Eaton EDR-3000-2A1EB1 Distribution Relay - Profibus-DP

Wide power supply range and projection mounting enable flexible deployment across mixed DC and AC feeders, reducing the need for multiple power supplies and simplifying installation in compact control cabinets. Business impact: lower capital cost, faster rollout in new builds or retrofits, and improved uptime in mission-critical lines. Application: panel retrofits and new automation installations requiring robust protection with minimal footprint. The unit provides four inputs and four outputs plus a single current sensing input, enabling multi-point protection coordination and metering across a feeder network. This delivers precise fault isolation and enhanced visibility for operators, reducing downtime and enabling data-driven maintenance in automated lines. In practice, engineers benefit from removable terminals and easy wiring, which shortens commissioning time and minimizes troubleshooting during upgrades. Application: distributed protection schemes in complex automation cells and process lines. Communication is via Profibus-DP over D-Sub/RS485, enabling seamless PLC integration and centralized monitoring while maintaining isolation between control and protection layers. Business impact: simplifies network architecture, speeds fault diagnosis, and supports scalable data collection for performance analytics. Application: industrial networks requiring reliable fieldbus communication with established PLC ecosystems. The device employs conformal coated circuit boards for rugged environments, improving reliability in wet, dust-laden, or high-temperature locations. Business impact: reduced maintenance cycles and long-term reliability in harsh plants. Application: outdoor cabinets, chemical plants, or damp facilities where environmental protection matters. The ergonomic design features projection mounting and removable terminals, simplifying installation, service, and future upgrades. Business impact: faster installation, easier upgrades, and lower lifecycle costs. Additionally, current protection and metering capabilities support precise feeder protection strategies, enabling coordinated trips and safer operation across the plant. Application: safety-critical protection of feeders in automated production lines.
