Interfaces of the 7KN POWERCENTER 3000

7KN Powercenter 3000 provides separate interfaces for external and internal communication,
having different communication options. These are explained below.
4.6.1

Internal Ethernet interface for the smart assembly network

Benefits: Through this interface, the SENTRON devices of a smart switchgear assembly (=
smart assembly) are connected via Ethernet to a 7KN Powercenter 3000.
For example:
• PAC1600 via RS485
• PAC2200, incl. devices certified according to MID
• PAC3120 / PAC3100 via RS485
• PAC3220 / PAC3200 / PAC3200T
• PAC4200, e.g. as gateway to the devices connected via RS 485
• 3WL via COM16 via RS 485
• 3WL via COM35
• 3VA via COM100 / COM800
• Other Modbus devices
• powerconfig (optional)
• Web user interface, e.g. HMI Panel. The default IP address on X2P1 is: 192.168.1.2
You will find further devices in the Download information

Performance features of the smart assembly interface

• The devices are addressed via 7KN Powercenter 3000 with one IP address only. This saves
costs if the network infrastructure is charged based on IP addresses.
• The devices can be accessed with uniform security settings via the external interface. This
saves administrative work and reduces errors due to missing security settings.
• The security measures (see Security features (Page 38)) of the internal interface are
deactivated in the delivery condition.
• Date and time synchronization of the connected devices as the basis for digitalization.
• The internal Ethernet interface (X2 P1) must be used for first commissioning. This can be
done via SENTRON powerconfig (current version) or alternatively via the web user
interface.
• Transmission rates 10/1000 Mbps
• RJ45 socket (8P8C) on the underside of the device for RJ45 connector with EIA/TIA T568B
assignment
• Auto negotiation
• MDI-X auto crossover
