AN70 UTELOGY integration with NETIO PDU

Tags: 
3rd party HW-SW

The AN70 demonstrates how to control power output(s) on NETIO PDUs from the Utelogy SW solution. By using JSON Aplication programing interface, the NETIO device can export values of electrical quantities into Utelogy cloud service such power, connection, IP Address, Mac Address, serial number, firmware version, power ports, voltage, total energy, frequency etc.

 

Do you have any questions?

 

Additionally, the integration with Utelogy offers code-free scripting tool allowing customers to build scripts to control all the devices within a specific area or a room to do overnight room readiness testing - great use case for sustainability and powering devices off when not in use or during non-business hours.

All types of NETIO power distribution units can be controlled via

  • PowerBOX with wall kind of sockets
  • PowerPDU with IEC C13 computer power sockets,
  • PowerDIN rail version
  • PowerCable 2KZ - FLAT PDUs for installation behind TV.


Every switch can

  • Output On
  • Output Off
  • Toggle Output

UTELOGY / NETIO setup guide

1. Utelogy Customer should have U-Server installed
2. Search for NETIO devices in Utelogy’s GDL (Global Driver Library) and install
3. Configure device on U-Console – add host name or IP Address. Utelogy is using the NETIO HTTP JSON API – download the README for specific instructions and a step-by-step guide

U_Console_setup

 

4. From here you can configure and add individual power ports. Control functionality will now be available within U-Console
    a. one of the most powerful parts is powering on/off the ports
    b. they can have this functionality within U-Console
    c. users have access to a web interface based control (U-Control) which can be available within a touch panel or any HTML5 supported device

 

U_Console_setup_1

 

5. Get metric data and information can be visible at Utelogy cloud management and analytics platform U-Manage (Examples: power, connection, IP Address, Mac Address, serial number, firmware version, power ports, voltage, total energy, frequency etc. )
