X-Slot cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of
devices. The Eaton 9355 UPS has two available communication bays for any X-Slot card, including:
• 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's parameters to a Building Management System (BMS). It has a built-in
switching hub that allows a second network device to be connected to the network without the
requirement of an additional network drop.
• 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 Environmental Monitoring Probe can be attached to obtain
humidity, temperature, smoke alarm, and security information.
• Relay Interface Card - has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs for UPS status: Utility failure, Low
battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On bypass.
• Modbus
®
Card - allows you to continuously and reliably monitor the UPSs in your Building Management
System (BMS).
• 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.
• Multi-Server Card - has six serial communication ports that can communicate simultaneously with other
computers using LanSafe Power Management Software (provided on the Software Suite CD).
• Modem Card - provides out-of-band remote notification and monitoring using modem communication
directly to cell phones and pagers.
• Single-Port Card - connects to the Expansion Chassis to enable multiple communication options or to a PC
for power management control.
• ConnectUPS-MX SNMP Card - has Ethernet, modem, and SNMP capabilities.
• USB Card - connects to a USB port on your computer.
NOTE The Eaton 9355 UPS 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 10).
See Figure 60 for the location of the two X-Slot communication bays.
