== WXT520 configuration ==
 
−
The WXT520 must be configured to automatically send all relevant measured data to the serial port using its proprietary ASCII protocol.
 
−
 
 
−
Select the ASCII protocol and uncheck the "Polling only" option, so that automatic transmission is enabled. If the "Response with CRC" option is enabled, the WXT520 driver will check the CRC in received messages and discard messages with CRC errors.
 
−
 
 
−
The composite message transmission interval should be set to no more than 30 seconds, otherwise the driver could be occasionally restarted due to the intervention of the keep-alive watch-dog.

The APC by Schneider Electric Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) may be used as a stand-alone, network- manageable power distribution device or up to four devices can be connected together using one network connection. The Rack PDU provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads.

The HSYCO RACKPDU driver supports the AP88XX and AP78XXB Metered models.

IO Server RACKPDU.jpg

PDU Configuration

In order to be able to control the device with HSYCO SERVER, remote access to the command line interface via SSH must be enabled.

HSYCO Configuration

Add a RACKPDU I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters:

Communication

  • IP Address: the IP address of the device
  • IP Port: TCP/IP port to use (defaults to 22)
  • User: the SSH user (defaults to "apc")
  • Password: the SSH password (defaults to "apc").


High Availability

  • Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.

Options

ID Default Values Description
startupevents false true generate IO events also during the driver’s start-up phase
false start generating events only after HSYCO is aligned with the current status of the system

Datapoints

All measured values returned as datapoints use the units as set in the PDU. The unit is not returned in the datapoint value.
