Feature → Business Impact → Application: Logic address configurability (1 or 2) reduces commissioning time and prevents address conflicts in multi-device installations, accelerating project timelines and reducing field errors during plant startup. Application: organisms with multiple PXE devices feeding a single controller can be wired and addressed quickly with minimal rework. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Four digital inputs (DI) enable direct sensing of key signals, while two relay outputs (RO) provide immediate actuator control, resulting in tighter control loops and fewer external modules needed. Application: energy monitoring points and local device control in manufacturing lines are streamlined without extra interface hardware. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Two configurable analog inputs (AI) cover 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, and 1-5 V ranges, delivering flexible connection to sensors and transducers; improving data fidelity and reducing conversion costs. Application: real-time current/voltage sensing for energy measurement and process monitoring. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact form factor (3.5 in L x 2.25 in W x 1 in H, 0.25 lb) simplifies panel layouts and enables faster installation, lowering labor costs and improving access for maintenance. Application: retrofit projects and new installations in tight electrical panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 60 Hz frequency rating ensures compatibility with standard industrial power systems, reducing compatibility questions and integration risk. Application: reliable operation in typical North American and many global facilities. Industry-specific context: the PXE-IO3 aligns with Power Xpert energy meters to deliver consolidated energy data, reducing wiring complexity and enabling faster ROI on energy-optimization initiatives.

FAQs
To install the PXE-IO3, begin by mounting the module in the control panel and wiring the four digital inputs, two relay outputs, and two analog inputs to the field devices. Configure the logic address to 1 or 2 to avoid conflicts in multi-device setups. Finally, connect the device to the Power Xpert energy meter network and set the analog ranges as needed (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, 1-5 V). This sequence minimizes commissioning time and reduces wiring errors while ensuring reliable data exchange with the controller.
Key performance considerations include the two configurable analog inputs capable of 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V, or 1-5 V ranges, allowing direct connection to common sensors and transducers. The unit also provides four digital inputs and two relay outputs for reliable I/O interfacing. Operates at 60 Hz, matching standard power systems. When selecting, verify signal compatibility, wiring simplicity, and how the DI/AI channels map to your energy data collection and control strategy.
The provided data does not specify an IP or NEMA enclosure rating for the PXE-IO3. For outdoor or harsh environments, use a properly rated enclosure and install the module in a controlled environment such as a panel or cabinet. Always follow Eaton installation guidelines and local regulations. If environmental exposure is a concern, confirm enclosure protection levels and apply appropriate insulation and sealing to maintain device reliability.
The PXE-IO3 reduces total installed cost by consolidating signal interfaces into a single, compact module, lowering wiring requirements and eliminating the need for multiple adapters. Faster commissioning and simplified troubleshooting further shorten project timelines. Improved energy visibility supports proactive maintenance and data-driven optimization, enabling more accurate energy accounting, reduced waste, and measurable annual savings across manufacturing or facility operations.
PXE-IO3 is designed as an I/O module within the Eaton Power Xpert energy-meter ecosystem, ensuring straightforward compatibility with Power Xpert meters and standard automation controllers used in industrial settings. While it integrates smoothly with Eaton-supplied hardware, verify any third-party controller I/O mappings and signal standards prior to deployment. The modular design supports scalable configurations as your system expands.
