Environmental control system

The ECS developed for the HP water-cooled POD is a stand-alone control system that requires no external connections with an external site system, BMS, public or private Internet sites, cloud, or wireless system to properly control the POD operation.

The ECS includes Modbus TCP/IP connections through which a variety of data can be retrieved. These capabilities enable you to connect, at your expense, with the stand-alone ECS system to monitor the operating parameters of the POD. It is your responsibility (or your representative's or agent's responsibility) to integrate this communication capability into any existing BMS or monitoring system.

CAUTION: To ensure that alarm conditions can be identified and resolved, HP recommends that you remotely monitor all alarm conditions. Failure to monitor the alarm conditions can cause delays in appropriate action during an alarm condition.

Additional POD connections

The HP POD 40c G2 provides various connection points to your facility. It is your responsibility to facilitate these connections. HP can make these connections when specifically contracted to deliver these services and a Scope of Work has been drafted, reviewed, and signed for delivery services. Available POD connections include the following:

•Life safety systems o EPO

o Fire detection

o Fire suppression

•Site communication o Phone

o Security

•Networking—IT connections

Connection portals

There are networking and connection portals located on the top of the utility-end of the HP POD 40c G2. These portals are provided to allow the customer to make connections to the HP POD 40c G2.

Each HP POD 40c G2 has 10 portals, which are shown in the following figure and described in the following table. The connection portal location and configuration might vary, depending on the HP POD 40c G2 model.
