The maximum number of sensors and actuators that can be managed
per sensor port of a Raritan product or Legrand PDU is 32 sensors or
actuators.
Note that though Raritan's EMX2-888 has 8 sensor ports, the number of
"externally-connected" sensors/actuators that it can manage is limited
to 128.
Calculation examples for managed sensors/actuators:
A sensor package may contain more than one sensor/actuator, and each
sensor or actuator is counted as an individual function. The calculation
principle is that the number of functions that a Raritan or Legrand
product (such as a PDU) manages per sensor port cannot exceed 32.
For example:
A DX2-T1H1 contains 2 sensors so it has 2 functions.
2*16 = 32
Therefore, you can manage up to 16 DX2-T1H1 packages per sensor
port.
A DX-D2C6 contains 6 sensors and 2 actuators so it has 8 functions.
8*4 = 32
Therefore, you can manage up to four DX-D2C6 packages per sensor
port.
Tip for DX sensor connection:
If intended, you can connect 12 DX sensor packages without exceeding
the maximum of managed sensors/actuators per sensor port -- 32. All
you need to do is manage "partial" sensors/actuators of each DX and
unmanage the rest.
For example, you can connect 12 DX-D2C6 sensor packages to a sensor
port by managing only two functions of each DX-D2C6.
12*2 = 24
All 24 sensors/actuators can be managed because it is less than 32.
For information on how to manage and unmanage (release) any
sensors/actuators, refer to online help or user guide of your Raritan or
Legrand product.
