FAQs
Plan for a compact enclosure footprint (20 in L Ă— 24 in H Ă— 12 in W) with an estimated 80 lb weight. Ensure adequate panel space for the enclosed meter, route Modbus wiring to the PLC/SCADA, and provide proper 120/240 VAC to 24 Vdc power connections. Verify mounting clearances and ensure compatibility with existing Eaton accessories for a smooth retrofit or new build.
Modbus provides a straightforward, widely supported communication path between the Eaton enclosure meter and SCADA or energy-management systems. It enables real-time metering data, trending, and fault diagnostics over a standardized protocol, reducing integration time and enabling centralized energy optimization and asset performance monitoring.
Yes. The unit’s integrated metering, 4-port Ethernet switch, and built-in 24 Vdc power supply simplify designs, cutting wiring, interconnects, and the number of separate components. Its rugged NEMA 12 enclosure supports factory environments, and the compact form factor makes it a practical fit for both new builds and retrofit projects seeking faster deployment.
The enclosure is rated for NEMA 12 protection, which guards against dust and light splashing of water in typical indoor industrial settings. While CE or IP certifications are common in regional variants, verify your region’s specific compliance and any UL/CSA requirements with the local distributor or Eaton datasheets to ensure regulatory alignment.
The single, integrated unit reduces wiring, enclosure count, and panel complexity, delivering faster installation and lower maintenance overhead. With built-in metering and connectivity, operators gain immediate visibility into energy use, enabling proactive maintenance, energy optimization, and potentially lower operating costs over the equipment lifecycle.
