Eaton EDR-3000-2C1EB1 Distribution Relay - Profibus-DP

Power and communications flexibility enable rapid deployment across a global facility. The EDR-3000-2C1EB1 operates from 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac and communicates via Profibus-DP over D-Sub or RS-485, reducing the need for multiple adapters. In practical terms, installers can reuse a common protection module for both existing and new lines, shortening commissioning times and improving consistency in feeder protection across machines and panels. I/O and sensing capabilities support precise control and metering without adding external hardware. With four inputs and four outputs, plus a current sensing input and configurable phase current (5A/1A), technicians can implement targeted protection and accurate metering right at the feeder. The lack of analog I/O keeps wiring straightforward, while still enabling essential protections and status reporting. Zone selective interlocking reduces fault energy and shortens clearance times on motor feeders. This capability lowers equipment stress, minimizes unplanned downtime, and simplifies coordination with upstream protection schemes. When combined with current protection and metering, it delivers smarter feeder management for modern automation networks. Mechanical ruggedness and installation ease minimize field risk. Projection mounting and removable terminals speed up installs and swaps, while conformal-coated circuit boards improve reliability in dusty or damp environments. Operating at 50/60 Hz ensures compatibility with global power systems, providing a robust solution for mixed-voltage facilities. Compatibility and maintenance are straightforward within Eaton’s protection ecosystem. This relay integrates with the E-series family, helping standardize spares and reducing training time for maintenance staff. A one-year warranty and Eaton support policy add a clear service level, helping control total cost of ownership in panel builds and upgrades. Finally, with its combination of flexible power, explicit protection features, and fieldbus communications, the EDR-3000-2C1EB1 supports measurable efficiency gains, faster fault isolation, lower downtime, and better visibility into feeder performance—key for continuous improvement in automotive, food & beverage, and process industries.
