Chapter 13 Communication
This chapter describes the communication features of the Powerware 9390 40–80 kVA UPS
and provides information about connecting hardware and using Terminal mode.
13.1 X-Slot Cards
The Powerware 9390 UPS has a standard, factory-installed X-Slot communication bay with
two slots. An optional second bay is available, providing two additional slots. See Drawing
164201535 -8 starting on page A-33 for bay locations. The UPS is compatible with the
following X-Slot cards (see Figure 13-1):
Ī Modbus Card - provides direct integration of UPS information (meters and status) to a
Building Management System (BMS) using the Modbus RTU protocol.
Ī ConnectUPS-X Web/SNMP Card - 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. 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. This card is provided as standard equipment
with the UPS.
Ī Modem Card - provides “out-of-band” remote notification and monitoring using modem
communication directly to cell phones and pagers.
Ī 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.
Ī 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.
Ī Hot Sync Computer Area Network 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, a Relay Interface Module, or Supervisory Contact Module, to the UPS.
LAN and telephone drops for use with X-Slot connectivity cards must be provided by
facility planners or the customer.
For installation and setup of an X-Slot card, please contact Powerware (see page 1-6). Refer
to the manual supplied with the X-Slot card for user instructions.
