ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
This document contains installation and operation instructions for the POWERLOGIC
Ethernet Gateway (EGX200). To install the EGX200, you should have a general
understanding of the POWERLOGIC Power Monitoring and Control System related
products and technology.
For more information about the POWERLOGIC system, see the following documents:
• POWERLOGIC System Manager (SMS) Software User's Guide
• POWERLOGIC System Architecture and Application Guide
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The POWERLOGIC EGX200 is an Ethernet-based device that provides a transparent
interface between Ethernet-based networks and field devices. Field devices include
meters, monitors, protective relays, PLCs, trip units, and other devices that
communicate using MODBUS, JBUS or POWERLOGIC protocol.
The EGX200 uses MODBUS/TCP protocol to access power monitoring information
across a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN). This capability allows
the use of power monitoring software to access information from devices for data
collection, trending, alarm/event management, harmonic analysis, and other functions.
