PowerPDU 8QS

NETIO PowerPDU 8QS is a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) with eight power outputs (8x IEC-320 C13) controlled and metered over a LAN. It fits into a 19” cabinet (1U). Each output can be switched on/off individually. PowerPDU 8QS supports two channels for electrical measurements: the PDU as a whole (all outputs combined), and the first output separately (All Outputs + 1). A digital input (DI) can be used to control the outputs or count S0 pulses (electricity meter output).

NETIO PowerPDU 8QS can be configured with a web browser (allows output control, connection to NETIO Cloud, Open API communication settings, etc.).

Thanks to the Open API, integration with third-party systems using various protocols (JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT-flex, Telnet, ...) is easy. Ready-made AV drivers make it simple to connect the NETIO PDU to professional Audio/Video systems such as Neets, Crestron, Control4, RTI, Savant and more.

With the NETIO Cloud service, the outputs can be controlled from anywhere. The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL security and servers in Europe.

The NETIO Mobile2 app controls each output individually over LAN (local network).

To switch the outputs on in a sequence, a power-up delay can be configured for each output.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  1. In IT, the smart PowerPDU 8QS is typically used to distribute electricity in a 19" rack (cabinet) in a data center.
  2. Saving energy in meeting rooms (Scheduler switches equipment on/off at predefined time).
  3. Controlling the power (to TV sets, audio systems, lighting) from various AV systems in stores, smart homes, museums, digital signage applications.
  4. The outputs of several NETIO products can be controlled using the NETIO Mobile 2 app, as long as the app is connected to the same network.
  5. The outputs of multiple devices can be controlled centrally using the NETIO Cloud service (for a fee).

DI (DIGITAL INPUT)

DI (DIGITAL INPUT)

A digital input (DI) can be used to control the outputs or count S0 pulses.The DI can be connected to a button (dry contact) or used as a S0 pulse counter for reading energy consumption from an external electricity meter.

The DI state and the S0 counter value are shown in the web interface and accessible over Open API.

  • Digital input (DI): 1x input (contact) + S0 counter (4 bytes)
  • Power for DI: 12V power (max 50mA)

ZVS (ZERO VOLTAGE SWITCHING)

ZVS (ZERO VOLTAGE SWITCHING)

 An important feature of the NETIO PowerPDU 8QS is ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching). ZVS controls the exact time when the mechanical relay contacts close and open. The relay contacts switch the output on or off when the voltage crosses the zero level. 

  • In the long term, ZVS support reduces the product failure rate due to internal relay damage.
  • Since the relay switches when the sinusoidal voltage waveform crosses the zero level, negative effects of inrush current are significantly reduced.
  • The ZVS and PowerUp delay functions reduce the chance of circuit breakers tripping when power is restored after an outage.
  • ZVS extends the lifetime of connected equipment, especially in case of frequent on/off switching of devices that are not designed for that (such as switching power supplies).

SCHEDULER (TIMED SWITCHING OF INDIVIDUAL OUTLETS)

SCHEDULER (TIMED SWITCHING OF INDIVIDUAL OUTLETS)

With the Scheduler (timer) function, each output can be individually switched on or off at specified times and days of week. The switching times are easily configured in a graphical interface.

  • Each output can have its own schedule
  • When a schedule is active, outputs can still be controlled with NETIO Cloud, the web interface and Open API
  • Scheduler does not need an internet connection.
    However, a time source is needed – provided over the internet or, for example, by a local ADSL / WiFi router.
More information about the Scheduler
POWER-UP STATE

POWER-UP STATE

For some applications, it is important to set the power output state immediately after the device is powered on (or the power is restored after a failure). With some machines it is important to avoid momentary switch-on or switch-off. This parameter therefore defines the behavior of the power output before the standard communication with a master system starts to work.

  • On
  • Off
  • LAST state restores the last state before the power was disconnected

Delay sequence when switching outputs on (PowerUp delay)

After a power outage, some electrical equipment can be switched on with a delay to avoid overloading and tripping circuit breakers. With the PowerPDU 8QS, use these parameters: “Power-Up state” = ON / LAST, and “Output PowerUp interval” = power-up delay before switching that particular output on.

FAQ

To reset the product to factory defaults, use the “RESET” button. When plugging in the device, hold the “RESET” button for about 10 seconds, until the yellow LED on the RJ45 jack flashes 3 times. Factory settings will be restored (Load do defaults).
For the current procedure, see the supplied QIG (Quick Installation Guide) for the product. It is available for download at this page as well as included in the product package.

Yes. When the PowerPDU is powered up, all outputs are set according to the configured PowerUp state (On / Off / LAST value). The parameter can be set in the web interface in the detailed configuration for each output.

For Android mobile devices, please upgrade to NETIO Mobile 2. We are working on a mobile app for iOS devices.

Remote restart is useful e.g. to control the power to a router, where a simple “power off” action would make it impossible to send the subsequent “power on” action. With the Restart – “Short OFF” action (can be invoked from the web interface), it is possible to switch off the power e.g. for 5 seconds, and then the PowerPDU switches it back on automatically, without further user intervention.

Yes, NETIO PowerPDU 8QS supports the Scheduler function.

Yes. All NETIO products support the Open API. We are continuously publishing ANxx (Application Notes) that describe how to connect the product to various third-party systems. NETIO PowerPDU 8QS can also be controlled using NETIO Cloud.

Yes, level 3 protection is included.

Yes. However, there is one button that controls all outputs. Press the “TGL” button 3x rapidly:
- If any outputs are On (1), they are switched Off (0)
- If all outputs are Off (0), all outputs are switched On (1)
