AP9620 - AP9622. Does it work?

[BillP]

 I would like to have the confirmation that if I use the card AP9620 with an SMX UPS, the UPS will be ale to communicate to the AP9622 modbus jbus card

[BillP]

No, you can't do this.

We have Modbus supported directly on some SMT/SMX models. Today, it is mostly SMT models but SMX models will natively support Modbus over USB or serial communications soon. If you can specify the model SKU you have, I can check the status and verify the model will be getting Modbus via a UPS firmware upgrade.

Later this year, Smart-UPS products will also get Modbus support via AP9635/AP9635CH Network Management Card 2 via Modbus over serial or Modbus TCP.

Hi Angela,

Thanks for your quick reply. I have SMX3000HV.

[BillP]

If it does not work, what do you recommend?

Note that the UPS must be able  to give 8 hrs at 1200 W load.

[BillP]

I wanted to prpose to my client SUT10000XLI. This works without any issues with the AP9622 modbus card, right?

[BillP]

I assume you mean SURT10000XLI? Yes, it works with AP9622.

[BillP]

Yes, sorry I meant SURT10000XLI. Can you give me details regarding installation of AP9622 with SMX3000HV UPS?

[BillP]

AP9622 is not supported in UPS models beginning with SMT/SMX/SURTD/SRT unfortunately. Here are the list of compatible UPSs with AP9622 -> http://www.schneider-electric.us/support/index?page=content&country=US〈=en&locale=en_US&id=FA156127 

If you want Modbus on SMX3000HV the options today will be: 

• Wait for AP9635 accessory to be supported with v6.3.X firmware that supports Modbus output. Tentative ETA is Nov/Dec 2015.
• Wait for SMX model UPSs to support Modbus natively within their own firmware. ETA is currently unknown and I'd have to research further.
• Look into something like an SNMPv1/v3 to Modbus gateway that can convert a protocol SMX3000 supports today, such as SNMP, to Modbus protocol
• Use another monitoring protocol such as SNMP to monitor the UPS

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello Angela,

That clear now, thanks. No, I dont have further queries.

Kind Regards
