About the IPL T PCS4

The Extron IPL T PCS4/IPL T PCS4i IP Link Power Control Interface is an
Ethernet-based power management device that provides the capability to control
power and to schedule and monitor up to four output devices via TCP/IP. The
IPL T PCS4i is an international version, configured for 220 VAC. Unless otherwise
specified, "IPL T PCS4" and "PCS4" refer to both product versions throughout this
manual.
The PCS4 can be used as a stand-alone control device or as one of many nodes in a
distributed control system environment. It lets you remotely power on and off any
attached device and to individually sample and store device power levels. The
PCS4 has its own Web pages, stored in flash memory within the device.

Features

Power level monitoring — Four 3-prong power output receptacles sense the
Individual power threshold settings — User-defined power thresholds can be set
Power-up sequencing — Power-up sequencing eliminates power surges at start-
Grouping of receptacles — To support dual powered devices by controlling them
Detection device (alarm relay) — This relay on the rear panel may be connected to
Internet communication — The PCS4 uses standard Ethernet and TCP/IP

sequentially, separated by a user-configurable delay. (The factory default
delay time is 1 second.) The attached devices are powered up in ascending
order from receptacle 1 to 4.
The IPL T PCS4 powers up only those devices that were previously powered
