Product Description
NETIO PowerPDU 4KS is a smart PDU (Power Distribution Unit) with 4 metered & switched power outputs (4x IEC-320 C13 or 4x NEMA 5-15R) and 1x DI (Digital Input). PDU measures power consumption (A, kWh, TPF, W, V, Hz) and switching On/Off each power output individually. Device supports local Ping & Power WatchDog and Scheduler functions.
PowerPDU 4KS can be mounted in rack cabinets – horizontally, vertically, or as a 1U device. Each output can user switch manually over the web, the NETIO cloud service, or with a Mobile App (Locally or via NETIO Cloud). The DI (Digital Input) can control the outputs or count S0 pulses (ext. power metering).PDU supports Open API for 3rd party integration (http JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT-flex, Telnet, ...).
Typical Applications
- Remote restart (over the Web)
- Energy savings
- Switching power outputs on and off with a mobile app
- Switching sockets on and off using the NETIO Cloud service
- Controlling electrical sockets with a driver from multimedia applications (Crestron, Control4, RTI, BrightSign, …)
- Open API MQTT cloud connection to portal applications (AWS, IBM Bluemix, MS Azure)
Open API (protocols) (M2M)
- For Open API communication, one M2M protocol can be chosen from among the following:
- The SNMP protocol can be always used in parallel to other APIs.
- Documentation for the protocols is available on the manufacturer’s website. The ANxx Application Notes provide useful deployment guidance.
- Regardless of the one Open API protocol used, the PowerPDU 4KSx can be always controlled from its web interface and from the NETIO Cloud service at the same time.

Zero Current Switching
ZCS (Zero Current Switching) support is important for switching devices more than several times a day. ZCS ensures switching on and off of the switching relay when the current passes through zero.
ZCS reduces the stress on the connected electrical appliances, increasing the lifetime in case of frequent switching of appliances with a high inrush current. High inrush current is typical for switching supplies common in IT equipment.
