Advanced Metered PDU
Customisable Intelligent PDUs from Schleifenbauer
Since 2008, Schleifenbauer has been producing advanced Power Distribution Units (PDUs), including Metered PDUs.
PDU 5.0 is their next generation advanced PDU. Built in collaboration with over 40 Data Centre operators to address the specific needs of modern Data Centres.
PDU 5.0 boasts real-time tracking and advanced energy management features, offering greater scalability, integration, and security.
Why Metered PDUs are important in Data Centres
Metered PDUs play a crucial role in Data Centres by providing vital data on energy consumed at both phase (input) and branch levels (breakers). These units, commonly found in Data Centres, ensure accurate and real-time power measurement for servers, networking equipment, and other devices.
Here are important reasons why Metered PDUs matter:
- Accurate Power Measurement: By utilising input metering, you can obtain precise power data for devices connected to the PDU and extend this to fuse/breaker levels. This data is crucial for capacity planning, billing, and efficient use of the Data Centre’s power infrastructure.
- Overload Protection: Monitoring power consumption at the PDU level prevents individual circuit overload and reduces the risk of downtime due to tripped circuit breakers.
- Energy Efficiency: You can enhance efficiency by tracking power usage and identifying inefficient equipment and areas for improvement.
- Compliance: Metered PDUs assist Data Centres in complying with regulatory requirements for power usage reporting.

Communication Modules
Hot swappable communication modules allow you to easily adapt to the evolving needs of Data Centres without experiencing operational downtime. With plug-n-play sensor capabilities, your PDU can support up to 32 sensors per unit, providing extensive environmental monitoring and management. Dual 1Gbps network connectivity, alongside dual Databus and dual USB on the Gateway and Controller modules, ensures you maintain reliable, high-speed connectivity within your network.
Gateway Module
The Gateway Module, designed to operate seamlessly with the EnerTree Platform, offers advanced energy management by centralising data from multiple PDUs. The intelligence level provided by the EnerTree Platform offers a robust solution for high-compute power monitoring applications. With a measurement refresh rate of once every second and support for up to 10,000 PDUs within the system, you can effectively improve efficiency and reduce costs by using less hardware within the PDU.
Controller Module
The Controller Module features embedded EnerTree Lite software with an internal Web GUI, offering you a more traditional form of power management. With a refresh rate of once every five seconds, it can support a maximum of 100 PDUs within the system. The module fully integrates with other PDU monitoring and management software systems, ensuring compatibility.
Daisy Chain Module
The Daisy Chain Module is a secure data communication module, which operates without an Ethernet port. It acts as a data relay module to enable PDU network expansion. It facilitates the creation of a ring topology and transmits data exclusively to a single Gateway or Controller Module.
