X-Slot Cards
For information about the Powerware Hot Sync CAN Bridge Card, see “Parallel
Communication” on page 61.
X-Slot cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments
and with different types of devices. The Powerware 9355 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 - is used to indicate the operating status of the UPS using the
customer’s monitoring equipment and to connect an optional RMP. 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 (see
page 55 for more information).
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 9355 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 7 on page 69).
See Figure 32 on page 47 for the location of the two X-Slot communication bays.
