Eaton EDR-5000-2A1BB0 Distribution Relay - Modbus RTU over RS485
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A1BB0
Quick Summary
The Eaton distribution relay is a robust feeder protection device that delivers reliable monitoring and control for industrial power networks. Many teams struggle with integrating protection schemes across Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485, leading to misconfigurations and delayed responses. While critical compliance considerations vary, CE marking and IP-related requirements are common in the sector and should be confirmed with Eaton for your specific installation. For businesses, this model offers flexibility with multiple communication options and scalable I/O, enabling tighter control of feeders, improved outage response times, and reduced engineering effort across sites in industrial automation environments.

FAQs
Begin with mounting the unit using the semi-flush method, then connect the eight inputs and eleven outputs to the protected feeder and associated devices. Attach RS485 lines for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU networks, ensuring proper termination and polarity. Use removable terminals for straightforward field wiring and reference Eaton’s installation guide for configuring zone selective interlocking and ground sensing options.
The device combines eight inputs, eleven outputs, and current sensing with configurable protection and metering across volatile feeder networks. Its Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485 communications enable direct SCADA integration, while the 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac power range and 50/60 Hz support consolidate global deployments and reduce the need for multiple variants.
The EDR-5000-2A1BB0 supports Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU over RS485, providing broad compatibility with common SCADA, historian, and protection platforms. This reduces engineering time, allows centralized monitoring, and enables remote configuration and diagnostics to minimize downtime across feeder networks.
The relay accepts 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac power, and it supports 50/60 Hz operation. This wide range simplifies sourcing for international installations and ensures compatibility with diverse electrical distributions found in industrial facilities and utility-interfaced equipment.
Eaton provides a standard warranty per policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first.
