Basic Configuration

The Power Source Configuration menu and/or System Parameters menu include the following power configuration parameters:

Power Factor: Can be any value from 0.1 to 1.00. (Default = 1.00.)

Power Efficiency: Can be any whole number from 1% to 100%. (Default = 100%.)

Unit to Configure (Local/AUX Unit): This item is used to determine whether power configuration parameters will be applied to your local unit, or to an optional remote unit, connected to one of the local unit's AUX Ports. (Default = Local.)

Line Power Source: This item is used to indicate the power source for each local/ AUX unit. The Power Source can either be external or the power can be supplied by another connected MPC unit. When power is supplied by another, attached MPC unit, proper setting of the "Power Source" parameter prevents the power readings from the MPC unit from being incorrectly doubled when real power is calculated. (Default = External.)

Voltage Setting: This parameter is used to select the voltage setting for any optional BPM Branch Power Managers that may be connected to your local unit's AUX Ports. Note that this parameter will only be shown when an optional BPM Branch Power Manager has been connected to one of the AUX Ports. The Voltage Setting can be defined as MPC, 120, 208 or 240 VAC.

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.
