A 1U 26-inch rack-mount AC power distribution unit with SSR-based switching, Ethernet telemetry, and a MIB-based protocol. The STM32H563VGT6 manages switching control, telemetry handling, and overall system supervision.
The 1U rack format imposes hard mechanical constraints right from the start: PCB layout, connector placement, thermal management, component height — everything has to fit within the envelope before anything else gets decided.
SSRs bring silent, wear-free switching. Ethernet connectivity turns the PDU into a networked device: channel status, remote supervision, integration into centralized control systems. Not just a fancy power strip — a connected power control platform built for structured professional deployment.
