Eaton's Power Xpert Software version 2.0 simplifies power system management

Eaton Corporation has announced the availability of Eaton Power Xpert Software version 2.0, a power system solution that simplifies energy monitoring for information technology (IT), facility and energy managers. Power Xpert Software offers a clear picture of energy usage across the enterprise, along with the tools to take control of the complete power system.

In most organizations, power distribution systems consist of diverse equipment, software and management processes acquired over many years. As part of Eaton’s Power XpertArchitecture, a Web-based solution for measuring, monitoring, connecting and managing power systems, Power Xpert Software gathers, presents and analyzes system-wide data from mission-critical infrastructure. The latest version also incorporates Eaton’s Foreseer technology that helps mitigate power quality problems and increase overall power system reliability by turning data into knowledge that expedites decision making.

Power Xpert Software is available in two editions. The Professional Edition is for end users with built-in support for Eaton power distribution products such as switchgear, uninterruptible power systems (UPSs) and power distribution units (PDUs). The Enterprise Edition was developed for advanced power users, system integrators and enterprises with varied devices and system developers that can take advantage of the included SNMP and Modbus TCP integration development utilities to reach beyond Eaton equipment to third-party devices.

Additional benefits of Power Xpert Software version 2.0 include:

• Simplified installation with a deployment validation utility that launches to automatically configure Power Xpert Software and operating system settings
• An optional Power Xpert Reporting module that aggregates energy and power quality data into a standard set of reports, which includes energy cost allocation
• Included HMI design tool set lowers the cost and time to deploy the system with custom graphics
• Alarm and event notifications on a Web page header display and alarm bubble up through Web pages to keep users informed at all times
