X-Slot Cards
X-Slot cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking
environments and with different types of devices. The BladeUPS has
two available communication bays for any X-Slot card, including:
S
ConnectUPS-X Web/SNMP Card
- has SNMP and HTTP capabilities as
well as monitoring through a Web browser interface; 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. In addition, a Powerware Environmental Monitoring
Probe can be attached to obtain humidity, temperature, smoke alarm,
and security information.
S
Relay Interface Card
- has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs
for UPS status: Utility failure, Low battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On
bypass.
S
Modbus
®
Card
- allows you to continuously and reliably monitor the
UPSs in your Building Management System (BMS).
S
Industrial Relay Card (IRC)
- is used to indicate 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 mode can be monitored.
S
Modem Card
- provides out-of-band remote notification and monitoring
using modem communication directly to cell phones and pagers.
See Figure 47 on page 89 for the location of the two X-Slot
communication bays.
