Chapter 1 Introduction ® ® ® ® The Eaton Powerware Modbus Card is an X-Slot connectivity device that allows you to continuously and reliably monitor the UPSs in your Building Management System (BMS). The card uses the Modbus protocol to integrate data from the UPS into your building management R software, such as Wonderware. The Modbus Card, shown in Figure 1, has the following features: S RS-485 communication through an isolated DB-9 port or isolated terminal strip S Selectable termination and

Chapter 3 Wiring the Modbus Card The Modbus Card provides an easy path for integrating a Powerware UPS into an RS-485 Modbus network and also provides isolation of the communication between the UPS and the RS-485 Modbus network. You can use the DB-9 port or terminal strip on the Modbus Card to wire into a two-wire or four-wire network. Two-Wire Networks The Modbus Card’s default configuration is for two-wire, half-duplex, RS-485 networks. Figure 6 shows a detailed view of two-wire connections us
