Connecting the Battery Communication System within the Battery Cabinet
Lay the communication cable over the DC cable. Incorporate the rest of the battery modules into the communication cabling within the battery cabinet, working from top to bottom.
The Battery Communications Module supports network communication with other devices in the environment. This capability can present risks if it's not configured securely. Following are Eaton recommended best practices to help secure the network.
Secure the facility and equipment rooms or closets with access control mechanisms such as locks, entry card readers, guards, man traps, CCTV, etc. as appropriate. Restrict physical access to cabinets and/or enclosures containing the Battery Communications Module and the associated system. Monitor and log the access at all times.
The module stores battery information and can also transmit data to a cloud-based data storage system. Figure 1. Eaton Battery Communications Module The communications module can be mounted either horizontally or vertically.
Apply power to the Battery Communications Module. Ensure that a USB cable is connected between the computer and the communications module mini USB port (see Figure 6). The cable must be connected to update the driver.
