Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A1EA1 - Profibus-DP
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A1EA1
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A1EA1 delivers robust feeder protection and control for industrial power distribution. Engineers often struggle with coordinating protection schemes, diagnostics, and PLC integration in crowded control panels. Regional safety standards and certificates vary by market, and Eaton provides region-specific compliance documentation upon request. This model combines Profibus-DP communication, a wide power range (19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac) and an 8/11 I/O footprint, enabling scalable protection logic. With these capabilities, you can streamline panel wiring, improve fault visibility, and reduce downtime across automation facilities.
