rigorous task of managing the UPS that protects equipment and the critical data residing throughout
the network.
Powerware Expansion Chassis & Modbus Card
INCREASING THE FLExIBILITY OF UPS MONITORING & MANAGEMENT
The Expansion Chassis is a three-slot peripheral device that expands communication methods for a UPS through its support for X-Slot cards. It is pre-
configured with the Powerware Modbus card, which serves as the interface to Modbus networks and as the integral communications controller for
the other two slots.
Multi-Server Card & Relay Interface Cards
OUT-OF-BAND COMMUNICATIONS AND NOTIFICATION
OF UPS ALARM STATUS
The Multi-Server Card provides out-of-band serial communications with Powerware LanSafe software when Ethernet connectivity is not available
or required. Load segment control is mapped to specific serial ports on the card to provide selective control over critical loads. The Relay Interface
Cards provide simple alarm notification via isolated contacts to signal remote alarm panels or security systems in the event of a change of state in
UPS operation.
