Alarm Configuration

7.1.1.2. Load Shedding & Auto Recovery Configuration - Web Browser Interface

In the Web Browser Interface, Load Shedding and Auto Recovery parameters are defined as follows:

1.Access the Over Current Alarm Configuration Menu as described in Section 7.1.

2.At the Over Current Alarm Configuration Menu, use the two drop down menus next to the Load Shedding button to determine the Local/AUX MPC unit and the desired Branch or Line.

a)Local/AUX: ("Unit to Configure") When optional, remote MPC or BPM units have been connected to your local MPC's AUX ports, this parameter is used to select the Local or AUX unit that you wish to define Load Shedding parameters for. (Default = Local.)

b)Branch/Line: Selects the configuration menu for the Branch A, Branch B or Line Load Shedding actions. This allows you to define one set of actions that will be performed when an alarm is triggered at Branch A, a different set of actions that will be performed when an alarm is triggered at Branch B, and yet another set of actions that will be performed when an alarm is triggered by the Over Current Line Alarm.

Notes:

The Over Current Line Alarm is only available in units that feature two or more branches per input line.

When an Over Current Alarm is triggered, the MPC will automatically perform the set of actions that have been defined for the corresponding branch or line.

3.After selecting the Local/AUX unit and power branch or line, click on the Load Shedding button to select parameters for the selected unit/branch/line. The resulting submenu will offer the following options:

Enable: Enables/Disables Load Shedding for the selected unit and branch or line. When enabled, the MPC will switch the user specified Plugs or Plug Groups whenever the current load exceeds the user-defined Alarm Set Threshold value. (Default = Disable.)

Plug State: Determines whether the selected plugs/plug groups will be switched On or Off when Load Shedding is enabled and current load exceeds the user- defined Alarm Set Threshold. For example, if the Plug State is set to "Off",

then the selected plugs/plug groups will be switched Off when the Alarm Set Threshold is exceeded at the selected unit/branch/line. (Default = Off.)

Auto Recovery: Determines whether the selected plugs/plug groups will be switched On or Off when Load Shedding is enabled and current load exceeds the user-defined Alarm Set Threshold at the selected unit/branch/line. For example, if the Plug State is set to "Off", then the selected plugs/plug groups will be switched Off when the Alarm Set Threshold is exceeded. (Default = Off.)

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
