Chapter 6 Description of the Interface (Active)

The Active UPS has a standard interface COM A and an optional interface COM B. Protocol data transfer signal exchange is through COM A RS232 interface or the optional interface (COM B).

These interfaces can be used for:

Direct communication between UPS and a computer.

Integration of the UPS as client into a network with centralized monitoring.

Transfer of operational states to external alarm systems.

The necessary communication software packages and interface cables are available as accessories.

6.1 Standard Interface COM A

The 9-pin SUB-D connector (pin contacts) contains the RS 232 signals, 5 output signals and 1 input signal. The RS232 signal RXD can also be used as input signal, when the sequential interface is not used.

The 5 alarm outputs are open-collector outputs.
