X-Slot Cards
X-Slot cards allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments
and with different types of devices. The BladeUPS 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, you can attach an Eaton Environmental
Monitoring Probe 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. You
can monitor Normal, Bypass, Battery, and Alarm mode.
S Modem Card - provides out-of-band remote notification and monitoring using
modem communication directly to cell phones and pagers.
See Figure 46 on page 77 for the location of the two X-Slot communication bays.
