This unique product has four x 20 amp circuits, for a total current capacity of 80 amps. Each circuit is individually addressable via a browser connection to an on board web server. Remote access is also possible via RS232, UDP or TCP using text commands over Ethernet. Current load can be monitored for each of the four circuits.
The four foot wire harness includes a separate hot and neutral leg for each circuit plus a shared common ground line. The side mounting brackets have long openings. Mounting flexibility is increased further as the brackets can be relocated in various positions up and down the back of the chassis. The iP PD1-4 is made in America. List Price is $861.
What: Multiple circuit – remote control over Ethernet or RS232 for AC power
Where: In racks containing equipment needing more than one AC power circuit
Why: Sophisticated control systems need an interface with AC power control for racks with multiple amplifiers and electronic components to turn them off to reduce consumption of electricity or to power cycle.
