The Power Xpert 9395 UPS has four standard, factory-installed X-Slot communication bays. See Figure 37 for
bay locations. The UPS is compatible with the following X-Slot cards (see Figure 126):
• Power Xpert
®
Gateway Card - provides a data gateway from the UPS to the Power Xpert software;
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. Modbus TCP support provides
direct integration of the UPS parameters to a Building Management System (BMS). It has a built-in
switching hub that allows one additional network device to be connected to the network without the
requirement of an additional network drop.
• Modbus Card - provides direct integration of UPS information (meters and status) to a Building
Management System (BMS) using the Modbus RTU protocol.
• 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. Online, Bypass, Battery, and Alarm modes can be monitored.
• Powerware Hot Sync 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 (RMP II), a Relay Interface Module II (RIM
II), or a Supervisory Contact Module II (SCM II) to the UPS. LAN drops for use with X-Slot connectivity
cards must be provided by facility planners or the customer.
LAN and telephone drops for use with X-Slot connectivity cards must be provided by facility planners or the
customer.
For installation and setup of an X-Slot card, contact an Eaton service representative (see section
1.8 Getting Help). Refer to the manual supplied with the X-Slot card for user instructions.
