This chapter describes the communication features of the Powerware 9390 100–160 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 164201604-8 starting on page A-33 for bay locations. The UPS is compatible with the following X-Slot cards (see Figure 13-1):
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 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. If the UPS has only two X-Slots, move the ConnectUPS-X Web/SNMP Card to X-Slot 2 and install the Modem Card in X-Slot 1.
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.
Powerware Hot Sync Computer Area Network (CAN) 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 II, a Relay Interface Module II, or a Supervisory Contact Module II to the UPS.
