With network complexities increasing, a variety
of communication methodologies may be used
to monitor critical equipment on the network.
At the same time, the availability of reliable
power is becoming more important for
maintaining data integrity. The net effect of
these factors is the need for flexibility of
communication methods with strategic
equipment including an Uninterruptible Power
System (UPS). With the Powerware Expansion
Chassis, users may easily configure a UPS-based
power protection system that supports the
chosen network protocol.
Communication Card Options/
Protocol Conversion
The Expansion Chassis is a three-slot peripheral
device that expands communication methods for
a UPS through its support for X-slot™cards. It
comes preconfigured with a card that conforms
to the Modicon®Modbus®‚ protocol. The Modbus
Card serves as the integral communications
controller for the other two slots.
The Modbus card and its associated Profiler
software utility allow easy integration into a
Building Management System (BMS). Key facilities personnel may monitor power conditions in
real-time through this configuration.
Two additional slots are available for use with
any of the following cards:
쑺
ConnectUPS™-X SNMP/Web Adapter – monitor
via SNMP or the Web
쑺
ConnectUPS-M SNMP Module – monitor via
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
쑺
Single Port Serial Card – connect an additional
server for monitoring and graceful shutdown
쑺
Multi-Server Card – connect up to three
servers for monitoring and graceful shutdown,
supports load segment control and RS-232
signals for low battery and AC Fail
쑺
Modbus Card – connect to another Modbus
Network, monitor via BMS
The Expansion Chassis and associated cards
effectively act as a protocol converter easily
integrating the UPS into open architecture
management systems.
Flexible Mounting
The Expansion Chassis may be placed on or
close to the associated UPS using the included
mounting feet. The kit includes brackets for
rack and wall mounting.
