Chapter 6 MIB Files This chapter describes the Management Information Base (MIB) files available with the card. A MIB is an information repository residing on a device in a communication network. Network management software uses a device's MIB to manage the device. Every manageable device on a network has a MIB consisting of one or more files that list information about the device.
MIB Files Powerware UPS MIB NOTE Not every UPS model implements all of the Powerware UPS MIB objects. For example, the Bypass objects are supported only by larger UPSs with a separate bypass feed. The Powerware UPS MIB consists of the following groups: l l l l l l l l l l Identification – the xupsIdent status objects provide UPS information, such as the UPS model or UPS firmware version.
MIB Files Eaton EMP MIB Objects in this group are provided by the Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) and include temperature and humidity readings, alarming limits, the two contacts readings, and setup information. The group contains a table of values for environmental contact sensing (normally two digital inputs for monitoring all contacts). Traps are sent in response to EMP changes to indicate the type of alarm, alarm acknowledgement, and alarm clearing.
Chapter 7 Modbus Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) Configuration The Power Xpert Gateway Minislot (PXGMS) UPS Card is a network connectivity device for the UPS that also allows you to continuously and reliably monitor the UPSs in your Building Management System (BMS). The card supports the Modbus protocol to integrate data from the UPS into your building management system software.

Chapter 8 Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU This chapter describes the UPS data that is available through the Modbus protocol. The UPS monitors several parameters, such as voltage, current, power, and alarms. The value of each parameter is stored in a corresponding Modbus data register.
Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU NOTE 4. The timeout setting determines how long the PXGMS UPS Card will wait for a completed request message from the Master device. Click Apply and then OK to save the setting. Returning Modbus Serial Error Codes By default, the PXGMS UPS Card returns a Modbus error code when it receives an incoming register/discrete/ coil READ request for an address that is not currently valid.
Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU Data Formats Modbus programs usually provide an option for viewing various data types. Refer to your Modbus program documentation for detailed information on viewing data options. A register is 16 bits (two bytes). The UPS supports the following data types: l l l l l STRING – A string of ASCII characters (two per register). Consult the Size parameter to find the string's length for a given entry (it is a multiple of two so that entries are register-aligned).
Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU UPS Modbus TCP Unit ID Numbers The Unit IDs associated with the Modbus registers apply to specific UPS load groups or power modules (see Table 9). The UPS has a Unit ID of 0, 1, 247, or 255, while UPS load groups or power modules within the UPS have Unit IDs that range from 2 to 127 and 239 to 243 (for UPS load groups or power module data). Some data is available at multiple Unit IDs as a work around for address limited Modbus software products.
Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU Table 10.
Modbus Registers for TCP and RTU EMP (FC 04) NOTE See “Configuring EMP Settings” on page 38 for more information. The optional EMP for the UPS can measure temperature and humidity. Because the device can be located outside the UPS, the reference is to auxiliary data. In addition, it contains two connections for monitoring the condition of auxiliary input contacts, such as a door switch. See Table 12 for a list of EMP registers. An exception code is returned if the EMP is not installed.
