Monitoring multiple APC UPS with one server

Greetings.
I was faced with the task of connecting many different APC UPSs for monitoring on a single server in my server room. 
I have 3xSUA3000RM12U, 1xSUA3000RMXLI3U, 1xSUA1501, 2xSUA1500RM12U in stock.
To monitor and control these devices, they have USB-B connectors and a COM port.
My idea was this: Make one main server that will manage all the UPSs at the same time, collecting data from them and controlling the shutdown of subsequent devices that are connected to the controlled UPS.
All this is needed to centralize monitoring and device management.
My idea of ​​how it should work is shown in the picture.
Screenshot_1.png I have not found any information on connecting multiple UPSs via USB-B or COM port to the same server. How i can manage UPSs in that way without buying a netcard for UPSs?

You can use HWiNFO64 to monitor multiple UPS over USB with a single Windows PC/Server but not control them. To monitor and control, you would need network cards installed in each UPS.

My task is to install the PowerChute software, configure the order of disconnecting the connected systems to the UPS and, without unnecessary investments (buying net cards will not work), connect this system to zabbix for monitoring. Therefore, I see an opportunity to create such a system with devices available to me as shown in the attached picture. 

 

But now I do not know if it is possible to transfer data from a computer that is connected via USB-A -> USB-B to the UPS. If this is possible, please send me the topic.
