EDR-5000-2B1FB1 Distribution Relay - Modbus RTU over Fiber
Part Number: EDR-5000-2B1FB1
Quick Summary
EDR-5000-2B1FB1 is Eaton’s distribution relay designed for feeder protection and real-time monitoring in industrial power systems. It supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication over fiber, enabling robust SCADA integration even in electrically noisy environments. Operators often struggle with accurate fault localization, slow diagnostics, and panel space constraints; this device addresses those challenges with a dense 16-input / 11-output configuration and time-synchronized signaling. The unit operates from a wide power range (19–300 VDC or 40–250 VAC) and can be mounted via projection for flexible installation. Compliance details are manufacturer-specific; verify applicable certifications with Eaton to meet regional requirements. Secondary benefits include conformal coating for harsh environments and built-in protection features that improve maintenance planning and long-term reliability.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EDR-5000-2B1FB1
Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber provides EMI immunity and secure remote communication, reducing diagnostic downtime and enabling seamless SCADA integration in feeder applications. The 16 inputs and 11 outputs support high-density protection logic and zone selective interlocking, enabling precise fault isolation and reduced arc-flash exposure in complex feeders. A wide power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac supports both new installations and retrofits across diverse sites, while projection mounting and removable terminals simplify installation and maintenance. I/O options such as Sensitive Ground Input, Trip Coil Monitor, and IRIG-B time synchronization improve fault detection accuracy and event timestamping for post-event analysis. Conformal-coated boards extend reliability in humid or harsh environments, and the unit’s 50/60 Hz operation ensures compatibility with common industrial power systems. Together, these features boost equipment availability and reduce lifecycle costs in industrial automation settings.

FAQs
Plan for projection mounting with removable terminals to simplify wiring and future maintenance. Ensure adequate space for the 16 input and 11 output I/O, and route fiber optic communications carefully to minimize EMI exposure. Verify the 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac power range and local enclosure ratings, and consult Eaton’s manuals for wiring diagrams and fast-setup recommendations.
Fiber-based Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication delivers high immunity to electrical noise and robust protection against EMI. This enables reliable remote monitoring and faster data transfer to SCADA systems, improving fault diagnosis, alarm management, and coordinated protection actions across multiple feeders.
Yes. The unit supports Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) with a dedicated interlock logic setting, enabling selective tripping to minimize disruption. Its 16 inputs and 11 outputs provide sufficient I/O to coordinate protection schemes, while Modbus or DNP3 over fiber supports rapid communications with upstream protection relays.
The product data lists compliance as manufacturer-specific. Verify applicable certifications with Eaton for your region, including any CE, IP, or SIL requirements pertinent to your installation and industry standards. Align the final specification with local regulatory mandates before commissioning.
By consolidating feeder protection, metering, and time-synced signaling in a single relay, the EDR-5000-2B1FB1 reduces panel space, speeds fault diagnosis, and minimizes downtime. The fiber communications improve reliability in harsh environments, while the conformal coating and robust I/O options lower maintenance costs and extend equipment life.
