FAQs

Begin by wiring the device to the D-Sub RS-485 PROFIBUS-DP interface and ensuring the 19–300 Vdc / 40–250 Vac power supply is within range. Connect the 8 inputs and 11 outputs per your feeder protection scheme, then configure zone interlocking and sensing parameters in the controller software. Use removable terminals for easier field termination and verify network addressing to prevent conflicts.
Confirm a supply range of 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac with 50/60 Hz operation and proper wiring for 8 inputs and 11 outputs. Ensure the system supports Profibus-DP over D-Sub / RS-485, as well as the Sensitive Ground Input feature. Check current protection and metering options, including phase current ratings of 5A and 1A to match your load profiles.
Yes. The EDR-5000-2A1EB0 is designed for feeder protection with configurable protection and metering capabilities, compatible with Profibus-DP networks for centralized monitoring. Its conformal coating, rugged inputs/outputs, and zone selective interlocking support fast fault isolation, making it suitable for process automation environments where reliability and quick recovery matter.
Certification details are typically provided by the manufacturer and can vary by region. Look for CE marking, IP ratings, and SIL considerations as part of safety and environmental requirements. For this Eaton model, confirm exact compliance with Eaton or your regional distributor to ensure alignment with your facility’s regulatory and safety standards.
Expected ROI comes from reduced downtime due to faster fault isolation, simplified wiring with Profibus-DP, and lower maintenance through conformal-coated boards. Maintenance considerations include periodic verification of network communications, protection settings, and inspection of removable terminals. A single unit can replace multiple discrete relays, lowering spare parts and installation costs over the system lifecycle.
