PowerCable 2PZ is flat PDU (Power Distribution Unit) with dual power output. It's LAN or WiFi connected PDU for remote power control (remote restarting) of TV, screens, multimedia players or other AV or IT devices. There are 2 power outputs (110/230V max 16A) available on terminal blocks. 

NETIO PowerCable 2PZ is flat PDU (Power Distribution Unit) with LAN connectivity using a RJ45 (Ethernet) or WiFi. Both power outputs can be individually switched On/Off (restarted) on the device website, from Mobile App or NETIO Cloud (web service).

PowerCable 2PZ we call “flat PDU” because can be installed behind TV, under double ceiling or to similar limited space. PowerCable 2PZ is delivered without power cables, user have to install power input and 1 or 2 power output cables to the terminal block inside plastic housing with using screw driver.

PowerCable 2PZ PDU supports Ping WatchDog and week-based Scheduler feature.

Open API enables integration into third-party systems using a wide range of protocols (JSON, Modbus/TCP, XML, SNMP, MQTT, Telnet, ..).

With the NETIO Cloud service, the output(s) can be switched On/Off from anywhere. The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL/TLS security and servers in Europe.
Mobile App "NETIO Mobile 2" can be used for remote contol on the same LAN or via NETIO Cloud.

AV drivers make it easy to connect NETIO sockets to professional Audio/Video control systems such as RTI, ELAN, SAVANT, BrightSign, Crestron, Control4 etc.

Typical applications

  • The PowerCable 2PZ LAN/WiFi PDU is typically used for remote restarting.
  • Each output can be switched on/off or power-cycled (short-off) from the device web interface or the NETIO Cloud service.
  • Controlling the outputs using Open API (JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT-flex, Telnet, ...)
  • Integration with various third-party programs and applications.
  • Controlling the device from the NETIO Mobile 2 (LAN or NETIO Cloud).

PowerDIN-4PZ smart electrometer with LAN and WiFi

LAN / Wi-Fi

The product can be connected to one network only at a time. When a live RJ45 (Ethernet) connection is detected, the product uses the LAN. When the RJ45 cable is disconnected or the link layer is inactive, the product switches to WiFi.

For the WiFi connection, the product uses an internal antenna. When the device is installed in metal cabinet, WiFi distance will be very limited.

The WiFi connection can be configured using the AP mode.
For WiFi setup without LAN, the product features a built-in WiFi AP as well as a wizard to guide you through the selection of a WiFi network and configuring the connection. The mode switch button is located under the top panel.

 

Web_HTTPs

HTTPs

NETIO PDUs have implemented HTTPs security.
The HTTPs is supported both for the WEB interface and for Open API protocols (JSON, XML). A customer certificate can be used.
 

 

NETIO Cloud

The product can be connected to NETIO Cloud. Control hundreds of outputs from a single web screen. NETIO Cloud is an ideal solution for remote control and restarting. The NETIO Cloud service is a paid service.

  • All devices produced by the NETIO products company can be connected to NETIO Cloud.
  • With every added device you receive free "Welcome Credit"
  • Devices connected to the service can be controlled securely from anywhere over the Web (HTTPs).
  • NETIO Cloud can be used in parallel with another Open API protocol.
  • Communication with the Cloud service is secured (port 8883 - MQTTs - TLS)
  • NETIO Cloud uses a separate Open API (MQTTS protocol) to control all devices linked to a given user account.

Scheduler function (calendar)

With the Scheduler (timer) function, each output can be individually switched on or off at specified times and days of week. The switching times are easily configured in a graphical interface.
 
  • Each output can have its own schedule
  • When a schedule is active, outputs can still be controlled with NETIO Cloud, the web interface and Open API
  • Scheduler functionality can be enabled/disabled (not edited) for each output from the NETIO Mobile 2 app.
     
  • Scheduler does not need an internet connection. However, a time source is needed – provided over the internet or, for example, by a local ADSL / WiFi router.
  • For special usage the Scheduler can be combined with PAB (Power Analyze Blocks):
    • Switching time is based on current sunrise/sunset based on your location
    • Whatever happend, defined output can be switched off on defined time (midnight for example).
    • Ask for more..

Condition & RulesIcon_Condition-Rules

The NETIO Conditions (WatchDog) & Rules are preprogrammed in the device. It's great tool for special usage and applications.

Customer activate these functions in script based configuration. Using Condition & Rules it is possible to define the reaction of defined output to the (non) response of PING WatchDog. NETIO Condition & Rules are supported by all NETIO devices manufactured after 2020 with the exception of PowerPDU 4C (supports LUA scripts).

Detailed description you can find on the wiki.netio-products.com, check the "NETIO Conditions & Rules: Local device scripting" part.

 

 

Power-up state

User can define output state after power restoring - PowerUp state

For some applications, it is important to set the power socket state immediately after the device is powered on (or the power is restored after a failure). With some machines it is important to avoid momentary switch-on or switch-off. This parameter therefore defines the behavior of the 110/230V output power socket before the standard communication with a master system starts to work. 

  • On
  • Off
  • LAST state restores the last state before the power was disconnected

 

Power-Up sequence (switching outputs on with a delay)

When the power is restored after an outage, electrical appliances can be switched on in sequence with certain delays in order to avoid an overload and the tripping of circuit breakers. With the PowerCable 2PZ, use these parameters: “Power-Up state” = ON / LAST, and “Output PowerUp interval” = power-up delay before switching that particular output on.

>> Glossary: PowerUp state
>> Glossary: PowerUp sekvence

 

 

ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching)

An important feature of the NETIO PowerCable 2PZ is ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching).

ZVS controls the exact time when the mechanical relay contacts close and open. The relay contacts switch the outputs on or off when the voltage crosses the zero level. 

  • In the long term, ZVS support reduces the product failure rate due to internal relay damage.
  • Since the relay switches when the sinusoidal voltage waveform crosses the zero level, negative effects of inrush current are significantly reduced.
  • The ZVS and PowerUp delay functions reduce the chance of circuit breakers tripping when power is restored after an outage.
  • ZVS extends the lifetime of connected equipment, especially in case of frequent on/off switching of devices that are not designed for that (such as switching power supplies).
