Communication
This chapter describes the communication features of the Power Xpert 9395 UPS and
provides information about connecting hardware and using Terminal mode. For
terminal wiring information, see paragraph 3.2.3 on page 3-17 and paragraph 4.7 on
page 4-17. For location of the customer interface panels and terminals, see Figure 4‐4
on page 4-8 and Figure 4‐13 through Figure 4‐16 starting on page 4-19.

X-Slot Cards
The Power Xpert 9395 UPS has four standard, factory‐installed X-Slot communication
bays. See Figure 4‐13 on page 4-19 for bay locations. The UPS is compatible with the
following X-Slot cards (see Figure 8‐1):
Modbus Card – provides direct integration of UPS information (meters and status)
to a Building Management System (BMS) using the Modbus RTU protocol.
ConnectUPS-X Web/SNMP Card – provides remote monitoring through a Web
browser interface, e‐mail, and a network management system (NMS) using SNMP;
connects to a twisted‐pair Ethernet (10/100BaseT) network. It has a built-in
switching hub that allows three additional network devices to be connected to the
network without the requirement of additional network drops.
NOTE
The Modem Card cannot be installed in X-Slot 2.
Modem Card
– provides “out‐of‐band” remote notification and monitoring using
modem communication directly to cell phones and pagers.
Relay Interface Card (AS/400) – has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs for
UPS status: Utility failure, Low battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On bypass when
interfacing with IBM AS/400 computers, other relay connected computers, and
industrial applications.
Industrial Relay Card (IRC) – indicates the operating status of the UPS system
using the customer's monitoring equipment. The IRC uses four isolated
normally-open or normally-closed dry relay contacts to indicate the UPS status.
Normal, Bypass, Battery, and Alarm modes can be monitored.
Powerware Hot Sync CAN Bridge Card – provides connectivity for operational
mode control and metering of a parallel system at any UPM in the system. In
addition, this card can be used to connect optional system monitoring devices,
such as a Remote Monitor Panel II (RMP II), a Relay Interface Module II (RIM II), or
a Supervisory Contact Module II (SCM II) to the UPS.
Power Xpert
®
Gateway Card – provides a data gateway from the UPS to the Power
Xpert software; provides remote monitoring through a Web browser interface,
e-mail, and a network management system using SNMP; connects to a
twisted-pair Ethernet (10/100BaseT) network. Modbus TCP support provides direct
integration of the PDU's parameters to a Building Management System (BMS). It
has a built-in switching hub that allows one additional network device to be
connected to the network without the requirement of an additional network drop.
