HI Edison,

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for but if it is specifically Modbus, some PDUs have a Modbus output directly. DCE also can be polled for Modbus information as well using the AP95MODBUS license key but it is limited to 247 devices. If you're looking for something else, please provide more detaill in what you're looking for.

Hi Steve thanks for the information, i have existing BMS using SBO 1.8 now i have plan to integrate the PDUs AP8853 to my BMS, what the best way to integrate?

Hi Edison,

Although some of the larger units do have Modbus, for now at least, the AP8853 doesn't have a modbus option...nothing I am aware of in planning either.

For this unit to be monitored via modbus over IP, assuming you have StruxureWare DCE as you've tagged this post with DCE and DCO, you would need the AP95MODBUS license key and you could then monitor up to 247 devices through DCE using modbus over IP.

You could also look for something like an SNMP to modbus gateway but APC doesn't have that option (outside of DCE).

DCE doesn't directly integrate with SBO like a plugin may but you can poll it's devices via modbus.

Hi Edison,

You may try UCME-SmartConnector™. UCME-SmartConnector™ is an Alert Notification software for Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure Building Operation (SBO) system.

UCME-SmartConnector™ can be used to send SBO alarms & system alarms via: SMS, Push, Email and Voice-over-Telephony. SBO alarms can be acknowledged remotely via SMS.
SBO values can be modified or queried remotely.

Alternatively, SBO can get rack PDU data & alarm from DCE using EWS. Look up for documentation on EWS for SBO & DCE.
