FAQs
To install the EDR-3000-2B1FA0 with fiber optic communication, mount the unit for semi-flush operation in a suitable enclosure, route the fiber optic ST connection to the Modbus/DNP3 RTU interface, and connect the 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac power supply as specified. Use the removable terminals for quick field wiring, verify ground continuity with the Sensitive Ground Input, and configure the Modbus/DNP3 address and baud rate to match the PLC or SCADA system. Proper fiber termination and shielding minimize EMI, enhancing reliability in noisy plant environments.
Key specifications include a dual power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, 50/60 Hz operation, 8 inputs and 6 outputs, and phase current options of 5A and 1A. These values enable flexible deployment across different feeder configurations and ensure compatibility with both older control circuits and modern digital protection schemes. The ability to monitor current protection and metering supports accurate fault detection, while the Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber provides robust remote communication essential for centralized protection schemes.
This model specifies general compliance as 'Contact Manufacturer' for formal certifications, so verify with Eaton for CE, UL, IP ratings, and any industry-specific requirements before deployment. In practice, confirm enclosure rating, environmental limits, and installation practices with your QA team. The device’s grounding and insulation features, including its Sensitive Ground Input, contribute to safe operation, but final certification alignment should be documented in your project specs to meet regulatory and customer expectations.
Key ROI drivers include reduced wiring complexity from a single 8-input/6-output module, simplified maintenance due to removable terminals, and faster commissioning from semi-flush mounting. The fiber-based Modbus/DNP3 link minimizes electrical noise impact on communications, cutting downtime during fault events. Additionally, wide power compatibility supports retrofits without major power system changes, offering extended service life and lower total cost of ownership in feeder protection projects.
The EDR-3000-2B1FA0 is designed for feeder protection with Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication over fiber, enabling integration with SCADA and protection panels. While specific SIL ratings and zone selective interlocking (ZSI) values should be verified with Eaton, the unit supports current protection and metering inputs and provides trip monitoring through the configurable outputs. For robust protection schemes, ensure compatibility with your PLC's I/O mapping and use the built-in communication channels to coordinate tripping signals and alarm reporting across the plant.
