事實(shí)上，近的一份報(bào)告指出，對(duì)數(shù)據(jù)中心監(jiān)控解決方案不斷增長(zhǎng)的需求是 PDU 市場(chǎng)增長(zhǎng)的關(guān)鍵驅(qū)動(dòng)力。監(jiān)控應(yīng)用程序中的 PDU 不僅有助于優(yōu)化能源使用，通過記錄用于支付計(jì)算和能源管理的每日功耗，還允許收集有關(guān) PDU 狀態(tài)的數(shù)據(jù)以進(jìn)行設(shè)備維護(hù)。

根據(jù) Moxa 的說(shuō)法，要獲得監(jiān)控 PDU 的好處，能源管理系統(tǒng) (EMS) 需要從 PDU 收集儀表數(shù)據(jù)，以便操作員可以控制、監(jiān)控和優(yōu)化 PDU 的性能。此外，遠(yuǎn)程配電板（RPP）也可以作為PDU的擴(kuò)展，通過提供額外的電路來(lái)增加配電容量。因此，監(jiān)控?cái)嗦菲骱碗娏骰ジ衅饕源_保通過不同電路的配電受到控制也很重要。

Once a user decides to monitor the PDUs and RPPs in an application environment, the question about enabling connectivity depends on the implementation plan. Besides connecting power meters, circuit breakers, and current transformers that might use different protocols and interfaces than your EMS, ask the following questions.

Is the goal to retrofit existing PDUs or deploy a new one? Is there enough space for wiring design? How many PDUs will be connected to the network?

Answers to the above questions will reveal the need for a single-port or high port-density connectivity solution. For example, if you have limited space for retrofitting your existing PDUs in a relatively small-scale application, a single-port connectivity solution may be the ideal option due its compact design. In contrast, high port-density connectivity solutions can help save on costs if there is sufficient space to deploy multiple new PDUs.

Choosing an easy-to-use connectivity solution can save significant time and effort. In the installation stage, wiring can be painful when you are connecting dozens of PDUs to the same network. Check if the selected connectivity solution has features such as Ethernet cascading, which provides an efficient wiring solution across several PDUs and RPPs to the EMS located in the control center. When PDUs and RPPs are up and running, networking devices will still require backups and updates from time to time.

When unexpected network failures occur, meter data loss can lead to miscalculation of power consumption data, resulting in incorrect billing and incomplete power data for analytics. To enhance power monitoring system reliability, consider backup mechanisms from different angles. Start from the networking devices.

Dual-power inputs and high EMI immunity are features that can protect networking devices from electrical interference. Next, develop a redundancy mechanism for network transmissions. There are various network redundancy features in the market. When considering these options, see if their recovery times are acceptable for the needs of the power monitoring application.
