Overview

A smart power distribution unit (or intelligent power distribution unit) can be a key factor in roping in electricity costs through its energy-efficient standards. For instance, a smart PDU, such as a monitored or switched model, connects to your Ethernet network via a standard RJ45 cable. Through its network interface, the intelligent PDU allows you to monitor your connected equipment from anywhere in the world 24/7. You can also set up automated alerts to notify you of certain events.

A smart PDU features a load meter that monitors how much power your mining equipment is using. This reduces guesswork about how to improve energy efficiency. Not only can you see current usage in real time, you can also review data and event logs to monitor trends and improve planning.

When load levels become too high, the smart PDU can send you an alert and prevent costly downtime before it happens. You don’t have to be physically present with your mining equipment to adjust your load.

A switched PDU can even monitor the amount of amps transmitted through each individual outlet, so you can shift your connected equipment around (if you happen to be on the premises) or shut down unused outlets remotely to save energy costs.

Knowing how much current is being drawn by each outlet allows you to perform device-level optimization. Switching off unused outlets prevents unauthorized equipment from being added without your knowledge and avoids tripped circuit breakers (luckily, the breakers are easily resettable). Your server is probably going to be on all the time, but if you need to shut it down, it is easy to do so through a smart PDU.

AZE manufactures a wide selection of smart PDUs with up to 60 outlets to keep your cryptocurrency mining operating at full tilt,the High-Density Crypto Smart Mining PDUs have below features:

•  Remote network management

a. Cascade management (SNMP V1.V2.V3)
b. Data graphical display
c. User management
d. Detailed log
e. Multiple alarm mode g. Access management,by telnet,ssh or modbus-rtu h. Multiple output options

• Monitoring function

a. Monitoring input voltage
b. Monitoring total load current
c. Monitoring total power (KW)
d. Monitoring energy consumption (KWH)
e. Motoring total power factor
f. Monitoring each outlet power
g. Calculate each unit energy consumption

• Control function

a. On / off control for each outlet
b. On / off time setting for each outlet
c. Boot time delay setting
d. Set current limit for each outlet
e. Overload protection (automatic power-off)

In additional to real-time remote monitoring of voltage, frequency and load levels, a smart PDU can also observe environmental levels near your mining equipment. You can place an environmental sensor that measures ambient temperature and humidity. It will send you an alarm if conditions exceed a certain limit. It can also monitor contact closure status of fire alarms, smoke detectors and security systems.
