    NSTALLATION The OpenComms NIC card may be ordered as a factory-installed option, and it may be installed as a kit for field retrofit to existing Lie- bert units or as a self-contained unit in its own enclosure. If ordered as a factory-installed option, proceed to 2.3 - User Connec- tions for OpenComms NIC.

  • Page 20: Operation

    PERATION SNMP The OpenComms Network Interface Card supports “get,” “getnext,” “set,” “response” and “trap” packets of SNMP (Simple Network Man- agement Protocol). The OpenComms NIC supports MIB-II, RFC1628 and Liebert Global Products MIBs. The terms “alarms” and “condi- tions” will be used interchangeably through out this description. Alarms are generated and maintained through the RFC 1628 UPS MIB.
  • Page 21: Rfc 1628 Ups Mib

    RFC 1628 UPS MIB UPS units log alarms in the RFC 1628 UPS MIB. Traps for the UPS units are generated out of the RFC 1628 UPS MIB. There are four traps that may be sent for the UPS units: Trap On Battery, Trap Test Completed, Trap Alarm Entry Added and Trap Alarm Entry Removed.

    See 5.0 - Modbus Communications and Connectivity for a com- plete explanation of the Modbus slave. System Reset The OpenComms Network card contains an on-board real time clock and watchdog circuitry. The card is self-monitoring and self-correct- ing. However, a push button is provided to permit a manual system reset.

  • Page 25: Modbus Communications And Connectivity

    ODBUS This section describes the Modbus communications protocol as sup- ported by the OpenComms NIC card. It includes information on how to pass information to and from the OpenComms NIC card via Mod- bus. It is also intended to help facilitate answering questions regard- ing supported types, frame format, function code support etc.
  • Page 26: Physical Connection

    Physical Connection A Modbus network should consist of one, and only one, host client, and up to 255 slaves uniquely identifiable by their slave ID. The slave ID of each OpenComms NIC is set through the service terminal (configu- ration) port. (See section 3, System Configuration for more details.) The OpenComms NIC supports multi-drop connection over RS485.

  • Page 28: Function Code Support

    5.4.2 Function Code Support The OpenComms NIC implements the following Modbus functions. However, integrators will use function code 0x03, and 0x06 most often due to the type of data to be acquired. 0x01 Read Coil Status 0x02 Read Input Status 0x03 Read Holding Registers 0x04...
  • Page 29: Read Input Status (0X02)

    5.4.6 Read Input Status (0x02) The input status block contains read-only status accessible to the users. It can be read by using function code 0x02 in the same as read- ing coil status. 5.4.7 Error Handling According to the Modbus specification, the OpenComms NIC composes the following exception responses to the client if an exception or error occurs.
  • Page 30: Rtu Framing Examples

    the OpenComms NIC module primarily uses Function Code 3 (Read Holding Registers) and Function Code 6 (Preset Single Register). Data Field(s) The data field varies in length depending on whether the message is a request or a response to a packet. This field typically contains infor- mation required by the slave device to perform the command specified or to pass back data to the master device.
  • Page 31: Nic Setup And Testing

    NIC Setup and Testing NIC S ETUP AND ESTING The NIC has a specific setup that must be in place before the card will function properly. There are jumpers on the board that must be in the correct locations. The positions of these jumpers are numbered on the board itself.
  • Page 32: Testing The Network

    Testing the Network “Ping” is a tool used to test the network. At the command prompt, type, “ping <address of card>”. Ping will respond that it received a reply from the card if the card is functioning properly on the network. If the card is not functioning properly or is not connecting to the net- work, ping will respond that the request it sent to the card has timed out.
  • Page 33: Web Troubleshooting

    Then, select number 2 for Display/Modify Communities. Verify that the IP Addresses listed are valid for your network. Verify that you are typing in the correct community name when trying to access SNMP. The community name is case sensitive. Once this information is verified, reboot the card and try to access SNMP again.
  • Page 34: Firmware

    IRMWARE The firmware in the OpenComms NIC card can be updated to take advantage of the latest release of software that may contain feature enhancements, new unit compatibility or service patches. The firm- ware is updated through the OpenComms NIC cards’ serial port, using a terminal emulation program like HyperTerminal in MS Windows Operating Systems.
  • Page 35: Establishing Communication-Service Terminal

    Establishing Communication—Service Terminal Settings 1. Launch HyperTerminal. Once you see the following screen, select Cancel. 2. Select the disconnect icon from the menu bar step ensures that you will be able to modify the configuration settings. 3. Go to File > Properties to make configuration changes.
  • Page 36: Firmware Update Procedure

    Firmware Update Procedure 1. After the communication settings are adjusted, press the Enter key on your keyboard. This will initiate communications with the card and display the screen at right. You can also cycle power on the Open- Comms NIC card. This action will also ini- tiate communications and provide information on current revision status.
  • Page 37 8. When the above prompt is displayed, start the file download process by selecting Transfer – Send File… from the HyperTerminal menu, as shown at right. 9. Select Xmodem for the Protocol and browse to locate the file OCNIC_REVx.x00.0_BLDxxx_FILE1.s19. 10. Click on Send in the dialog box. NOTE Do not press any keys on your keyboard or the firmware download will abort.
  • Page 38 Firmware Updates Once the last file is downloaded, the screen at right will appear. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to change the baud rate back to 9600 bps as show in the illustration below right. After the communication settings are adjusted, hit the Enter key on your key- board.
  • Page 39: External

    XTERNAL Power Connection Power for the OpenComms Network card should be sourced from the supplied wall-plug transformer. Use field-supplied wiring to connect the outer terminals on the transformer to the screw connectors at TB3 on the Network Interface card. A field-supplied ground wire attaches to the center terminal on the transformer and connects to the ground- ing stud in the lower corner of the enclosure.
