Module Options
The Smartpack is a scalable controller with modular design. It can be optimized for
different requirements by means of plug-in-kits. Various Smartpack controller options are
available offering remote control management via modem, Web, e-mail and SNMP.
Smartpack Controller ⎯ Standard
Figure 11 The standard Smartpack controller. Front and rear connections
The Smartpack controller – in standard option, Art 242100.110 – allows local monitoring
and control via the module’s front keys, LED lamps, LCD display and via a PC connected
to the USB port.
The controller’s functionality can be expanded by connecting several Smartpack
controllers to the CAN bus (distributed DC power system). See Figure 9, page 11.
For more detailed description of connectors, see Figure 4, page 7.
Smartpack Controller ⎯ Ethernet
Figure 12 The Smartpack controller, Ethernet option. Front and rear connections
The Smartpack controller – in Ethernet option, Art 242100.113 – allows remote system
monitoring and control via the Ethernet port, using TCP/IP network protocol. Connect a
10/100 Base T screened Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port.
The Ethernet plug-in-kit incorporates an embedded Web adapter, supporting Web/HTML
interface, remote logon by PowerSuite, SNMP protocol (Get, Set, Traps) and e-mail alert
via your network e-mail server. For description of the functionality provided by the
embedded the Web adapter, read the WebPower Adapter manual, Art. 356943.013.
The Smartpack’s standard and Ethernet options offer otherwise the same functionality,
except for the Alarm I/O Connections on CON2, which are replaced by the Ethernet plug-
in-kit.
Thus the Ethernet module option supports fewer I/O connections -- four input circuits
and four relay output circuits less. See Figure 6, page 9.
