NETIO PowerPDU FK6

The NETIO PowerPDU FK6 is a smart three-phase power distribution unit designed for robust installation requiring high power control in AV (as LED WALLs power control), IT, and industrial automation environments.

The PowerPDU FK6 is power supply by 3x16A 400V (CEE 5-pole connector/ IEC 60309 RED 400V (3P+N+E 6h)).

Device provides six independent, metered, and switchable power outputs (6 × 230 V- Type F-Schuko) divided into pairs between 3 phases, each pair rated for 16 A.

The device is also equipped with two Digital Inputs (DI), those can be used for direct connection to a NETIO sensors, NETIO nBus (device daisy-chaining feature), or an S0 counter. Additionally, the PowerPDU VK6 supports both LAN connectivity and integrates all the benefits of the NETIO Toolbox.

Thanks to the Open API, integration with third-party systems using various protocols (JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT-flex, Telnet, ...) is easy.

With the NETIO Cloud service, the outputs can be controlled from anywhere. The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL security and servers in Europe.

Remote restarting

Switch On / Off or Restart (short Off) each output using these methods:

• From the device website
• From the NETIO Cloud (web service).
• From NETIO Mobile 2 (Mobile App) over LAN or NETIO Cloud (web service)


• By external mechanical switch (dry contact) connected to DI input.


• Using build in Week-Scheduler function you can define several On/Off intervals per each output.
• With build in PING WatchDog function, you can restart any LAN device when not responding to PINGs from NETIO PDU (Device frozen)
• With build in Power consumption WatchDog function, you can restart any device powered from metered NETIO PDU output. Device frozen / sleeping / IDLE mode is detected by power consumption drop for several time.


• Using AV drivers you can control Outputs from many Audio Video SW (Q-SYS, Crestron, Control4, Kramer, BrightSign,...)


• There are plenty Open APIs (protocols) to control outputs / meter power consumption.
• For example: JSON or XML over HTTP, SNMP v1 or v3, Modbus/TCP, MQTT, URL-API and others.


• Using Windows executable PyNetio swtich / Toggle any NETIO output(s) from the Windows Desktop.
• More: AN37 Outputs sequence started by Windows desktop icon (.bat file)

NETIO TOOLBOX

NETIO Toolbox is set of power management industrial features integrated into all NETIO devices, design for AV integrators, IT admins, System Architects and industrial users. NETIO Toolbox trasform electrical power from a passive resources into activelly management system. It consist of core features as:

• Manuel/ Remote/ Autonomous Restarting
• PowerUp Sequence
• Industrial feature as ZCS (Zero Currents Switching)
• Time Based Power Switching (Scheduler)
• Grouping of Device & Outputs
• Daisy Chaining of Multiple PDUs (nBUS)
• Thermostat Feature - Temperature Based Switching
• Connection Error Alert
