8 Communication
This chapter describes the communication features of the Eaton 9395 225-275/300 kVA UPS and
provides information about connecting hardware and using Terminal mode. For location of the
customer interface panels and terminals, see Figure 4-4 on page 30 and Figure 4-8 on page 35 through
Figure 4-10 on page 36.
8.1 X-Slot cards
The Eaton 9395 UPS has four X-Slot communication bays (see Figure 4-8 on page 35 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. This card is
provided as standard equipment with the UPS.
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.
