Pulsar Edge Controller
The CPL Pulsar Edge controller delivers large system intelligence in a small system form factor. This
family of controllers functions asa network interface controller (NIC) and as a full-featured battery
plant controller to the Compact Power Line (CPL) platform. Its thin modular plug-in form factor
minimizes shelf space consumption allowing maximum power module and distribution capabilities yet
provides nearly all the features found in controllers used in much larger power systems.
The Pulsar Edge CP841A controller is utilized in bulk power applications in data centers and enterprise
applications. Ethernet connectivity with SNMP facilitates remote network management access
through its front-accessible RS232 or USB port and is aided by the EasyView2 graphical user interface.
As a battery plant controller, it provides a complete set of features to monitor and control rectiers,
batteries, and distribution. A exible set of congurable inputs allow the CP841A to monitor a wide variety of system equipment and
incorporate appropriate state information enabling a centralized point of management.
The controller utilizes standard network management protocols allowing for advanced network supervision. Lineage Power Galaxy
Manager™ software is the centralized visibility and control component of a comprehensive power management system designed to
meet engineering, operations, and maintenance needs. The Galaxy Manager client-server architecture enables remote access to
system controllers across the power network.
