This chapter describes the communication features of the Powerware 9395 225–275 kVA UPS
and provides information about connecting hardware and using Terminal mode. For terminal
wiring information, see paragraph 2.2.3 on page 17 and paragraph 3.5 on page 28. For location
of the customer interface panels and terminals, see Figure 3-3 on page 26 and Figure 3-7

7.1 X-Slot cards
The Powerware 9395 UPS four X-Slot communication bays (see Figure 3-7 on page 30 for). The
UPS is compatible with the following X-Slot cards (see Figure 7-1):
Modbus card - provides direct integration of UPS information (meters and status) to a
Building Management System (BMS) using the Modbus RTU protocol.
ConnectUPS-X Web/SNMP card - provides remote monitoring through a Web browser
interface, e-mail, and a network management system (NMS) using SNMP; 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. This card is provided as standard equipment with the UPS.
NOTE
The Modem card cannot be installed in X-Slot 2.
Modem card - provides “out-of-band” remote notification and monitoring using modem
communication directly to cell phones and pagers.
Relay Interface card (AS/400) - has isolated dry contact (Form-C) relay outputs for UPS
status: Utility failure, Low battery, UPS alarm/OK, or On bypass when interfacing with IBM®
AS/400 computers, other relay connected computers, and industrial applications.
Industrial Relay card (IRC) - indicates 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. Normal, Bypass, Battery, and Alarm
modes can be monitored.
