Eaton's PM3 Module Communications

Former Member

Hello,

 

I know Eaton uses the INCOM protocol, but I still wonder if I can use the RS-232RS-232 port on my laptop to get power and energy out of the PM3?

 

Thank You.

    Vyacheslav,

     

    Eaton's INCOM protocol is the communication netwok that Eaton used for their older Power Monitoring software and system.  Today Eaton uses primarily Ethernet as their communication network for power monitoring.  The Power Xpert Architecture (see link below)

    is discussed in detail with tutorials and Demo's are available.

    From link above:  Power Xpert Architecture

    • Open communication protocols allow all devices to communicate, including third party software, offering one consolidated system.
    • All components are Web-enabled and speak traditional IT languages such as Ethernet, SNMP, and Modbus, which means PXA fits right into existing IT networks and management systems such as HP OpenView and IBM Director.
    • Hardware and software elements work together to provide a unified management view of the diverse facilities infrastructure, including equipment from many manufacturers.
    • Our Demos & Tutorials page shows PXA in action, with live, flash, and video demonstrations of the system components.

    In the documentation they describe how to connect to the Ethernet network from your laptop/ computer.
