NETYS PR RACK 1U
- Ref.: IOMNETPRXX01-GB 02
The UPS provides excellent protection against interruptions or imperfections in the mains power supply. In these cases the computer
(load) is powered by the UPS using battery power until this runs out.
Various software applications and communication options are available to optimise operation of the UPS and to correctly manage
shutdown when back-up power ends. The status of the UPS can be monitored, keeping track of all the mains failures and battery
discharges so as to activate an automatic and orderly procedure to close the programs and shutdown the system. When mains
power returns the system will restart automatically.
All Netys models are equipped with RS232 and USB communication interface (USB not available on the Netys PR 1000 model).
9.1. COMMUNICATION
SOLUTIONS
Depending on the model, there are different types of connections and software compatibility as shown in the table below:
•
Uni Vision
: local management software for local shutdown of Windows™ & Linux systems, free on www.socomec.com - RS232
interface
•
Uni Vision Pro
: network management software for local and remote shutdown: supports the major operating systems through
Java Shutdown Client technology -
RS232 interface
•
BMS
: possibility to integrate the UPS with BMS (Building Management Systems) -
JBUS protocol
•
HID
: UPS management based on Windows™ embedded service -
USB interface
•
NetVision
: Web/SNMP manager for UPS control over LAN with TCP/IP protocol. Allows remote shutdown through Java Shutdown
Client technology -
Web/SNMP card
9.2. RS232
INTERFACE
Communication with the server can take place directly via the RS232 interface.
In addition to local or networked shutdown it is possible to perform full monitoring of the electrical parameters regarding battery
status and the automatic programming of the UPS start-up and shutdown procedures.
For a complete description of the software features, refer to the Uni Vision and Uni Vision Pro documentation.
9.3. USB
interface
In addition to the RS232 serial link, it is also possible to establish communication directly through USB with the HID protocol, when
this is available in the operating system. In this case, no SW needs to be installed. A standard USB cable is used and once this is
connected, it is recognised just as any normal peripheral. The control parameters of the unit can be set directly via the operating
system service menu.
9.4. NET VISION OPTIONAL CARD FOR SLOT
Net Vision permits direct connection of the UPS to a LAN (RJ45 Ethernet) and remote control of the UPS through TCP/IP using a
WEB browser. For a complete description, refer to the Net Vision documentation.
9.5. USE OF WARNING RELAY INTERFACE
This is an optional card (slot-mounted) that will manage 5 indication circuits with isolated contacts carrying information on the status
of the UPS. The maximum voltage that can be applied to the contacts is 240 VDC, and the maximum current 1 A.
Relay contacts can be set individually for NO (default) or NC operation, and programmed selectively for customized monitoring of
the UPS.
WARNING!
The external contact MUST be dedicated and voltage-free, so as not to cause permanent damage to the UPS.
