Power Management
Also known as: Power Distribution Unit, remote controlled power socket over IP, serial controlled socket strip, network controllable power management system, serial switchable power socket outlets
Remote control power socket outlets via serial interface or over IP network. If a server does not respond it can be switched off and started again from anywhere in the world.
PM 211-MIP
Master/Slave Power Socket with Web Interface
The PM 211-MIP has an Ethernet interface and can thus be connected to any normal switch or DSL router and can consequently be operated via the network, DSL or ISDN or by means of mobile operation. It is controlled via an integrated web server that enables the intuitive configuration of all switching functions, as well as the administration of several users with different access rights.
The IP address for the socket strip can have a fixed configuration or it can be issued dynamically via a DHCP server.
In addition to a master output, the PM 211-MIP also has two slave connections, each with two sockets. Thanks to this configuration, via the slave connections, it is possible to switch up to four devices on and off individually via the Internet using a notebook, pocket PC or mobile phone.
The socket strip also facilitates switching when actually in the office: if, for example, the monitor connected to the master socket is switched on, the socket strip also automatically supplies all devices connected to the slave connections with power. In this way, it is possible to switch up to five different devices on/off simultaneously with the flick of a single switch; this is convenient and means there is no longer any need to hunt for switches under the desk.
In the event of a power failure, the PM 211-MIP notes the last switching status of the connections and switches the consumers on accordingly as soon as the power supply is up and running again.
For each slave, it is possible to connect consumers with a power consumption of up to 1100 VA. The socket strip itself consumes less than 1.5 Watts.

PRS PM4/PM8
Power Management over Serial connection
The switchable Power Module units PM4 and PM8 remotely allow on and off switching of equipment and are available in 4 or 8 power socket outlet versions.
The administration of the power outlets can be done over a serial port. The Power Module consists of switchable IEC power sockets which are capable of individually keeping the power status even during and after a power cut.
The 8 port version is supplied through two different mains inputs. This feature makes it possible to use equipment with dual mains inputs without losing redundancy.
An integrated bus-system enables the cascading of up to 32 Power Module units. The cascading can be made with a standard RJ45 patch cable over a RS-485 bus.
Administration via terminal server or modem connection is also possible through the serial port of the Power Module.
Technical data:
- 1 x Com: Serial port for control (RS232)
- 2 x Bus: For extension over RS485 bus (max. 32 power sockets) with RJ45 cable (max. 100 m)
- Interface: LED's for power supply, 4/8 power socket outlets
- Mains adapter: 230V IEC320
- Max. capacity: PM4: 3500 VA (16A for 230V), PM8: 2 x 3500 VA (16A for 230V), Max. 8A per outlet
- Operating temperature: +5 - 40ºC
- Humidity: 5 - 85% rel.H. not condensing
- Size (WxHxD): PM4: 441 x 44.5 x 63 mm (1RU), PM8: 788 x 44.5 x 63 mm
- Weight: PM4: 1.4 kg, PM8: 2.3 kg
- Delivery includes: Power Module incl. 4/8 IEC computer adapter cables, 1/2 power supply adapter cables, serial adapter cable

PRS PM4-IP/PM8-IP
Power Management over TCP/IP
The switchable Power Module units PM4-IP and PM8-IP enable remote on and off switching of equipment and are available in 4 or 8 power socket outlet versions.
The Power Modules can be remotely administrated through network. Both models have direct network access. These can be fully integrated in a network environment and accessed via telnet, web browser and SNMP. The IP number can be fixed or obtained through DHCP.
The Power Module units consist of switchable IEC power sockets which are capable of individually keeping the power status of each outlet also during and after a power cut.
The 8 port version is supplied through two different mains inputs. This feature makes it possible to use equipment with dual mains inputs without losing redundancy.
Through the serial port a fix IP address can be programmed.
Technical data:
- 1 x 10 BaseT: RJ45, Ethernet 10 Mbit/s
- 1 x Com: Serial port for administration
- Protocols: Telnet, HTTP, (SNMP)
- Interface: LED's for power supply, network link/activity, 4/8 power socket outlets
- Mains adapter: 230V IEC320
- Max. capacity: PM4: 3500 VA (16A for 230V), PM8: 2 x 3500 VA (16A for 230V), Max. 8A per outlet
- Operating temperature: +5 - 40ºC
- Humidity: 5 - 85% rel.H. not condensing
- Size (WxHxD): PM4: 441 x 44.5 x 63 mm (1RU), PM8: 788 x 44.5 x 63 mm
