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.
