PowerPlex II Automation Transducer
SCADA and Synchronization Simplified
The PowerPlex II (PPX II) is a new Automation Transducer built in the same package as the original PowerPlex, or with digital I/O added, in the M571 case. It is an Ethernet transducer with fast, 1-cycle updates that can be used in SCADA automation schemes and in synchronizing applications in conjunction with PLCs. It is an excellent choice as a replacement for the Bitronics M571 in non-recording applications. Two sets of three-phase voltages that allow direct connect for 600V ac systems are provided.
The PowerPlex II transducers are simple to set up and use, and provide the following features:
Communications
- No need for PC software – Ethernet service port provides
access to web server in the instrument so meters can
be interfaced with just a web browser for viewing and
configuration - Ethernet protocol support for DNP3, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP
or IEC 6185 - Built-in Ethernet switch allows pass-through from one device
to another - An option for both standard secondary “optimal resolution”
or primary units makes communications with SCADA/RTU
more flexible - Optional display port and IRIG-B port
- Optional configurable RS-232/RS-485 serial port supports
Modbus or DNP3 serial protocols
Measurements
- Full basic measurement & recording set with demand and harmonic values plus phase angle, voltage differential and slip frequency used in synchronizing applications
- 0.2% revenue accuracy
- Updates every 1 cycle
- Optional trend recording
Built for the Substation
- Wide-range universal power supply
- Rugged aluminum case
- Reduce inventory cost as one model covers all wiring options
- Easy to mount with compact transducer footprint
Applications
- Synchronizing, voltage control, power factor control, and load
load shedding - Digital front-end to SCADA systems
- Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) interfacing to RTUs and PLCs
- Plant equipment, line, power & energy monitoring
- Breaker status, rack-in, rack-out in switchgear
- Trend: transformer loads and voltages in E/M relay substations,
battery voltage, Total Harmonic Distortion
Environmental
- Operating temperature range -40° to 70°C, storage
temperature -40° to 85°C - Humidity 0-95% non-condensing
- Surge withstand to ANSI/IEEE C37.90.1: 2002
- UL/CSA Recognized, File Number E164178, CE Marked

IP Address Identity Tool
The PPX II supports the Inverse Address Recognition Protocol (InARP), a software utility program that requests the IP address for a specific MAC address on an Ethernet network and can also scan for a range of MAC addresses and print the IP address for any devices which respond.
