FAQs

Plan for the D-Sub/RS-485 Profibus-DP interface and ensure proper cabling to the 16 input and 11 output I/O. Take advantage of removable terminals and projection mounting to simplify wiring, testing, and future upgrades. Use PowerPort-E or similar configuration tools for advanced setup and diagnostics within standard industrial automation practices.
Key specs include a broad power-supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, a 50/60 Hz frequency rating, and current sensing inputs rated at 5 A and 1 A per phase. With 16 inputs and 11 outputs, the relay enables detailed protection, metering, and coordinated tripping across multiple feeders for reliable energy distribution.
Yes. Its 16 I/O points support complex protection schemes, Profibus-DP/RS-485 communication facilitates integration with PLC/DCS environments, and zone selective interlocking helps minimize downtime by isolating faults to the affected feeder only, which is critical in high-availability facilities like data centers and manufacturing lines.
Certification details are not listed in the provided spec. For regulatory compliance, contact Eaton to confirm CE, UL/SIL, IP ratings, and region-specific approvals applicable to your installation and operating environment.
Removable terminals and projection mounting simplify field installation and future upgrades, reducing commissioning time. Built-in protection and metering across multiple feeders improve uptime, while centralized diagnostics via Profibus-DP/RS-485 reduce maintenance effort and support faster fault resolution, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
