Power Xpert® Software
General Description
Power Xpert Software aggregates the
information arriving from different
types of device families via various
communication methods. Its unique
Web-based design, alarm bubble-up,
and advanced trend and waveform
analysis tools help you to quickly turn
your attention to the most important
events and to identify reliability issues
and cost-saving opportunities. The
standard custom graphic package, the
Layout Manager, with an icon library
and standard vertical templates,
allows you to import and mimic your
physical environment and gauges.
Open protocol support makes Power
Xpert Software compatible with most
newer generation third-party equip-
ment. Older legacy, proprietary
protocols are supported by Power
Xpert Gateways, and custom software
drop-in drivers made available by
Eaton. Power Xpert Software is the
first power system software of this
caliber to put all of these powerful
features at your fingertips.
Power Xpert Software provides an
easy upgrade path to allow existing
PowerNet users to enjoy the benefits
of power monitoring through a simple
Web browser interface.
Power Xpert is a complete software
solution to manage your power
system. Critical components such as
metering devices, protective relays,
circuit breaker trip units, motor
starters and uninterruptible power
supplies communicate vital informa-
tion about the health and status of
critical infrastructure devices.
