The Eaton PDC3XROP220ADN is a software-licensed, 3-phase dynamic power controller module designed for the Eaton XTION advanced motor starter and soft starter platform. This module is a key component in implementing Dynamic Power Control (DPC) strategies.
Parameter Category Specification
General Model Information
Product Line Eaton XTION Motor Management System
Model Number PDC3XROP220ADN
Description Dynamic Power Controller Module, 3-Phase, 220V AC Supply, Advanced License
Type Digital controller module with licensed software features.
Core Function Monitors and controls the total apparent power (kVA), active power (kW), or current of a group of XTION-controlled loads to stay below a setpoint.
Power Supply
Control Voltage (Us) 220V AC (Nominal). Common range: 85-264V AC, 50/60 Hz. (Must verify with exact datasheet)
Power Consumption Typically low (e.g., < 15 VA).
Licensing & Features
License Level Advanced (ADN). This enables:
• Dynamic Power Control (DPC) with configurable setpoints and limits.
• "Stop" and "Hold" Control Modes: Can command connected starters to stop or hold based on priority.
• 8 Configurable Load Groups: For complex prioritization strategies.
• Extended Monitoring & Logging.
Hardware & Physical
Mounting Standard 35mm DIN Rail (EN 60715).
Communication Interface Dedicated cable connection to a PDC Manager (PDM3...) unit. The Manager handles communication with the XTION starters.
Ambient Temperature Operation: -25°C to +60°C (typical for electronic controllers). Storage: -40°C to +85°C.
Protection Rating (IP) IP20 (for installation inside a protected enclosure).
Control & Performance
Controllable Units Works in conjunction with a PDC Manager, which can manage up to 12 XTION units (starters/soft starters).
Control Modes • Limit (Priority-Based): Starts/Stops lower priority loads to keep total under limit.
• Stop: Commands a stop to selected loads.
• Hold: Places a start command for a selected load on hold.
Measurement Inputs Receives 3-phase power data (Voltage, Current, Power) from the PDC Manager unit.
Setpoint Configuration User-configurable via software (e.g., Eaton EASYsoft or other configuration tools connected to the PDC Manager/XTION network).
Standards & Approvals
Standards Compliance IEC/EN 60947-4-2 (Automatic electrical controls for AC semiconductor motor controllers and starters), CE marked, UL listed (verify for specific model).
Key Application Benefits 1. Cost Savings: Reduces peak demand charges from utility companies.
2. Asset Protection: Prevents overload of power sources (gensets, transformers).
3. Operational Reliability: Ensures critical/high-priority motors always have power to start.
4. Easy Integration: Seamless setup within the Eaton XTION ecosystem.
