Galaxy Pulsar Edge Controller for Compact Power Line.

The Compact Power Line Galaxy Pulsar Edge controller delivers large system intelligence in a small form factor. The Pulsar Edge is a family of controllers that
function as a network interface controller (NIC) and as a full- featured power system controller for the J2007001 family of Compact Power Line (CPL) shelves. Its thin
modular plug-in form factor minimizes shelf space consumption allowing maximum power module and distribution capabilities providing a feature set found in controllers used in larger power systems ranging up to 20k amps. The CP841A controller is specific member of the Galaxy Pulsar Edge family.

The Pulsar Edge CP841A controller is utilized in bulk power applications in data centers and enterprise applications. Ethernet connectivity with SNMP facilitates remote network management access through its front- accessible RS232 and is aided by the EasyView2 graphical user interface as well as a web interface.
As a battery plant controller, it provides a complete set of features over a half-duplex RS485 bus to monitor and control rectifiers, batteries, and distribution. A flexible set of configurable inputs allow the CP841A to monitor a wide variety of system equipment and incorporate appropriate state information enabling a centralized point of management.

The controller utilizes standard network management protocols allowing for advanced network supervision from standard. ABB Critical Power Galaxy Manager™ software is the centralized visibility and control component of a comprehensive power management system designed to meet engineering, operations, and maintenance needs. The Galaxy Manager client-server architecture enables remote access to system controllers across the power network.
