Intelligent Power Distribution Unit

Newsunn intelligent power distribution unit (iPDU) is designed primarily to remotely monitor and manage power in data centers, server rooms, and other mission-critical facilities, allowing data center administrators to monitor power usage, track environmental conditions, and receive alerts in the event of power outages or other issues. It is a critical component of modern data center infrastructure, providing advanced power management and monitoring capabilities that help ensure reliable and efficient data center operation.

Intelligent PDUs，also called smart PDUs are advanced power distribution units that offer a range of benefits for data center optimization and energy efficiency. With outlet-level metering, remote power monitoring, and other advanced features, intelligent PDUs enable accurate and real-time monitoring of power consumption, allowing data center operators to manage power distribution more efficiently and effectively. This level of PDU monitoring and management is crucial for ensuring optimal performance and reliability in data centers, as it enables operators to identify and resolve power consumption issues quickly and easily.

By providing real-time data on power usage, intelligent PDUs also help to improve energy efficiency in data centers. This is achieved by enabling operators to identify areas where power usage can be reduced, such as by consolidating workloads or shutting down unused equipment. This data also enables operators to track power consumption trends over time, which can inform decisions about future capacity planning and energy optimization.

In addition to PDU monitoring and management, intelligent PDUs can be integrated with other data center management systems, enabling comprehensive data center infrastructure management. This integration allows for centralized monitoring and control of power distribution and consumption, reducing the risk of downtime and improving overall facility management.

Overall, it is a trend to install the intelligent PDU in data centers.

Key Features

· Web-Based Management

A full-featured web-based GUI provides an intuitive and accessible way to manage their Intelligent PDUs, monitor power usage, and optimize energy efficiency in their data centers or server rooms from any locally connected PC.

· Configurable Alerts

Audible and E-Mail，SMS alerts can be configured to alert users to impending power overloads or temperature problems (with optional temperature and humidity sensor)- helping users to protect their A/V equipment against failure.

· Temperature and Humididty Monitoring

The Temperature and Humidity Sensor (Sold separately) allows automated alerts or power-off of equipment if ambient temperatures or humidity rise above a user-defined threshold - protecting users’ equipment from failure.

In addition, there are door sensor, smog sensor and water logging sensor for option.

Controlling module

Newsunn designs a user-friendly, intuitive, and accessible interface of the controlling module including:

LCD Display: provides real-time information on the status of the PDU and its connected devices, showing power usage, outlet status, environmental conditions, and other relevant information.

Buttons: UP and DOWN buttons allow page up and down to view each loop current, IP address, baud rate, device ID, etc. MENU button is for parameter setting.

Network Connectivity: Ethernet ports, that allows administrators to remotely monitor and manage the PDU using a web-based management interface or command-line interface.

Communication interfaces: I/O port (Digital value input/output), RS485 port (Modbus protocol); USB port for console access; Temp/Humidity port; Senor Port (for smoke and water).
