Chapter 2 Getting Started

NOTE If you have completed all sections in the Power Xpert Gateway Series 2000 Card
Quick Start Instructions, proceed to Chapter 3, “Configuring the Card,” on page 21.

This section explains:


S Checklist items needed for installation
S Installing the card
S Connecting the card
S Verifying or assigning the IP address
S Configuring the network settings

Installation Checklist
1. Verify that all of the following items are available:

- PXGX Series 2000 Card package contents (card, configuration


cable, Ethernet cable, and quick start instructions)

- Phillips® screwdriver

- Available serial port (RS-232)

- HyperTerminal® (ships with Microsoft® Windows®) or equivalent


terminal emulation application

- Web browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla® Firefox®


recommended)

2. Provide the local network administrator with the card's MAC


address:

- MAC Address Port 1 _________________________

- MAC Address Port 2 _________________________

The MAC address for Port 1 is located on a label on top of the card.
To determine the MAC address of Port 2, increase the Port 1
address by one. For example: 0060261089A8 (Port 1),
0060261089A9 (Port 2).

GETTING STARTED

3. Contact the local network administrator for the following network


settings:

- IP Address Port 1 (static address*) _________________________

- IP Address Port 2 (static address*) _________________________

- Gateway Address _________________________

- Subnet Mask _________________________

- DNS (name server) IP Address** _________________________

* The PXGX Series 2000 Card provides two network connections


(Port 1 and Port 2), each accessed with separate IP addresses. If
you are setting up the PXGX Series 2000 Card in a dynamic host
configuration protocol (DHCP) environment (default), the local
network administrator must set up the DHCP server to provide a
static address each time the card makes a DHCP request. Use
Port 2 only if you need a redundant connection using a separate
subnet.

** Obtain the Domain Name Server (DNS) IP address if you plan to


use host names.

4. If you need e-mail functionality, obtain the SMTP IP address or host


name. If using the SMTP host name, verify that you also have the
DNS IP address (see Step 3).

IP Address Assignments


Many IT managers prefer the convenience of DHCP for managing the IP
addresses of networked devices. With DHCP, IT managers can easily
reassign IP addresses as the network structure changes. In some cases,
DHCP may not be available, or fixed IP addresses may be preferred for
the PXGX Series 2000 Card (for example, if some other networked
device needs to reach the card at a fixed address).
To verify the IP addresses assigned through DHCP, continue to
“Verifying IP Addresses (DHCP enabled).” To manually enter fixed IP
addresses for the card's network connection, continue to “Assigning IP
Addresses (DHCP disabled),” on page 13.

NOTE By default, the PXGX Series 2000 Card requests an IP address via DHCP when
connected to a network.

Each NetWatch client uses its IP address to register with a specified
PXGX Series 2000 Card through the network. Once a client has
registered, any change in UPS status is communicated to NetWatch.
Depending on the operating system, NetWatch typically alerts the
user(s) whenever the UPS begins supplying AC power from its batteries
(for example, the AC line fails). Then, if AC line power does not return
and the remaining battery time is low, NetWatch takes over and
completes an operating system shutdown prior to the UPS running out
of battery power.
Settings found in the NetWatch Configuration page are related to the
automatic shutdown of the UPS-protected computer system using
NetWatch.

CONFIGURING THE CARD

Configuring NetWatch
To configure NetWatch client shutdowns, perform the following steps
for each load segment you want to modify:

1. From the card's Web page, click the NetWatch link from the menu
bar.

The NetWatch Configuration page displays. The UPS load segments


are shown with configuration options for each segment.

2. The card notifies NetWatch clients when there is a power outage.


To modify how long the card waits before sending the message,
enter a value between 10 and 600 seconds (10 seconds to
10 minutes) in the Delay before first AC fail warning message field. The
default is 10 seconds.

3. To modify how often the card repeats the power outage


notification, enter a value between 30 and 600 seconds
(30 seconds to 10 minutes) in the Warning interval field, or enter 0 to
receive only the initial message. The default is 60 seconds.

NOTE You can change the name in the Load segment name field. Changes to this field
update throughout the PXGX Series 2000 Card Web pages when the settings are saved.

4. To enable NetWatch to shut down clients during a power outage,


select Notify client OS to shutdown on an AC failure.

5. Set the appropriate Number of seconds the AC failure must last before
client is notified to start OS shutdown to ensure that the NetWatch
clients shut down only when there is an extended power outage.
To modify, enter a value between 1 and 21600 seconds (1 second
to 6 hours). The default is 600 seconds (10 minutes).

CONFIGURING THE CARD

6. To turn off power to the UPS output receptacles following the client
shutdown:

S Select Load segment to turn off following OS Shutdown.

If Load segment to turn off following OS Shutdown is not selected,


the power will remain available to the UPS output receptacles
until the UPS battery power is exhausted.

S Set the appropriate number of seconds for the Delay before


segment turns off to ensure that any NetWatch clients and their
respective operating systems have enough time to complete
their shutdown. The default is 180 seconds (2 minutes), but you
may want to increase or decrease this value as appropriate for
your system and available battery runtime. To modify, enter a
value between 30 and 3600 seconds (30 seconds to 1 hour).

7. To reboot the UPS and the associated load:

S Select Load segment to restart following the return of AC line.

If Load segment to restart following the return of AC line is not


selected, the UPS will stay off (requiring local interaction to turn
it back on) when utility power returns.

S Set the time for Delay Before Segment Restart to a valid delay value
to allow the UPS enough time to restart after the specified delay.
To modify, enter a value between 10 and 3600 seconds
(10 seconds to 1 hour). The default is 30 seconds.

To stagger the load segment restarts (for sequencing, or to avoid


a power surge), enter a different delay time for each load
segment.

8. Click Apply and then OK to save the settings.

Shutdown Clients
The Shutdown Clients area displays the IP addresses of the clients that
have registered for the shutdown service. Eaton recommends that each
client test the shutdown feature by clicking Shutdown Test.

Chapter 4 Root Certificate Authority Installation

Improve the security of your PXGX Series 2000 Card on the Web by
installing its root certificate authority (CA) into your browser's CA cache.
A CA is a trusted third party that issues digital certificates for use with
encrypted digital transactions. The digital certificate guarantees the
identity of the Web site of the company that holds the certificate. In this
case, the PXGX Series 2000 Card functions as both the CA and the
certificate holder.
You can use the card without installing its root CA (using HTTP), but the
transactions will not be as secure as with the root CA (using HTTPS).
You can require secure transactions by configuring the card for HTTPS
(see “Configuring HTTP and HTTPS Ports” on page 32). The
performance of the card is not impacted by using secure transactions.

Chapter 5 MIB Files

This chapter describes the Management Information Base (MIB) files


available with the card. A MIB is an information repository residing on a
device in a communication network. Network management software
uses a device's MIB to manage the device. Every manageable device on
a network has a MIB consisting of one or more files that list information
about the device.
Use the facilities provided by your Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) management software to access the individual MIB
objects. The objects define the information available about your UPS.
You can configure a device so that it generates a trap if a certain
condition occurs, such as an alarm clearing. The trap is sent to the
management station to inform it of the occurrence.
This chapter contains an overview of MIB definitions for each of the MIB
files:
S Powerware UPS MIB
S RFC 1628 UPS MIB
S Eaton EMP MIB
S Eaton Alarms+Traps MIB
S Eaton OID Assignments
S RFC 4133 Entity MIB
S RFC 4268 Entity State MIB

Powerware UPS MIB


NOTE Not every UPS model implements all of the Powerware UPS MIB objects. For
example, the Bypass objects are supported only by larger UPSs with a separate bypass feed.

The Powerware UPS MIB consists of the following groups:


S Identification – the xupsIdent status objects provide UPS information,
such as the UPS model or UPS firmware version.
S Battery – the xupsBattery status objects provide UPS battery
information, such as battery time remaining or the percentage of
battery charge.
S Input, Output, and Bypass – the xupsInput, xupsOutput, and
xupsBypass status objects allow the network manager to check or
graph the condition of the UPS and its environment, such as
monitoring input voltage and output load.
S Environment – the xupsEnvironment objects provide data around the
UPS, such as the ambient temperature, and also allow you to set the
upper and lower limits for the ambient temperature alarm.
S Alarms and Traps – the xupsAlarm and xupsTrapControl objects alert
the SNMP management station to the condition of the UPS and of
significant conditions, such as Shutdown Imminent.
S Test – the xupsTest objects perform a general UPS systems test and
UPS battery test.
S Control – with the xupsControl objects, a network manager can
remotely control the UPS by SNMP set commands, performing such
tasks as shutting down or turning on the UPS.
S Configuration – the xupsConfig objects allow you to view UPS
configuration, such as watts, voltage, or frequency and configure the
UPS date and time and installation date.
S Receptacle – the xupsRecep objects provide status information about
the controllable load groups and control objects for removing and
returning power to these load groups.
S Topology – the xupsTopology objects describe the machine type and
are primarily used for machine-to-machine communication within a
power management system.

Chapter 6 Modbus Registers

This chapter describes the UPS data that is available through the
Modbus TCP/IP protocol. The UPS monitors several parameters, such as
voltage, current, power, and alarms. The value of each parameter is
stored in a corresponding Modbus data register.
The values of the parameters can be read over an Ethernet network by
using Modbus TCP/IP building monitoring programs or Modbus TCP/IP
analyzer programs.

NOTE If your Modbus program requires one-based addressing, add a one to the register
addresses listed in Table 7 on page 73. For example, one-based addressing for the vendor
name would be 1033 (1032 + 1).

Obtaining the Modbus Register Map


To view a list of the Modbus registers in your UPS:

1. From the card's Web page, click the Modbus TCP Register Maps link
under Documentation on the menu bar.

2. Select the hardware type from the Select a map to generate


pull-down menu.

3. Click View Register Map. A dialog box opens.

4. Click Open to view or Save to save the file.

NOTE The Modbus file is a comma-separated values (*.csv) file that can be opened in
Microsoft Excel software. Some computer configurations automatically open the files in the
Microsoft Excel software instead of prompting you to save.

5. If you selected Save, select a location for the


pxgx-modbus-uid-XXX.csv file, where XXX is the UnitID of the
requested map.

NOTE Some browsers leave a blank window open after you save or view the file. Close the
window.

when it receives an incoming register/discrete/coil READ request for an
address that is not currently valid. To improve performance in some
situations, you can configure the card to disable this error response and
instead return zero-filled data in all of the invalid address ranges,
To change how error codes are returned:

1. From the card's Web page, click the Modbus TCP link from the menu
bar.

2. Clear the Return error on unsupported read request check box to


disable the error code or select the check box to enable the error
code.

3. Click Apply and then OK to save the setting.

MODBUS REGISTERS

Modbus Register Addressing


This section describes Modbus function codes, data formats, and data
addressing.

Modbus Function Codes


The UPS registers are read using Modbus Function Codes (FC). For
most UPS registers, FC 04 is used. For alarms, FC 02 is used. The UPS
supports the following hex function codes:

Table 5. Function Codes

EATON Power Xpert® Gateway Series 2000 Card User's Guide S 164201677 Rev 3 69
MODBUS REGISTERS

Data Formats
Modbus programs usually provide an option for viewing various data
types. Refer to your Modbus program documentation for detailed
information on viewing data options.
A register is 16 bits (two bytes). The UPS supports the following data
types:
S STRING – A string of ASCII characters (two per register). Consult the
Size parameter to find the string's length for a given entry (it is a
multiple of two so that entries are register-aligned).
S FLOAT – A 32-bit IEEE754 floating point number. FLOATs are always
two registers.
S UINT – An unsigned integer. Consult the Size parameter to find the
integer's size for a given entry (it is a multiple of two so that entries
are register-aligned).
S TIME – The TIME type (ym dh ms) consists of six bytes specifying the
year, month, day, hour, minutes, and seconds. The bytes are stored
in hexadecimal format. If your Modbus application displays the
individual bytes in a register, view the bytes using the decimal option.
Otherwise, the bytes are best viewed by displaying the two-byte
register in a binary format and translating each byte to decimal.
For example, if today is May 17, 2008 and the time is 10:45 and
20 seconds, viewing each byte in decimal would yield the following
data, which is viewable as the year (08), month (05), day (17),
hour (10), minutes (45), and seconds (20):
08 05 17 10 45 20

See “Time or Date (FC 04)” on page 76 for more information.


S BOOL – A binary (Boolean) value of 0 or 1. BOOL is usually assigned to
discrete input alarms.

Data Addressing
If a data type spans multiple registers (such as a FLOAT), lower
addressed registers map to higher-order parts of the value. Within each
register, data is in most significant bit (MSB) first format.

70 EATON Power Xpert® Gateway Series 2000 Card User's Guide S 164201677 Rev 3
MODBUS REGISTERS

NOTE A Modbus register contains two bytes. Therefore, the number of registers
containing the information can be obtained by dividing the bytes by two. For example, the
vendor name in Table 7 on page 73 can be obtained by reading 32 Modbus registers starting
at register 1032.
NOTE If a register is not supported in a particular device, an exception response is
returned.

UPS Unit ID Numbers


The Unit IDs associated with the Modbus registers apply to specific load
groups or segments (see Table 6).
The UPS has a Unit ID of 0, 1, or 255, while load groups or segments
within the UPS have Unit IDs that range from 2 to 65 (for load groups or
segments 1 to 64).
If there is an optional Powerware Environmental Monitoring Probe
(EMP) installed, use Unit ID 254 to obtain EMP data. See “EMP (FC 04)”
on page 75 for more information.

UPS Registers and Alarms


This section contains information for the UPS Registers (FC 04) and UPS
Alarms (FC 02).

UPS Registers (FC 04)


Table 7 provides a partial list of data registers that is available from a
UPS. Not all registers may be available in your UPS or in selected load
groups.
To read the vendor name in the UPS, set the Modbus program to Unit
ID 1 and register 1032:

IP: <IP address of UPS>


Unit ID: 1
Starting Register: 1032
Number of registers: 32
Function Code: 04
The UPS returns 32 registers containing up to 64 characters. There are
two ASCII characters per register, so the vendor name could be
displayed as EATON.
To read the UPS output voltage from Phase C to Neutral, set the
Modbus program to Unit ID 1 and register 4050:

IP: <IP address of UPS>


Unit ID: 1
Starting Register: 4050
Number of Registers: 2
Function Code: 04
The UPS returns a floating point value of the output voltage from
Phase C to Neutral (such as 120.7 volts) of the UPS at the specified IP
address.

UPS Alarms (FC 02)


Table 8 provides a partial list of example UPS alarms. Your UPS may
have different alarms. UPS alarms are not registers, but are discrete
inputs and are read using FC 01 or FC 02.
The UPS monitors the condition of several parameters and can activate
an alarm status if a parameter is out of range. For example, if the utility
power is too high or too low, the UPS can set the Utility Out of Limits
alarm.
To read the Utility Out of Limits alarm, set the Modbus program to Unit
ID 1 and discrete address 1057:

IP: <IP address of UPS>


Unit ID: 1
Starting Address: 1057
Number of Addresses: 1
Function Code: 02
The UPS returns a BOOL value (0 or 1), indicating if the alarm is active or
not active. A return value of 0 (false) indicates an inactive alarm (the
utility input is within limits). A return value of 1 (true) indicates an active
alarm (the utility input is out of limits).

EMP (FC 04)

NOTE See “Configuring EMP Settings” on page 43 for more information.

The optional EMP for the UPS can measure temperature and humidity.
Because the device can be located outside the UPS, the reference is to
“auxiliary” data. In addition, it contains two connections for monitoring
the condition of auxiliary input contacts, such as a door switch. See
Table 9 for a list of EMP registers.
An exception code is returned if the EMP is not installed.
To read the temperature at the UPS, set the Modbus program to Unit

MODBUS REGISTERS

 Time or Date (FC 04)


Some UPS models support a time and/or date function. This format has
a DATE data type and contains six bytes. Each byte represents the year,
month, day, hour, minutes, or seconds (see page 70 for more
information).
To read the UPS date and time, set the Modbus program to Unit ID 1
and register 12203:

IP: <IP address of UPS>


Unit ID: 1
Starting Register: 12203
Number of registers: 3
Function Code: 04
The UPS would return three registers containing hexadecimal data in the
ym dh ms format (for example, May 17, 2007 at 10:45 and 20 seconds).

07 05 11 0A 2D 14

Viewing each byte in decimal would yield the following data, which is
viewable as the year (07), month (05), day (17), hour (10), minutes (45),
and seconds (20):

07 05 17 10 45 20

Viewing each byte as two-byte unsigned integers would yield the


following data:

1797 4362 11540

Viewing each byte as binary would yield the following data:

00000111 00000101 00010001 00001010 00101101 00010100

Two-Year Limited Warranty (US and Canada)


Power Xpert Gateway (PXGX) Series 1000 and Series 2000 Cards
WARRANTOR: The warrantor for the limited warranties set forth herein is Eaton Corporation, a Delaware
Corporation company (“Company”).
LIMITED WARRANTY: This limited warranty (this “Warranty”) applies only to the original End-User (the “End-User”)
of the Power Xpert Gateway (PXGX) Series 1000 or Series 2000 Card (the “Product”) purchased on or after June 1,
2004 and cannot be transferred. This Warranty applies even in the event that the Product is initially sold by
Company for resale to an End-User.
LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD: The period covered by this Warranty for the Product installed [and currently located]
in the fifty (50) United States, the District of Columbia, and Canada is twenty-four (24) months from the date of
purchase.
WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY COVERS: The warrantor warrants that the Product (the “Warranted Item”) is free
from defects in material and workmanship. If, in the opinion of Company, a Warranted Item is defective and the
defect is within the terms of this Warranty, Company's sole obligation will be to repair or replace such defective
Warranted Item (including by providing service, parts and labor, as applicable), at the option of Company.
PROCEDURES FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF WARRANTED ITEMS: The Warranted Item will be repaired or
replaced at a Company site or such other location as determined by Company.
If the Warranted Item is to be replaced by Company, and the End-User supplies a credit card number or purchase
order for the value of the replacement Product, Company will use commercially reasonable business efforts to ship
(via standard ground shipment and at no cost to the End-User) the replacement Warranted Item to the End-User
within one (1) business day after Company receives notice of the warranty claim. In such case, the End-User must
return (at Company's expense) the defective Warranted Item to Company in the same packaging as the
replacement Warranted Item received by the End-User or as otherwise instructed by Company. If Company does
not receive the defective Warranted Item, Company will either charge the End-User's credit card, or send the
End-User an invoice (which the End-User agrees to pay), for the value of the replacement Product.
If the Warranted Item is to be replaced by Company, but the End-User is unwilling or unable to supply a credit card
number or purchase order for the value of the replacement Product, Company will use commercially reasonable
business efforts to ship (via standard ground shipment and at no cost to the End-User) the replacement Warranted
Item to the End-User within one (1) business day after Company receives the defective Product from the End-User.
In any case, Company will provide shipping instructions and will pay its designated carrier for all shipping charges for
return of defective equipment and replacement of Warranted Items. Any returned Warranted Item or parts that are
replaced may be new or reconditioned. All Warranted Items returned to Company and all parts replaced by
Company shall become the property of Company.
WHAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: This Warranty does not cover any defects or damages
caused by: (a) failure to properly store the Product before installation; (b) shipping and delivery of the Product if
shipping is FOB Factory; (c) neglect, accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication, or incorrect installation; (d) repair or
alteration not authorized in writing by Company personnel or performed by an authorized Company Customer
Service Engineer or Agent; (e) improper testing, operation, maintenance, adjustment, or modification of any kind not
authorized in writing by Company personnel or performed by an authorized Company Customer Service Engineer or
Agent; or (f) use of the Product under other than normal operating conditions or in a manner inconsistent with the
Product's labels or instructions.
This Warranty is not valid if the Product's serial numbers have been removed or are illegible. Any Warranted Items
repaired or replaced pursuant to this Warranty will be warranted for the remaining portion of the original Warranty
subject to all the terms thereof.

WARRANTIES INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE,

Products, including loss of profits or revenue, loss of use of Products, loss of data, cost of capital, claims of
customers of the End-User or any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages whatsoever. The total
cumulative liability of Company hereunder whether the claims are based in contract (including indemnity), in tort
(including negligence or strict liability) or otherwise, shall not exceed the price of the Product on which such liability
is based.
Company shall not be responsible for failure to provide service or parts due to causes beyond Company's
reasonable control.
END-USER'S OBLIGATIONS: In order to receive the benefits of this Warranty, the End-User must use the Product
in a normal way; follow the Product's user's guide; and protect against further damage to the Product if there is a
covered defect.
OTHER LIMITATIONS: Company's obligations under this Warranty are expressly conditioned upon receipt by
Company of all payments due to it (including interest charges, if any). During such time as Company has not
received payment of any amount due to it for the Product, in accordance with the contract terms under which the
Product is sold, Company shall have no obligation under this Warranty. Also during such time, the period of this
Warranty shall continue to run and the expiration of this Warranty shall not be extended upon payment of any
overdue or unpaid amounts.
COSTS NOT RELATED TO WARRANTY: The End-User shall be invoiced for, and shall pay for, all services not
expressly provided for by the terms of this Warranty, including without limitation, site calls involving an inspection
that determines no corrective maintenance is required. Any costs for replacement equipment, installation, materials,
freight charges, travel expenses or labor of Company representatives outside the terms of this Warranty will be
borne by the End-User.
