UPS / Power Supply / Rectifier management with Environmental Parameters

Solved1.14K views17th December 2020GPIO UPS

Hello Community.

I know that we can integrate UPS equipment, eg. in my particular application it's the Alpha XM-2 and XM-3, and enable easy management procedures such as initiating battery testing and verifying the good health of vast numbers of UPS.

I would like to know whether we already added environmental parameters into the same integrations (by reporting the state of Digital I/O ports on the UPS machine) to enable visibility on Door Tampering State or Temperature of the cabinet for example.

Hi Jonathan,

In general, if the metrics are available via the remote control interface, they will be available in DataMiner.

For outdoor plants UPS' it can sometimes depend also on the transponder used to manage the UPS.  There's the older generation that uses proprietary mechanisms (typically Cheetah or AM Communications), and then there's the generation after that based on the HMS standard from SCTE.   As you specifically mention the digital I/O ports (indeed to detect door tampering and to measure the temperature in the cabinet, or more specifically in the battery compartment to get visibility on the battery temperature to manage their life cycle), I want to note that in many cases these are actually not part of the UPS but more a feature of the actual transponder used.  Most of the transponders have those capabilities, but just mentioning it, because not all have it.

Below an example of an XM-3 integration showing a door tamper state in the right hand side column.

Note that there is also a significant difference between the different types of implementations (proprietary vs HMS, Cheetah vs AM, and Alpha did some of their own transponders as well) in terms of set-up and how the data can be extracted by DataMiner.  If the system is based on HMS, it is quite straightforward and SNMP can be used.

Hi Jonathan,

In America we have some nice implementations based on SCTE standard for XMS2 and XMS3.

Assuring and Optimizing Energy Supply for the Network

We also have an SCTE Manager that allows us to:

  • Auto-provisioning
  • Auto assigning alarm and trending templates
  • Remote test scheduling
  • IP lease updates

Thanks.
