8.1 RS232 AND USB COMPUTER INTERFACES
There are several different interfaces available to control the UPS and conveniently
read out status messages and measurements. The interface log is designed to be
used with “CompuWatch”, the shutdown and UPS management software from
AEG. Use the RS232 or USB communication cable that comes with the device to
connect your UPS to a PC.
The USB and the RS232 communication interface rule each another out, i.e. either
USB or RS232. Pin allocation of the RS232 Sub-D9 jack:
2 = TxD; 3 = RxD; 5 = GND
8.2 COMMUNICATIONS SLOT
There is a cover on the rear panel of the UPS (see no. 10 on page 29); remove it
to install additional, optionally available communication components, e.g.:
Relay card: Plug-in card with status messages, realized via potential-free relay
contacts (opener or closer)
Relay PRO card: As above, but with programmable pin allocation, connection via
terminal, additional option of remote On / Off
SNMP card: Plug-in card for the direct integration of the UPS into the Ethernet
network via RJ45 (TCP / IP)
SNMP PRO card: As above, but with the additional option of connecting and
managing an external sensor system
For details, please refer to the descriptions that come with each option. Additional
cards are in preparation.
The communication slot can be used in parallel to the RS232 or USB interface.
