Telecom cabinet power

One line into the network

A telecom cabinet is already on a network, so the power unit should join it rather than start a second one. The reporting line is 10/100M Ethernet with SNMP and Modbus, plus one RS485 port and an embedded web server. The input takes the same abuse as the site: 180V to 265V wide input with a surge path on the feed.

The mechanism

Polled by the system that already exists

A telecom cabinet is visited on a maintenance round, not watched. The unit answers on the network the site already runs: the current, voltage, active power and accumulated energy for each reporting line go out over 10/100M Ethernet or the RS485 port, in the register layout an SNMP manager or a Modbus master expects. The embedded web server shows the same set in a browser when there is no collector on site, and SMTP sends the alert.

  • Ethernet 10/100M, 1 port
  • Serial RS485, 1 port
  • Protocols SNMP / Modbus
  • Local display industrial OLED
  • OLED shows IP, A, V, W, kWh
  • Alerts SMTP
  • Event log 20,000 entries
  • Log retention RTC, power loss
The OLED carries the address and the live reading on the same screen: IP, current, voltage, power, accumulated energy and the state of the main switch. A maintenance round can confirm the unit is on the right address without a laptop.

Telecom line sheet

Interface and electrical sheet

The first rows are the interface, because that is what a telecom cabinet is integrated on. The electrical rows sit under them, and the changeover row is the one that decides whether the cabinet rides through a failed feed.

  • Ethernet port 10/100M
  • Serial port RS485
  • Site network SNMP / Modbus
  • No collector on site web server

Both ports stay live at the same time. That matters where the cabinet is polled by an operator's SNMP manager and separately by a building controller on Modbus: neither has to be taken offline for the other, and the register set they read is identical.

Where the cabinet sits on two feeds, the changeover option puts an automatic transfer switch in the same envelope, so the meter, the log and the network port stay on one address through a transfer.

Register grid

Registers the network reads

Each cell is one register group on the reporting line, with the resolution it reports at and where it can be seen. The site reads these over SNMP or Modbus; a technician reads them on the OLED.

  • Address and state IP on OLED Address, main switch state and the live reading on one screen, so a round confirms the unit is where the manager expects it.
  • Current per feed 0.1A +/-1% + 1 digit per reporting line. This is the figure a rectifier load is checked against.
  • Voltage 1V 90V ~ 350V meter window, which covers the sag a long cabinet run produces.
  • Energy total 0.1 kWh 1 grade billing register. The smallest step the accumulated total reports.
  • Event log 20,000 Entries with the built-in RTC holding time through power loss, so a supply event survives the transfer that caused it.
  • Alerts SMTP Threshold and state changes leave the unit without a collector on site. Same conditions are readable as registers.
Modbus and SNMP expose the same register set, so a site migrating from a serial controller to a network manager does not have to re-map the points. The RS485 port and the Ethernet port can both stay connected.

Name the port, the feed and the depth

Say which port the site polls, the current per feed, the outlet combination and how deep the metering goes. If the cabinet sits on two feeds, say so as well: the changeover option changes the envelope.
