6.1.2 Intelligent Card Option
SIC-SNMP card
SIC-SNMP card (SIC card for short) is a network management card, which makes the intelligent devices (such as
UPS, air conditioner, static transfer system (STS), sever power management system (SPM), and so on) produced by
Emerson have network communication capability. The SIC card can also be used with the Network Shutdown
designed by Emerson to provide safe automatic shutdown function for the computer, in which the Network Shutdown
has been installed, to protect data and reduce loss.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation guide.
JBUS/MODBUS adapter card
Through the background monitoring software, JBUS/MODBUS adapter card (adapter card for short) can adopt
JBUS/MODBUS (RTU) protocol to manage the UPS and the field lighting power system (FLP). The adapter card gets
various electrical parameters, running state and fault type of the devices to know the operation state of the devices.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation guide.
