X-Slot Cards
X-Slot cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments
and with different types of devices. The Powerware 9155 has two available
communication bays for any X-Slot card, including:
S ConnectUPS -X Web/SNMP Card - has SNMP and HTTP capabilities as well as
monitoring through a Web browser interface; 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. In addition, a Powerware Environmental Monitoring
Probe can be attached to obtain humidity, temperature, smoke alarm, and security
information.
S Relay Interface Card - has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs for UPS status:
Utility failure, Low battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On bypass.
S Modbus
®
Card - allows you to continuously and reliably monitor the UPSs in your
Building Management System (BMS).
S Industrial Relay Card (IRC) - is used to indicate 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 mode can be monitored.
S Multi-Server Card - has six serial communication ports that can communicate
simultaneously with other computers using Powerware LanSafe Power
Management Software (provided on the Software Suite CD).
S Modem Card - provides out-of-band remote notification and monitoring using
modem communication directly to cell phones and pagers.
S Single-Port Card - provides serial communication.
S ConnectUPS-MX SNMP Card - has Ethernet, modem, and SNMP capabilities.
S USB Card - connects to a USB port on your computer.
NOTE The Powerware 9155 does not detect plug-and- play hardware. Before installing the USB Card, set
the UPS baud rate to 1200 through the front panel (see Table 9 on page 59).
See Figure 36 on page 49 for the location of the two X-Slot communication bays.
