8 External Monitoring andBuilding ManagementSystems
Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™-controlled cooling units are equipped with embedded Liebert® IS-Unity-DP™ software to
communicate with external monitoring systems including Building Management Systems (BMS), Network Monitoring
Systems (NMS) and Vertiv™ Liebert® SiteScan™ Web.
Embedded Unity communicates with multiple third-party protocols to monitor and manage a range of parameters and events.
The Embedded Unity software delivers:
NOTE: Because the Liebert® iCOM™ U2U network must be separate from other networks, use external monitoring or
BMS to communicate securely between networks.
• Velocity Protocol for Vertiv™ Trellis™, Vertiv™ Liebert® SiteScan™ and Vertiv™ Liebert® Nform.
• Embedded Vertiv™ LIFE™ Technology for Remote Service Delivery.
• SNMP (v1/v2/v3) for NMS.
• HTTP/HTTPS for web page viewing.
• SMTP for e-mail.
• SMS for mobile messaging.
• Modbus RTU-Modbus Remote Terminal Unit communication protocol for BMS over an RS-485 serial
network (Modbus RTU RS-485).
• Modbus TCP-Modbus Transmission Control Protocol for BMS over Internet or LAN.
• BACnet IP—BACnet over Internet Protocol for BMS over Internet or LAN.
• BACnet MSTP—BACnet Primary-Secondary/Token-Passing communication protocol for BMS over an
RS-485 serial network (Modbus MSTP RS-485).
8.1 BMS and Vertiv™ Liebert® IntelliSlot™ Settings
When communicating with a building management system (BMS) with an optional Liebert® IntelliSlot™ Unity card or via
embedded Unity function, the BMS settings are identical and include:
• Disconnect fail safe
• Manual fan speed control
• Allowing the BMS to change fan speed
• Backup fan control
8.1.1 Configuring BMS Communication with Embedded Unity
By default, built-in Unity function is disabled. You must enable communication with the BMS via the IS-UNITY options in
Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™.
To configure Modbus, BACnet, SNMP, SMS, SMTP, and HTTP communication, see Communication Setup with Embedded
Unity on page120 .
To Enable Embedded Unity Function
1. Touch , then > BMS & Teamwork > BMS Setup.
The BMS SETUP panel opens.
