With plug-and-play sensor capabilities, the PDU supports up to 32 sensors per unit, enabling extensive environmental monitoring and management. The dual 1 Gbps network connectivity (Ethernet port & USB Port), Dual Databus, and Dual USB on the Gateway and Controller modules ensure reliable, high-speed connections within your network.

Gateway Module Designed for advanced energy management alongside the EnerTree Platform with web GUI, this module centralises data from PDUs, improving efficiency and lowering costs by requiring less hardware within the PDU.

The intelligence of the PDU resides within the EnerTree Platform for high-compute power monitoring, optimising physical storage for historical PDU data, assisting with risk analysis, and system management.

The Gateway module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).

Controller Module The embedded EnerTree Lite software with an internal web GUI for conventional management. For data centres that prefer a traditional, standalone approach, the Controller Module provides an embedded EnerTree Lite solution with PDU intelligence and web interface within the module.

This module is fully compatible with other PDU monitoring and management software, delivering essential functionality via “EnerTree Lite,” a simplified version of the complete EnerTree platform.

The Controller module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).

Daisy Chain Module A secure data communication module without an Ethernet port, collecting and transmitting data from PDU to the Gateway or Controller. The Daisy Chain Module acts as a Data Relay Module, facilitating PDU network expansion by creating a ring topology.

This reduces the need for additional Ethernet ports and enhances security by minimising the risk of external access. In this ring configuration, a single Gateway or Controller module suffices to communicate with the EnerTree platform or other PDU monitoring systems, supporting up to 100 PDUs on one IP address.

This setup enables ultra-fast, real-time data transmission, improving scalability and operational efficiency. The module is equipped with 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators and 2 USB-A ports. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
