7 External Monitoring and Building Management Systems
Vertiv™ Liebert® iCOM™ controlled cooling units are equipped with embedded Vertiv™ Liebert® IS-Unity-DP software to communicate with external
monitoring systems including Building Management Systems (BMS), Network Monitoring Systems (NMS) and Vertiv™ Liebert® SiteScan™ Web.
Embedded Unity communicates with multiple third-party protocols to monitor and manage a range of parameters and events. The Embedded Unity software
delivers:
•
Velocity protocol for Vertiv™ Liebert® Trellis™, SiteScan™, and Nform.
•
Embedded LIFE™ Technology for Remote Services
•
SNMP (v1/v2/v3) for NMS.
•
HTTP/HTTPS for web page viewing.
•
SMTP for e-mail.
•
SMS for mobile messaging.
•
Modbus RTU—Remote Terminal Unit. (MODBUS RTU RS-485)
•
Modbus TCP Transmission Control Protocol for BMS over Internet or LAN.
•
BACnet IP—BACnet over Internet Protocol for BMS over Internet or LAN.
•
BACnet MSTP—BACnet Primary-Secondary/Token-Passing communication protocol for BMS over an RS-485 serial network (Modbus MSTP
RS-485).
7.1 BMS and Vertiv™ Liebert® IntelliSlot Settings
When communicating with a building management system (BMS) with an optional IntelliSlot Unity card or via embedded Unity function, the BMS settings are
identical and include:
•
Disconnect fail safe
•
Manual pump speed control
•
Allowing the BMS to change pump speed
•
Backup pump and temperature control
7.1.1 Configuring BMS Communication with Embedded Unity
