Whether you’re in IT, manufacturing, process
control, facilities management or another key
position in an organization, attaining the highest
availability for critical equipment is a top
priority. Realizing that goal takes thorough
planning, careful design, superior equipment,
proper installation and reliable power. To attain
the highest availability of power, implementing a
backup system including an Uninterruptible
Power System (UPS) and a seamlessly integrated
monitoring system is crucial.
Full Integration with Building
Management Systems
The Powerware Modbus Card is an X-slot™
connectivity device that provides continuous,
reliable and accurate monitoring of a UPS
through a Building Management System (BMS).
The card uses the Modicon®‚ Modbus RTU
Protocol to integrate data from the UPS into
many, widely used BMS packages such as
Wonderware®, Johnson Controls’ Metasys®‚ and
Siemens’ Apogee™. Key power information may
be monitored in real-time to aid in the diagnosis
of problems.
Included with the Modbus Card is the Profiler
utility. Profiler creates a custom Modbus register
map specifically tailored to the key parameters
of the particular UPS. This makes it easy to
integrate into a BMS. The output of Profiler is a
.csv file that can be viewed with Microsoft®Excel,
if desired, then imported into a BMS.
Flexible Network Connections
The Modbus Card connects to the network via
RS-485 through either an isolated DB-9 port or
terminal block. The terminal block allows
conventional twisted pair cabling for daisy
chaining. Alternatively, RS-232 Modbus communication via a DB-9 port may be used.
Selectable Communication Topologies
The Modbus Card supports both two-wire and
four-wire communication making it suitable for
either topology. Also, because of its built-in,
user-selectable termination feature, the Modbus
Card may be placed at the end of the network.
Support for a Wide Range of UPSs
The Modbus Card conforms to the Powerware Xslot standard. This means that it supports a variety
of UPSs that feature a native X-slot. It also
supports other UPSs through the Powerware
Expansion Chassis.
