PXG400 — Eaton Power Xpert Gateway PXG400
The Eaton Power Xpert Gateway PXG400 is a high-performance industrial protocol gateway and power monitoring concentrator engineered to bridge Modbus RTU/TCP, DNP3, and IEC 61850 communication protocols within a single DIN-rail mounted device, enabling seamless integration of legacy power equipment and modern intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) into centralised SCADA, DMS, and energy management platforms. In Saudi Arabia's rapidly modernising electrical infrastructure — where SEC transmission substations, ARAMCO process plants, and NEOM smart-grid installations simultaneously operate legacy Modbus-equipped switchgear alongside modern IEC 61850 protection relays — the PXG400 provides the protocol translation backbone that makes unified power monitoring and control possible without equipment replacement. The gateway can aggregate data from up to 30 downstream Modbus RTU devices simultaneously while presenting all data upstream as a single IEC 61850 Logical Node structure or DNP3 outstation, dramatically simplifying SCADA database configuration.
The PXG400's processing architecture includes an industrial-grade ARM processor with real-time operating system, 256 MB of onboard memory for data buffering during communication outages, and a secure web-based configuration interface accessible via HTTPS that requires no proprietary configuration software — an important operational advantage in Saudi facilities where IT security policies restrict software installation on plant workstations. The gateway supports IEC 61850 Edition 1 and Edition 2, making it compatible with both the legacy IED fleet common in older Saudi Aramco and SEC installations and the newer Edition 2 devices specified in current protection relay procurement standards. DNP3 Level 2 compliance with time synchronisation via GPS or SNTP satisfies the SEC's energy management system (EMS) requirements for accurate event timestamping in transmission automation applications.
Across Saudi Arabia, the PXG400 is the gateway of choice for SEC distribution automation modernisation projects in the Central, Eastern, and Western regions, where it bridges existing Modbus-equipped recloser controllers and capacitor bank controllers to new DNP3-based distribution management systems. Saudi Aramco engineering standards explicitly reference the PXG400 as an approved gateway in upstream and downstream process facility power monitoring architectures. NEOM's digital utility infrastructure, which must integrate power equipment from multiple vendors across the full IEC 61850, DNP3, and Modbus protocol landscape, uses the PXG400 as the standard protocol translation layer at substation level.
Razz Middle East provides the PXG400 with full integration engineering support, including IEC 61850 SCL configuration file development, Modbus device database configuration, and SCADA point list mapping for common Saudi SCADA platforms including OSIsoft PI, Wonderware, and GE iFIX. We provide on-site commissioning and acceptance testing support, and our engineering team has specific experience with SEC distribution automation and Saudi Aramco power monitoring integration projects.

Key Features & Benefits
- Simultaneous Modbus RTU/TCP to IEC 61850 and DNP3 protocol translation aggregates up to 30 downstream devices into a single upstream logical node structure, simplifying SCADA database configuration.
- IEC 61850 Edition 1 and Edition 2 support ensures compatibility with both legacy IED fleets in existing Saudi Aramco and SEC installations and new Edition 2 devices in current procurement standards.
- 256 MB onboard data buffering preserves power event and measurement data during SCADA communication outages, preventing data gaps in energy management and protection event records.
- HTTPS web-based configuration requires no proprietary software, satisfying Saudi facility IT security policies that restrict software installation on plant workstations.
- DNP3 Level 2 compliance with GPS/SNTP time synchronisation provides accurate event timestamping meeting SEC EMS requirements for transmission automation and protection coordination.
- DIN-rail mount industrial design with -20°C to +60°C operating range supports installation in SEC distribution substation kiosks and Saudi Aramco process plant marshalling panels.
