Pulsar Edge Controller (For Applications in J2007001 shelves)
The CPL Pulsar Edge controller delivers large system intelligence in a small system form factor. This
family of controllers functions as a 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 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 rectifiers, batteries, and distribution. A flexible
set of configurable 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. GE 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.
