CHAPTER 5 - PXG600E THEORY OF OPERATION15EATON PXG600E User Manual • IM02603003E Rev 5, 11-May-2012 • Firmware Version 5.03:3835Supported Downstream DevicesThe PXG600E has been pre-configured to connect to many “downstream”devices available from Eaton and other manufacturers. Each supporteddevice is described using a pre-loaded Electronic Data Sheet (EDS) file. Asnew EDS files are released by Eaton, they can be downloaded to yourPXG600E. Refer to the supported device list available online atwww.eaton.com/pxg.The EDS identifies important data from each device. This enables thePXG600E to automatically access device data and present it to “upstream”clients on the LAN such as web browsers. Device data maps that describethe type of data available from each supported device have been included inthe PXG600E CD-ROM and are also available online atwww.eaton.com/pxg.Accessing Device Data from the Ethernet LANThe PXG600E 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 InternetDetails on operation with these clients can be found in PXG600E SystemIntegration on page 169.The PXG600E can support multiple types of clients accessing the data at thesame time such as looking at the data via a web browser while exchangingdata with the Power Xpert Software. The PXG600E can also support multipleinstances of a type of client, such as accessing data via two web browsers atthe same time. Performance may be compromised if multiple clients accessthe PXG600E simultaneously.NOTICE: The recommendation is that you not exceed anycombination of three supported connections at a time.
