /groun wire.
33..33..22 CCaabbllee BBiiaassiinngg aanndd TTeerrmmiinnaattiioonn
Eaton evices have soft biasing (27K pull-up an pull- own resistors) on the + an – transmit an receive lines.
Therefore, if the customer’s client evice allows for control, Eaton recommen s that the user turn on biasing
an turn off termination, which may “fight” the biasing. Biasing the client evice’s lines is not critical because
the Color Monitor is alrea y biasing the lines. If termination is nee e because of an extremely long cable run,
Eaton recommen s that a small capacitor be put in series with the terminating resistor.

When a Color Monitor is embe e in a Eaton pro uct (PDU, RPP, or JCOMM), the customer oes not
typically wire Mo bus RTU irectly to the Monitor. Downstream Mo bus RTU links are typically to internal
evices an are wire at the factory. The upstream Mo bus RTU link is exten e from the Monitor to a
customer connection port, which iffers by unit.
