Product Description
Fulfilling Your Power Requirements with IP-enabled Power Outlets Embracing ESG Principles
PLANET IPM-16230 Vertical IP-based 16-port Switched Power Management (IPM) device is designed to efficiently handle power distribution for a versatile array of connected devices which meet the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
Leveraging cutting-edge IP-based technology, PLANET has transformed conventional power management equipment into genuine networking devices that align with sustainable and responsible business practices.
PLANET IPM-16230 can be monitored by PLANET's Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and smart discovery utility to support IT staff by remotely monitoring all network devices and powered devices (PDs) while incorporating ESG policy into the operational status assessment. This integration ensures that the device not only meets the technological needs of modern networks but also contributes to environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and robust governance in the realm of power management.
Intelligent Power Management
The IPM-16230 boasts 16 customizable power outlets that can be operated independently. It can monitor power usage via the SNMP, web interfaces, or the optional button to select the LCD panel display. This flexibility enables users to efficiently access, configure, and manage multiple networking devices remotely, saving valuable time and resources.
Real-time Current Monitoring
The LCD panel on the unit shows the aggregate current drawn from a power outlet. This feature aids installers in preventing overloaded circuits by issuing a visible warning when the current draw approaches the strip's maximum amperage.
Scheduled Power On/Off
The IP-based Switched Power Manager empowers users to pre-define power schedules for IT equipment. It provides advance notice of an impending shutdown, allowing users a designated timeframe to complete tasks before the power-off sequence begins.
Enhanced Overload Protection
Unlike conventional Power Distribution Units (PDUs) that risk cutting off the entire circuit during power overload, PLANET PDU takes a proactive approach. Equipped with a built-in circuit breaker and reset switch, it ensures stable power distribution among connected equipment. The 32-amp circuit breaker acts as a safeguard against dangerous overloads, preventing potential damage to valuable equipment.
Enabling Environmental Monitoring with Precision
The IPM-16230 goes beyond power management by offering dedicated port for ambient Temperature and Humidity (T/H) sensor (sensor provided with product). This thoughtful addition allows you to seamlessly integrate environmental monitoring into your infrastructure. By connecting compatible sensor to the provided ports, you gain valuable insights into the conditions of your surroundings, ensuring optimal performance and safeguarding your equipment. Additionally, the IPM-16230 features traditional 3 DI and 2 DO ports for network cabinet access control, water intrusion detection, smoke alarm monitoring, and flash/sound siren activation. It reserves 1 I/O port and 1 USB port for potential future expansions, ensuring versatility and adaptability of the product.
Streamlined Connectivity with Cascade Ports
Elevate your networking experience with the IPM-16230's Cascade Input/Output Port, ideal for seamlessly linking RJ45 inputs to the other one. This enables smooth integration of multiple PDUs, optimizing your network infrastructure.
Efficient Energy Management for Cost Savings
Within the configuration interface of the IPM-16230, you have the ability to monitor the current energy consumption in your office. This feature empowers you to make informed decisions to reduce energy usage, ultimately leading to significant savings on utility expenses.
Remote Management via Network
PLANET Switched IPM consolidates power control, current monitoring, temperature and humidity monitoring with environmental sensor, web page management, e-mail, and SNMP functions together to enable technical staff to be informed and thereby to remotely deal with the relevant problems through Internet.
Environmental Sensor
The IPM-16230 is equipped with an RJ11 port for connecting an environmental sensor (provided with the product). Through a temperature and humidity sensor, it enables monitoring of nearby temperature changes for the proper functioning of the power switch. In the event of excessively high or low temperatures, the system will issue an alert and notify the user via email.
Digital Input and Digital Output for External Alarm
The IPM-16230 features RJ11 to provide more types of environment detection applications for connectivity. For example, the Digital Input (DI) can be connected to a smoke detector or water level detector, while the Digital Output (DO) can be connected to an alarm. When smoke or high water level is detected, the alarm will sound. The IPM-16230 can provide better protection in terms of network cabinet security application factors.
