Overview<\/h2>\n\n
The Kentix PowerManager is the management unit for Kentix SmartPDU components and energy consumption meters with an RS-485 interface. The PowerManager is network-compatible and is supplied with voltage via Power over Ethernet (PoE).<\/p>\n\n
The PowerManager can be operated as the main device (operating mode: Main Device) or in a network (operating mode: Satellite Device) with other PowerManagers. The KentixONE software is already integrated via the integrated web server (HTTPS). The configuration is done via web browser and depending on the operating mode (operating mode: Main Device) locally on the PowerManager itself or on a central instance like the SiteManager or AlarmManager (operating mode: Satellite Device).<\/p>\n\n
The PowerManager can be mounted on a standard DIN rail or alternatively in a 60mm switch box.<\/p>\n\n
The PowerManager is the central component of the solution. Here the SmartMeter or ModBus meters are connected via RS485 or LAN. The PowerManager is connected to the network via a PoE-capable switch.<\/p>\n\n
