Eaton offers several methods of communicating with your Eaton Ferrups FX UPS system in addition to the
remote control display.
Relay Card-MS
The Eaton Relay Card-MS enables automatic shutdown and network monitoring of UPS system status through
a connected computer with a dedicated adapter that provides the essential dry-contact interface between an
Eaton UPS and any relay-connected computer as well as a variety of industrial applications. The Relay Card-MS
is compatible with all Eaton UPSs that have a Minislot. See Table 11 for card functionality.
Network Card— M2
The Eaton Network Card-M2 allows an Eaton UPS to directly connect to the Ethernet network and the Internet,
supporting real-time monitoring and control of UPSs across the network via a standard Web browser, SNMP-
compliant network management system or power management software. Environmental monitoring is also
possible via an Environmental Monitor Probe (EMP)
Industrial Relay —MS
The Industrial relay Card-MS (IRC-MS) provides a simple way to remotely input UPS information to an alarm
system, PLC or a computer system via dry contacts. It offers five isolated dry contact outputs and one isolated
dry contact input. See Table 12 for card functionality.
Industrial Gateway-M2
The Eaton Industrial Gateway Card (INDGW-M2) combines the features of an SNMP agent, HTTP/web server
and a Modbus card to facilitate remote monitoring of your UPS system through any Building Management
System. Enjoy the freedom to customize and schedule actions, like shutdown protocols and load shedding, and
receive immediate notifications during power events, without having to be onsite.
IPP / IPM
Eaton's Intelligent Power Protector (IPP) software provides graceful, automatic shutdown of network devices
during a prolonged power disruption, preventing data loss and saving work-in-progress. As part of Eaton's
power network management system, IPP works alongside Eaton Intelligent Power Manager to deliver
comprehensive power management and protection.
Eaton's Intelligent Power Manager (IPM) software provides the tools needed to monitor and manage power
devices in your physical or virtual environment. This innovative software solution ensures system uptime and
data integrity by allowing you to remotely monitor, manage and control UPSs and other devices on your
network. IPM provides a solution that is easy to use and maintains business continuity.
Predict Pulse
PredictPulse Insight is the first cloud-based analytics service for data center infrastructure to predict the failure
of power components.
