SY96K160H & Modbus/ dry relay contacts integration

Hello,

There are a few SY96K160Hs in LANs, but it is needed to monitor the system via dry relay contacts and RS-485 ( modbus protocol).

So I wonder,
1) if there is a card to provide some kind of signals and what signals we'll get - please send a table or a link?
2) If we use AP92200 ( ISXM) with modbaus integration (APPLICATION NOTE #70) , then what signals excactly we get?
3) If we install AP9619 in SY96K160H, then what signals we'll have from output contacts?
4) Is it possible to get RS-485 connection directly from SY96K160H

Any other ideas or hints are highly welcomed.
Thank you in advance.

As an addendum to my last message, the UPS modbus map for all UPSes is in this appnote:

[UPS Modbus Map|http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/JRUK-63SRXH_R2_EN.pdf]

Modular distribution, if purchased with the PX2, is also available via Modbus, however I don't see a Modbus map listed on the web. Feel free to message me if you need any help with modular distribution on Modbus.

The built-in dry contacts on the PX2 can be triggered by these UPS conditions:
* Any UPS Warning Alarm
* Any UPS Critical Alarm
* UPS On Battery
* On Battery & Low Battery
* Replace Battery
* System in Bypass
* Switchgear Alarm
* UPS is Overloaded
* UPS Output OFF
* UPS Load Alarm
* UPS Redundancy Alarm
* UPS Runtime Alarm

Additionally, if you have modular distribution, you can trigger on:
* Maximum/high/low/minimum module/subfeed/system current
* Module breaker position
* Maximum/high/low/minimum subfeed/system voltage
* Subfeed/system frequency

If the UPS has environmental monitoring (I'm not sure if this comes with it), then temperature and humidity probes can trigger the contacts as well.

Hi,

It doesn't look like the MegaWatt is capable of using smart slot cards.

However, if you can, there is a Modbus/JBus card:

Thank you,
Why it doesn't look like the SYPX 2 is capable of using Smart slot cards?
http://www.apc.com/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SY96K160H
The web site says that the UPS includes Web/SNMP Management Card

I wonder what data excactly the card ( AP9622) will send from the particular UPS ( PX-2)?
Why not to use ISXM or ISXC?

PX2s have dry contacts that can trigger on a wide range of conditions, from various output voltage and current conditions on subfeeds, modular distribution breakers, as well as the UPS conditions. The Web/SNMP module firmware also enables ISX Manager to expose much of this information over Modbus.

I apologies for being vague on the exact capabilities... I'll know more on Tuesday when I go back to work.
