Eaton EDR-5000-2A0EB1 Distribution Relay - Profibus-DP
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A0EB1
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A0EB1 enables robust feeder protection in industrial control systems, delivering fast fault detection and clear diagnostics. Design teams often grapple with integrating protection schemes and maintaining reliable fieldbus communication across cabinets and feeders. Note that the data does not specify CE, UL, or SIL certifications; verify approvals with Eaton for regulatory alignment. With Profibus-DP over D-Sub/RS-485 and a versatile 8-input, 11-output I/O configuration, it enables scalable protection, simplified wiring, and faster commissioning in industrial automation. Additionally, the device supports a wide 50/60 Hz operating range, which broadens site compatibility and reduces the need for multiple hardware variants, translating to lower lifecycle costs and smoother project handoffs.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EDR-5000-2A0EB1
Eight inputs and eleven outputs provide comprehensive feeder protection within a single unit, simplifying protection logic and enabling zone selective interlocking while reducing wiring complexity. This configuration supports streamlined diagnostics and faster fault localization, enabling safer and more reliable operation in control cabinets and substations. The wide power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, plus 50/60 Hz compatibility, eliminates the need for multiple adapters and speeds up commissioning across global sites. Profibus-DP communication over D-Sub / RS-485 delivers reliable fieldbus integration, enabling remote configuration, monitoring, and coordinated tripping across devices—reducing downtime and enabling centralized control. IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor as an I/O option provides precise trip coordination for critical feeders, improving system resilience. Conformal coated circuit boards and removable terminals enhance reliability in harsher environments and simplify field maintenance. Projection mounting supports flexible enclosure layouts and rapid installation in tight electrical rooms, cutting installation time and increasing panel density.

FAQs
Begin by confirming supply within the 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac range and mounting the unit using projection mounting. Connect eight monitored inputs to the protected feeders and route eleven outputs to trip or control circuits. Use removable terminals for easier wiring and ensure Profibus-DP RS-485 communication lines are properly terminated. If IRIG-B monitoring is required, install the IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor option. Finally, verify power, ground, and signal integrity before commissioning.
Key specs include eight inputs and eleven outputs for comprehensive protection logic, with phase currents rated at 5 A and 1 A. The device supports a wide power range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac) and operates at 50/60 Hz. Communication is via Profibus-DP over D-Sub/RS-485, enabling remote configuration and monitoring within industrial networks and automation panels.
Yes, it is designed for feeder protection within industrial automation environments and incorporates conformal coated circuit boards to better withstand moisture and contaminants. Projection mounting simplifies installation in compact cabinets, and removable terminals speed maintenance. For harsher environments, verify additional enclosure rating and site-specific considerations with Eaton.
