Tripp Lite Expands Its Line of Network Management Solutions
Chicago, IL - Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, has expanded its line of network power management hardware with two new products. The MODBUSCARD and RELAYIOCARD enable users to monitor and control UPS systems remotely via MODBUS RTU protocol or contact closure outputs.
The MODBUSCARD provides reliable remote monitoring of a UPS system through Building Management System (BMS) or Industrial Automation System (IAS). This allows users to view and manage UPS status information in real time, which aids in the event of a power problem. The RELAYIOCARD provides UPS status and event signaling through a programmable dry contact closure interface. It also provides input signal relay contact to enable remote UPS system shutdown or battery tests.

"This ensures that our customers can monitor and control their power protection solutions using the method that best suits their installations. By enabling remote access and control of mission-critical equipment, network managers are able to eliminate the need for service calls to remote facility locations."
