Network Philosophy

The Pow-R-Command 2000 system is designed to provide the
user with the greatest flexibility for interfacing with it. The Pow-R-
Command 2000 system cleanly integrates into a number of larger
systems both through device level and system level communication
or can stand alone as a complete networked control system.
System Nodes General
The Pow-R-Command 2000 system basically consists of five different
types of devices. Each of these nodes is described briefly here and
given more detail in the following pages.
Control Nodes: Control nodes are assigned the duty of controlling
switching devices, as well as creating groups and time schedules.
Control nodes include the Universal System Controller, Switch
Override Controller and Telephone Override Controller. All of these
controllers communicate on the Pow-R-Command 2000 network.
The Pow-R-Command Switch Override Controller is used to allow
additional switch inputs (e.g., wall switches) to be integrated into
the Pow-R-Command 2000 network. The Pow-R-Command Tele-
phone Override Controller, as the name implies, allows the facility's
telephone system to be integrated into the Pow-R-Command 2000
network. The Pow-R-Command I/O Application Specific Controller is
designed for remote mounting, and can bring Pow-R-Command 2000
functionality to otherwise dissimilar equipment and systems. For
more information on the PRC SOC and PRC TOC, and the Application
Specific Controller see Technical Documents TD01412032E,
TD01412033E and TD01412044E.
Network Access Devices: Network Access Devices are the head
of the Pow-R-Command 2000 network. Pow-R-Command 2000
Network Access Devices provide entrance to the Pow-R-Command
2000 network and commonly act as a master controller. For complete
information on the Pow-R-Command 2000 Network Protocols and
Access Devices, see Technical Document TD01412034E.
Operator and User Workstations: The Pow-R-Command 2000
system is programmed through software. In order to make use of
the ability of the Pow-R-Command 2000 software packages, it is
necessary to use a computer. This includes desktop PCs, laptop
PCs and Pocket PCs. For more information on PC use with the
Pow-R-Command 2000 system, please see Technical Document
TD01412036E.
Software: In addition to completing the system setup through the
Pow-R-Command 2000 web interface mentioned earlier, all functions
of the Pow-R-Command 2000 system can also be set through soft-
ware installed on a personal computer with a connection to one of
our Network Access Devices. To provide the greatest amount of
flexibility in software control, there are five separate levels of
Pow-R-Command 2000 software that are sold separately. These
five levels are discussed further in this document. This software
is necessary in order to execute network commands between
panelboards (i.e., Peer to Peer communication between
Pow-R-Command 2000 panelboards).
Additional Protocols: Eaton understands that in some facilities it will
be necessary to integrate the Pow-R-Command 2000 system into
your Building Automation System (BAS). This is why we offer a
Pow-R-Command 2000 system that can communicate both TCP/IP
and BACnet/IP: The Pow-R-Command 2000B. No extra hardware is
needed. Also, the Pow-R-Command 2000 can communicate SOAP/
XML protocol through the Pow-R-Command 2000 SOAP/XML Server.
