Power Monitoring in a Networked World

Guaranteeing power availability, managing utility costs and ensuring power
quality are more important than ever as organizations rely on their
expanding technology infrastructure to drive business. Effective monitoring
of the power system is critical to responding to threats, preventing
downtime and optimizing performance, which translates to greater reliability
and cost efficiencies down the road. The Eaton PXG600 provides web-
enabled, real-time monitoring of Eaton Electrical and other vendors’
equipment through standard, on-board web pages, Power Xpert Software or
third party software. As an integral part of the Eaton Power Xpert
Architecture, which provides end-to-end power system management, the
PXG600 provides a central point to connect up to 96 devices to the Ethernet
network. The gateway may be used as a standalone device to view one
system or location, or it can be easily integrated into a large, multi-location
system.

Easy Integration into Multi-Protocol Environments

The PXG600 is typically installed in an electrical assembly — a motor control
center, low / medium voltage switchgear or switchboard, for example — to
consolidate the data available from components such as breakers, meters,
motor controllers and protective relays. It can also be mounted in a
communications cabinet or as a standalone unit. Ideal for multi-protocol
environments, the PXG600 translates the most popular industrial protocols –
INCOM, QCPort and Modbus RTU — into HTML, making devices
communicating with these protocols visible on the network. The PXG600
also supports Modbus TCP and SNMP for integration with third party
building management and network management systems. Once the devices
are visible, they can be monitored and managed via the web. Information is
presented in organized, user-friendly web pages that include a login page, a
system summary status page and device detail page that include real-time
data, such as:
• Device status
• Current
• Voltage
• Power
• Energy
• Frequency
• Demand
• Power factor
• Voltage THD

Chapter 5 PXG600 Theory of Operation

This section explains how the PXG600 works and provides information that
will help you configure, install and integrate the product successfully.
The PXG600 allows you to access and view data from multiple devices on a
mix of downstream industrial networks via multiple clients on an Ethernet
Local Area Network (LAN). Supported industrial network protocols include
INCOM, QCPort and Modbus RTU. The PXG600 is capable of supporting
INCOM, QCPort and Modbus RTU devices simultaneously. This provides the
ability to communicate with Eaton and third party equipment using one
PXG600. A typical Power Xpert system, incorporating Power Xpert
Gateways, is shown in Figure 3.

Supported Downstream Networks

The PXG600 can simultaneously support INCOM, QCPort and Modbus RTU
networks. The COM1 and COM2 networks must be configured during set-up
to support either QCPort or Modbus RTU.
The PXG600 can support a total of 96 devices at a time between the three
ports.

Individual port limits:

• INCOM port – 64 device limit
• COM1 port – 32 device limit, supports either QCPort or Modbus RTU
devices
• COM2 port – 32 device limit, supports either QCPort or Modbus RTU
devices

Therefore, INCOM port + COM1 port + COM2 port cannot exceed 96

devices

INCOM Network
The PXG600 continuously exchanges data with devices on an INCOM
network and makes that data available via an embedded web server and
several other Ethernet protocols. This data exchange includes selected data
buffer reads and INCOM slave actions. Additionally, the PXG600 supports
synchronization of clocks on INCOM devices that support the set time and
date command.
In addition to the continuous data exchange, the PXG600 supports pass-
through of encapsulated INCOM messages over Ethernet. This pass-through
capability allows the use of existing PowerNet software to configure INCOM
devices from the Ethernet port of the PXG600.

QCPort Network
The PXG600 continuously exchanges data with devices on a QCPort network
and makes that data available via an embedded web server and several
other Ethernet protocols. This data exchange includes selected input reads.
In addition to the continuous data exchange, the PXG600 supports pass-
through of encapsulated QCPort messages over Ethernet. This pass-through
capability allows the use of existing CH Studio software to configure QCPort
devices from the Ethernet port of the PXG600.

Modbus RTU Network

The PXG600 continuously exchanges data with devices on a Modbus RTU
network and makes that data available via an embedded web server and
several other Ethernet protocols. This data exchange includes selected input
register reads.
In addition to the continuous data exchange, the PXG600 supports direct
Modbus TCP pass-through functionality to access the Modbus RTU devices
from the Ethernet port of the PXG600. This pass-through capability allows
access to all read and write registers in a Modbus RTU device. It also allows
for the use of any third party Modbus RTU device configuration tools that
support connectivity through a standard Modbus TCP gateway.

Supported Downstream Devices

The PXG600 has been pre-configured to connect to many “downstream”
devices available from Eaton and other manufacturers. Each supported
device is described using a pre-loaded Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file. As
new EDS files are released by Eaton, they can be downloaded to your
PXG600. Refer to the supported device list available online at
www.eaton.com/powerxpert.
The EDS identifies important data from each device. This enables the
PXG600 to automatically access device data and present it to “upstream”
clients on the LAN such as web browsers. Device data maps that describe
the type of data available from each supported device have been included in
the PXG600 CD-ROM and are also available online at
www.eaton.com/powerxpert.

Accessing Device Data from the Ethernet LAN

The PXG600 provides support for several different types of “upstream”
clients on the LAN:
• Web Browser
• Eaton Power Xpert Software
• Modbus TCP client
• SNMP based network management tools
• SMTP supports sending email across the Internet
Details on operation with these clients can be found in PXG600 System
Integration on page 141.
The PXG600 can support multiple types of clients accessing the data at the
same time such as looking at the data via a web browser while exchanging
data with the Power Xpert Software. The PXG600 can also support multiple
instances of a type of client, such as accessing data via two web browsers at
the same time. Performance may be compromised if multiple clients access
the PXG600 simultaneously.
NOTICE: The recommendation is that you not exceed any
combination of three supported connections at a time.

Viewing Device Data Using a Web Browser

The PXG600 provides a three-tiered web view of your power system that
“bubbles up” key summary information to a home screen, and allows a user
to “drill down” to details on individual devices. These screens are
automatically created after you configure the PXG600. Figure 4 shows the

Home Web Page

The home web page provides a status summary of the Main electrical feeds
and groups of devices represented by Buses. This allows the status of large
systems to easily be reviewed “at a glance.” Descriptions of active events in
the system are also “bubbled up” to the home screen. Figure 5 shows an
example of the home page.

PXG600_238

Figure 5
The status of the Mains and Buses are summarized on the home page. The
Mains and Buses are grouped together with summarized device status and
communication status for the group. Each group has two flags associated
with it, a device status flag and a communications flag.
Possible Device Status indications are:
• OK (green) - no events present on any connected device
• Events (red) - one or more events present on one or more connected
devices
• No Devices (gray) - there are no devices configured
The Events are summarized by their associated group immediately below
the group status box. The events box can be expanded or collapsed. Active
events are shown in chronological order, newest event at the top of the list,
and will be removed from the list once closed. Native device events, user-
defined device events and waveforms will be shown. The device will be
identified, cause of the event noted and time-stamped.
Possible Communication Status indications are:
• Online (green) - all connected devices communicating with the PXG
• Offline (red) - one or more connected devices not communicating with
the PXG. If you rollover the offline indicator, it will display how many
connected devices are currently offline.
• No Devices (gray) - there are no devices configured

Buses Page
The Buses page provides key parameters from all of the downstream
devices configured in the PXG600 device list. This provides a single page
where overall operating conditions can be monitored. Figure 6 shows an
example of a Buses page.

PXG600_239

Figure 6
On the Buses page, the downstream devices are listed under the “Bus”
group to which they are assigned. Each device has two flags associated with
it, a device status flag and a communications flag. The status flags operate in
a similar fashion as the home page as described previously. The key
parameters that are reported on the Buses page differ depending on the type
of device. In this example, power meters are connected to the PXG600, and
the currents and percent current capacity are “bubbled up” to the Buses
screen.

Device Pages
Every downstream device connected to the PXG600 has an individual device
monitoring page. This page provides detailed data from the device.
Figure 7 shows an example of a device page for a power meter.

Accessing the PXG600 on the Ethernet LAN

Devices on an Ethernet LAN are accessed by the use of their Internet
Protocol (IP) address. The PXG600 will support either a static assignment of
the IP address, which stays constant, or assignment of the address from a
DHCP server. The method you choose to use will be determined by your
installation and system integration needs. More information on IP address
assignment and DHCP servers is provided in Connecting to an Ethernet
LAN on page 165.

Configuring the PXG600 via the USB

You can also configure the PXG600 by connecting it through its USB port.
When you connect your Windows computer to the USB port, you will be
able to access the same web interface that you can see from the LAN. This
can be useful in cases where the address on the LAN is not known, or when
a LAN port connection is not available. A USB driver is provided on the
PXG600 CD-ROM and must be loaded on your computer to use this feature.
More information on loading the USB driver is provided in USB Driver
Installation on page 157.

Configuration of Downstream Devices from the LAN

The data mapped for a device does not normally include all of its
configuration parameters, so device configuration via the PXG600 web
pages is not generally supported. However, the PXG600 has built-in,
pass-through mechanisms which allow some specific tools to gain direct
access to the “downstream” device via the Ethernet LAN. More details on
pass-through can be found in Accessing the PXG600 from Eaton
Software Products on page 141.

PXG Real Time Clock

The PXG600 maintains an internal real time clock. This clock can be set
manually through the Web UI or automatically synchronized to a system
clock using NTP.
This clock is used to time stamp data and events from “downstream”
devices. The resulting time stamped events and data can be viewed in the
PXG600 web pages or automatically reported to the Power Xpert Software
for integration into an enterprise power management system.
To support high accuracy of event time stamps, the PXG600 also integrates
the capability to synchronize the clocks in certain INCOM devices to the real
time clock in the PXG600. The list of devices that support this feature can be
found on the PXG600 device data map. Please refer to the device data map
at www.eaton.com/powerxpert.

Trend Viewing
The PXG600 allows the user to view real-time trend graphs for individual
parameters for supported devices. The user can select to enable trending on
the Device Configuration page. Once trending is enabled, an icon will be
displayed next to the trended parameters on the Device page. Clicking on the
icon will take you to the trend graph for that particular parameter. There is
an option to view the past 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or All Data when you
access the Trend Graph page. It should be noted that if this option is not
selected for a given device, the data will not be available to graph and it will
not be published to Power Xpert Software and it will not be populated in the
data log. The list of devices that support this feature can be found on the
PXG600 device data map. Please refer to the device data map at
www.eaton.com/powerxpert.

Data, Interval and Event Logs

The PXG600 stores both historical data and events that can be downloaded
into a human readable file, CSV format. This file can be used to perform
analysis to discover potential system issues or perform maintenance on a
proactive basis.

Waveforms
The PXG600 supports waveform acquisition for selected devices capable of
generating waveforms. This feature is user-selectable on the device
configuration page. The waveform files are converted and stored as a
COMTRADE file format. The files can then be downloaded and viewed using
a standard COMTRADE waveform viewer. The list of devices that support
this feature can be found on the PXG600 device data map. Please refer to the
device data map at www.eaton.com/powerxpert.
NOTICE: The Modbus communication versions of the Feeder
Protector and Motor Protector relays (i.e. FP5000 and FP6000) are
not capable of generating waveforms.

RETURN

Device Events
Downstream devices often report key operating status information that
warrants immediate attention. The PXG600 identifies a set of key status
values for each device and generates “Events” in response to changes in
these status values. An example of a device event is an overcurrent trip on a
circuit beaker.
Events are time stamped and displayed prominently on the home page of
the PXG600. The PXG600 provides the option for a user to acknowledge the
event, retains the time that the acknowledgement occurred and reports this
in the event log. It is also possible to add a Note at the time of
acknowledgement that will also be reported in the event log. Acknowledging
an event does not close it. An acknowledged event will still display on the
home page. Closing the event will remove it from the home page display.
In addition to displaying events on its home page, the PXG600 reports
events to the Power Xpert Software. These events will then be integrated
with those from across the power system, providing unified enterprise level
event management.
Please refer to the device data map at www.eaton.com/powerxpert for
the list of events that are supported by each device.

User-Defined Events
The PXG600 supports the setting of user-defined events on an individual
device basis. This feature is set via the device configuration page. An
example of a user-defined event would be a Low and High threshold on
Phase A Current for a device. The event threshold values and the event
names can be chosen by the user. These event notices behave in the same
manner as the Device Events described above. Please refer to the device
data map at www.eaton.com/powerxpert for the list of parameters that
can be configured with upper and lower event thresholds.
NOTICE: Time-based parameters cannot be set for user-defined
events as threshold alarming because the parameters hold hours
and minutes of time.

Security
Security of your power equipment is a critical issue. The PXG600
incorporates a multi-layer set of security features to ensure your facility is
not compromised while providing you powerful connectivity capabilities.

Password Protection
The PXG600 provides a two-level password authorization mechanism to
control access to data via the web user interface or from the web services
interface used by the Power Xpert Software.
The “user level” of authorization provides:
• “View only” access to data from the downstream devices
• Ability to view trend data as well as view and delete data, event and
interval logs
• Ability to download and delete waveforms
The “user level” access does not allow for any configuration changes to the
PXG600 itself.
The “admin level” of authorization allows for reading and setting data in
downstream devices. Admin level also allows for configuration changes to
the PXG600.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, immediately change
the user and admin passwords after the initial login. Refer to
Configuration of Password on page 91 for details.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, only provide the
admin password to those individuals who will need to configure the
PXG600 or trigger device actions.

Secure Web Browsing

You have the option to encrypt exchanges with the PXG600’s embedded web
server. This will ensure that information and passwords exchanged with the
PXG’s web server cannot be intercepted on the LAN. To login to the secure
web server you must install a root Certificate Authority (CA). Refer to Root
Certificate Authority Installation on page 167.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, use the SSL
connection to the PXG600 web UI by entering HTTPS://196.168.1.1
(if using default IP address) in your web browser.

Access Control / Trusted Host List

The PXG600 is designed to be integrated into a variety of systems; therefore,
it is designed to allow SNMP, Modbus TCP and pass-through functionality
from any outside computer. While it is desirable to provide open
connectivity, it is prudent to restrict access to only those computers that you
trust or wish to have access. The PXG600 provides protocol “ports” on the
Ethernet LAN for accessing:
• Modbus TCP
• SNMPv1
• Encapsulated INCOM (used by PowerNet Software)
• Encapsulated QCPort (used by CH Studio Software)
There are two distinct parts to restricting access:
1. Enabling/Disabling Access Control
2. Entering the IP addresses or host names of trusted computers if you
enable Access Control
Refer to Access Control on page 106 for configuration details.

Modbus TCP Enable / Modbus TCP Write Enable

Modbus TCP is a very common and simple protocol for data access. Many
commercial products and freely available software will provide access to a
Modbus TCP server device. The PXG600 provides two additional controls to
help ensure the security of your system while still offering the option of
Modbus TCP data access.
The PXG600 provides the ability to turn off all access to Modbus TCP even
when you have allowed access to trusted hosts or open access to the other
protocols listed in the previous section. Refer to Configuring Modbus TCP
Feature on page 89 for details.
NOTICE: Turning off Modbus TCP access will also prohibit the use
of CH Studio software for configuration of QCPort devices.
A second control within the configuration will disable all writes via Modbus
TCP.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, if you will not be
using Modbus TCP, leave (set) the Modbus TCP port to disabled. If
you will be reading data from Modbus TCP but not writing data,
enable the port and disable Modbus TCP writes.
NOTICE: Access Control for SNMP and Modbus TCP is set On as the
default.

Adding Downstream Devices

Downstream devices are added to the PXG600 using the device list editor.
As you add devices to the device list, you will also enter information that
allows the web page views served by your PXG600 to be automatically
generated.

Mains, Buses and Devices

The device list editor uses these three objects to help you organize your
system view.
A Main represents a primary electrical feed entering the facility or
equipment. A Main can be:
• Unmonitored
• Monitored by a meter and / or monitored by a trip unit
A Bus represents a group of devices. It will often be used to indicate a group
of electrical monitoring devices connected to the same power Bus.
Devices are the actual communicating units that are connected to one of
the downstream communications ports of the PXG600.

Recommended Procedure
The following procedure is recommended to configure the device list of the
PXG600:
1. Plan your system – The following information will be required as you set
up the PXG600 device list:
a. Mains and Buses you would like to define for your system.
b. Current capacity of monitored circuits (optional).
c. List of downstream devices (i.e. IQ230M) and their downstream port
addresses.
d. Names you want to assign to the devices, Mains and Buses.
2. Enter Mains
3. Enter Buses
4. Add Devices to Buses
NOTICE: Based on the number of devices being added, a scrollbar
may appear on the right side of the PXG screen. The user can scroll
up or down to view all of the devices installed on the system.

Devices That Connect to PXG600 via Submaster

This section explains how to add devices downstream that connect to the
PXG600 via a submaster. In this scenario the submaster is connected directly
to the PXG600 and the field devices are connected to the submaster.
NOTICE: The PXG600 can monitor the status of the field devices
but you MUST understand and follow certain configuration
guidelines to do this correctly.
1. Add the submaster to the PXG600 using the instructions in section
Devices That Connect Directly to PXG600 on page 68.
NOTICE: An example of adding a submaster would be adding IQ
Multipoint Energy Submeter II (IQMESII) to the PXG600.
2. Map out the field devices.
NOTICE: A IQMESII module can handle up to 16 meter points
(IQMESII sensor).
• Each meter point may be configured to represent a unique
meter (i.e., single-phase, two-wire, 120 Vac meter). In this
configuration up to 16 meters can be connected to the
IQMESII module.
• Two meter points are configured to represent a unique meter
(i.e., two-pole, 120/240 Vac meter). In this configuration up to
8 meters can be connected to the IQMESII module.
• Three meter points are configured to represent a unique
meter (i.e., three-pole, 3-phase meter). In this configuration
up to 5 meters can be connected to the IQMESII module.
• A combination of single-phase, two-pole and three-pole
meters may also be added to the IQMESII module
• It is imperative that you keep a copy of the map next to the
PXG600(s) that will monitor these sensors. That is the only
way you will understand what the meter points represent
when you review reports from the PXG600.

IP Address Setup
Network Configuration allows you to select whether your PXG automatically
obtains an IP address (DHCP) or uses a statically assigned IP address. You
can also enter the static IP address and associated parameters on this web
page.
NOTICE: It is highly recommended that you consult with your
network administrator before attempting to change Network
Configuration. See Connecting to an Ethernet LAN on page 165 for
detailed information on Network Configuration.
NOTICE: The Network Administration page provides all of the
TCP/IP communications settings. You have two choices for
configuring the PXG:
• Fixed IP address
• DHCP which resolves to a fixed IP address
You should not use a DHCP setup that can assign an IP address
from a pool of possible addresses. Software that may be connected
to the PXG, such as PXS, accesses the PXG via its IP address.
Therefore if the PXG looses power and receives a new IP address on
power up the connection from the software to the PXG will be
broken.

Access Control
The PXG600 is designed to be integrated into a variety of systems; therefore,
it is designed to allow SNMP, Modbus TCP and pass-through functionality
from any outside computer. While it is desirable to provide open
connectivity, it is prudent to restrict access to only those computers that you
trust or wish to have access. The PXG600 provides protocol “ports” on the
Ethernet LAN for accessing:
• Modbus TCP
• SNMPv1
• Encapsulated INCOM (used by PowerNet Software)
• Encapsulated QCPort (used by CH Studio Software)
There are two distinct parts to restricting access:
1. Enabling/Disabling Access Control
2. Entering the IP addresses or host names of trusted computers if you
enable Access Control
The PXG600 factory default setting is with Access Control enabled and NO
trusted hosts listed. With these settings, no access will be allowed using any
of the previously listed protocols.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, if you WILL NOT be
using any of the previously listed protocols, leave (set) access
control enabled with no trusted host IP addresses entered.
NOTICE: To ensure the security of your system, if you ARE using
any of the previously listed protocols, AND you can identify the
client IP addresses, leave (set) access control enabled and enter the
trusted host IP addresses.
NOTICE: Access Control for SNMP and Modbus TCP is set On as the
default.

To permit, and limit, communications to computers you trust, enter
those IP addresses or hostnames in the Trusted Hosts box below.
Note: If you specify hostnames of trusted computers, you must
configure the IP address of a DNS server on the Network
Configuration screen.
Disabling Access Control will allow any computer access to SNMP,
Modbus TCP communications, and pass-through functionality.
NOTICE: Follow the instructions in the IP Address Setup on
page 92 to list the IP address of a DNS server.

SNMP
The PXG600 provides SNMPv1 functionality, which allows network
management software (NMS) to obtain supported MIB data directly from the
gateway. The following MIBs are supported by the PXG600:
• RFC 1213 MIB-II (groups: sys, if, ip, udp, tcp, snmp) – RFC1213-MIB.txt
• RFC 4133 Entity MIB (groups: entityPhysical, entityGeneral) – ENTITY-
MIB.txt
• RFC 4268 EntityState MIB (entStateTable, entStateNotifications) –
ENTITY-STATE-MIB.txt
• RFC 4268 Entity State MIB Part 2 (state values for the Entity State MIB) –
ENTITY-STATE-TC-MIB.txt
• PCD MIB (Power-Chain Device index)
• Eaton’s own PXG MIB (alarms group, pxgNotifications) – EATON-PXG-
MIB.txt
• Meter MIB (Power-Meter index)
Proper configuration of the PXG600 and NMS requires that there be a
community string match before requested MIB data is returned from the
PXG600.

Configuring Email Reports

The PXG600 has the capability of sending an email when the PXG detects a
native device event or a user-defined device event. Please refer to the device
data map at www.eaton.com/powerxpert for the list of events that are
native for each device. You can attach an event log and / or data log to each
event email.
The PXG600 can also send an email on a periodic basis. Each periodic status
email has an event log and data log attached to it.
The PXG600 uses Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send each email.
NOTICE: Properly configuring email reports should be considered
an important step in configuring a Main or a Bus device.
NOTICE: Refer to your IT department or ISP for the proper entries

Trend Viewing
The PXG600 allows the user to view real-time trend graphs for individual
parameters for supported devices. The user can select to enable trending on
the Device Configuration page. Once trending is enabled, an icon will be
displayed next to the trended parameters on the Device page. Clicking on the
icon will take you to the trend graph for that particular parameter. There is
an option to view the past 2 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or All Data
when you access the Trend Graph page. It should be noted that if this option
is not selected for a given device, the data will not be available to graph and
it will not be published to Power Xpert Software and it will not be populated
in the data log. The list of devices that support this feature can be found on
the PXG600 device data map. Please refer to the device data map at

Chapter 10 PXG600 System Integration

This section provides additional details on integrating the PXG600 with
common network clients.

Accessing the PXG600 from Eaton Software Products

The PXG600 is compatible with the following Eaton software products that
can be connected to the Ethernet LAN.

PowerNet Software
The PXG600 can be accessed from PowerNet software over the Ethernet
LAN. PowerNet software can monitor and configure devices that are
connected to the INCOM port of the PXG600. PowerNet software will NOT be
able to access data from Modbus RTU or QCPort devices.
To support this connection, the PXG600 supports the Encapsulated INCOM
over Ethernet protocol. Messages from PowerNet are routed through to the
destination device on the INCOM network. The full data set of the INCOM
device is available to the PowerNet software.
To configure the PowerNet software so it connects to the PXG600, select an
EMINT from the software device list to represent the PXG600 when
configuring the PowerNet device server.

Power Xpert Software

The PXG600 can be accessed from the Power Xpert Software. More details
on configuring the Power Xpert Software can be found in the Power Xpert
Software User Guide.

CH Studio
The PXG600 can be accessed by CH Studio V2.2 software to configure
devices on the QCPort network.

Connecting to Modbus TCP Clients

The PXG600 can be accessed from software and devices that operate as
Modbus TCP Clients. The PXG600 acts as a Modbus server to these clients.
This means that it will respond to data requests from the client but will not
initiate data transfers. The following PXG600 configuration is required to
connect to a Modbus TCP client:
• Access control: enabled with the Modbus TCP client listed as a trusted
host (recommended) OR Access control disabled (less secure).
• Modbus TCP: enabled.
• Modbus Writes: enabled if INCOM slave action writes are used.
Otherwise disabled.

Accessing Data from Downstream INCOM, QCPort

and Modbus RTU Devices
The PXG600 maps data from the devices on the INCOM, COM1 and COM2
port (QCPort or Modbus RTU) to registers that can be accessed by requests
from the Modbus TCP client.

Addressing the Target Downstream Device

Each “downstream” device is assigned a unique Modbus TCP Unit ID. This
unit ID can be found on the Device Summary. Refer to the PXG600 Device
Summary Web Page Details on page 124 for examples. This unit ID is
used as the Modbus TCP unit identifier by the Modbus TCP client.
To access data from a “downstream” device, the Modbus TCP client
generates a request to the IP address of the PXG600 with the unit identifier
set to access the targeted “downstream” device. Consult the user
information of your Modbus TCP client to determine how to set the unit
identifier on a message.

Downstream Device Register Map

Each “downstream” device supported by the PXG600 has a fixed register
map. This map contains all of the data that is identified in the EDS file for the
device. The register maps for all supported devices are included on the
PXG600 CD-ROM that is shipped with the PX600. This map shows the
register assignments and data formats for the supported parameters.

Triggering INCOM Slave Actions from Modbus TCP

The PXG600 supports a selected set of slave actions on some of the INCOM
devices. The supported slave actions are listed in the register map of the
device. See the user’s manual for the specific INCOM device for information
on the specific slave action command functionality.
The slave action command is sent to the target INCOM device every time
you perform a write to the corresponding Modbus TCP register. You only
have to perform the write once to trigger the command. Use the write value
of “1.”
NOTICE: Additional slave actions are available for select INCOM
devices. Refer to www.eaton.com/powerxpert for these updated
EDS files.

Supported Function Codes

The PXG600 supports the following Modbus TCP function codes:

Code Description
03 Read Holding Register
04 Read Input Register
06 Write Single Register

Modbus Pass-Through to Modbus RTU Devices

The PXG600 supports a direct pass-through mode to Modbus RTU devices.
This mode of operation is only available for the Modbus RTU “downstream”
devices.

 CHAPTER 10 - PXG600 SYSTEM INTEGRATION
RETURN

Addressing the Target Pass-Through Downstream Modbus RTU

Device
Each “downstream” Modbus RTU device is assigned a unique Modbus TCP
pass-through unit ID. This unit ID is the Modbus serial device address on the
COM1 network. This unit ID is used as the Modbus TCP unit identifier by the
Modbus TCP client when pass-through mode is desired.
To access data from a “downstream” pass-through device, the Modbus TCP
client generates a request to the IP address of the PXG600 with the unit
identifier set to access the targeted pass-through “downstream” device.
Consult the user information of your Modbus TCP client to determine how to
address the device with a register address and count.
NOTICE: Pass-through can be used to access Modbus RTU devices
added to the PXG600 device list AND Modbus RTU devices not
added to the PXG device list. The PXG internally manages access to
the Modbus RTU devices to ensure message collisions do not occur.

Downstream Device Pass-Through Register Map

The register map for pass-through mode is the register map provided by the
device vendor on Modbus RTU.

Supported Function Codes

Using pass-through mode, the Modbus RTU device documentation specifies
the supported function codes.

SNMP
The PXG600 provides SNMPv1 functionality which allows network
management software (NMS) to obtain supported MIB data directly from the
gateway. The following MIBs are supported by the PXG600:
• RFC 1213 MIB-II (groups: sys, if, ip, udp, tcp, snmp) – RFC1213-MIB.txt
• RFC 4133 Entity MIB (groups: entityPhysical, entityGeneral) – ENTITY-
MIB.txt
• RFC 4268 EntityState MIB (entStateTable, entStateNotifications) –
ENTITY-STATE-MIB.txt
• RFC 4268 Entity State MIB Part 2 (state values for the Entity State MIB) –
ENTITY-STATE-TC-MIB.txt
• PCD MIB (Power-Chain Device index)
• Eaton’s own PXG MIB (alarms group, pxgNotifications) – EATON-PXG-
MIB.txt
• Meter MIB (Power-Meter index)
Proper configuration of the PXG600 and NMS requires that there be a
community string match before requested MIB data is returned from the
PXG600. See SNMP on page 108 for instructions on SNMP configuration.

 APPENDIX C - CONNECTING TO AN ETHERNET LAN
RETURN

Appendix C Connecting to an Ethernet LAN

To place the PXG600 on your Ethernet LAN, you will need to decide between
manually assigning an IP address to the PXG600 Ethernet LAN port or
having one assigned from an existing DHCP server.

Using a DHCP Server to Assign an IP Address

To set up the PXG600 in a DHCP environment, the network administrator
must set up the DHCP server to provide a static address each time the
PXG600 makes a DHCP request.
You will need to provide your local network administrator with the PXG600’s
MAC address as printed on the label on the top of the unit.
Once you’ve requested a static IP address to be assigned from an existing
DHCP server, your network administrator should be able to tell you what the
IP address will be.
Write the expected static IP address down in the space provided in the
Network Configuration on page 4 for future reference.
Once the network administrator has added the PXG600 to the DHCP server,
you should be able to move forward with connecting the gateway to the
Ethernet LAN.

Manually Assigning an IP Address

To set up the PXG600 with a manually assigned IP address (and related
settings), you should request the following from your network administrator
for permanent assignment to your gateway:
• IP Address
• Netmask
• Gateway
• DNS Server
Once the network administrator has provided you with the assignments, you
can enter them on the Network Configuration web page.
Write these values down in the spaces provided in Technical Data Sheet
on page 3 for future reference.

Appendix D Root Certificate Authority Installation

Improve the security of your PXG600 on the Web by installing a root
Certificate Authority (CA). A CA is a trusted third-party organization that
issues digital certificates for use with encrypted digital transactions. The
digital certificate guarantees that the company holding a certificate is who it
claims to be.
You can use the PXG600 without installing a root CA (using http), but the
transactions will not be as secure as with the root CA (using https). The
performance of the PXG600 is not impacted by using secure transactions.

TCP, INCOM Passthrough, QCPort Passthrough and SNMP to Trusted Hosts.
It has functions that are similar to a security firewall.
AWG (M) American Wire Gauge: Standard wire cross-section area
Baud Rate: A measure of the symbol rate; that is, the number of distinct
symbol changes (signalling events) made to the transmission medium per
second in a digitally modulated signal.
Bus: A Bus represents a group of devices. It will often be used to indicate a
group of electrical monitoring devices connected to the same power Bus.
CH Studio: An Eaton software program that supports configuration and
monitoring of QCPort devices.
Coordinated Universal Time: See UTC
.CSV file format: A comma delimited format where each record is a single
line and each field in the record is indicated by a comma.
Device: A device is the actual communicating unit that is connected to one of
the downstream communications ports of the PXG600.
DHCP: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a set of rules used by
communications devices such as a computer, router or network adapter to
allow the device to request and obtain an IP address from a server which has
a list of addresses available for assignment.
DIN Rail Mounting: DIN is short for Deutsches Insitut für Normung eV, the
standards setting organization for Germany. A DIN rail is a mounting rail that
conforms to one of the standards defined by DIN. The Ethernet Switch may
be mounted using a DIN rail.
DNS IP Address: Location of server that provides mapping of names to IP
addresses. It is a configuration setting that is provided by the IT manager.
DNS Server: On the Internet, the Domain Name System (DNS) stores and
associates many types of information with domain names; most
importantly, it translates domain names (computer hostnames) to IP
addresses. It also lists mail exchange servers accepting e-mail for each
domain. In providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, DNS
is an essential component of contemporary Internet use.
EDS (Electronic Data Sheet): A worksheet that defines supported data
parameters for a specific device.
Ethernet: Ethernet is a large, diverse family of frame-based computer
networking technologies that operates at many speeds for Local Area
Networks (LANs). The name comes from the physical concept of the ether. It
defines a number of wiring and signaling standards for the physical layer,
through means of network access at the Media Access Control (MAC)/Data
Link Layer, and a common addressing format (Ethernet and Timing).
Event: A trigger indicating that a data value is out of range, a device has
changed state or a waveform has been generated. The PXG600 supports
native device events, user-defined events and waveforms.

Gateway Address: Gateways that connect two IP-based networks, like TCP/IP
with IPX/SPX, have two IP addresses, one on each network. An address like
192.168.1.xxx is a Local Area Network address, and is the address to which
traffic is sent from the LAN. The other IP address is the Wide Area Network
address; this is the address to which traffic is sent coming from the WAN.
When this is the Internet, that address is usually assigned by an ISP.
HTML: HTML, short for HyperText Markup Language, is the predominant
markup language for the creation of web pages. It provides a means to
describe the structure of text-based information in a document — by
denoting certain text as headings, paragraphs, lists, and so on — and to
supplement that text with interactive forms, embedded images, and other
objects.
HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol is a method used to transfer or convey
information on the World Wide Web. Its original purpose was to provide a
way to publish and retrieve HTML pages.
Ia, Ib, Ic: Phase currents for phases a, b and c respectively
INCOM: Eaton proprietary communication protocol (Industrial
Communication Network)
INCOM Device: Device that supports INCOM protocol
IP: The Internet Protocol (IP) is a data-oriented protocol used for
communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork.
IP Address: An IP Address (Internet Protocol Address) is a unique address
that certain electronic devices use in order to identify and communicate with
each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard
(IP) — in simpler terms, a computer address. Any participating network
device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax
machines, and some telephones — can have their own unique address.
kVa: Kilovolt-Ampere
KVah: Kilovolt-Ampere Hour
KVAr: Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive
KVArh: Kilovolt-Ampere reactive Hour
kWh: Kilowatt Hour
Lag: The phase delay in current with respect to voltage.
LAN: Local Area Network
LED: Light Emitting Diode
mA: MilliAmpere - 1/1000 of an ampere
MAC Address: In computer networking, a Media Access Control address
(MAC address) is a unique identifier attached to most network adapters
(NICs). It is a number that acts like a name for a particular network adapter,
so, for example, the network cards (or built-in network adapters) in two
different computers will have different names, or MAC addresses, as would
an Ethernet adapter and a wireless adapter in the same computer, and as
would multiple network cards in a router. However, it is possible to change
the MAC address on most of today's hardware.

Main: A Main represents a primary electrical feed entering the facility or

equipment. A Main can be unmonitored or monitored by a meter and / or
monitored by a trip unit.
Mbps: Mega Bits Per Second
Modbus: Modbus is a communications protocol published by Modicon in
1979 for use with its programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It has become a
de facto standard communications protocol in industry, and is now the most
commonly available means of connecting industrial electronic devices.
Modbus RTU: Modbus RTU is a compact, binary representation of the data
Modbus TCP/IP: Modbus TCP/IP is very similar to Modbus RTU, but
transmits the protocol packets within TCP/IP data packets.
mV: MilliVolt - 1/1000 of a volt
MVAR: Megavolt Amperes Reactive - One Million Volt Amperes Reactive
MVARh: Megavolt Amperes Reactive Hours - 1 Million Volt Ampere Reactive
Hours
MWh: Megawatt Hours - One million Watt Hours
Netmask: A mask or setting normally obtained from an IT manager that is
used to determine to what subnet an IP address belongs. An IP address has
two components, the network address and the host address. For example,
consider the IP address 150.215.017.009. Assuming this is part of a Class B
network, the first two numbers (150.215) represent the Class B network
address, and the second two numbers (017.009) identify a particular host on
this network.
Network Management System: A Network Management System (NMS) is a
combination of hardware and software used to monitor and administer a
network. Usually it refers to just the software piece that is deigned to
manage network devices that support SNMP. IBM® Director, Sun
NetManager and HP Openview™ are examples of NMSs.
Peak Demand: The greatest of all the demands that have occurred during a
specified period of time; determined by measurement over a prescribed
time interval.
Port: (1) An interface on a computer to which you can connect a device.
Personal computers have various types of ports. Internally, there are several
ports for connecting disk drives, display screens, and keyboards. Externally,
personal computers have ports for connecting modems, printers, mice, and
other peripheral devices. Almost all personal computers come with a serial
RS-232C port or RS-422 port for connecting a modem or mouse and a
parallel port for connecting a printer. (2) In TCP/IP and UDP networks, an
endpoint to a logical connection. The port number identifies what type of
port it is. For example, port 80 is used for HTTP traffic.
Power Xpert Software: Eaton Enterprise software package that provides
monitoring and analysis for Eaton and 3rd party electrical products and
systems.
Power Factor: A ratio of fundamental (50/60Hz) active power to apparent
power (fundamental watts to fundamental volt-amperes).

Power Factor, Apparent: The ratio of the active power of the total RMS, in
watts, to the apparent power of the total RMS, in volt-amperes. This is also
know as True Power Factor.
Power Factor, Displacement: The ratio of the active power of the
fundamental wave, in watts, to the apparent power of the fundamental
wave, in volt-amperes.
Power Quality: The concept of powering and grounding electronic
equipment in a manner that is suitable to the operation of the equipment
and compatible with the premise wiring system and other connected
equipment.
PowerNet: Eaton software that monitors, analyzes and operates facility
electrical systems.
Protocol: An agreed-upon format for transmitting data between two devices.
The protocol determines the following:
• The type of error checking to be used
• Data compression method (if any)
• How the sending device will indicate that it has finished sending a
message
• How the receiving device will indicate that it has received a message
QCPort: Eaton proprietary communication protocol.
Reactive Power: For sinusoidal quantities in a two-wire circuit, reactive
power is the product of the voltage, the current, and the sine of the phase
angle between them. For non-sinusoidal quantities, it is the sum of all
harmonic components, each determined as above. In a polyphase circuit, it
is the sum of the reactive powers of the individual phases.
RJ45 (RJ-45): An eight-pin modular telephone plug. Also called a
programmable connection, an RJ-45 plug is generally used on four-wire
circuits, but can be used on eight-wire circuits such as Ethernet (Ethernet
and Timing).
SMTP Mail Service: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is the de facto
standard for e-mail transmissions across the Internet.
SNMP: Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) forms part of the
internet protocol suite as defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF). SNMP is used by network management systems to monitor network-
attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention. It
consists of a set of standards for network management, including an
application layer protocol, a database schema, and a set of data objects.
SNTP: A Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a less complex form of
NTP that does not require storing information about previous
communications. It is used in some embedded devices and in applications
where high accuracy timing is not required.
STP: Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) is a type of copper telephone wiring in
which each of the two copper wires that are twisted together are coated with
an insulating coating that functions as a ground for the wires. The extra
covering in shielded twisted pair wiring protects the transmission line from
electromagnetic interference leaking into or out of the cable. STP cabling
often is used in Ethernet networks, especially fast data rate Ethernets
(Ethernet and Timing).

TCP: The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of
the Internet protocol suite, often simply referred to as TCP/IP. Using TCP,
applications on networked hosts can create connections to one another, over
which they can exchange streams of data using Stream Sockets. The
protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of data from sender to
receiver. TCP also distinguishes data for multiple connections by concurrent
applications (e.g., Web server and e-mail server) running on the same host.
THD: Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) is the effective value, or the value
associated with joule heating, of a periodic electromagnetic wave. The RMS
value is obtained by taking the square root of the mean of the squared value
of a function.
Timeout: The amount of time allotted before a device stops processing a
command if the device is unable to complete the command.
USB: The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus standard to interface
devices. It was originally designed for personal computers, but it has
become commonplace on handheld devices such as portable memory
devices, video game consoles, PDAs and portable media players.
UTC: UTC, also known as Coordinated Universal Time, is a high-precision
atomic time standard. UTC has uniform seconds defined by the International
Atomic Time (TAI), with leap seconds announced at irregular intervals to
compensate for the earth's slowing rotation and other discrepancies. Leap
seconds allow UTC to closely track Universal Time (UT), a time standard
based not on the uniform passage of seconds, but on Earth's angular
rotation. Time zones around the world are expressed as positive or negative
offsets from UTC. As the zero-point reference, UTC is also referred to as Zulu
time (Z). UTC is often referred to as Greenwich Mean Time when describing
time zones, alth? ugh strictly speaking, it is only an approximation.
VAB, VBC, VCA: Line-to-line voltage between phase a & b, phase b & c,
phase c & a, respectively
Waveform Data: The numeric oscillographic values that may be captured. A
manifestation or representation or visualization of a wave, pulse or
transition (graph, plot, equation(s), table of coordinate or statistical data).
Web Browser: A web browser is a software application that enables a user to
display and interact with text, images and other information typically located
on a web page which is part of a World Wide Web website or a local area
network.
