Communications and control are at the
heart of any reliable UPS solution.
Powerware relay interface cards provide
shutdown and monitoring of UPS status
through a connected computer.
The relay interface cards come in two
models, the X-slot version and BestDock
version. Both are dedicated adapters
that provide the essential dry-contact
interface between your Powerware UPS
and any relay-connected computer,
including the AS/400, as well as a
variety of industrial applications.
The X-slot relay interface card is
designed to function with all Powerware
UPS products equipped for X-slot
communications, which include the
Powerware 5125, Powerware 9125,
Powerware 9330 and Powerware 9340.
The BestDock relay interface card is
designed to work specifically with the
Powerware 9120 and Powerware 9170+.
These relay interface cards include a
remote shutdown feature, using which
the UPS shutdown is performed by
connecting the relay interface card
shutdown pin (15) to +12VDC (Pin 13)
for a minimum of 5 seconds.
The BestDock Relay Interface Card
shutdown feature functionality depends
on the jumper (JP1, JP2 & JP3) selected
on the board and on the UPS
mode (normal or on-battery).
