New Intelligent Mains Distribution Unit In The Spotlight

"Our intelligent MDU gained plenty of interest at IBC this year," comments Darren Fuller, Director of Sales at BES. "We could see that one theme of the show was future technology that will support the need for flexibility and increased productivity alongside new trends, and our intelligent unit meets that requirement.

"Flexibility and power management of infrastructure from a central source is essential in our fast paced industry. With installations across multiple locations, being able to monitor output performance and control power from your fingertips makes management simpler and efficient."

The product has been developed for remote monitoring and control of up to 32 units from one network address. It is the first intelligent mains distribution unit on the market that incorporates a hot swappable control board to allow for on-site hardware upgrades without disruption. Other features include power on sequence to permit a timed start between channels, on board metering and climatic monitoring with alerts, all managed via the webpage interface, Telnet or SNMP V2/3.

Intelligent Mains Distribution Unit Features:

• Hot Swappable Control Board to allow for on-site hardware upgrades.

• Power On Sequence to allow a timed start between channels and other units or turn on simultaneously.

• On Board Metering monitors the mains input to ensure continuous supply.

• Climatic Monitoring includes 8x temperature + humidity sensor port.

• GPIO port includes 8x volt free inputs, 2x analogue inputs, 1x volt free (SSR) output and 1x volt free relay (SPDT) output.
